During the first several days of the Fair, August 14 - August 19, majestic horses of various breeds will call the "Bluegrass Bowl" home as they show. Each day of the schedule is full of classes that will excite horse lovers of all ages.
The State Fair of West Virginia is proud to offer several different horse events. Including the Draft Horse Pull. If you've never witnessed a Draft Horse Pull, make time during the 2009 State Fair to watch these magnificent animals. Using a solid bottomed sled for pulling, teams of horses will start with a minimum pulling weight of 3000 pounds. The sled and weights must be pulled a minimum of 27 1/2 feet, in one pull, to qualify and continue in the competition. Weight is increased for the second pull and for each succeeding pull according to the judge's decision.
Harness Racing events at the State Fair of West Virginia continue to be an annual tradition for folks of all ages. The 2009 Harness Racing schedule will be posted soon.
