2014 World Champion Six Horse Hitch - Calgary Stampede


Lights!   Camera!   Action!

There were 12 hitches competing this year at the 
Calgary Stampede World Championship Six-Horse Hitch Class.

The faces of the teamsters reflect the intensity of the moment . . while on the move . . .


and in the line up before Judges Chad Cole, Gary Nebergall and Jerry Wismer.


We appreciate the enthusiasm of the many people who were spectators at this year's competition.
We were very happy to see new competitors in the Heavy Horse Show from
Canada and across the United States competing in the
North American Six Horse Hitch Classic Series competition.
A huge thank you to the Calgary Stampede Heavy Horse Show staff
who made sure the show went on with the greatest of ease, and
finally, thank you, Bruce Roy!  You were as entertaining as always.


Our thanks to the Thiels for entrusting their beautiful horses they placed in our care and training program,
our 24/7 Eaglesfield staff members, Joe Dolan, Photographer J. Ann Brodland, and Stephanie Gray,
along with the Eaglesfield volunteers who helped make the show what it was.


And finally, a hearty thank you to all the members of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.  
Their symphonic cadence along with the stomp and jingle of harness 
brought even more excitement to the Saddledome 
on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening.
