About the Maritime 4 Horse Classic
The Maritime 4 Horse Classic Series is a season-long draft-horse hitch competition circuit held across the Canadian Maritimes. Teams of four draft horses compete in hitch classes driven by wagon or cart. Drivers and teams earn points at each leg of the series, with top finishers qualifying for the year-end Maritime Classic Series Finals. Events are hosted at agricultural shows and fairs throughout the region.
