The Expo is part of the North American Six-Horse Hitch Classic Series. Each year Six Horse Hitches across the United States and Canada compete at shows such as ours to accumulate points for the Classic Series. Close to two hundred hitches travel within their region, competing at sixty qualifying shows throughout North America.

The competition builds to a climax at the end of the series when the four highest point hitches in each of the three breed classifications are invited to compete for $80,000.00 in premiums at the North American Six-Horse Hitch Classic Final Championship. We are excited to have several of these Six-Horse Hitches in our region, join our show each year.

The expo is in historic Deer Lodge, MT., one of the earliest communities in Montana. There are many events and learning opportunities for those interested in the draft horse era. It all happens at the Powell County Fairgrounds.
