From the Bulletin
Our Bulletin for Sunday, June 6, 2004 had the following story.
Some time ago, at a Midwestern county fair, a
contest was held to see which draft horse could
pull the heaviest load. One horse pulled a sled
with a load of 4,500 pounds. It was the champion.
The second-place winner managed to drag 4,000
pounds. When the contest was over, one horse
owner suggested that it would be interesting to
see how many pounds the top two horses could pull
together. When the animals were harnessed together
they were able to pull 12,000 pounds! Together
they had pulled 3500 pounds more.
