How Horse Pulling Fans Connect Through the HorsePullResults.com Community Forum

Updated

HorsePullResults.com's community forum gives members a place to talk about the sport between pulls, not just look up old results. According to the site, the forum is built for discussing recent pulls and results, sharing upcoming events, posting photos and videos, talking horses, teams, and equipment, asking questions and sharing advice, and reliving memorable moments from years past. Access to the forum comes with a subscription, so you need to sign up before you can join the conversation.

What the forum is for

The site describes the forum as an extension of its original mission of preserving horse pulling history. Instead of only archiving results, it now also serves as a meeting point for the people involved in the sport. The listed purposes are:

  • Discuss recent pulls and results — talk through what happened at competitions after the numbers are posted.
  • Share upcoming events — let other members know about pulls on the schedule.
  • Post photos and videos — share visual material from events.
  • Talk horses, teams, and equipment — exchange knowledge about the animals, the teams, and the gear.
  • Ask questions and share advice — a two-way channel for newer and experienced pullers alike.
  • Relive memorable moments from years past — draw on the site's long archive of results and the community's shared memory.

The site frames this as useful whether "you've been pulling for decades or you're just getting started."

How to get in

The forum is described as a member benefit, and the site's subscription sign-up is the entry point. The homepage links to a subscription page under "Sign-Up," and the site's own wording refers to subscribing for access to its results collection. In practical terms:

  1. Go to the subscription sign-up page linked from the site.
  2. Complete the subscription process.
  3. Once you have member access, use the forum to post and reply in the categories above.

The site does not publish the forum's exact menu structure or posting rules in the material available here, so treat the steps above as the general path rather than a click-by-click walkthrough.

What else members can do on the site

The forum sits alongside the site's other main functions, which are worth knowing if you are deciding whether to subscribe:

Feature What it offers
Results Pulling results from across the country
Schedule Horse pulling schedule from across the country
Clubs Listings for organizations including Bluegrass Horse Pulling Assn., Blue Ridge Horse Pullers Assn., Eastern Draft Horse Assn., Illinois Horse Pullers Assn., Laurel Highlands Horse Pulling Assn., Michigan Dynamometer Assn., Michigan Horsepulling Boat Assn., New York State Horse Pullers Assn., Southern Draft Horse Assn., and Wisconsin Horse Pullers Assn.

The site also carries notices such as pull cancellations and requests for pullers and members to send address changes, which shows the community side runs alongside the archive.

Practical notes

  • Check the schedule before you post an event. The site maintains a national schedule, so an event you want to share may already be listed.
  • Cancellations happen. The homepage has carried notices such as a BRHPA pull at Walnut Cove being canceled, so confirm details before traveling or promoting an event.
  • Keep contact info current. The site asks pullers and members to report address changes so listings stay accurate.
  • The forum is for members. If you only want to read results, you may not need the community features; if you want to discuss, share, and ask questions, the forum is the reason to subscribe.

If your goal is simply to look up results or a schedule, the public-facing pages cover that. If your goal is to connect with other pullers, share events and media, and trade advice, the forum is the part of the subscription aimed at you.
