The Big Hitch
The Big Hitch – Salute to Slim Moorehouse
In 1925 Slim Moorehouse drove a hitch of 36 Percheron Horses pulling 10 grain wagons loaded with 1477 bushesl of wheat through the Calgary Stampede Parade. It is our intention to honor a man who was a great horseman and a world record holder. The hitch, horses and wagons, was 350 feet in length and he was the only driver.
Starting on June 29, 2016 we will be driving a replica of this hitch, 36 horses and 10 wagons, from Gleichen AB to Chestermere AB and then through the Calgary Stampede Parade.
