Pictured above is a gorgeous team of horses owned by John Marsh from Oxford, pulling in the heavyweight class. All that horsepower kicked up a cloud, that unfortunately for John, has resulted in a face full of dirt. The pulling contest was held in September of 1948, in Romeo, and unfortunately, we do not know the results or how well the team performed.
Do you have any information about John and his team, or do you know what other well known Romeo event horse pulling contests were once a part of? Send an email to rca@romeodistrictlibrary.org or leave a comment if you do.
