Robert Simpson of McDonough, NY. has been pulling horses for over 30 years. Bob, a past president of the New York State Horse Pullers Assn., competes with six horses in lightweight and  heavyweight classes in primarily NY, NJ and PA but  can be found most weekends after labor day pulling somewhere in New England . And if you see Bob around you know his wife Sue is somewhere near by. He makes his living trucking cattle, logging and raising heifers. Bob looks forward to competing in his favorite pull at the Dutchess County fair in Rhinebeck, NY each year. He told us he considers his most important accomplishment in pulling to be winning the NY. State lightweight championship in 1985. Bob says you have to really love horsepulling to compete because there certainly isn't any money in it.
