Meet our members

The Ontario Four is defined by a legacy of power, tradition, and community. The families and crews who showcase the heavy horse in the ring represent the very best of the draft horse heritage. While the thunder of hooves and the gleam of polished harness capture the audience’s imagination, the passion and commitment of our members are the heartbeat of the Ontario Four. We invite you to meet our members—the dedicated hitches from across Eastern Canada and Northern United States who keep this storied tradition moving forward.
