10-Horse Belgian Pyramid Hitch Returning to Farm Technology Days in Clark County

Tuesday, June 21st, 2022 -- 1:00 PM

The year was 2005, Clark County was hosting Wisconsin Farm Technology Days at Malm’s Rolling Acres just north of Loyal.

A new feature at the show was the Meyer Farms 10-Horse Belgian Pyramid Hitch. The hitch started as a novelty class at the Central Wisconsin State Fair a few years earlier. While the class was held only a few years at the fair, the Meyers were game to hitch it twice a day, each day at the 2005 show.

It was a hit! Since then, the hitch has been featured at a number of Farm Technology Days, most recently at Wood County in 2018. It has also appeared at numerous fairs and festivals across Wisconsin including the Midwest Horse Fair and most-recently the Dairyfest Parade in Marshfield.

The unique hitch has the ten horses in a “bowling pin” configuration: one leader, then a team with three behind them and four on the wheel (closest to the wagon). No two horses are one- in-front-of-another. The teamster has four sets of lines in his hands, one pair for each tier of horses.

Originally driven by Randy Meyer, son Kris now handles the lines assisted by his son Ty. The Meyer Farms 10-Horse Belgian Pyramid will hitch twice each day in the Equine Arena at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days, July 12, 13 and 14 at Roehl Acres in Clark County.
