Larry Dodge of Brooktondale, New York has been pulling horses for twenty years.  He competes with his pair of horses in the heavyweight class in NY, NJ, PA, NH and Massachusetts.  Larry is the current vice president of the NYSHPA and when not competing you can generally find him judging at the horsepulls.  He makes his living as a trucker and Equine Tech at Cornell University.  Larry is part of a large family of pullers including Buck, Wayne, Kevin and Randy.  He tells us that the Sullivan County Fair in Forksville, PA is his favorite pull to compete at each season.  Larry considers a fifth place finish at the EDHA championship Round-up as his most important accomplishment in pulling.  Larry would like to see more cooperation from the New York State Fair officials regarding the horsepulling event and those who compete there.
