The 7th annual Ox-cart races Jarmo (the Yoke) 2007.

The competing farmers were evaluated on three original disciplines.

Two traditional "furman" (carter) disciplines are speed contest - pulling logs towards a target as fast as possible, and a power contest - pulling heavy logs as far as possible.

In the third “husbandry” discipline carters should demonstrate how well they can carry out spring agricultural activities such as ploughing and planting with the use of oxen.
