To know the real value of Freedom, one must know the truth of the following statement “Some gave all while all gave some.” Christ gave his all to give you freedom and salvation. Likewise some men and women had to give all of themselves so that you and I can have the freedom we enjoy today. Reflect and be grateful. Look at the cross to what freedom costs. If you want people to get the chills, and instill a sense of pride in our country and military, this is the one! This gripping, patriotic film short is great to honor vets, remember the fallen and teach kids the price of their freedom.

Skijoring: Horse Drawn Skiing In Montana

Skijoring is described as a winter sport where a person on skis is pulled by a horse, a dog (or dogs) or a motor vehicle. In Montana they combine signature ski racing with cowboy roots which results in a wild fast-paced and entertaining spectator event.

Modern ski joring involves a horse and rider pulling a skier around a horseshoe shaped 700-foot-long course at high speeds, with the skier required to navigate over jumps and around slalom gates. The sport of ski joring began several hundred years ago in Scandinavia as a way to travel during the long winters, with skiers back then pulled by dogs. Skijoring found its way to North America, where bored ranch hands attached a long rope to the saddle horn, and galloped on a horse at high speeds down a long straight-away.

Currently, the sport of equestrian ski joring has become a highly specialized competitive sport, where competitors must navigate a high-speed, snowy course of jumps and gates and curves. In 1928, equestrian ski joring was actually an exhibition sport in the St. Moritz Winter Olympic Games.
