You can get more economical than this. It runs on water and hay.

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.

Joke Of The Day: A Horse Named Buddy

Rubber ChickenAn out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy.

He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, “Pull, Nellie, pull!” Buddy didn’t move.

Then the farmer hollered, “Pull, Buster, pull!” Buddy didn’t respond.

Once more the farmer commanded, “Pull, Coco, pull!” Nothing.

Then the farmer nonchalantly said, “Pull, Buddy, pull!” And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.

The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.

The farmer said, “Oh, Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn’t even try!”

Here’s a very touching video about Skidboot, probably the smartest dog anywhere. Get your tissues ready!

The Amazing Skidboot is the smartest dog you’ll ever see. He gained worldwide fame with his tricks, but had to give up performing once he started going blind.

Skidboot died in 2007, but David Hartwig continues to perform with several of Skidboot’s offspring.
