Have you had the thrill of watching a skijoring competition? Many Western states embrace the sport throughout the winter, including Montana – it combines two essential activities of Montanans: horseback riding and skiing. Horse and rider race around a track at full speed, pulling a skier who goes through a course of jumps, gates and rings. I’ve attended two events, one in Bozeman, and one in Red Lodge (there wasn’t much snow that year in Red Lodge as you can see – it was a muddy mess!). It is really fun to watch and a great social event. Only in the West could you find this type of sport!!
