Ski-joering is a blast! I have been doing this with my gelding,
Jock for about 6yrs now. My husband, Raymond doesn't ride, but he
loves to ski and I love to ride, so with ski-joering we can do
something together with my horse. I made my

It was a beautiful sunny, 40 deg. winter day here in southeastern
Wisconsin. We only have about 4inches of recently fallen snow, but this is
the day we chose to hook up our gelding, Green Briar Jock and see how he
likes ski-joering.
We made

I wasn't sure if it was just me. What I have been finding is that the ski
joering is a little more demanding than falling off a log. Actually,

challenge. But still, after 6

Dave: That's too steep a price for me-I'll stick with my made up
version. It looks like I will get a chance to try some ski-joering out this
week-end as we are expected to end up with 5-8 inches of snow in the next
couple of days. I'll let you

I plan on doing the ski-joering with a mounted rider pulling a skier, or
someone on a snow tube. How do you do that with no rider? Do you have a
tow
rope and reins? Must be hard to do both.

at the same time?

They ski joer with dogs here in Alaska, with a special padded belt around
the skier's waist hooked directly to the dog or dogs...With a quick release
shackle at the skier's belt I think. Then the skier uses ski poles to help
balance, and , with

I decided ski joering is harder to learn than four in hand, which you can at

I made a second go today, using one of our own horses, the particularly
steady one. It went well in the sense that I didn't do what someone
(Laurie?) described as a snow angel landing. I am prepared to accept the
fact that this isn't as easy

I'd like to believe they are genetically predisposed to do this work.

Dave,
Can you post pictures of this ski-joering harness set up on your website?

Jean, thanks for posting the ski joering sites. I knew of this clinic but

We used to put the breastplate of the harness on the horse with ropes
added to the end of the tugs. Then we saddled the horse running the
harness tugs under the riders legs and back to the skier. The skier
