  3. Whohoooo! What an adrenaline kick! We did some of it when I was a kid, but not that speed and no jumps - oh, they were really good!!!

  4. Once Upon... I'd LOVE to get pictures but I'm the only one who can ride competently enough in my family to gallop the horse across the field. I have yet to get someone willing to stand outside and take pictures for us. It is a blast though. Kids make snow hills to jump and everything.

  5. I've heard of skijoring with dogs but never horses. What a rush that would be!

  9. This is great. I forwarded the video to Maizie too because our house has been filled with skijoring talk this winter. Misty and Marley look like they would be good skijoring horses!

  12. That looks like a ton of fun, but cold. I'm not a big fan of cold.
