This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with Race Organizer and longtime competitor Jennifer Butler about the world of Skijoring in Montana. These competitions are absolutely wild and when listen the podcast you will without a doubt confirm that! A Skijoring competition is done with teams made up of a person riding a horse that pulls a skier. In Jennifer’s case, she is the rider on the horse and her fearless son David is the on the skis! As Rigger put it; “At first, I was not sure if Jennifer and David and the other competitors were crazy and just lucky they are all still up walkin around or if they are incredible athletes that make crazy look easy. After watching them I’m pretty sure it is the latter”. Yeah, this Mother, Son team is pretty darn amazing. But you have got to listen to this Podcast to see what Rigger is talking about and learn all about this incredible sport and how to get involved or at least go see one of these competitions in Montana this year, especially the Whitefish Skijoring event. A list of links to all the other competitions is below.
