Very traditional!But nobody is talking about using horses for "skijoring" ... like that is OK ?
Snowmobiles hurt children and pollute.
Horses like to move.

I have seen that, on video. (I have been forced to watch Olympic dressage. Not sure how long I made it)Well, look up what "piaffe" is. My wife rides with an Irish Olympian who trains horses to piaffe by riding them down to the llama farm near his barn. If he can stay on, the horse will learn to piaffe (I'm pretty sure he always stays on).

They do here. http://whitefishskijoring.comMy guess is that the horses really like the skijoring. They seem to like horse racing and with skijoring they don't even have anyone on their back.
Says someone that has never owned a horse.I guess this form of archaic entertainment is still widely accepted in some remote areas.
I am not surprised.

Well that eliminates all riding except for working, transportation in the mountains.Using animals in a way that could be potentially harmful for entertainment purposes is not ok in my book and thankfully there are growing number of people that understand this.
You are so wrong !Says someone that has never owned a horse.
