Extractions: March 7, 2005 What do you get when you mix winter in Wyoming, horses and skiing? Ski Joring! Riders on horses pull skiers and snowboarders down a course of jumps and tight cuts in a timed race event. Jumps are made using hay bales with packed snow for ramps. Some of the more experienced skiers and snowboarders get some incredible air as they try to maximize their jumps and put on a show for spectators. Winners received medals. The racers had to navigate four hay bale jumps along the winding course to complete the run. If the racer crashed on one of the jumps, Julie rode back with the pull rope and the racer continued the course to the finish. The racers with the fastest overall time won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals. This was a fun event for both racers and spectators. Wyoming can’t claim credit to inventing ski joring, although the sport does fit perfectly with our long winters and western ranching lifestyle. Ski joring began as a sport in Scandanavian countries hundreds of years ago as a means of travel over the winter using Nordic skis and reindeer. Today, equestrian ski joring is a highly specialized competitive sport with scheduled events in many states. In other places, skiers might be pulled behind snowmobiles, mules or even dogs.

What You'll Need Where to go in Montana What is Ski Joring? If you're a ski joring enthusiast from way back, you can probably skip this section. But chances are, you're scratching your head in wonder right now, trying to figure out what ski joring is. The easiest way to explain it is: it's a cross between dog sledding and cross country skiing. Or, it's a cross between sleigh riding and cross country skiing. Depending on which animal you prefer, it involves having a dog or horse pull you on cross country skis. (You're on the skis, not the dog or horse.) This activity, like just about any activity involving cross country skis, traces its roots to Scandinavian heritage. But it's gaining popularity in the U.S., with a growing list of clubs and organized competitions such as the National Finals Ski Joring Races in Red Lodge, Montana each March.

Ski Joring Scandinavian countries are the originators of ski joring. The word joring translates to driving or ski driving. This sport has been done for several hundred years. http://horsehints.org/SkiJoring.htm
Extractions: Sep 1, 2010 by Debora Johnson Visit the North East Ski Joring Association Scandinavian countries are the originators of ski joring. The word "joring" translates to "driving" or ski driving. This sport has been done for several hundred years. Laplanders skied on Nordic skis holding reins attached to reindeer. It is also done with dogs, mules, horses, and snowmobiles. Ski joring came to the United States in the 1050's. Ranchers attached a long rope to the saddle horn and rode the horse at high speeds down a long straight-away. Currently, the sport of equestrian ski joring has become a highly specialized competitive sport, where competitors must navigate a course of jumps, gates and sometimes spear rings. On April 24th, 1999, directors from almost every major ski joring organization in the country, met in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and began a process that would change the sport of ski joring forever. After several follow-up meetings, the North American Ski Joring Association (NASJA) was born. This marked ski joring's beginning as a sanctioned competitive sport. NASJA was developed because of the need to consolidate existing ski joring races into a circuit. Competitors could now earn points that would officially go toward a National Champion Award. NASJA developed standardized criteria for all sanctioned events. Because of this standardized criteria, each competitor would have an equal opportunity at becoming the official National Ski Joring Champion.
