Has anyone here ever tried skijoring?

It looks pretty fun and has a good cash prize. My sister has a horse and wants me to compete with her, and I was just wondering what to expect when riding behind a horse is it pretty hard or easy?

also if I did it would some heavily ridden Vishnu wet + hold up or would I want to ride something more specific to the competition?

High key looks like the same principle as water skiing, so if you can handle yourself on those you’ll probably be fine

When I was like 6 I'd do it with my dog, was pretty fun. Only did it for like 2 winters, then I got too big. Doing it behind a horse sounds fuckin sick, OP should do it.

well you should practice lol. shes got the horse so it sounds like you got the opportunity to put in a bit more time behind the reigns than most!
