Skijoring is trying to gain a foothold in the South Cariboo, and to get more people excited about the sport, enthusiast Craig Conklin is holding a free workshop on Dec. 19 at 10 a.m. at The Hills Health Ranch.
Skijoring involves strapping yourself to a pair of cross-country skis and harnessing yourself to a dog for some great exercise, while touring snow-packed trails.
During the workshop, Conklin will explain how to use the equipment and demonstrate techniques.
“It’s a fun sport and I’d like to see more people get involved. It’s a great way to exercise your dog.”
People should meet at the front of the main building, and Conklin recommends that dogs be left at home for this session.
For more information, contact Conklin at 250-706-9484.
