In preparation for our first race, the Sheep Mountain 150, we’ve been training in the hills around the kennel to get the dogs fit for climbing. Lucky for us, the steep hills get the mushers in shape too!
I apologize for the darkness of the video, but with the winter solstice fast approaching, we’re getting used to mushing in the dark!

Ryne's wheel dog, left side. Who is that?
Sure enjoyed watching the dogs "fly" around the bend – thanks for posting 🙂
That's Tug!
Hey Rye! I'm showing this to my class & I'm bettig they're going to ask who's on your team. Will you make me look smart & tell me who you've got there??!! ~B
Sure!
In lead are Boondocks and Willie
In swing are Olivia and Scruggs
Beemer and Puppet
Scooter and Fang
And in wheel are Skittles and Tug
I hope they enjoy the video!
Skittles a wheelie?!?!?!? Who'd a thunk it!
Great video!!! Another new camera at SPKennel I suspect…
I can't even remember all the video devices and combinations I tried in years past…
Whatever you've got now seems pretty good… Keep 'em rolling!!!
One thought/idea… Camera mounted on the sled front shooting back at you… I think viewers would enjoy seeing your moves! I know I would!!!
Boondocks in lead! You go girl! Show everyone what a little girl can do. We are so proud of you.The whole team looks great. Thanks for the video Ryne!
YoLynn and Kotzee
Great idea about the camera mount on the sled. All these videos are awesome!
