Sledding in South Africa
These photos were taken at Klipriver in South Africa, where I train with my Siberian Huskies. We work our dogs every week, but only in winter with temperatures below 10 degrees centigrade.
Our equipment consists of three or four wheel custom made carts and the usual gangline and harnesses. Most of my harnesses come from the United States, but we have now started making them here. I make my own neck and ganglines.
This sport is slowly gaining a tremendous amount of popularity in South Africa and a few sled dog clubs have formed in other parts of the country to enforce the true legacy of the Siberian Husky breed.
