They look a lot better on the internet than they do in person with your eyes frozen.

The race meet is awesome. I went in the late '90's. I tried to get to lead-up meeting at Arosa this year, but I guess the lake didn't freeze enough and cancelled the trip.

If you ever get the chance, go!!!

I was sent this link that has a nice video clip (and story) about the White Turf: http://www.3news.co.nz/What-the-Hors...1/Default.aspx .

I need to get out more. I had no idea that this type of racing happens. The pictures are amazing. Thanks very much for posting them.

I just can't get over the thought of being on skis, powered by a charging horse. :eek: I would break every bone in my body.
