People with Nordic skis have harnessed reindeer and horses for hundreds of years as a way to travel
across vast snowy expanses. Skijoring behind reindeer made became part of the Nordic Games in the early twentieth century and is still done in some Scandinavian countries today.

Americans brought Equine skijoring back to North America after seeing it on their European trips. In 1915 it was a recreational activity in Lake Placid, New York and soon it was a regular event at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival in Hanover, New Hampshire.
