"Skijoring Slow, Horse Wants Real Action"

January 16, 1931—Accustomed to the race track and finding his part in the winter
sports of Lake Placid too dull, a horse from a local stable left his driver with skis
uppermost, as is common in the sport of skijoring, and went on his own to resume
race training on the skating track at the Olympic stadium.

Skijoring

After pacing around the track which surrounds the hockey box he found it a bit too
slippery for record time and fell to his haunches, sliding a distance of some thirty
feet, really making speed this time.
