Sport Division - 30.5 Points

HOMETOWN: Helena, MT

BIO: Ebbie loves the unique combination of super fast equine athletes and amazing skiers to create a sport like no other...called ski joring!

RACE HISTORY: It all started with a trip to Red Lodge last year because Joe (Scanlon) said "You've got a fast horse...you should try this"...we went...we pulled Bart Slaney and Lance Nelson. It was a round track and we were all over the place...in the snow...out of the snow. Zeek ran hard and a bit on the wild side. We ended up in the money with Lance and got hooked! We began this year at the Duckworth Bozeman Event with first time skiers, Aaron and Ryan Griffen....who are by the way originally from New York. They were ski racers as kids but ironically came out to Montana pursuing their dreams with rodeo and horses. Both of them being excellent horsemen as well as very talented on the skis. In Bozeman, we ended up placing both days and winning the average. In Whitefish, on the round track we placed the first day and had an overall fast time on Sunday, thus letting us take home the average buckles again. We also tied for first in the Long Jump pulling Ryan. Our third weekend, My Dream Team, of Zeek, Aaron and Ryan, expanded to add my mare, Zipping Z. We entered her in the draw and she placed second on Saturday and Third on Sunday. Running her chubby little self to a third place average win. Zeek ran a fast time overall on Saturday and we throttled back to stay clean on Sunday to end up with third for day money and Second in the average.
