Sport d'origine scandinave où le skieur se fait haler par un cheval au moyen de deux rênes reliées entre elles par une pièce de toile très résistante. Cette méthode offrait le sérieux avantage de pouvoir pratiquer le ski dans des endroits dépourvus de dénivellation. 1, record 1, French, - ski%2Djoering

On retrouve aussi les graphies «ski-kjöring» et «ski-jöring». Le remplacement de «ski-kjöring» par «ski attelé» a été une bonne chose selon Vie et langage, mars 1953. Cependant, les deux termes demeurent appropriés : le premier rend une réalité d'origine norvégienne par un terme d'emprunt, le second le fait selon la langue française, «ski attelé» se modelant sur «courses attelées». La graphie «skijoring» pourrait cependant s'imposer parce que plus simple. 3, record 1, French, - ski%2Djoering

On tend maintenant à utiliser le terme pour toute activité où un skieur est tracté sur un espace plat par un animal (un chien, par exemple) ou un véhicule motorisé (comme une motoneige). 3, record 1, French, - ski%2Djoering

A "sled-dog race" is an event in "sled-dog racing", the sport. The breed of sled dog used by the Canadian Inuit, the Canadian Eskimo Dog, is back in harness, saved from extinction by a special breeding program after the snowmobile replaced dog power in the Arctic. Still, most of the dogs in sled-dog races are Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes and Samoyeds. The number of dogs in a team varies from one to nine 3, record 4, English, - sled%2Ddog%20race

Les Inuits ont surtout utilisé les chiens esquimaux pour se déplacer dans l'Arctique. Pratiquement éteinte avec la venue de la motoneige, cette race de chiens a été sauvée de l'extinction par un programme spécial de reproduction. Néanmoins, les attelages de chiens sont composés essentiellement de huskies de Sibérie, de malamutes d'Alaska et de samoyèdes. Un attelage compte de 1 à 9 chiens. 2, record 4, French, - course%20d%27attelages%20de%20chiens
