A Win at Sheep Mountain!

Race weekend went great for the Husky Homestead Crew!  Jeff pulled off a First Place finish with super star leaders Coltrane and Spider at the Sheep Mountain 150!  Handler Kristin Knight finished her very first race ever with a great looking team in 40th place.  A big congrats to both!

Here's a few pictures for you.... enjoy!

The entire team had a great time at Sheep Mountain over the weekend. Congratulations to all the mushers who took part and a huge kudos to Sheep Mountain for hosting such a fun and well organized event (as usual!).  Also, a big thank you to all the volunteers - couldn't be done without you!

To all of you a very Merry Christmas!!

Cheers,
HH Crew
