Mary Rosenberg

Mary has enjoyed a deep love for both horses and skiing all of her life. She dreamt of finding a way to merge these two passions and, in 2017, embarked on an adventure to develop gear by which she could ski behind her horse, Zena. Being that Zena could no longer be ridden due to physical limitations, this made Mary’s quest all the sweeter because she longed to continue to exercise and train with her beloved horse. After seven years of intense R & D, which included testing numerous prototypes and making countless adjustments, Mary has achieved success and is excited to share the sport of skijoring with people of all ages, ability levels and backgrounds.

Loren fell in love with skijoring in the winter of 2012. Determined to bring the sport to the forefront, she established Skijor International and built the first website to offer a comprehensive guide to the sport. Loren went on to form Skijor USA in 2016 with a vision to unify the competitive events in North America and improve organization, safety and fairness throughout the race circuit. Now Loren is focused on seeing the “horse-drawn skiing” style of skijoring return after more than 100 years.
