Crazy Cousin Makes Good ...

Here's some information from Quicknotes at Carroll College, where Robbie Poirier is working ...

STAFF NEWS

Robert Poirier, Carroll's events arrangement specialist in the Campus Center, is an accomplished and decorated ski joring racer (that means, he races on skis at high speed over an obstacle course while being towed by a galloping horse!). He's aiming to bring home another championship belt buckle in the event at the Whitefish Winter Carnival on January 26-28. When you see Robert in the Campus Center, wish him the best of luck.

That's not a picture of Rob, but it gives you the idea of ski joring. Apparently Rob took the trophy at a Wyoming meet last week. A couple years back, the Helena Independent Record ran an article on the sport and featured Rob in a photo.
