2003 Iditarod Completed Our race season possible due to these great sponsors: Eagle Pack Super Premium Dog Foods NYE Frontier Ford MTA - Big Lake Susitna Veterinary Hospital - Marylou Whitney Northern Outfitters Marsland Labs/Amaize Supplements - Diversified Tire of Wasilla Helly-Hansen /SPY Optics (5th Ave. Mall, Anchorage) - Rhino Linings of Alaska - Buser Booster Club International - the world's greatest kennel crew: Sven Haltmann, Larry Fisher, Johan Scharis, Nikolai Buser, and Rohn Buser LATEST NEWS FROM HAPPY TRAILS March 25 - Following are Martin's notes concerning each of this year's finishing dogs. Bronson The unlikely hero and Iditarod record holder from last year came into Nome in grand style once again. I observed that Bronson, like last year, seemed tireless, had a tendency to veer left and maintained his body weight perfectly. If one would clone a dog, Bronson might be the mold. Inca What a difference a year can make. He was the first dog dropped from the record setting team because of a sore shoulder last year. This year however Inca not only stayed healthy, but set the pace in the Kusko 300, the junior Iditarod and was a major leader in my Iditarod team. Luna always happy, small and portly does not look much like the great leader that she is. No matter how difficult the trail, she seems to glide over it with ease. All the team members get along with her great. Luna also led Nikolai's junior Iditarod team.

is recognized as the "Winningest Musher in the World." His victories include not only the 1,049 mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race in 1993, 1996, and 1998, but also over two dozen first place finishes in races all across Alaska. During the past 20 years, Jeff has logged more than 100,000 miles on a dog sled. Jeff moved to Alaska in 1975 in search of adventure. He quickly became interested in dog sledding and Alaska huskies, devoting all his spare time and money to building his own team, while developing a construction business. He began racing in 1980. His competitive nature had found a new outlet, and Jeff set his sights ever higher, entering his first Iditarod just one year later. In 1992 he decided to devote his full time and energy to training and racing, setting aside his construction business. He won his first Iditarod the following season. While on a training run in Denali National Park in 1980, Jeff's team became entangled with that of a new volunteer ranger, and thus he met his future wife. Donna Gates came to Denali after finishing her master's degree in Medical Illustration. She and Jeff married in 1983 and began developing their homestead on Goose Lake just south of the park entrance. The King family also includes three daughters

Well, yours have just announced that the family is going to take a vacation during the school year and you have a chance to decide where.

Iditarod Dogs Iditarod Course Lengthened The Associated Press March 1, 2003 Sled dogs running the Iditarod course will have to cover more ground this year — a change that angers animal rights activists. Warm weather in Alaska has forced organizers to alter the Anchorage-to-Nome course to reduce the risk of the dogs falling through thin ice or slipping on melting snow. But that means a race that is usually about 1,100 miles in length is now longer by approximately 70 miles. Source ANC.org Sears Thanks to the work of animal protection activists, Sears has stopped sponsoring the Iditarod dog sled race. For more info on the Iditarod, visit: helpsleddogs.org First Dog Death of Iditarod Occurs March 2002 Jim Oehlschlaeger's dog Goro died in the 2002 Iditarod. He was a 5 year old male. "The preliminary report released Monday night said the dog suffered a spinal injury in the neck area as the result of a tangle in the gangline. The accident occurred after Oehlschlaeger missed a turn on the trail and was turning the team around. Goro got ahead of the pair of dogs in front of him, became tangled and when the team was being straightened out, he sustained the fatal injury."
