Of course, the camera bracket is also missing. Just kidding! Very
interesting. I have watched some film of cross country sled racing on TV but
not weight pulling. I see in SA, some dog owners try to replicate the sport
with wheeled "sledges". When I saw the term "easement", I initially imagined
some sort of frozen open gulley (yuc) but after looking it up realised it is
about the same as what we call a servitude.

Yes, I used it twice this December with Bandit, and in previous years
I have used it with two Malamutes, when I had two, with as many as 6
dogs, using some from two Malamute friends in the area, and with
single dogs or pairs for weight pulling contests. Our champion M,
after he retired from the show ring, loved the weight pulling
contests. More recently, Lee and I have not had the time to train our
dogs for more that just fun runs around the yard, down the quiet
street we live on (when we have someone to stop cars coming in) and
along the sewer easement through the woods when the snow is deep some
pundits
enough to make that passable.
Missing from the image, of course, is a harness. As anyone who has
been around sled dogs knows, when the dogs see the harness, they get
very impatient and a bit rowdy, so I took his portrait before bringing
out the harness. The line hanging down from the front part of the
sled has a metal hook with clasp that is used to connect the sled to
the tow line.
Thanks for looking and commenting.
