Wanaka Sled Dog Festival

O2B sponsored this event on the spectacular Snow Farm trails near Cardrona in 2022 with some supplements for the hard-working huskies! The event, run by the Southern Regions Sled Dog Club, is the only sled dog race held in New Zealand on snow. 

More than 80 different types of dogs were on the mountain, lapping up the snow and enjoying getting away from the usual forests and sand tracks. It was the one opportunity in the year when the sled dogs could do what they were bred for: tow sleds.
