I remember reading that the course is specifically designed to make the race competitive. Had the race been more flat it would favour the horses, had it been even more hilly it would have favoured the humans.
+Gustav Svärd Also, the distance is about the right balance between the horses' speed and the humans' endurance. If it was longer than about 30 miles, the humans would win every time.
+Condor Boss So then, it would be unfair. Well, actually, now that you think about it their was an 80 mile race for horses, and they loped, cantered, and trotted. I'm pretty sure a horse could still win if it were longer, because horses were actually made for working, which includes endurance and stamina, especially with their powerful limbs they have, that were especially made for full on speed and working.
But go for 100, 200, 400 miles and humans start winning. Yes, horses have endurance and stamina, but humans have more. The only animal to my knowledge, that has more stamina is a certain dog breed.
yea full speed. You cant go full speed for 80 miles, you cant go fast at all for 80 miles. And no matter what, a horse wouldnt be able to go fast at all for 80 miles because it woudlnt have teh energy. Humans would. It prob woudl just walk slowly after a while whereas humasn coudl go on
@@miaha.4433 Not a chance. It would be impossible for a horse to keep up with a human on ultra marathon distances. The horse would die of exhaustion if it pushed to keep the same pace.
2:25 the horse was just trying to say to breath through your nose
Jerod Rumney fuck you
Voornaam Achternaam wtf is your problem?
Voornaam Achternaam lol what the hell
@@Snowball-qr6xx found the mouth-breather
@@matthewmunoz4318 fuck you
the thing with horses is, they are also built for long distance running
well, it depends on which breed :P
GeorgiaJCP very true.
GeorgiaJTV yep like quarter horses won't run very far at top speed but like the other person said Arabians are pretty good for long distance
equinebrainiac
This video is bullshit.
Before cars, horses carried us hundreds of miles traveling.
What kind of horses do you have !?!?! What are they eating?!?!?!
😂😂😂😂😂
You're a hell a lot right then this dumbass that make this video horses are strong and fast not slow and stupid they carried as hundreds and thousands of miles they died for us so you're right you're completely right
To be fair the horses, they also had to carry humans hahaha
+Nibblenub
Yes we know, they said so in the video. Turn off mute.
SilverSwe Who pooped in your frosted flakes this morning?
+Nibblenub
Hahah cant handle that you suck? Jesus christ, just watch the video again and stfu
+SilverSwe No, everyone knew. No need to add salt in Frosted Flakes when its covered in so much sugar already. Hes simply stating the fact that they also had the condition of carrying humans, which is a bit unfair. It doesn't matter that the video already said it.
The horses had to carry humans, but the running humans also had half as many legs, and half as much speed and power. Both sides had a disadvantage.
"Any advice for the new comers?"
"Breathe .... Breathe" -Turns around and leaves.-
Nicely produced. Great theme song!
I really enjoy the way you style your videos, it remains informative yet has moments to breathe with humour and pleasant mini-facts while still getting to the point.
It's not too clunky and feels rather refreshing to watch! It also has a good mixture of animation and real footage!
My Aunty actually competed in this with her horse this year
What's her name? Maybe I met her...
Jenny French, horse was called star
+JoannaRice93 wow.... Im so proud of her horse.
I highly doubt that
Why is that doubtable? There's no reason to doubt that. It's not impossible for someone to enter. It's probably not that hard for someone to enter either.
SO I PACKED MY LUNCH AND I GAVE MY BOSS THE SLIP WROTE MYSELF THIS THEME SONG GOING ON A FIELD TRIP YEAH
wait 28 miles per hour? I knew Usain Bolt is the fastest human on earth, but damn, 28 miles per hour doesn't even sound human!
And hard to believe he's still slower than most house cats :P
wizzzer1337 Now it seems his record has been taken.
It's really impressive, but that only works if your a sprinter; if your a long-distance run that amount of speed will last you a few minutes at most.
He could get pulled over in a school zone 😂
its actually as fast as a horse so not that easy
I love how the first human to win was actually a hugh-man.
Don't get fooled, it's obviously an alien trying to disguise itself
@devvyas6751 Quite so, as the Welsh words on his back don't seem to be a language from this world...
Kind of off-topic but I like how this also has raised from a typical pub rant :D
This human vs horse racing was featured in the famous Born To Run book. The thing is, over the distance of marathon the horse has really good chances to win. The longer the distance gets, the bigger advantage of the trained male ultramarathon runner will be. He has a higher terminal speed than even a riderless horse, not by much, but the advantage is measurable. So ultimately the trained runner will outrun the horse.
These videos are fantastic, very happy to stumble upon this channel.
fun fact: this race is actually shorter than a regular marathon to give the horses a fairer chance
Hi I don't think you will remember me?? I was with my sister in 2015,she was on the horse and I was running! You interviewed me after I ran the race!! Thank you,I enjoyed the interview 😀👍
I'll take the horse thanks😂😍🙌
Same 😂 I ride

+Emma Thompson yep same😂👌🐴
Who wouldn't?

Such high production quality, well done!
4:49 this is both hilarious and terrifying
1. The horses were only trotting
2. They had to wait 15 minutes after the people started
3. Had a saddle and a human that they had to carry
1. if they were galloping the whole time they would probably pass out, remember the race is 2 hours!
2. I think that is fair, considering that horses are faster than humans
4. Without a rider telling them where to go they literally would run everywhere, and not say where they are meant to be. Also horses are bred unlike zebras to carry the weight of a rider. They are like 100x stronger than a human. For them carrying a rider is no problem
Sophia Ravenhunter and also the human finished first, but the horse still won. They're still counting by time, so it's not like the horses get any sort of advantage from that. I think it's just to make sure the humans don't get in the way on the track, at least for part of the time.
4. (or 5.) It's just for fun
It's also unfair to the human as we get better the longer the race. A special form of ultra marathon is a 24-hour run. Here, the participants have to run as far as possible within 24 hours. The male world record is 303.506 km (188 miles) and was set by Yiannis Kouros. 48 hour record is 294 mile Yiannis Kouros.
Lmfao, there's people who acctually think that humans are better long distance runners than horses, horses have been selectively breaded trough out centuries to go trough long distances at good speed.
Also, the domestication of the horse meant we could wear out the horse to catch up to prey, and then, if necessary, get off the horse and finish running after whatever we were chasing. Huge advantage.
Chasing down prey with bows on horseback the only thing I can see them being useful.
Native Americans lived years upon years without horses. They went and did everything on foot
@@badcornflakes6374 and look what that got them, they got fked by Europeans because they couldn't use horses. Horses provided us a lot we developed thanks to them just like dogs without them we humans would develop much slower. Without horses humans had no way of trading and communicating with each other, and thus natives just stayed in their bubble for the most part.
@@yavuz9038 LMAOOO.
well it's not fair because the horses had to carry humans
And the horses got a 15 minute disadvantage
but horses are like 100x stronger than humans, they have literally been bred to support the weight of heavy riders. Plus how do you expect to get the horses to go on their own lol
Matt Powell okay makes sense this way they don't obstruct eachother
Yes horses are trained and bred for it, but haven't humans trained?
damn so many biased opinions... "they had to carry humans" well they're heavier stronger and bigger than us.
"they started 15 mins after" if you saw the horse came after the human and got a faster time, use your head, also they're faster than humans and it may be long distance but is timed.
turn speeds on a horse can vary, it just depends on what discipline they do. Horses raised doing Western riding will be able to turn fast around barrels etc but horses raised doing English will also be able to turn quickly - just not as fast as the Western horse
Eorann McCartan But the point was that a human turns faster that a horse.... and they can.
Yeah yeah, that's nice and all, but the important question is: where do we get the NPR running shirt?
Just imagine how fast and far a hairless horse with the ability to sweat like a human could run. Shadowfax should have been a hairless horse.
I want more! :D Great production!
There's more th-cam.com/play/PLKqe_oheltif3ow0EE6b3Tkf2pWxwRqs9.html
Great video. I heard about this event several years ago and have always wanted to do it. Nice to watch this and get more information and perspective on the event. You should try it next year!
The only animal that could run at long distance better that a human at ultra marathons are huskies. And that's because they have a special adaptation that at the beginning phases of the race they use the fats and proteins and they completely cut off their glycogens stores. Allowing them to use small burst of glycogens thru out the race just enough to promote the usage of fats and proteins thru out the entire race. In the otherhand us humans burn most of the glycogen at the beginning phases. And even though they switch to use fats and proteins at some point. They still need that small amount of glycogen that helps burn the other macronutrients. Sadly the glycogens stores are small and deplets rather quickly.
We should also take into account that a lot of these horses are more heavily built. Light breeds like the Thoroughbred or Arabian are usually better at long distance.
The horses were carrying freaking humans. Humans will win if it was a long-distance endurance race, but here you are just riding the horses slow until they get tired.
+ABONESR
Note that the course is flat to compensate for it (put hills and the humans would win ) and a horse doesn’t have the intellect to do a race on his own .
Very throughly explained video with nice dynamics from start till the finish line ;)
It helped that they've written "human" and "horse" under all those photos of competitors because I wouldn't know who is who :b
It should also be said that in this competition they run a shorter distance than in a regular marathon.
In a regular marathon and in a hot day, most horses wouldn't even reach the end without completely stopping to rest.
What a great little story. What kind of filed recording equipment did you use? Cheers
I have a foot problem, where I can't run a long distance if I don't want my feet hurting.
wait, how do I enter this? I would actually love to do this with my horse!
why do people thumbs down stuff like this?
Because they're troglodytes.
Bc horses win everything..?
Man' really love how you did this video ❤ don't know it's like nostalgic , it gives me some childhood and even lowkey Sponge Bob vibes 😂😂😂 and the theme song tho!!! 😄
Why do the sheep have blue spots on them?
It's their numbers so when they round them up they can know which ones are gone and are there
I love your theme song! Super catchy.
Awesome video! Thanks, Skunk Bear!
I'd like to see some proper cross country horses come in. They would probably whoop the humans. Taking away the jumping, it would give the CC horses even more of an advantage.
If the race was longer the human would win. A special form of ultra marathon is a 24-hour run. Here, the participants have to run as far as possible within 24 hours. The male world record is 303.506 km (188 miles) and was set by Yiannis Kouros. 48 hour record is 294 mile Yiannis Kouros.
They often have event horses who often fail by halfway. This is 22miles of serious terraim. Its not an open field its hills and i mean real mountains and forest tracks and bogs that horses csn go down in. Even the fittest horses fail sometimes...the terrain is a killer
If it was somewhere with flat ground then maybe the horses from Mongolian steppes would to really well.
You're forgetting an animal that MAJORLY outstrips humans in endurance: sled dogs. They can run much farther than humans due to the way their metabolism evolved. Therefore, humans aren't the BEST, but we're definitely up there!
A well trained human can run father in a day in hot climates than any other animal. There's an annual event with special Arabian horses carrying less than 300 pounds running 100 miles(160km) in a day . The record for a human in 24 hours is 188 miles (303.5km.) Dogs are the best in the snow though, even when pulling a sled.
I have few points of concern. Horses have been a mode of transportation for centuries and used in so many wars and battlefields. If they were animals of lesser stamina, they would not have got the place they have got in human history. Also there are so many complexities involved - if you pit a human and antelope, humans may have more stamina but antelope has incredible speed that it can build a sizable lead before taking a short break, recover and start again
+Sharath S.K Here's an example of so-called "persistence-hunting" in practice. th-cam.com/video/826HMLoiE_o/w-d-xo.html
First off thanks for sharing such a wonderful video, it left awestruck, got me thinking. I'm sure this will make me do more research on this. But what about the point I made on horses, can humans outrun a horse?, horses have been used as a vehicle for centuries and Im inclined to believe that it must have had great deal of stamina as people would have travelled very long distances on it
+Sharath S.K Well, as you saw in the video, some humans have outrun some horses. Why do we ride horses, then? Well, it certainly saves our energy for other activities. And in a battle situation, as you mention, a horse could sprint much faster. But when you look at the use of horses to travel long distances at speed (for example the Pony Express in the American West) they tend to switch horses every 10-15 miles. In the end, I think who has better stamina very much depends on the conditions. But when you look at a horse's physiology, thermoregulation and behavior in the wild, it appears to have evolved for lots of walking/grazing and occasional sprints. When you look at human physiology and thermoregulation and try to understand the behavior of early humans, it seems that we evolved for distance running. And that's the theory that this video explores. For your further reading, I would recommend the work of Daniel Lieberman.
The early humanoids hunted how you described but they most likely did NOT hunt creatures as fast and mobile as antelope. It was probably bigger slower animals like buffalo and they even hunted mammoths. These creatures would wear down easier after about 10 miles rather than upwards of 50 like an antelope.
6:50 Dog says "Never thought about letting man's best friend in on the race."
A sled dog team against an iceland pony might be interesting.
QUALITY CONTENT!!!
How did Huw-manage it. This is the best pun I've ever heard.
I think there should be a weight category. I want to see packhorses vs. backpackers. Who is faster on flat ground?
I don't know about you guys but the ending song made me tear up.
This channel is amazing !
Humans should also hold a backpack of like 10 kg too .
We can't outrun a cheetah but we can outwalk them when they're tired
I think another thing humans would be the best at is throwing stuff. Correct me if I’m wrong, but no other animal can throw something as far as humans
Hey dude, not only did our ancestors hunt by running animals down, many indigenous people still hunt this way! I'm thinking a Raramuri runner could easily win a 50 mile race against a horse!
Hey! Does his shirt have the state of Oregon on it?
That forest you're running in is so gorgeous! Is it in Wales or the US?
Wales
It has to be more about what is equivalent. While yes, humans may be able to run longer, it’s all about what is natural. If a horse was allowed to run how it wanted to which is resting once in a while, they would beat humans in probably every distance over 25 miles. And they could still beat us under 25 miles because they don’t need to stop and rest if the race is that short
At the Tom Quilty endurance race, horses complete 160km in 10 hours or less. I'm pretty sure I could never achieve that, no matter how hard I trained.
Another reason humans can run longer distances than horses is that we can control our breathing, horses have to breathe with their stride. As you noticed the horses had to trot parts of the way to be able to catch their breath. The humans were running the entire time. This pretty much means horses can't run at their fastest pace for long periods of time.
I'd say it's kind of obvious that the horse would win. After all, they have twice as many legs as we do, and a bigger body with more muscles. That's more power and speed right there, even taking into account the human on the horse's back.
I love this guy!
Horses need to carry clamsy humans and they still win. What beasts. If they were running alone it wouldn't be even close
Do you have full trancript of video?
Yes humans can run for a long time, but it depends how fast they are running, while horses, dogs and other animals with great endurance running much faster, about 60-80 % of there top speed without getting exhausted and can keep up the pace.
the race would be much fair,if the human had to carry 40lbs each..
+sojib ahmed not really, i see it as the horse lacks the capability to understand what a race is so it has to compensate by carrying a human who has the intellect to do a race.
+Ryan McGuire i agree bro,thanks.
its not so much a complete comparison but more a show of how well we do endurance run. You think back a couple of thousand years ago we could probably out run any animal over a distance. Just a show of why we dont run fast it was more evolutionary compatible to make us slow but distant if that makes sense
sojib ahmed hard to be fair. Sure strap forty pounds to our back. But then swing it the other way. Double, quadruple the distance and suddenly horses start winning less. Move it to a hotter climate.
How did you not mention the fact that being bipedal makes humans more efficient in running than other animals. It's like one of the big differences between us and most everything else.
we can barely run quicker then a horse can trot
Celeste Hills gee, its actually a jog for us. I speak from experience ( i work at a eq )
Fox Fox i meant jog...sorry. and i'm not quick what so ever
Celeste Hills not my horse lol! she's lazy!
Nikki B. um....meet stella (not when jumping, this doesn't apply to her when jumping: she is lazy af
Yeah, but we can run for ever, if trained properly. To my knowledge the only other animal able to run as long as we do are dogs and wolves, and the only animal to run longer is a certain dog breed.
But Dogs can keep running for a very long time. They can use fat and proteins to slowly burn energy and use that energy for a long time. MinuteEarth talked about it
Wolves are better than humans at distance running. They can run about 70 km at a pretty good pace.
+klobberbot Well, wolves trot about 8 km per hour, but check out these ultramarathon times: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultramarathon
There are stories of wolves traveling 120 miles in day when hunted, but the human record for a day of running is 188 miles.
+NPR's Skunk You're comparing a highly trained, well conditioned athlete who is focused on a goal to a random wolf. Since there are no reliable records of wolf runs, let's use the next best thing, a sled dog. The Iditarod is a 1000 mile race done in less than 10 days. Those dogs are running 100+ miles a day, they're pulling a sled and they can only go as fast as the slowest dog in the group, which I guarantee is faster than the Olympic marathon pace. Point is, there is no way a man can keep up with a sled dog and it's not gonna get tired before the man does. From wikipedia: The VO2 max (aerobic capacity) of a typical Iditarod dog is about 240 milligrams of oxygen per kilogram of body weight, which is about three times that of a human Olympic marathon runner
+klobberbot Though I could point out that you started the wolf/human comparison :) sure - let's take sled dogs! I agree that they are probably humanity's most worthy competitor!! But, playing devil's advocate, I'd be curious if you could find a sled dog that has travelled more than 188 miles in a day. The current record holder for the Iditarod seemed to manage about 150 miles/day at most. His average speed was around 7 mph - and his fastest leg averaged 10.9 mph. The Olympic marathon pace you mentioned is more than 12 mph - close to 13.
I agree - a person probably couldn't keep up this pace and win the Iditarod (unless it was held in a warmer climate, where dogs would be at a disadvantage thermodynamically). It's still impressive to me that a 43-year-old guy name Dave Johnston did the first 350 miles of the race on foot in 4 days pulling 30 pounds (compared to the ~20 lbs per dog a sled team desals with).
Also - I'm glad you mentioned the focus necessary from the human athlete. I left that out of the video, but I think our brains are actually another major adaptation that makes us good long distance runners. We can motivate ourselves to keep going, and most importantly we can pace ourselves to conserve energy. Even if sled dogs and horses could keep to a race route without us, I suspect that without an experienced rider or musher, they would tire themselves by sprinting. And of course, without us, they would never have been bred to become the species they are, or trained up to racing shape in the first place.
In the end, I don't think the cool thing about this is that we are necessarily better than this or that animal - it's that this not-very-flashy physical ability we have tells us something about how we evolved.
+NPR's Skunk Bear For the record, I don't know the first thing about dog racing, but I did do some Googling - I couldn't find any evidence of sled dogs running a timed race at 26.2 miles, but I found times for the 40 mile splits of an 80 mile race, the 13th Wilderness Classic in Elkford, Canada. The winner finished leg one in 2 hours, 21 minutes and 41 seconds. The next day they completed the second leg even faster, in 02:18:40. That's a 3:30 pace for 40 miles! So we lose that one by about 15 miles.
As far as 188 miles in one day goes... The winner of the 2014 Bogus Creek 150 mile sled dog race finished in 17 hours, 54 minutes. About a 7:10 mile pace. I have no idea if that's even close to a good time by dog sled standards. It is by no means Olympic Marathon speed, but again we're talking about 5 and half times the distance. 188 miles in 24 hours comes out to a 7:40 pace, so I'm pretty confident in my assertion that the sled dogs beat us there too.
I'm not trying to diminish the impressive accomplishments of any of these endurance athletes. I'm just saying there is no way a man can defeat a sled dog in a race, unless, as you mentioned, it was under conditions of considerable heat. I stand by my original statement that a man can't beat a wolf either, but I have no way to prove that. A sled dog is probably about as close to a wolf as we're gonna get for the sake of this argument.
A special form of ultra marathon is a 24-hour run. Here, the participants have to run as far as possible within 24 hours. The male world record is 303.506 km (188 miles) and was set by Yiannis Kouros. 48 hour record is 294 mile Yiannis Kouros.
For some reason when I saw you start running I hoped you would talk while running for the whole video, and in a way, you did
If you wanted to test that theory a little better then you should have checked out managainsthorse.net/ it has just as long of a racing history but the race is over 50 miles and you start at the same time so it really does feel like your racing a horse.
There actually was a competition that went on for days until the horses started to succumb to fatigue, some actually died from overexertion, while humans were able to continue on. So, yeah, humans really are abnormal when it comes to endurance, but the experiment was just cruel
Did you know, Native Americans would do everything on foot before the Spanish would bring horses? Even one of the Spaniards who'd just seen an Apache for thr first time said, "These people have the greatest physique I've ever seen in my journeys." Without horses, the native Americans were extreamly fit people.
I find this slightly inaccurate, in the wild, hoses travel over 100 miles per day, without stopping, this is what has made them so unappealing to predators, along with their strong ability to defend themselves, human can run for a long time as well, but not at full speed like horses can. Being able to make tight turns is also something horses are able to accomplish, take barrel racing for example, a speed event where horse and rider must round a small barrel with tight precision cloverleaf pattern, the tighter the turn, the less time it takes.
wolves are marathoners to and can beat humans.humans cant beat everything
this isn't about weapons -_- there are animals that can beat humans at marathons when did i say weapons
Wolves like dogs can't sweat. They are made for longs-dostance running in cold areas. In hot areas they have a disadvantage to humans.
fred bitzaya humans can beat nothing
Depends on the weather. In northern climate wolves could beat us. Probably. I think there the training level would be reallyimportant. In hot climate. No, humans would run when wolves have collapsed from overheating.
Not just wolves, many other dogs aswell.
Really well done video! :)
Fun fact we wouldn't be able to even win in this because wolves are actually very good endurance runners and they are known to migrate a lot or just catch prey by tiring it by running for 30 km without getting tired so i don't i think we even stand a chance in this event.
Awesome video! Love your channel
This is B.S. I have bird dogs that can run for hours in heavy brush in the Appalachian mountains without rest---no human could even begin to do that. The cardiac output of a human pales to a dog breed bred for running. Dogs do not need to sweat to cool-they have other mechanisms. Wild animals may only rest or slow when they feel secure from their predator without the awareness they are not and to stay within a home area for a sense of security. Humans can use their intelligence, like other preadtors, to take advantage of this to sneak up on them.
A longer distance and the humans would win every time. The distance wasn't hardly long enough for the horse's endurance to catch up with them and they are faster sprinters so obviously they would win in shorter distances. We used horses in medieval times because they could turn grass into energy so we didn't have to eat extra food to run or walk everywhere, or we used them to carry heavy things. Humans are by _far_ better runners and probably often hunted animals like horses.
If human's whole thing is endurance, in order to properly give a fair shot to humans, they should have made the thing longer. Double or triple distance. Then I'm pretty sure you have a more even spread of horse vs huma winners instead of winners being mostly horses
To the rest of the world, MPH:28 is 45kph.
For anyone actually wondering, we are not the best long distance runners either. Sled dogs beat us by a landslide putting us in second place on this.
It should be noted however that the heating argument still holds. Sled dogs can run forever but only in cold climates
what if horses and humans competed in a really, really long completion? like for example, a 3000 mile thru hike of the Continental Divide Trail? I know humans are capable of doing 45+ miles daily the entire time, can horses do the same?
after 2 mins we dont know where the animals are. how can we chase them if we cant find them. ok if we chased them across an arid plain maybe...but in s forest no way!
That's why the skill of tracking is so important. Watch this video of a hunter actually chasing down his prey - he does lose it ... then finds it again! th-cam.com/video/826HMLoiE_o/w-d-xo.html
Sonny Singh well all humans originated in Africa. so before we had tools and just our legs the great plains of Africa was easy. By the time we got tools we were spreading out into other continents thanks to Pangaea
Yeah, it depends on the circumstances.
Are there hills? Is it more flat? Temperature? Rain? Distance?
A human won’t beat wolves in Yellowstone. Wolves have adaptations specifically for that. However, humans would murder everything in Africa because of the immense heat. All you’d need is one water bottle, which I think is fair because we should’ve able to use our intelligence.
"to avoid getting trampled, the humans start first" then we go to the pub and drink
You forgot one big thing, Humans have hands and could carry water to re hydrate while endurance hunting!
This channel is beautiful.
Do you heard about the Perigen Falcon Bird It’s can dive down to 369 mhp
wait wait wait....those horses have humans on them!
that's quite an unfair advantage for the humans.....how about making the humans carry a heavy load as well?
Hey I'm 13 yo 5"4 shortest in my year level and I'm also a really good runner. Hopefully I'll grow like u
If the race was longer, humans would always win
great vid, enjoyed it much
Brought a recliner to a forest road just for a 10 second scene.
Well to be honest HUMANS RUN FASTER THAN HORSES
'...the rest of the animal kingdom in most challenges...' Er, uh, no. We're larger than the overwhelming majority of other animals and more efficient at all or most actions then nearly every other animal. Also, the fact that a human can team up with other humans for complex missions or adapt engines to do things way more efficiently than animals can puts us far ahead categorically. There's nothing any animal could ever do that a squad of humans couldn't.
Horses wouldn't even know the value of an organized race if they didn't find themselves on human teams in them.
Did he forget the husky and malamute mix they're braid for running long distance and I'm pretty sure they can running a longer distance and we can
