NAMPA, Idaho (CBS2) — Saddle up for a wild ride as the Idaho Horse Park at the Ford Idaho Center transforms into a cowboy’s winter wonderland on Feb. 6 and 7 when Pro Ski Jor gallops into town, promising a weekend of high-speed winter fun.

The two-day event will see about 250 teams, including local athletes and those traveling from event to event, competing across all divisions.

We really accommodate all ages and ability levels.”…
