mushing
Mushing is a term for a sport or transport method powered by dogs. It includes carting, pulka, scootering, sled dog racing, skijoring, freighting, and weight pulling. More specifically, it implies the use of one or more dogs to pull a sled on snow or a rig on dry land.
==Origin of the term==
France was the first European power established in the Canadian Shield; accordingly, the coureurs des bois and the voyageurs of New France used the French word "''Marche!''", meaning "go" or "run", to command to the team to commence pulling. "''Marche!''" became "''Mush!''" for English Canadians.〔''Discovering Denali: A Complete Reference Guide to Denali National Park and Mount McKinley, Alaska'' - Dow Scoggins - iUniverse - 2004 - ISBN 0595750583, 9780595750580 - p. 137 - ''Mush : This term is a misuse of the French word "marche" ("to go"). Dog mushers heard the French Canadian trappers using the word marche to make their dogs run. They interpreted it as "mush".''〕 "Mush!" is rarely used in modern parlance, however; "Hike!" is more common in English.
