Scott “Cowboy” Bollman
Kennel Manager & Returning Musher
Crazy sprint dogsled racer, realtor and Vermonter. Scott lives and breathes sled dogs. He has been interested in sled dogs since he was a little kid. He started raising Siberian Huskies at thirteen years old & partnered up with a friend to run his first race in 1984. Scott has been addicted ever since and has raced professional class races for over twenty years. Last year, MPSDK asked Scott to try the tour business. Although it is a bit different from racing, he is now living his dream of running sled dogs for a living. It doesn’t get any better than that!
