Kanin
åka Samojederna med 4 renar, The number of harnessed reindeer depends on the purpose and season. One needs fewer reindeer during the winter, when the sledges move more lightly on the ice and snow cover. Usually, two reindeer are harnessed to a cargo sledge, two to seven to a lighter riding sledge for faster movement. (Chomič 2018: 157.9)

In Kanin the Samoyeds ride with four reindeer, the Samoyed women with four; in Bol'šaja zemlja the men ride with five (six to eight), the women with four reindeer. They usually use one black and one white reindeer harnessed next to each other. |
