Libby Riddles
by Sheneater
Libby Riddles moved to Alaska when she was 17, and became the first
woman to win the
Iditarod ® Sled Dog Race in 1985. With her partner Joe Garnie she
bred and raised sled dogs. Joe and Libby took turns racing their
dogs with Joe finishing third in 1984, Libby winning in 1985, and Joe finishing
second in 1986. Libby mushed her dogs through terrible weather to
win in 1985.
