Anna Stephan, Champion Musher, Winner of The Junior Iditarod, 2019 talks to Suzy Davies, Author of “The Girl in The Red Cape: A Mystical Sled Ride” Coming to Amazon Soon!
Who or what first inspired you to be a musher?
My father was a musher back in the day. When my sister and I were 7, he bought us our first sled dogs from a kennel in Anchorage.
How did you feel when you won The Junior Iditarod?
I was super-excited, and very proud of the dogs.
Which sled dog is your favorite, and why?
That’s a hard decision, they are all so special. If I had to choose one, it would probably be Sky. I raised her from a pup and she is one of my best lead dogs.
What advice would you give to a would-be musher?
It’s all about the dogs. Take good care of them, and they will take care of you.
Have you ever met a wild animal on the trail? What happened?
Yes, a moose attacked us on the trail once. It was very scary. The moose ran up to the team and stomped at a few of the dogs. We were very lucky no one got hurt.
Who is your closest musher friend? How did you meet him or her?
Probably our neighbour The Redingtons; my father raced dogs with them when he was younger.
Friendships in the mushing community are important. How do you keep these friendships when you compete with each other?
It's not hard. Everyone is helpful and supportive of one another.
Do you listen to music when you are dog sledding?
Yes, usually on long training runs.
I've heard you play the violin? What's your favorite piece to play?
I don’t really have a favorite, but I do play a lot of hymns.
What are your dreams and wishes for your future?
I think I’d like to be a teacher.
What is your favorite place in Alaska, and why?
I really like Hatcher's Pass. They have some great hiking trails there, and it’s a good place to snowboard in the winter.
