Lure coursing.....What the heck is that?

And what is this outfit for?

This borzoi is wearing a lure coursing vest.  These vests typically come in 3 colors; yellow, blue and pink.  They are worn so the judge can see from a distance which dog is doing what in the competition.  

What is lure coursing, you may ask? 

Lure coursing is a competition in which dogs chase an artificial lure across a field, following a pattern that is meant to simulate chasing prey. Sighthounds are especially noted for their skill at lure coursing since it is instinctual to the group. 

Watch this video for an idea of what lure coursing is. Judging by this video, it looks like the dogs have alot of fun.
