"Mushers"
people who control dog sleds are called "mushers"
The term is often used for people who guide a dog sled.
"Mushing" refers to driving over snow with a dog sled. One or more dogs pull the sled, with the "musher," the person standing on the sled, on board. The word "mush" comes from the French "marchons" or "marche" meaning, "let's go" or "go."* http://people.howstuffworks.com/musher.htm
The mushers have baskets that carry the gear on the Iditarod Trail. These baskets are used to let the dogs rest while on break.
The musher guided his sled dogs through the snowy terrain with skill and determination.
They freeze to death once they're stranded by not having any dogs to pull their sled any more.

In sled dog races, drugs are not allowed that would improve the strength or endurance of a dog. Other drugs, such as some antibiotics, may be restricted as well.
No. Only one musher and 16 dogs are allowed to run the 1,161 miles. No replacements if a dog get injured either.
