Awesome, I'm itching to have a got at some forestry horse work, though have no experience, does anyone know of a good place to start? and over here in the sweden they have nordsvensk häst which is a nice breed and looks perfect for forestry work.

Is that the Swedish one that Marcus Vanstone and that John Bunce used to use?

SJM, not sure if thats the same as theirs. Someone did tell me, that Marcus Vanstones weighed far too much unladen. Mine can be pushed around on the level no problem. Mine has they advantage of being able to connect to a 50mm tow hitch so can be pulled by anything suitable.

Thanks, I've passed your details on but I think he is after somebody local

 

You'll struggle to find someone local. Try Caple Manor they had some logging horses stabled there last year.

Wow - the strength of that beast must be immense. Incredible musculature.

 

Merry Xmas.
