Horse logging

[cousin jack]

A few pics, forwarder was imported from Finland, weighs 1.5 ton, laden gross weight 6.5 ton, it has a drive axle to help horses start it and going uphill. Timber stack will be forwarded by conventional forwarder as and when needed.

Is it a nice lifestyle?

Do you know what breed of horse it is in that picture, or what breeds are best?

 

My missus has about 48 (i think) at the mo, and is always changing and buying/ selling. I would be up for a tool like that.

Looks a Suffolk Punch to me, compact and powerful my family used them on the canals.

It's not romantic, winter is mud and rain, summer is flies and rain, but it is a way of life, and it's hard to make a living

They are Ardennes, pound for pound the best logging horses you can get!
