Horse Logging Training in Essex - 10th/11th October 2014

Hi All,

I am going to run another 2-day Horse Logging course at Norsey Wood SSSI in October. Suitable for an aspiring horse-logger, a contractor who would like to find out what horses are capable of, or anyone who might simply want a fun and interesting couple of days in one of Essex's finest woodlands.

Initially you will learn about harness and harness fitting and have a chance to harness the horse for work. You will then be introduced to long-reining, and then observe different types of extraction methods. Finally you will be able to have a go at extracting timber for yourself using a variety of methods, and learn which application is best for different scenarios. During the Course you will experience:

• Preparing and harnessing heavy horses for work.
  
• Long-Gears extraction (swingletree and chains)
  
• Timber Arch extraction
  
• Use of forwarding trailer for extracting timber

Please ask if you have any questions!
