Two men, two horses and a day to do it.

I wanted to do this job in a day so we wouldnt have to truck the horses again. 93 logs,(I think, lost track a few times counting) don't know how many trees. I just put them down, marked the logs out for the skid guy, topped them and moved on before the horses ran me over. Took us 7 hours and 10 minutes. And we pulled out a few poles for firewood as well. A lot of fun, good day logging.

The best side benefit to logging. (Besides having an excuse to always smell like 2 cycle exhaust and horses.)

The twitch trail, not bad at all. Back drag it with a tractor blade or bucket and a little seed and you done.

That's something to be proud of!

Got any pictures of your horses? Harnessed up?

Looks nice. What are the logs going to be used for?

Some are grade logs that will go for lumber, some are tie logs, some will end up as blocking for pallet shops.

Are you using an arch?

Sure is nice you have lots of room to deck. One time a trucker told me it took him 15 min to move while it may take longer to deck with a team. He didn't mind moving, I didn't mind not making art.

logging with horses

Looking forward to the horse pics! Are they draft types or? The original Morgans (very small but powerful) were good at clearing rocks & timber.
