Horse Loggers

Heavy horses have been used in Forestry and Woodland Management for centuries, and they have an important role to play in sustainable woodland management today.

Horses
  • minmise ground compaction
  • minimise disturbance to flora and fauna
  • can get to places that machines can't access
  • can work on ground that is too wet for machinery
  • are slighter than most equivalent machines
  • enable more selective thinning and so more subtle long-term woodland management
