We offer a full range of timber extraction services using heavy horses - from coppice to large butt oak and including conventional softwood extraction.

Using horses rather than machines offers a wide range of advantages including -

• Lower carbon footprint - horses are effectively carbon neutral
• Lower cost in getting horses to site
• Horses can get to places where machines cannot, especially in wet ground and conditions
• Minimal disturbance of flaura and fauna
• Horses are lighter than most machines and cause no ground compaction
• More selective thinning is possible - resulting in more subtle and effective long-term woodland management
• Especially good for conservation work
• Much more efficient on short extraction work
• Can be combined with machinery. e.g. using a horse to drag logs to a ride where they can be collected or processed by machines

We can move up to 3 tons of timber in a single drag and average 8 - 10 tons a day.
