  • is there a possibility of putting a skidding cone or sled on the logs so the horse wouldn't be stopped by stumps? seems like a lot of wasted time and pain for the horse, being suddenly stopped like that.

  • @flamedrag18 normally what we do is cut down the stumps with a saw so they aren't in the way any more. but once in a while they still seem to get hung up .

  • Fired up a "heavy Horses" Facebook page and would love to see you there. Linked to this great video and that Belgian is gorgeous BTW.

    Come one over ...

    search Facebook for the name Heavy Horses

    (because it won;t let me paste the link here)

  • I tried to search for heavy horses but all they gave me was a page for musicians and the singing group Heavy Horses lol anything else I can try?? any other key words??

  • the horse handler could do with a bit more experience allowing the horse to be brought to a sudden stop,@ 0.19,is very poor handling and or lacking the appropriate gear . try using a skidding grapple which will allow the butt to ride over stumps

  • Ocassionally the horses hit a stump or two but that is rare. The horses are pretty adapt at following the trail themselves. We don't usually drive the horses when they are on their way out of the bush. We find it easier and the horses then have the freedom to move at their own speed.

  • J'aime beaucoup ce video, le cheval travaille tout seul, c'est merveilleux! Cela dénote que vous êtes un excellent dresseur.

  • Anyone else feel like they're being bitten by a mosquito?

  • Wow...you can totally tell these horses are digging this work. They all look happy and healthy!

  • thats a good horse to work see how nice he put that log in the pile

  • That is so awesome, I almost can't stand it. I've got a team of small horses but videos like this inspire me to do even more. Thanks for posting.

  • There it worked! sorry 'bout the spelling - meant to say "Trying to post"

    Anyway - if you're careful to get rid of every space the link will get you there anyone reading here. Now GIDDYUP!
