These horse logging videos are fascinating. Seems the best compromise between efficiency and environmental concern. No massive loaders or trucks to compact the soil and tear it up, but still able to do a lot of work.
Im so happy thease men could of made life easier bying machinery and they dident staying with horses payed off now they have a great place to log for life awsome collage called them for the horses
My great uncle lived in Missouri. He owned about 20 wooded acres on his farm that he heated his house out of for nearly 50 years. He had a 2 enormous mules that he used to bring the logs out and load them on a wagon. Sometimes, family or neighbors would get together and do it. He did not replant the trees. They just grew back naturally. That's the way country life was back then.
Aw this is so beautiful! We have a ride and drive draft horse Fat Madge and she is just the most wonderful girl ever! We often have her in our videos on our channel 🐴
Would help if you used an arch to pull those logs out instead of dragging them flat. Keeps the logs from getting caught as easy and makes it easier to pull them out.

Joe, I really love your channel, but please, please, please get yourself a stabilized camera holder. The vibration is jarring.
the only way for me
The challenge is going to be how to utilizing a lower value log thereby leaving the healthier trees on the stump.
Is that a butternut or walnut he felled there?
What breed of horses are those?
I believe they are American Suffolks.
