With a careful step, a gee, a haw, and a whoa, a man and his horses get the job done. Great video. Very serene and peaceful.

My grandfather had a logging camp in northern Maine. Mom said 80 men, 80 horses. I was only 5 and only visited a few times. Our neighbor in southern Maine hauled pulp and let me drive his single Belgian Mike down to his woodlot every week. He’d let me off and I’ d meet him an hour later to drive back to the main road with his load of pulpwood. The cold weather, smell of fresh cut wood and sweat off Mike made a lasting impression on my memory 60 years later. Your team and your intuition on how to bring the logs out is so impressive. You’re all so good together!

Wow! Fantastic video. It put me right there with you and the horses. I “felt” the environment. Quite with the snow. The sounds of the horses, the rigging, the chains and your commands. How the animals obeyed your commands. And best of all how powerful the horses are. Thanks for that. A bit of history brought to life.

There is a lot to be said about the amount of trust your horses have that you will not put them in a bad situation and get them hurt. I have always believed that a large portion of training has to do with making friends with your animals an building the trust between you and them. Another great video and thanks for sharing with us.

I don't think most people understand the SKILL it takes to guide a couple of horses, hitched to a cart, hauling a gigantic tree! I am so impressed because your path is SO narrow and curves! So MANY obstacles! DANGEROUS! You and your team are fantastic, Jim!

Many studies such as the blanket study suggest horses are up there with dolphins and whales in terms of intelligence. We simply dont study them enough. The white Shire mare on my video has surprised me several times already. She has even corrected another herd member that did not obey me correctly. She can tell horse trailer from other closed trailers of same size. Even trailers she's never seen before. So yes, we have A LOT left to study about them.

My dad grew up in Quebec and his family were loggers on really big operations. He knew these men and worked with them. He said they were the toughest meanest men he had ever seen. When they were given the news that they would be using machines in stead of horses every one of those mean, tough men cried. I think the switch took place in a week and everyday they cried

I had horses as a kid, we had riding horses, My grandpa when he had his saw mill had Percherons as a team, I think that he had 3 teams, but as all the boys left the homestead he sold the sawmill and horses and moved to a small town, called Ephrata, Washington , he bought a house and lived there until he passed away

Reminded me of that 33"pine, great cradle hitch, it rides up high. Not high enough to hop that big dead fall though, that was a good sized hurdle, nice to see that cant hook used as I just mounted handles on 2 peaveys, one is the old ring style and one is the pike peavey style, I look forward to using them more as I worked my whole life without them, now I have 2. I have a pickarune but mostly I have just used my ax and feet but those days are over. As my strength not what it used to be, relying more on tools and Man that is a big log , they pull it nicely and make it look easy. Thanks for recording the cant hook work also. (Those big tires hop over that stump nicely..) Carry On.., 'step up'

Very interesting watching the horses work. My dad started working in the woods in North Idaho about 1923, first as a helper in the lumber camp and later he bought a Model T Ford and added a rack to haul logs. With the trailer he could haul 12 foot logs till they got high enough to clear the cab and then he hauled 16 foot logs. All the part in the woods was done by horses including loading the truck as they did not use stakes on the trucks then, just chains to hold the logs on the truck and trailer.

Jim you are working the camera beautifully grabbing all the different trial shots. 1set of scene shots took about 4 different spots. The horses must be familiar with your stop and starting all the time. Anyway you certainly captured the the trail scene very well. I hope viewers can see the extra yards and extra time you put into your videos. Actually as I remember in my early days going out bush to cut down trees to split into fence post we had to clear the bush away to get to trees because there was no tractor or dozer to clear a track to the trees. You video took me back to those days instantly. Where hard yards too! Cheers for a great video. The only difference is you have snow but we don’t have snow in winter

U would have thought they were a t horse pull. I felt sorry for them when log jammed in wheel . Anyways thanks for now
