I admire how a 160 pound man is controlling a 1200 pound horse with a rope that wouldn't hold a dog. Well cared for horses being kept healthy with hard work that doesn't over work them. :)

Yeah.. the horses and all the animals in the wild are just wasting their time, are bored, loose, trying to burn their energy in vain instead of getting a real job.

@@michaldevetsedm1882 you missed the point of my comment. What would you have these horses do?

@@michaelmayfield4304 agree. The guy’s an idiot

+Kelly Widrick Yea because you see so many wild horses loading up heavy objects and dragging them around. So I guess the horse should thank them for making them do this. In the wild guess what horses do, they walk around, eat, occasionally run and males herd up and try and keep their females together while keep other stallions away which is a males main activity. With females raising young as theirs. Yes those horses have been bred over time to work like that for man but that doesn't automatically mean they like doing it. It means their ancestors were singled out to be bred because they were a little stronger and/or bigger than most others and doing that each generation has led to the horse you see. Being bred to do something does not mean you like doing it.

+jamesonsix19 these horses are domesticated. Dogs are domesticated too and dogs love to do the job they are bred to do. You clearly know jack shit about horses and animals.

@@jerredlong1023 Never saw a horse close by?

+alexis hawkhand Yes, the horse looks fine. But ears aren't the only indicator, it's called body language for a reason. Ears are mostly an indicator of the direction of focus, not always mood.

TurkeyBurglar Jones obviously

alexis hawkhand Then why did you comment that?

+alexis hawkhand Had to chuckle as the word I kept hearing the most from these loggers was "Whoa!Whoa!" so yeah, I'd think the horses were doing fine. :D

Yes they understand both languages. Granddad had 6 of them in Belgium. He would whistle and the leader would go back to the barn and all the rest of them would follow. They liked to frolic out in the field . Very good natured and gentle.

You have no idea where industrial machines can go and how they log. I recommend you do a search on KZfaq and you will be amazed. That said, there is nothing more beautiful in an animal doing what it was bred to do

Partly true. I'm a skidder operator in the woods of Northwestern CA and yes we do clear alot of trees out of the way to make a skid trails in selective cutting areas. But I know from lots of experience that usually skid trails are cut to where you are mostly taking the trees that are going to be cut anyway and strategically placing the trail accordingly, thereby avoiding cutting trees that are designated as "leave" trees. Sometimes we do take trees that were intended to be leave trees if absolutely necessary, but that usually stays at an absolute minimum due to strict regulations, contract specifications etc. Most loggers I know don't really like clearcuts for obvious reasons, but you are right that it makes our job of moving logs far easier. But most of the work I have ever done is selective logging. Here in parts of Northern CA, landowners can be really picky about skinned up trees and minimizing damage to "leave" trees as much as possible. I've heard of guys getting fired for skinning up too many trees and driving through groves of small trees, etc. Where I'm at now they aren't so picky, but believe me they don't want us going out there and just tearing up the woods, they don't let you do that anymore. With all that said, it really isn't a problem navigating through the forest once you have experience cutting and skidding. That teaches you how to plan skid trail layout and then you can go into a given area and assess it briefly and plan accordingly. But I am not discrediting what you said at all, just pointing some things out I know from experience.

@First Impression Actually, they are. The tails look trimmed, not docked. Neither one was overloaded. They were given a break at the end with a feed bag. And aside from the one tripping onto its knees, they were incredibly sure-footed; trained that way through lots of patience.

Thanks for the interesting info ^_^

@@DatDapperBoi iDHLdo

What is docked?

@@iloveamerica8541 the tail being cut off usually by a vet but in some countries it can be done by the breeder

The log is the brake. Think of the friction on 20+ feet of log grinding along deep forest litter with a million stumps, branches, and uneven ground to catch on. They don't slide downhill at all, they just pull easier. Anytime you stop the horse even on steep downgrades the butt of the log digs in. When the horse pulls, the tension and higher attachment point raise the butt of the log just a bit which allows it to move. My family has continuously used skid horses for over 100 years in upstate NY. I started at 12 so I've only been doing it for 30 years myself

I was wondering about that too. You stated the question much better than I could have. Thanks!

Lilly Dragon oh yeah people generally use horses to get into and work in places inaccessible to machinery and/or vehicles. Plus they’re great for the environment they damage the land far less.

They can drop some about same size too😂

Le respect de l'animal est la clef de la réussite. Merci pour votre compliment
