Nathan this is an...OUTSTANDING video....Thank you so very much......When l was a boy back in the late 1950's l went with my Dad for him to buy logs for his sawmill and seeing horse's pulling logs.....What a great big deal it was for me....!

@itatane 2 года назад

I absolutely loved the video, Nathan! My late granddad was a sawyer in Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania from 1936 to 1984. Even though they had automobiles, they were still using horse teams into the 60s. He had a reputation for leaving an area better than he found it. (He had definite views about people tearing up the woods with no care for the future.)

@GoingBrogue 2 года назад

This is definitely worth an in-depth video! I would imagine the loggers have been using horses for many generations and that’s a cool history to explore and those are stories worth telling. :)

@barrystrachan6340 2 года назад

Thanks for this one Nathan, it really took me back. When my dad was alive and working his homestead, this is how we did our logging. We didn't have that cool skidding cart though. I used to have to walk all the loads out to the landing with the horses. Sometimes I would cheat and hop on the logs and drive the horses from there. It was a great way to log, the horses didn't tear up the bush the way mechanized equipment did.

My Dad and Grampa used to log in E. Canada with a huge mare. She knew her job so well you could hook her up and she would bring them where they were going alone. Only needed an unhook at delivery. The horse would also jump on to the back of a flatbed in the morning without needing loading/unloading!

Fantastic video. My grandfather farmed with "John" and "Joe", two draft horses. It was in the late 40's but I still have memories of riding the horses back to the barn after field work. I was about 5 or 6 years old. My grandfather who was probably my age now sold the horses and bought his first powered farm machine, a Ford tractor. I still remember him running through a gate with the tractor forgetting how to engage the clutch. He did figure it out but a little late.

Logging the forest with horses sure doesn’t make a big mess like modern log skidders do. I grew up in south central Missouri and there’s a guy that used to log with horses down there. He said the horses would decide when quitting time was. They would stop working and then he knew it was time to go home. The guy that owned them said the horses were smarter than him when it came to working in the forest. 😀

Ashtabula County here. I was blessed to grow up in the very end of horse farming in the 80s. Happily, more Yankees are doing small farming and using horses as well. It's nice to see simple "old fashioned" practices combined with modern knowledge. My dad used cob type ponies, especially useful for fertilizing the garden as you plow it.

I grew up skidding logs with mules. Started when I was about 10 years old in the 1960s. I really miss those days. Never met a mule I did not enjoy working with. Worked a draft mare named Bird one summer. She was a joy to skid logs with. Great to see someone skidding logs today with horses. We used skidding tongs connected to a single tree; no log cart.

Nathan, Rance here, I really enjoyed seeing horse logging an old time art very, very nice! Thank the good lord he has blessed you with a modern WoodMizer super 70 to make short work of these classic American logs. Your beard goes right along with this video

Fascinating! Such beautiful horses. It's good to see that the old ways are not forgotten. It would be a dangerous challenge to attempt a tractor haul on those hills. Thanks for the video Nathan.
