Horse Logging
We do not just use heavy machines for our forestry extraction work. With our very own heavy horse and close working relationships with other horse logging contractors, we are one of the few companies able to offer this extremely low impact method of forestry.
Ideal for wet sites, SSSI’s and areas in which more conventional forestry equipment would not be suitable, our experienced horse loggers come into their own, causing less damage to the ground, being able to access tighter areas and carry out more sensitive forestry operations.
