Horse logging

Horse logging is the use of horses or mules in forestry. Horses may be used for skidding and other tasks. Because of their maneuverability, horses can efficiently extract select trees from a forest without damaging nearby young growth or the usual roadbuilding required to accommodate powered vehicles. Even today, using horses for small-scale logging can be more efficient, especially on smaller privately held forest parcels.
