    We are now settled in on our new farm so im starting to look for another horse. I have a few small logging jobs this winter and I would like to learn the ropes with a single horse. Farm work isnt demanding in the summer so the horse will be mostly for chores and recreation during the summer months.
    I have a couple local options but I thought I would try here to see what is available. Im looking for a “full size” draft but breed doesnt matter to me. I dont mind having to retrain, I am just looking for a calm steady disposition.
    If anyone has any leads let me know.

    Ok good for you. I saw that your post was from October, but thought I’d ask. I just have a team, but one of them really is better as a single logging horse. I’ve used him for a few years and managed ok with row crops. In the woods though his path doesn’t need to be quite as precise. He’s the kind of horse that would go right to a butcher shop if I took him to an auction. 19-20 years old with Sweeney and bad teeth! He’s been good to me So I’ll hang on to him until he dies or I find a special home for him.
