Welcome Steve. We’ve been finding this site to be a good meeting space for horse-loggers (as well as others). Great to have you on board.

Welcome to the Draft Animal Power board Steve…….

Do you know a fellow named Troy Firth from Titusville, Pa.?

I think Ira Greene is on this board too and he logs up in NW Pa.

I hear you on living to work your horses, you have found a good site with that common value among many members.

Please tell us about your horse logging operation.

Hey thanks Jason!! The name kind of rings a bell, I have talked to Ira on Rural Heritage front porch, I’m a good two hours south east of Erie Pa., I’m on the south side of the largest tract of undeveloped/ state land in Pa., beautiful country… I log private land, alot of select cut, and thinning.. I work another job april, til winter kicks in, and I’m off most of the winter, so I get into the logging real heavy in the winter, and when I’m working my other job I cut on weeknights after work, and skid a load on the weekend… I have three Percheron’s, a pair of black geldings, and a grey mare, all 17.3 – 18hh range, close to 2,100lbs… I use a skid cart to forward big stuff, but I also ground skid alot, I find myself using natural skid trails alot and I can get around better sometimes without the extra length of a cart… Hey, I sold a black gelding to a show hitch last december, and bought a black gelding from a friend of yours in north western Nc., Scotty Greene, very nice people!! Looking forward to the winters work, and chatting on here.. Steve
