This message is from: Mark and Ann Restad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, i am another person interested in safe logging. We have a spruce bark beetle infestation killing off all the spruce, and we are taking ours down one by one as they show signs of it. We have a light fjord mare who is well trained to drive and a driving harness. We also have a drafty gelding who is not yet trained to drive. We have a home made sled-type log skidder and will have plenty of snow soon :( I would never want to compromise either of the horses by not using appropriate eqipment, but it would be hard for us to buy another harness right now. I would love to hear the opinion of those of you who have pulled logs as work. thank you. Ann Restad, homer AK
