I used to stand on a log when it was safe to do so. I probably rode the evener back out for another turn more than I rode logs. I could keep the trails clean surfing on it. Saves that errant branch slapping a horse on the butt.

Only had a horse pop out of a harness skidding logs on me 1x. My stallion felt a little pressure, squatted & popped the hame strap.

Tongs are nice. I used to use an arch I didn't need a tongue for on really long skids. Front end of the log would dig in a little to brake it a little.

All one can do with a pulling horse is work on easing into the load. Hard to overcome that hit it hard training.

I had an old wind broke puller yrs ago. Took him going over backward into the North Fork of the John Day to learn to ease into stuff. SOB broke a perfectly good pack box doing it too.


Leave trees are marked for a reason. This does not include pivoting your turn off them. That leaves a mark that will not buff out.
