Horse Logging with Brumby




Brumby named for his resemblance to the Australian feral horse,  is a 12 year old traditional Belgian work horse owned by Marc Farrow of Holland, Vermont. Mark has been working in our woods for several weeks with Brumby by his side, ready to pull down trees, or haul them through the woods.Brumby stands still in the woods as Marc moves around him with a chain saw or small excavator. At the end of the day, Marc rides Brumby as John carries the logs from the woods to the driveway where Marc will load them onto his trailer to take to market.
