Working with Horses in the Woods

Here we see Kate Mobbs-Morgan and her Ardennes horse Kipp at The Royal Bath & West Show, demonstrating their low impact timber extraction work. Kate explains how this method is particularly suited to wet, steep, small or environmentally sensitive or significant sites, where mechanical extraction might prove either impossible or unwelcome. Their emotional connection and extraordinary working relationship is clear as Kipp responds positively to Kate`s gentle voice and rope commands, to carry out the task efficiently and with enormous skill and strength.

I’m a climber... had a mate did some snigging with Walter Lloyd and Bill Arey in the S Lakes back in the late 80s... one of his shackles broke so I volunteered a climbing carabiner to replace it (22kn or 2.2tonne specification)... The horse, snigging out, leant in and it just melted like butter! Something else, these horses. Brilliant!
