I have just created a short (6 minute) video of horse logging at The Farm
School in Orange, Mass. (http://www.farmschool.org/) The Farm has its own
team of work horses and they invited some other teams for this day long
demonstration.

The video is on YouTube at: http://youtu.be/34dH53R0eqI. By default it comes
up in low res (360p). If you have a medium fast internet speed you can
switch the res to 480p and if you have a very fast connection you can watch
it in high definition (720p). If you try watching in 720p and it's jerky you
can pause the video to allow it to download for a few minutes or all of it
then start it up again and you should be able to watch it with no further
pauses. It is of course much clearer in the higher resolutions.

It's also on Vimeo but only in 720p high definition:
http://vimeo.com/33488034. On Vimeo it's possible to download the entire
video to a file then watch it offline (282 MB).

PS: I intend to make a lot of videos this year.

Nice video. Do you know of anyone doing ox team logging? It was interesting
for me to find out that here in Oregon, ox teams were the preferred way of
logging.

no ox team loggers here for centuries- few horse loggers either- I think
it's just farmers in northern New England, few if any commercial horse
loggers- but it was fun watching it- one of the guys, on the back of his
sled, had a sign that said, "oil is over"- when it really is, guys like that
will keep us in food and fiber...
