In today's video we go over some of the training involved in teaching our new 2 year old horse the very basics of pulling to prepare him for logging. Because he is still growing, we started with some ground driving exercises and only pulled a few logs before deciding to lay off until he is grown . Being that he has a lot of important growing left to do, we quit while we were ahead, however we also included some B-Roll of Hilde and Babe doing some pulling over the summer.

Feel free to ask us some questions in the comments, we do our best to get back!

We also discuss Hugo's hernia and our intentions to have it surgically repaired while he is young and before it ever becomes a problem. As soon as our funds are sufficient, we will schedule the surgery. Support our efforts and Hugo's surgery by heading to https://ruggedridgeforest.com/ and purchasing some Wood-Fired, Organic Maple Syrup for yourself.


We appreciate the support and look forward to sweetening your flapjacks!
