A full-time logger in the US, Brandt Ainsworth handles long-term hardwood management for several private forestry owners. He practises worst-first selective harvesting using teams he has raised and trained himself – a pair of Percheron draft horses and a yoke of Holstein-Limousin oxen.

‘Whether you’re a weekend horse-logger or a seasoned pro,’ says Brandt, ‘this programme has tips and ideas that will help you improve your efficiency and safety.’
