Silver swan...you could visit a friend of mine near a place called Bromyard, near the Herefordshire border, who does lots of timber haulage with his cobs. He goes by the name of 'Crunchie', and you'll see his website if you google Crunchiescobs.

Hi AengusOg,

Thank you for that...will follow up during 'business hours' tomorrow.

You bet that's of interest. We live on edge of Darnaway forest and OH has permision to take fallen/dead stuff. EVERY time he takes the dogs for a walk he comes back dragging 2 long branches, then goes down to his stick shed to saw them up (we have 3 wood burners).

He'd be in his element if a pony could help!! And I'd get another neddy, yeeha! It would be a good start. Wish I still had my standard shetland then OH wouldn't be able to say 'when's she going to do something useful?'

Where abouts are you (approx)?

Ta v much. 

Not sure if this is aimed at me   I'm in Fife but the folk I know who log their ponies are Catriona and Dave Lackie in Lothian..  I'll pm you her contact details when I find them if it was me you were asking

Hi ellied,

I did indeed aim it at you. Have been thinking about working a horse for years but not made the connection between the vast free resource on our doorstep and getting a neddy to help.    I'd been thinking more horse/cart.  Don't want to hijack Rosemary's thread so please PM any more info.

Thank you.

Do you know, I was racking my brain for this name - how could I forget a chocolate bar? Nice website and he seems really good at what he does. I'd love to see him at work in the flesh though.

I'd also love to take Smokey on a walking tour, with all my stuff on his back. In theory anyway.
