Mickey visits logger Dehan Courtney in Mercer, Pennsylvania to see logging with horses in action. Courtney is a ecological lumberjack typically running a sled of two to three Brabant Belguim draft horses doing select cuts for discerning property owners. This technique offers many benefits over clear cutting forests in conventional harvesting methods.

Dehan Courtney's Pennsylvania farm is about two hundred years old. In addition to tree services, Dehan and his wife breed Brabant and Gypsy horses. To learn more visit https://akhgypsies.wixsite.com/mysite and their YouTube Channel@loggingwithhorses .
