In my recent study on this I'm finding much praise for riding mammoth donkeys, oddly enough, the classification of the largest donkeys. Mules receive much praise online as well. Sounds like some of the best riding one could have would be a mammoth jack crossed with Peruvian Paso mare.

I have no doubt one could get hurt working with horses on this stuff. The vid I posted above hints at what could happen. OTOH, I'm wondering if clear-cutting will be less and less viable in days ahead. I've read of 3rd clear cuts not growing back well. The thinning thing sounds more viable.
