These four horses pulled this 31,480 foot load for a mile. The estimated weight of the sled and chains was 5 tons! I knew my horse didn’t work very hard, but really, those four horses just don’t look that big. (Anne River Logging Company)

Wow. How unfair is that? They don’t look all that big or all that well fed either. Hopefully it was downhill…
Yeah, Jane has a point. Hopefully it was downhill – they look little.
They don’t look very heavy, but look at their height compared to the men standing around. Those aren’t short horses! Also, its a sled. Hopefully that means their load met little resistance as they pulled it (hopefully downhill).
Thanks for sharing!
