It was a bit alarming to find that the OED gives, as one definition of the word logger, from old English dialect, as ‘A heavy block of wood fastened to the leg of a horse to prevent it straying’
So it came as a bit of a relief to find that the modern British horse logger is simply one who uses horses for a wide range of forestry work.
I expect they are especially good on hillsides.
