Two heavy horses have been brought to the gardens of Cotehele House near Saltash to help with tree felling operations. Lumberjack Barney Guy says horses William and Beano provide an eco-friendly alternative to machinery which would damage woodland trails. The horses can also reach areas which would not be accessible using heavy plant.
