Giant Shire horses used to tackle overgrown woodland in New Forest because it's too difficult for a machine to do
Horses weigh one ton and are capable of shifting timber the same weight as a double-decker bus in just one day

Visitors to the New Forest might be forgiven for doing a double-take when they see what 'machines' are being used to work the land these days.

They have been employed to work in areas that are deemed too dense and boggy for modern, heavy machinery.
