Even 'snaking' home a solitary log for the family hearth is useful. Here a Vermont farmer, 

 in the north east of the United States, fills in the idle winter days by cleaning up windfalls 

 from his land. The horse he uses for his farm chores is primarily of the native Vermont breed 

 known as the Morgan. Short and stocky, about 14 hands, and 1,000 lbs in weight, the 

 Morgan is an exceptionally strong work horse. 



Maple syrup is a useful sideline for Vermont farmers and here a team of Morgans hauls the 

 maple-sap to the farm sugarhouse for processing.
