Welcome Newbie!
I have a Morgan/Percheron cross, a fantastic little mare that rides and drives too. I second Jared’s thoughts, a hitch with a pin or hook are safe and very fast to change. Here is a photo of a little sled that we have. The chains attach underneath on both sides and meet at a hook in the middle. My single tree has a ring on it and easily slips onto the hook. The biggest thing to watch out for with a hook is to make sure it doesn’t slip off. I ask my mare to take a step and take the slack out before I ask her to move the load. This gives me a chance to see that the ring and hook are in the right place and prevents her from slamming into the load with her shoulders.
Have fun with your logging, we have some firewood to fetch ourselves.
