    You handled that spook with Lady so calmly, it shows you know your horses and they know and trust you. It’s a beautiful relationship that takes lots of work, patience, persistence, love, and time. My horse flips out over goats if she can hear them but not see them. I guess she doesn’t like the sound they make 🤷‍♀️ And she is also terrified of mammoth mules. I think its the long ears lol.

    Learned to hitch up a team at age 10, to either the manure spreader, or to a hay wagon, and drive them. Nice team of Belgians, owned and used by the farmer who rented our farm to us. He used a tractor also, but preferred his team on hilly hay fields. They don't tip over like a tractor does.

    I always wore a wide brimmed hat tilted back, when spreading manure. The slinger or beater on our spreader had a tendancy wing a sticky clod or two forward. Before the hat I had been hit in the back of the head with odorous clumps. That always made my dad laugh.

    It was an uneven evener :) because bill didnt step back enough and you had to make up the difference pushing on the wiffel tree with your knee!
    We had horses for a long time, my old boy would jump in the back of a truck like a dog...in and out no ramp and still did when he was blind....communication was key and very effective.
    He died at 35 years old. We grew up together.
    I envy your life, great channel!!

  • @Peter-gi3re
    @Peter-gi3re 2 роки тому +33

    Jim, very impressed how accurate you are at backing the horses when connecting the pin for the manure spreader.
    I have a trailer for hauling ATVs and I need my backup camera to get it that good.
    Now, you don’t need a backup camera but you have to use verbal commands instead of having a steering wheel, brakes and an accelerator. That’s really impressive.
    Also, when you were backing up to connect to the round bale you are definitely in a tricky spot if the horses come back a bit hard or too far. You sure could get crushed with your own rig. You must have great confidence in your horses and your ability to get them to stop on a dime.

    Need to take in one more link on the near side of Lady, , I think. The bar is not even, and Lady's bar is not even. Whatever, its all about the links and how many to take in or let out.
    Sheep! Either offer to feed them for a few days at your place, or ask to put Lady and Bill in with them. She needs to live with them for a little while. Maybe she's really never seen sheep. And they smell funny.
    Worst shy I ever had was a camel, last thing one might expect to see just on the edge of Canberra, it was way away but the smell blew off it. They literally bolted, pack horse beside me, across a road and lucky no car, then pulled up blowing raspberries.
    Greetings from Australia. Great to see you all well and lively again. Must be nice to have Brenda at home all day.

    the farm I grew up on was a stop over point on the geese's way north every spring in April just outside of Sault Ste Marie, Canada. They would rest overnight in our fields (eating up all the new shoots of the coming pasture or hay crop but Dad refused to scare them off and was adamant that they were here long before we were and it was just a cost of business. around 10 am, they would begin to get excited and by 10:30 they were streaming skyward, circling and getting sorted out into their skeins of vee shaped streamers before heading out to the waters of Lake George or Huron. They would start trickling in around 5pm. they usually stayed for around 2 weeks, waiting for the northern lakes to clear of ice before heading on towards the Artic Circle. in the fall, on their way back, our farm was posted as no hunting and they would stop in again, though they didn't stay as long. When I married and left the farm I fell into a severe depression a few years later, that continued to worsen with each passing year. a chance spring visit to a park with a lot of geese coming in solve the reason for my depression. All my life, the geese had herald the arrival of spring and without them, spring never came. so thereafter, I'd take some lettuce scrapes and head off to a local lake and welcome the geese back. My heart still soars to see the vees overhead.

    I knew a farm family that sadly had their Dad get caught up in a manure spreader . He was by himself and spent hours stuck in that thing he had to use his pocket knife to cut off one of his arms. He ended up with no arms and his legs were badly messed up as well so it was a wheel chair for him after that. The spreader was not one pulled by horses but instead a tractor . I don't know it he tried fixing it while it was going or what . Still that was a terrible thing for anyone to have happen.
