- Today@Working Horses With Jim, we haul in a couple loads of firewood and get to watch our Amish neighbors new house going up.At the end of the video I will show you my stove and a different way that I sometimes split my wood.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week.

old horse jam when your neighbor stop for your team to go by...lol
😀
You can see how much they want to dig in! That stuttering step, head down, and every muscle engaged. The luckiest horses ever, to be able to carry out their God given purpose. That synchronized backing up looked like a dance.
Thanks for watching Suzannemomma!
The big babies love their curry don't they? So relaxing.
That is quite the furnace.
I would love to have a thumb on my excavator, but to add one on my old machine, I would have to change the bottom arm because I would also want to add a quick change for the buckets. That is the joy of owning older machinery.
wow..this popped up this mornin..5/6/24.....says it was 3 yrs ago..I enjoyed it. lov from south alabama.
I like all your videos because it's a lost way of doing things.
Thanks
I think it's amazing how
These two horses are almost
Step for step with each other
i sometime thank the horses look at each other when you ask them to do something to see if the other is going to do what you ask
Back in the late 60s'. I used to help my Grandfather with his pulling horses. He used to plant between 150-200 acres of field corn with a two row McCormick planter. I was the "water Boy". I would walk them down the creek and back. I was 8 years old at that time. Winter time came around and we would hook the BobSled and pull hay out to the cattle. End of spring we would start looking to skidding logs. I will NEVER forget those times. I still like to see a good team of horses working together. Love your videos.
Good memories! Thanks for watching!
Video was crystal clear 👀👌
Jim you got some great video it is different and it is fun to watch.
If you give it some time I think it will grow. Best to you and the
Missus and God bless.
Thanks for the encouragement! Best to you and yours as well!
This video showed up in my recommendations...
Very interesting... That's the way to live...Bravo!
What a pair of horses backing in step! My Goodness!
That is so nice to see how well our horses back up. Step to Step as one.. Wow.. Please let Miss Brenda that her window washing is the best and thanks for shareing.
Thanks Ronald 👍🏻
I do hope, Jim and Brenda, that you get some kind of reward for sharing your life with us. It takes extra work and effort to do that. And for us it is really interesting. I like the piles of firewood you have, I am heating our farmhouse also solely with wood and I know how much work all that is.
Thanks, we enjoy doing it
Looks so peaceful, makes me wish things would never change , great video
Love the wood setup. That is just how I want my wood setup to be. My father and I log, cut firewood, and have a sawmill. I will always have access to lots of wood.
GOD BLESS!!
I love how the horses turn and stare. Is that Brenda they staring at or just the camera?
I enjoyed the view of the horses from the hitch because I got a good look at the differences between the way Lady pulls and the way Bill pulls. I could really see what you were saying about Lady puts more effort in whereas Bill is a bit lazy. Too funny. She doesn't seem to mind. And where you demonstrated how you adjust their harnesses to compensate the pull so Lady isn't pulling the load by herself. Although she looks like she is more than willing to do that if she has to. She is quite the spirit. Looks like she is doing well after having her mouth fixed.
Yes she is doing well, thanks for watching
Ухаживаете за лошадьми как за дорогой машиной!!!👍👍👍
They enjoy getting dirty , but most of all they enjoy you spending the time to brush them .
Done haying in Nov, a few times myself, for mulch, we'd be baling hay & the other guy would be picking corn!Them horses amaze me, they are always 'chomping at the bit 'like Lets get it on!!
super visit for the amish shop.
That 2 wheel chariot appears to be a frequent source of transportation. I only see springs on the seat, doesn't your lower back hurt after a whole day of using it. It is quite a contraption, very very useful.
Yes, it does work well. It can be hard ion the back
You need to get someone to repair your seat - it'll make for a better smoother ride and easier on your back, etc. Just a thought - it is your back I'm thinking of !!
Enjoyable as always Jim.
Best Regards from the U.K
Thanks watching Andy!
I like all the new angles you’re shooting from. Keep it up!
Thanks!
One heck of a splitter Jim
👍🏻
God Bless Jim!
Hi
Thank you for great video
Hello!
great videos. I'm from Poland and I'm watching your channel. best regards👍
Thank you so much for watching! We appreciate it!
Always a pleasure watching the continuous process of self sufficiency in action. Great video as usual.
Thanks for watching
Beautiful sky in these videos - Congrats to the camera person !
Your hot water supply must be greatly improved with your new furnace. Talk about neighbor helping neighbor - nice to see that happening in your area Jim !! The more you help the more you WILL be blessed !! Have a great week, my friend !!
Here in Oregon there's only a few people that use horses for logging. And it's because of the land owners. But they don't use the cart or the wagons. The make the horses pull all the time
I like anything that has too do with horses. Its a lost art of a way of working now days. Its great to see your youg adult children helping you.
It is a returning art.
There are quite a few businesses that make horse drawn machinery.
Jim I am a large animal veterinarian technician and I appreciate you ,and how you take care of your horses.
Thanks, much appreciated!
yep thats cute horses look to see what he is doing
12:25 true hp right their!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for putting out the videos. Love all of them and can't wait to see more.
Thanks Zeke!
New to your videos. I'll keep watching!
Great! Thanks for watching!
awesome video. in Manitoba, Canada we don't that big of trees but love seeing the LT40. just not much use where we live. God bless, be safe
Are Lady and Bill related ? I think a excavator would a great rig for cutting fire wood. I can really see it being a great tool to have around, there are so many uses for it.
Not that we know of.
Very busy day! I definitely can relate to the firewood thing. Looks like a Husky saw. Use a Stihl myself my dad likes his Husqauvarna. That definitely seems late for haying. Thanks for sharing!
Jim likes Huskies and our son is a Sthil man😀
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Certainly can't go wrong with either one!
18:00 Neighbour Lee being neighbourly.
😀
Have you ever thought about putting a small jib boom on your wagon and using a winch to load the logs?
No the skid steer works great for me
Beautiful
So amazing to be able to witness this.
I'm really appreciating the angles and video crafting you guys are using for you videos. It's very enjoyable and makes for beautiful scenes. I know it's work so I wanted you to know it's worth it.
I think it’s time for a new seat on the fore cart
Cham you and your wife are really organized very good team and I keep enjoying your videos
👍👌🇨🇦❤, gr8 stuff Brenda and Jim
Thanks!
.Смотрю с интересом ваши видео, молодец, уважаю, так держать, привет из России!(по скрипту: не знаю английский).
Great 👍
Do you do any cooking video love watching you
Jim only cooks 3 minute eggs😀
Hi Jim,
Beautiful action felt like I was there with you if you can do that more often would be wonderful. Ed Merry Xmas
Seems like we're always getting ready for winter!!
Yes we are
It really pays to dig out or spray burdock before it goes to seed in the fall. One of my 4 brothers had this job in the summer. I detest burdock!
Begening of video witch both horses turn around for the camera. Like who is he talking to haha .all your videos. Are great all of them i find varry intesting sho any and every thing you want to think any one can get any thing from that is what youtube is all about .i need to start filming all stuff i do im just not good with editing and stuf like dont know how .to be totaly honest love all your vids love the loging and the horses i alway click a new jim video all are great i even told few people to start to watch you have a varry neat life style .
😀Thanks Eric for your support and for watching!
Great video Jim. I just love watching you work with those incredible animals. You can really tell they trust you. It's nice to see you working with them. Fewer teams every year. Great video 👍
Good backing Jim, so smooth and straight.
How does the heat reach the living space from the detached heater?🐴😷👍
It’s a boiler, so it’s hot water going through insulated pipes to the house and into the radiators
I was wondering the same thing.......I'm in south Louisiana so we don't need anything like that.
The sounds all come back to me ,,chains,and hoofs ,I love it...stop the world Brenda and Jim...xx
Does Jim miss Vermont? I'm a Robert Frost fanatic 😉
Nice Work
I think the supplement is working. Coats look great, and their shoes sound good and tight. How's Buck and Ken doing? Thanks for sharing.
They’re doing good, have been having some pasture time
A friend in Maine has an outside boiler and burns 4 foot long Tamarac logs in it year round.
Yes, we burn Tamarac slabs too at times
At last! I now know what that small smoking apparatus I see in several videos is. I assume from what you've told us that you operate a radiator system to warm your house via underground pipes (which I couldn't see), but why so far from the house?
Good morning Jim, from Barcelona, thanks for the videos. One question, where are the other two horses that I don't see in the stable?
Thanks for watching, the other 2 are out to pasture
It's funny... Sometimes when your talking..,.. the horses turn around an look an wonder who the hell is he talking to?
How do you get the heat to your house? Is the furnace a boiler? Could you explain the system?
It’s a boiler, so it’s hot water going through insulated pipes to the house and into the radiators
Hi Jim, I don't think I've seen your splitter especially for big rounds. Before I commented I searched your channel for splitting and 3 years ago you showed cutting some long firewood poles in half with the sawmill (pretty niffty). But I am curious how do you split the large rounds
oh they go backward!!! 😄😄😄😯
I mostly have trained saddle horses, every discipline from western and reining to jumpers and dressage, even some eventers... I also have broke out some driving horses, a few arabs to cutters and buggies and some daft horses but I have never used blinkers on their bridles?? Do you always us blinkers??
yes, I do. I prefer them
is there a purpose for the 2 silver balls on the harness at the shoulder or is that just decoration
They are just for decoration
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim i think they are cool
hows buck doing with the new feed ?
I noticed that the end of your tugs have a hook, no heel chains. What is this kind of tugs called
My heel chains are hitch to the eveners
do you use it to heat your hot water for showers and other household uses or is it just for heat
It’s for all the hot water we need
I've had two places where the cooking, heating, and hot water all from the cooking stove, and a friend had one also with a pipe system in the slab floor, pumped a sealed system all though the floor right through the house, electric-driven propeller. Australia.
Does that heat everything in the house? Does the heat pipes run underground?
Yes, it heats the house and the pipes run underground to the house. It also heats the dry kiln when it is in operation
I use a woodstove inside my house to het the inside of my house.
Why heat outside? How do you transport the heat to the inside?
Ive been meaning to ask. i noticed your horses stand on an elevated wooden floor. what is the purpose of this? thx
There is concrete underneath, so I had to make it that high. It keeps the actual stalls cleaner because the is a place for the manure to drop
how much does a pair of these horses go for in your neck of the woods sir
Probably 8-10 grand
Has any of your teams ever tried to kick you and if they ever did would you keep them in a team
It would depend on why they kicked as to whether I would keep them. I have been kicked before
Thank for the information. Tom from Nebraska
Where’s Scruffy?
😀
LOL you need so do a video of yourself making a new seat lolol
Is there some reason that draft horses are not stabled in loose box stalls? And is there a reason that they don’t have free choice water available ( obviously not when hot from working) . Is the husbandry different from standard horses.
A lot of draft horses are stabled in box stalls,but I prefer straight stalls and my horses are used to them and I think quite comfortable in them. Water would freeze in my barn,but I water them regularly.You could check out an earlier video called My Top 5 Feeding Practices.
Ok what was the different way you spit wood?
Hello Jim ,
What part of the country are you from?
Hi! We live in New York near the Canadian border
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim thanks Jim I have always wanted to work with horses and work the land you are a lucky man!!
im not exactly sure how your wood stove works does it heat water how do you get heat to the house and those boys sure do like to be brushed dont look like they have a tickle spot on them lol
Does that furnace heat your house?
Yes it does
dose that fire box heat the house
yes
I'm just curious are your family Armish?
No we aren’t, just like using horses
How do you think one (or two) of your horses would react to being used to split firewood in this way? ua-cam.com/video/2YpOZBHwpT8/v-deo.html
That's really neat! They could probably get used to it
What breed is the horse's
They are Belgians
Jim it's almost cheating to split wood on the saw mill.
Just taking a little work out of it😀
You need to tell your wife that if she keeps polishing that glass she is gonna wear a hole clear through.
Beautiful
