    You have been clear from the start that Ken would be placed in an environment where he could be useful working. I watch this channel because I enjoy watching the loving relationship between Jim and Brenda as well as the loving relationship between them and their horses. Jim and Brenda have integrity.

    Jim, It's sad, but there are people out there that will say things completely out of place for no reason. Anyone that watches your channel for any length of time should have all the faith in the world, that you will always do what's best for your situation, and the good of your horses. Best Regards.

    We recently bought a Shire who's has done everything from logging to pulling sleighs on a ski hill. We dont have a ton of experience with pulling horses. This horse has made all of our dreams come true. He is just so reliable and good natured. He has taught us so much and kept us safe. Please send Ken to someone who has a dream to work with pulling horses so they can get experience too. It has brought so much joy in our lives.

    Ken has looked out of place since Buck died. I think it’s great you are finding Ken a place where he can be used more. Someone will get a nice gelding, well trained and well mannered. Speedy recovery Jim.

      Nun, Kenn hat Baron sehr viel beigebracht. Er war ein guter Lehrmeister. Er wäre auch jetzt noch ein guter , erfahrenerLehrmeister für die Stutfohlen und das noch etwas nervöse Pferd.
      Ich denke, Jim hätte einen viel höheren Preis für die bereits ausgebildeten Stutfohlen erzielt. Aber es sind einfach zu viele Pferde. Es wäre wirklich noch 1 bis 2 Jahre sehr sehr viel Arbeit gewesen.
      Der Unfall hat ihm jetzt leider einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht.

    I like Jacob! The way he patted Baron and Skippy, you know he loved animals! Jim made me laugh out loud when he told Brenda that he didn’t know how the horses would be able to pull her weight too. But they were fine with pulling you and Skip! I agree with Brenda, the word is “forgiving.” ❤

    I am disappointed in people that just say dumb things about your desire to find a good suitable home for your horses.
    It's obvious to anyone that watches you folks the care and good work you put into you farm and horses.
    Please don't be dis-heartened by foolish comments.

    I have had an injection in my back for my back hernia and i feel so sick and weak since then, glad you always have longer videos. I think a lot of people just love Ken a lot and there are many rescue videos on youtube of work horses that end up in the slaughter pipeline to Mexico, that it is seen so much, it has become an underbelly feeling especially from horses from the amish and they might think you do the same, and a lot of older farmers are known to do that. I hope my English is not to bad, greetings from the Netherlands ❤ p.s have a four year old dutch horse, maybe we can trade ken for her, she is a bit too wild for my since my back hernia 😁

  • @Chameshi
    @Chameshi Годину тому +1

    Sorry to hear so many people would even think you'd allow Ken to go somewhere unsuitable for him. I think the fact it was brought up was more a reflection of the sheer number of "saved this horse from slaughter/abuse/neglect" videos in social media (because those get views) that has really skewed the education about horses, and especially bias around the sale of an older horse, to anyone not actually working with horses. I really love your guys' videos because you're genuine and sincere with sharing your lives, and not doing it just to get praise from other people. Keep up the good work and hope Jim's arm has a full recovery quickly!

  • @bobbates7343

    Don't worry about comments much at all. Sounds like Ken needs to go to a place where he will get the movement he needs.

I do wonder what a horse thinks when they are moved off to some new place with new people

    Sorry you sre having to deal with negative people. Usually, reading the comments, it seems you have a good audience.
    I did get my shirt and 2025 callender today. Hurray, love them both. Glad USPS finally found them out if the snow.
