    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.

    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.

      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.

    It's obvious to anyone that watches you folks the care and good work you put into you farm and horses.

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 would have never thought that someone would think you would sell your horses for meat . I think a lot of people watch these kill barn and judge everybody on the same thing. But I am sure when you are selling your horses you have great intentions in mind that they go to a great home and be used for work. You have a great friend there Traveling the miles to help you . oh Jim you are too funny with your words to Brenda laugh out loud. . Gets better I'm praying for you here in the frozen Canada today at minus 34 here in Sherwood Park AB

    Hi jim, you couldn't have been more clear in your video that what you wanted was one of your viewers who knew Ken to take him and continue working him for many many years to come. If you get ignorant viewers who are not paying attention and assuming something else, that's not on you, that's on them. Hopefully Ken will go to a good home.

    I watch your channel because I love horses even though I don’t know much about them. I haven’t been watching your channel long but I never once thought the horses were being sold for meat. My thoughts are your farm, your business. You do you. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am learning a lot by watching your channel.
