Hi! I love your channel. I was wondering if the stalls for the horses were intentionally small (meaning that they just fit the horses standing up) or if it is simply because that`s how the barn was built. I know that horses don`t usually lay down but they do sometimes. It`s just curiosity. No criticism here. Thank you!
Those two boys are doing so good..standing and working so well together..enjoyed the Quiet video..PICTURES ARE TRULY WORTH A MILLION WORDS. LOV from South Alabama.
Your quiet day of horse logging beautifully captures the serene and timeless bond between humans and nature. The dedication and care you put into this traditional method highlight the depth of your connection with the land. It’s inspiring to see such harmony and skill in action. And I am Floating Village Life.
Seeing all the names above the stalls reminded me of Buck for some reason. If there is a horse heaven I'm sure he is there working as hard as he did on earth.
Wonderful. Fantastic. Best ever !! I love it when there is no, or minimal speaking. It makes me feel like I am really there. I can just sit back, relax, and become fully absorbed in the activities. Keep up the good work..
PG here Thank you for the long video. It is a treat every once in a while. From the time you get to your destination 5 minutes into the video, you drive the team deeper and deeper into the woods. A nice, slow walk. At 11:00 mins. I was thinking, Oh my, these horses have to pull a full load of logs out this same distance! Wow!
My observation is a Great Logger/Teamster ( Jim Gordon ) with a pair of well trained horses ( Bill and Baron) working together to accomplish a good days harvest in the wood lot. A good man making his plan and working his plan to completion. Great Job on filming today's episode Brenda
Much as I loved Baron’s flowing flaxen mane, I can see how much more practical his buzz cut is - I bet he feels cooler and experiences a lot less tugging on and tangling in his harness tack! Thanks for another excellent video!
Great video. You do so much running about, Brenda, to get all these fabulous shots. I think you need a good old pony to help with the job, At least, that is what I would be wanting. Greetings from Australia.
this was special because it was back to the woods again, we love it. just love watching the horses grab a tree snack, especially Baron..do you ever cut into your wedges? and how often do you have to fill the big tank of the excavator?. so fun today..thanks for being on.
There is quite a large open area where trees have been. Do you let trees grow back naturally or do you have tree planting done? Despite the heavy work the horses have done, they walk out of the finished job at a brisk pace. That's horsemanship. The horses have toned power.
You know Mr. Jim, your Colts and Skippy through Mrs. B's guidance has really come a long way. It just goes to show what knowledge, patience, and endurance bring out in animal performance. Great job
This was a experience for me I had been to a lot of auctions but never seen anything like this before it was great to look at because my days of buying are over
Barron looks great, looks like he’s come a long way. My question is: What is your favorite thing about Barron and what do you think he needs to do better if anything.
❤ My question: How long would you say it took to tack up the horses and get to the job site ? Of course you make this look so easy, but I know it's alot of work. Wow, you are in great physical shape, like you were 20yrs old.
Good morning Jim and Brenda. My question was regarding the evening chains to the long leather straps. If the chains were shorter then the double hooking would be unnecessary. I saw it around the 6 minute 30 period on the video. Always enjoy your channel so please stay safe. Cheers from northeast Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
When talking about Lady being Bred to the Beligian with a pulling back ground. You said something about If we keep Bree and June. Would you really part with any of your horses?
Hi Brenda n’Jim,Q are you planning on keeping Bree as a future mare or just as a working horse she’s really a beautiful female with a great pedigree.!wonderful background.!!! Have a nice day always a pleasure watching your videos.God bless.!!!
48 minutes in. After the horses are digging deep, pulling something heavy, is it typical they don't listen to backup? Essentially do they get a little stubborn when they are in the pulling mindset? I can tell they love pulling hard thank you for the content love it when I see you post new content thank you so much. As a young man trying to build a farm from scratch I dream of doing this someday.
20:30 how do you know what kind of tree that pine is for instance? Do you cut down any old tree or do ya know what kind of tree specifically youre looking for before you cut it down? How do ya know what it is before you cut it down? Hahaha 😅 how long did it take to learn a tree just by its bark? Thanks Brenda for the gr8 videography.! Thanks Jim for teaching me how to handle the horses so well too! You're a terrific horseman logger! 😅 Stay safe nd God bless you, Brenda nd the farm. I really enjoy being w the horses while Brenda combs them out especially, and all of the content, really..! ❤❤
@ 22 min., cold start, 6 pulls, pretty typical for a cold start, one pull thereafter...very good, carry on. Hate to see that red rot on such a nice log, dang it anyways. I was thinking that was your Doug fir from your Doug fir lot? Great video, it was horse logging that brought me to your channel, sure Love it All , but have a special love for being in the woods with the big timber. "Great Video" does not fully say it , but... Thank you. (Horses pulling hard and Strong!, Wow.)
Wow! how far off the road are you? What a nice ride. Flies and skeeters don't look that bad on this day. Those look like fir trees that we have here in MN.
Did you ever get a flat tire on that rig you sit on while you are in the woods working? Do you bring an extra tire with you to change it? Thank you. Great video.
I was just wondering if when the horses rub their head on one another....is it a sign of affection or dominance ? The team are looking very smart all trimmed manes and tails and in excellent shape. Thanks for the video.
it looks so peaceful there!! I was wondering if you ever see any bears in the woods while you are working there? I live here in Northwest West Virginia and we do have a occasional black bear wonders across our yard, but they have never stuck around for long before the Great Perinese chases it away. we just moved into the woods a few months ago and are just starting to clear some of it away for a bigger clearing around the house.
If you put your collars on upside down, you won't have to be so ruff. when you get them on, turn them over gently. It works. You seem to throw them on.
Jim - I appreciate you trying to introduce new methods of filming, but there were so many opportunities for you to teach and educate in this voice silent video, I recognized how much you sharing what you are doing adds to the video content. I believe your talking is 50% of the content of the video itself. Like it very much when you and Brenda talk and tell.
At 10:16 I notice the evener is giving Barron a little advantage. Is Bill that much stronger? Do you keep the evener on the same setting for field work?
5 min mark. I haven't seen you take more than 2 horses logging. Will you be taking Earl and/or Duke with you to start learning their logging trade? They seem to be doing very well on the farm.
My questions are what is usually covered in the narration. Whose forest are you in? (Since you took the trailer, I thought you were going off the farm. But your equipment is there, so I don't know.) What kind of trees are you cutting, and for what purpose? You are so good at what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Jim I've noticed over the years you always have your PPE (personal protection equipment).. your hard hat with ear muffs n face shield..your leggings n your safety sleeveless shirt ..lol..thought hit me this morning...does Brenda have hearing protection for being near the chainsaw running??
Hi Jim, I have often seen in your videos that the horses will grab and eat greenery when in the woods - are there any trees or other plants that you have to watch out for? ie is any of them toxic to horses?
Let's hear your questions!
Love you guys ❤...
My question is what is the purpose of lady having 3 foals? Are u planing to sell them or keep them all?
Hi! I love your channel. I was wondering if the stalls for the horses were intentionally small (meaning that they just fit the horses standing up) or if it is simply because that`s how the barn was built. I know that horses don`t usually lay down but they do sometimes. It`s just curiosity. No criticism here. Thank you!
Has Ken been retired? I haven't seen him working in a good while. Maybe I just missed a video though.
Does Jim have messenger on his phone or a way to contact him
What do the eye covers on the bridal do for the horses
Thank you Brenda for taking the time out of your day to film for us all...
Those two boys are doing so good..standing and working so well together..enjoyed the Quiet video..PICTURES ARE TRULY WORTH A MILLION WORDS. LOV from South Alabama.
Not much better than a quiet day in the woods. Thanks for taking us along.

Seeing all the names above the stalls reminded me of Buck for some reason. If there is a horse heaven I'm sure he is there working as hard as he did on earth.
I am sure he is in horse heaven. I miss him too!
Same, he was a great old boy. I was appreciating Bill too, who was enjoying his butt scrubbing groom. RIP Buck.
I loved Buck !
Wonderful. Fantastic. Best ever !! I love it when there is no, or minimal speaking. It makes me feel like I am really there. I can just sit back, relax, and become fully absorbed in the activities. Keep up the good work..

Fresh off the award winning horse pull,back to work 😊

Hello how are you doing today
Man, i'm perplexed! It's a heavy task and hard labour. For all partisipants. Please take my bow and respekt. From Belarus.
You guys ,,,Jim ,and Bill and Baron did great going down that muddy hill with that load.
Love when you go into the woods to log ,such pretty scenery.
Love and enjoy your videos. Jim working with the horses and logging
yes, congratulations on your win at the horse pull..😊
Hello how are you doing 😊
Baron looks great with his mane cut ❤️
Good to have been watching the channel a while and knowing that Jim stops the horses when they need to catch their breath.
Hello how are you doing
Is God rewarding with abundance Jim and Brenda ? . Abbie now knows that prayer life is fruitful.
Brings back memories, thank you. Had a belgian named Bill in my mid twenties. Loved to pull logs. Smart as they come and a heart of gold.
You run a clean operation
Hello how are you doing
Great video. You do so much running about, Brenda, to get all these fabulous shots. I think you need a good old pony to help with the job, At least, that is what I would be wanting.
Greetings from Australia.
I know nothing about horses, but those two boys are calm and seem to know exactly where you want them to go. Thank you for the peaceful video.
this was special because it was back to the woods again, we love it. just love watching the horses grab a tree snack, especially Baron..do you ever cut into your wedges? and how often do you have to fill the big tank of the excavator?. so fun today..thanks for being on.
Brenda you have got to be in the best shape ever to keep up with the team and hold a camera. Yep a little jealous here. Keep up the good work.
Hello how are you doing today
Always enjoy W H W J my favorite segments are the woods and logging , farming ok , lots of variety/ skill logging, Jim/Brenda 👍👋
Oh,to have the energy of Skippy 😊
A super video Jim and Brenda you guys have one of the best UTube channels!!!
The smell of the fresh pine must be amazing...
There is quite a large open area where trees have been. Do you let trees grow back naturally or do you have tree planting done? Despite the heavy work the horses have done, they walk out of the finished job at a brisk pace. That's horsemanship. The horses have toned power.
I said it once I'll say it again this is the best channel on the
amen !
You know Mr. Jim, your Colts and Skippy through Mrs. B's guidance has really come a long way. It just goes to show what knowledge, patience, and endurance bring out in animal performance. Great job
This was a experience for me I had been to a lot of auctions but never seen anything like this before it was great to look at because my days of buying are over
Brenda you do a great job of videoing
Barron looks great, looks like he’s come a long way. My question is: What is your favorite thing about Barron and what do you think he needs to do better if anything.
Yes, I would like to know as well 😊
❤ My question: How long would you say it took to tack up the horses and get to the job site ? Of course you make this look so easy, but I know it's alot of work. Wow, you are in great physical shape, like you were 20yrs old.
Those two horses work great together! Great job of training them, Jim.
Great team work human and equine❤.
awsome the way those horses beheave and respond to you.
enjoyed this much.thank you
I enjoy watching the logging process. Do you plan to work Earl and Duke in the forest this winter?
Hello how are you doing
Good morning Jim and Brenda. My question was regarding the evening chains to the long leather straps. If the chains were shorter then the double hooking would be unnecessary. I saw it around the 6 minute 30 period on the video. Always enjoy your channel so please stay safe. Cheers from northeast Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
That dog looks so happy on the farm, so much for him to do!!!
Baron has a big boy haircut...he looks nice
When talking about Lady being Bred to the Beligian with a pulling back ground. You said something about If we keep Bree and June. Would you really part with any of your horses?
Hi Brenda n’Jim,Q are you planning on keeping Bree as a future mare or just as a working horse she’s really a beautiful female with a great pedigree.!wonderful background.!!! Have a nice day always a pleasure watching your videos.God bless.!!!
That’s a good jag of logs and good horses

Hello how are you doing
Farming horse is very nice. Farm is very beautiful.
Love these beautiful horses. You and your family are wonderful. If I ever get back to the East Cost, I will come and visit, learn from you.
Jim and Brenda Has Skippy met any woodland critters . Porcupine ( ouch) skunks ( p u ) etc . Or is that sometime in the future. 😊😊😊
It is great video that make me feel fresh and relaxing.
it's hard work respect and admiration to the man
The horses are amazing. How is Miss pansy going. I so love jerseys.
Hello how are you doing
Love watching you log with your horses your videos are so fun and even educational but my question is are you logging on your own property today?
@ 22 min., cold start, 6 pulls, pretty typical for a cold start, one pull thereafter...very good, carry on.
Hate to see that red rot on such a nice log, dang it anyways. I was thinking that was your Doug fir from your Doug fir lot? Great video, it was horse logging that brought me to your channel, sure Love it All , but have a special love for being in the woods with the big timber. "Great Video" does not fully say it , but... Thank you.
(Horses pulling hard and Strong!, Wow.)
I see you pointed to a log with a crack and another you circled the center,, firewood ? The team is doing great, be safe and be well,
Wow! how far off the road are you? What a nice ride. Flies and skeeters don't look that bad on this day. Those look like fir trees that we have here in MN.
The boys got a workout on this job
Great video! Excellent work on the camera, Brenda. Beautiful team!
It must be a horse pull coming up soon and the big boys are getting a workout plus getting the job done
That pull with the two long trees.how would you compare it to your horse pull adventure.looked like it was a pretty hard pull,
Conrgratulations on your work. Belo Horizonte. Brazil
LOL At 27:10 the horses watching the excavator M ove logs they were thinking WHY DOES HE GET US TO PULL THEM AT ALL???🐎🐎
Did you ever get a flat tire on that rig you sit on while you are in the woods working? Do you bring an extra tire with you to change it? Thank you. Great video.
Great job friend. Greetings from Brazil.
Looks like Baron finally got over biting.
Some Stallions have habit of nipping the horse in harness next to them , being gelded calms their nature
I was just wondering if when the horses rub their head on one another....is it a sign of affection or dominance ?
The team are looking very smart all trimmed manes and tails and in excellent shape. Thanks for the video.
it looks so peaceful there!! I was wondering if you ever see any bears in the woods while you are working there? I live here in Northwest West Virginia and we do have a occasional black bear wonders across our yard, but they have never stuck around for long before the Great Perinese chases it away. we just moved into the woods a few months ago and are just starting to clear some of it away for a bigger clearing around the house.
Hello how are you doing today 😊
Jim could thread a needle with that excavator and skid steer.
I’ve found with mules, llamas, and donkeys if you do something new with them 3 times, they pretty much have!
Jim, you remind me of my Dad he was a hard worker, too quick question how long do you work in a day with a team of horses?
Great job!
If you put your collars on upside down, you won't have to be so ruff. when you get them on, turn them over gently. It works. You seem to throw them on.
Enjoyed this video format very much :)
What species of trees were you pulling out? Were they reforested?
I like baronshair cut
After a hard day at work, do you cool them and if you do, what do you do to cool them down?
Great video again ! What size chain are most of your chokers? 1/4” or 5/16” or 3/8”. Thanks for sharing your experience.
What type of trees are you going for today - are they for. An order.
Hello how are you doing
I like it better when you talk it sure is a long way back in there
Me gusta mucho él tipo de caballos que tienen muy buenos para ese trabajo dios los bendiga siempre
Where are you logging today.is this your lot or someone else’s.are you looking for any particular lumber today?
Jim - I appreciate you trying to introduce new methods of filming, but there were so many opportunities for you to teach and educate in this voice silent video, I recognized how much you sharing what you are doing adds to the video content. I believe your talking is 50% of the content of the video itself. Like it very much when you and Brenda talk and tell.
Thanks, don't forget to watch Monday's video. Lots of explanation then
What's up Jim . You and Brenda ok. I'm Jerald from homestead . Pgh pa.
At 10:16 I notice the evener is giving Barron a little advantage. Is Bill that much stronger? Do you keep the evener on the same setting for field work?
5 min mark. I haven't seen you take more than 2 horses logging. Will you be taking Earl and/or Duke with you to start learning their logging trade? They seem to be doing very well on the farm.
I believe Earl has already been logging with Bill
Do you do much logging in the summer? Most of the loggers around my parts wait for the cold weather to do most of their work.
Have you semi-retired Ken? Seems it’s always Bill & Baron headed to the woods now
My questions are what is usually covered in the narration. Whose forest are you in? (Since you took the trailer, I thought you were going off the farm. But your equipment is there, so I don't know.) What kind of trees are you cutting, and for what purpose? You are so good at what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Love to you saeed Ahmed from lahore Pakistan ❤
At 41 minutes in were you marking the log where it wasn't straight ? Therefore not making good lumber? How many hours do you spend when you go out ? 😊
What do the eye covers do on bridal for the horses?
really nice
Jim what was wrong with the tree you pointed at.was it from lighting
Jim I've noticed over the years you always have your PPE (personal protection equipment).. your hard hat with ear muffs n face shield..your leggings n your safety sleeveless shirt ..lol..thought hit me this morning...does Brenda have hearing protection for being near the chainsaw running??
Who was Lady’s teammate before you got Bill?
Paul Smith College? Have not heard about them in a while. Care to give it a mention? Thanks for your videos.
Hello how are you doing today 😊
