  • Today on the farm, take a trip back in time to before Lady's filly was born! See an update on the gutter system, watch as Jim uses the horses to mow the roadsides and fields, and come along as Jim and Brenda work together to plant sweet corn in the garden.
    Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse 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. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

    Simply AMAZING and beautiful how you two keep the tradition of these awesome animals alive and well. Too many people fail to realize, these work horses literally built this country. You can tell an owners disposition by their animals behavior. Everyone has their own style. While Jim may not here carried away with praise, those animals are trained to perfection. He's clearly doing something right. Love watching your beautiful animals animals and seeing inside your world. ❤

    Happy Birthday, Brenda! My favorite job on the farm, mowing hay, especially alfalfa. Fond memory. We always left the backswath for last, omitting the chance that a rock falling from the stone wall or fallen tree limb would break a knife on the mower and hold up mowing of the rest of the field. Just different than Jim in this video. Jim, you show skillful horse handling to keep the end of the cutter bar so close to edges and posts without hitting them. Nice! Brenda, your skill as videographer keeps getting better and better. The sequence from low in the grass to the oncoming horses was wonderful. Love the video!

    Concrete wire cages in the garden -- cool beans! That's what we use, in combination with a metal post every 15' or so to prevent the wind from blowing the cages over when the wind gets strong. The concrete wire is in 6^ squares and 5' tall. After I make a cage, I cut it in half vertically for the shorter plants like potatoes and peonies. I leave the cages tall for tomatoes and cucumbers. You can change the diameter of the cages according to the plants' needs. The peony cages are 12 6" links in circumference. I find it to be a useful system. You can even make a few custom-made narrow cages to support plants with kinked/broken stems until they get big and strong enough to stand with the other foliage in the bigger cages. I am SO envious (in a good/constructive way) of you being able to use horses to do most of the farm work. I have always envied the Amish for all their horses and horse-drawn equipment. I am already blessed with 2.5 irrigated acres of grass, garden plots and assorted fruit and nut trees. I lost my cell phone with 20 years of information in it. I just regained contact with a older guy (I'm 78.75 years old) who used to do occasional jobs for me, so, now I can have him pull a couple of rotten posts in my grape patch and drill new 12" holes to put the new posts in. I see that some of the nut trees I aspire to plant need pollinating trees to thrive, so that means a few extra holes for the pollinating trees. As I told you before, the ONE tractor-drawn tool I would want if I had your farm would be a top-quality rock picker, to go over your freshly-plowed fields at least once or twice every year to keep improving your soil to the point very few rocks were left to cause trouble. I should think that fewer rocks would also be easier on the horses' hooves. The Amish have a truly amazing assortment of ingenious horse-drawn equipment. May God bless and protect Gordon Family Farm and all who dwell there! 🐴🐴🐱🐱🙏🙏

    that dump truck seemed to be respectful of you guys. gave me an idea for you guys to video on. the understanding of respect and courtesy when passing or meeting horses on the road. I think there's a lot that can be said both ways but the main thing is understanding the difference between a vehicle and a horse. like spooking or yelling out as someone speeds by etc. I know I've been on both sides, I've had my horse get spooked by a car blowing their horn as they went by and I've been a passenger in a vehicle and my coworker was bent cause an amis buggy was slow and it wasn't a good place to be sitting in that scenario

    Skilful handling with the mower Jim. I loved mowing but I had a nice tractor and disc mower/conditioner. I often mowed a field without having a single stop. You were often close to the fence posts as was I, but I would think twice about trying it with the horses. Happy birthday Brenda, choose a good name for the foal x

    The mowing is enjoyable to watch. I think that mowing would be the first training job I would give the colts.
    I think we your viewers should all send you a pack of seeds to try in your garden. It could be fun.

    Oh how I do love a mowing day! Nice job with the mowing there; you got right up to the posts and got every blade of grass, and didn't whack a single fence-post, even a little! How many years did it take you to get this good at it? And I thought your wooden row marker was ingenious, too, by the way. Thanks for letting an urban castaway remember what *real* life is like!
