I enjoy it when you have guests at your place! Your fields are so beautiful! We had alot of pocket gophers in our fields...also dangerous for horses. My sons used to trap them. Wow! He just backed them right in!! I'm impressed!! 😊 He has beautiful horses! They are built sturdy! 💕
Enjoyed this video. It was gracious of Jim and Brenda to give their new German friends the opportunity to work the team and work the field. The hands-on experience will be something both will remember, as will the visits with the Amish.
A horse knows, the very first moment you so much as touch him, whether you know horses. And these of Jim's knew also by Kay's hands, they can tell when you know what you are doing.
Jim and Brenda, it was great to see your new German Friend driving the "B " Team. You were smart to check out the gentleman's driving skills off camera . Bill and Baron worked really well, even the backing into the shed went well.
We had an au pair named Petra from Germany living with my neighbors across the hall from me in Lausanne Switzerland for 6 months. She was 15 at the time.
Nice to see Kay drive the horses in German style. The handle from the drivingLines is really „ Colonel von Achenbach“ style… Old German teacher in the past… 💥👍🤩👍💥
I also used a harness for logging, with the swing (whippeltree) at the back against his butt.The original name was "skipper harness". They dragged the boats along in the canals with the horse on the "towpath" on the dike. A single chain went from the swing to the boat. Because the boat was to the left or right of the horse, lower in the water, the horse would always step over the strands if they were dragging just above the ground. Many people also found this way easier in the woods. You could easily try using the spider on his butt. I hope I translated well.
Classy rein handling, coachman style! English people use 'brrrp!' to mean 'get on with it' but I noticed watching Roumanian videos that they use 'brrp' to mean stop
I was curious if Kay, and "John" as Jim called him had any difficulty speaking with the Amish in their "off Dialect of The Amish German? also I spent two years in Germany in the Army back in 1061-63. and I loved every minute of it, the german People were very gracious to me and all of our troops stationed there. the one thing I noticed about their farms was the care and how maticulas they were in maintaining them. not many of the farmers back then had tractors. most of the field work was done with oxen. And that also is where I deveioped my love for Ox tail soup! still love it to this day!. To Kay and John Feil Danke and Auf Weidersayhan. ECF.
Hi Jim and Brenda, thanks for sharing your visit with your German friends, including their video clips of their horses and some farming and logging shots.
Brenda & Jim, always enjoy every single one of your videos, & this was another great one! Glad to see your German friends on your farm, what area of Germany are they from? My dad was from Kiel, Germany, my mom from Scotland. We've also subscribed to Kay's channel as well. Baron & Bill are doing a good job in the field as always!! Hello from Virginia 💕
20:07 I wanted to leave a comment in German however, my computer kept trying to translate it as I said it Kai and young welcome to America. I hope you enjoy your stay. Don’t let Jim work you too hard.
I took pictures of the horse plowing at the " International Plowing Match " . It wasn't until I got home that I noticed one team had no blinders in my pictures .This was in Ont .Canada .So blinders are they necessary, not sure .😊😊😊
If you go to Jim and Brenda's farm .Wear you work clothes and work boots .Cindy painted the barn , Erica cultivated corn , Kay picked stones . Olivia harness horses and raked hay etc etc . Our farm we called this stuff "chores", my city friends called working on the farm fun .I miss the farm not the work .😊😊😊
Kay and "John " were guests wearing short pants .Jim I believe was not taking advantage of free labour .This was a demonstration of horses working with German commands and line handling , great fun .😊😊😊😊
Wow, so cool. Thanks a lot for sharing this! I will check your channel, Kay!! Falls du das liest, wo in Deutschland bist du denn ansässig, wenn ich fragen darf? Allerbeste Grüße -Chris
Very interesting..have had experience with horses with different languages ...takes a lil while for both to adjust but as you say all in the tone... what were Kays thoughts on your D ring harness n I noticed he uses open face bridles...
copy paste in YT it has a Amish girl's drill team on horse back and shows quality horse;s for sale at action >>>>> Heart-Pounding Bidding War! My Husband Really Wanted This Auction Horse
🧐Interesting variations between yours and your friends, a lot like life , the more they change the more the more the same, looking forward to more logging from their perspective, if possible 🫣👍👋

Horses just seem to know when an experienced driver has hold of the lines. Nice work! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Kay has beautiful horses and beautiful land. And it looks like he has Skippy's German cousin! :) Good to see you all out in your fields together.
International Working Horses with Jim. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴
Thank you for sharing your visitors with us..lov from South Alabama..I use to live in Bad Kreuznach.
Fun video. Too bad we couldn’t hear your German friends. Go, B-team! Nice job backing in to the barn.
Really interesting to watch and see/hear the difference ❤
While I don't speak German, I still enjoy watching the horses work. Kay has a new subscriber. Thanks folks

He is doing very well driving your team Jim Being from Germany and never ran them before
Brenda! Maple syrup is rare in Germany! If you have good reciepe of pancakes with sirup it will be a success!
Classy rein handling, coachman style! English people use 'brrrp!' to mean 'get on with it' but I noticed watching Roumanian videos that they use 'brrp' to mean stop
Cool comment. I remember all the noises we made to communicate with horses....Kiss, cluck, Ahhch, Ho, Shhht,
Hoo, Easy, etc...
So nice to see an international connection. 😊
Skippy always has fun with everyone

I absolutely LOVE oxtail soup !! It is SO tasty and goes well with potatoes and/or rice - a perfect meal on any day !!
Hi Jim and Brenda, thanks for sharing your visit with your German friends, including their video clips of their horses and some farming and logging shots.
We had a German foreign exchange student several years ago. She could understand maybe a word or two when we went to the Amish
I have lived in Tennessee all my 75 years & we never had to pick up rocks in our fields.
Your very lucky you never had to pick rocks , there the curse of farming
My dad's farm had no rocks . It now has progress called a subdivision. Houses and roads .Urban growth once started can not be stopped .😊😊😊
Urban growth also a curse to farming .The land and city planning make the farms so valuable .😊😊😊
18:00 Jim I believe you have more than a wheelbarrow load unless your wheelbarrow is a lot bigger than mine
Brenda & Jim, always enjoy every single one of your videos, & this was another great one! Glad to see your German friends on your farm, what area of Germany are they from?

Hi from Germany ,great video
I see Jim his horses don't wear blinders
Very interesting
Great video
Carriage horses in European cities, taking tourists in the traffic, don't all have blinders, they can see all around.
I took pictures of the horse plowing at the " International Plowing Match " . It wasn't until I got home that I noticed one team had no blinders in my pictures .This was in Ont .Canada .So blinders are they necessary, not sure .😊😊😊

Chips you must have watched WHWJ for some time now . Great comment .
Loved the video of working horses in Germany but wonder about what breed they are , thank you for sharing 😊
Kay has french Boulonnais mares, a Schleswig draught horse gelding and two crosses of the mentioned breeds - one stallion and another mare.
You made it easy for the Germans, instead of picking up stones they got to drive.
Kay and "John " were guests wearing short pants .Jim I believe was not taking advantage of free labour .This was a demonstration of horses working with German commands and line handling , great fun .😊😊😊😊
Nice equines.
A guy I know taught his bird dog commands in Swedish. Then, his dog only responds to him when hunting in a group.
Looks like Kay has a German version of Skippity-do-da.
Pappakay
It would be interesting to learn if they were able to communicate with the Amish in some form of German.
Awesome video Jim and Brenda and Germany friends
Wow, so cool. Thanks a lot for sharing this! I will check your channel, Kay!! Falls du das liest, wo in Deutschland bist du denn ansässig, wenn ich fragen darf? Allerbeste Grüße -Chris
Order one beer please.
After we finish working.
Was the crowd off a little at horse progress days I might have just not seen them in any of the videos the ones I've been to in Indiana were huge
Well James it was dangerously hot 105 f .I don't blame people for staying home under a shade tree .😊😊😊
@@chips4974 you are so right but I'm from Alabama it is 105 in the shade😱😊
@@jamesabernathy6470 Snow and ice for 6 months. We have extremes Celsius 40 below or 40 above . Both can kill .Welcome to 🇨🇦 .
Very interesting..have had experience with horses with different languages ...takes a lil while for both to adjust but as you say all in the tone... what were Kays thoughts on your D ring harness n I noticed he uses open face bridles...
❤❤
Very interesting! How does he say- Gee & Haw to your horses? or does he just use the lines?
Do you ever find any arrowheads?
No😊😊😊
👍🏽👍🏽
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝
Skippy
Jim what appends if a horse breaks is leg ??
Skippy has met his partner in "crime" with the German man's dog.
Kay's dog running around the sickle mower , may not be a good idea , but that is his dog .😊😊😊

What breed of horses does Ki use?
French Boulonnais, german Schleswig draught horse and crosses of those two breeds.
What was Ules web site?
Halt. Will get the German to stop.
It is a universal word.
.....................G'day🤪
🧐Interesting variations between yours and your friends, a lot like life , the more they change the more the more the same, looking forward to more logging from their perspective, if possible 🫣👍👋
