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

      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.

    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.

    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! 💕

    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.

    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.
