HAULING LOGS WITH MY DAUGHTER!! // Draft Horse Logging
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2022
- Today my daughter Abby stopped to help me hauling logs from the woods with the draft horses! I did some logging earlier so we are using two teams to bring the loads of logs to the sawmill. Abby is using the Percheron team, Ken & Buck, and Jim is using the Belgian team, Lady & Bill.
Check out my daughter Abby's channel (A Drill & A Dream) ► / @adrilladream
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses 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!

Jim "just back them in the barn"
Abby " that's funny"
Great job Abby!!!
Very impressive how confident and proficient Abby is working the horses.
Hope jim really knows what a special girl.she is. I'm sure he does.
Jim, you make logging look so easy. Always great to see Abby. God Bless you all.
🎉
Boy oh boy put Abby behind them reigns and old Buck and Kenny they want to go. Is there anything that Abby can't do she handles them horses like she does it every day!
Pretty amazing to watch Abby back those horses into the barn. A well trained daughter and team of horses..
Abby done well with the horses. She has beautiful red hair, especially when the sun shines on it. Good video.
It is really nice listening to the directions being told to the Horses. My Mom was 1 of 12 kids. They grew up working the fields and knowing how the commands of right, left or what they need them to do. I was raised on a ranch in California with around 700 acres. We did not use horses for work but we had 40 head of horses. Enjoyed your videos horses are what you teach them.
The different camera angles you use during recording, make it a lot more interesting. Good work.
This stands out as a wonderful video. Very good job of filming Brenda, beautiful scenery and well composed. It still never fails to amaze me as to how the horses behave, a lot like giant puppy dogs. I was surprised how they came running when Jim called them. Again, this video was a great compilation of low afternoon light and great surroundings. Well done! Thank you.
Well said, John Winden! I completely agree.
Ditto, John Winden !!
Abby's a true Horse Woman. She handles them just great!
Love sound of chains hoof beats hitting the road. Puts me back when we had teams of horse with me and my dad.
#1) Abby you did fantastic Teamster work.
#2) Brenda, your fine video work never ceases to amaze me/us. Staying safe with all those horses and wagons and wilderness obstacles, Thanks!
#3) Jim, thanks for your leadership, Abby is gaining some fine skills, Abby's comments regarding the hills , I was listening to her experience so closely.
Wonderful truly Awesome video.
Lastly, very cute Cat , maybe Henry..
Love from Alaska as we burn off the morning fog. Finally some sun. :-)
It cool how as soon as their hooves hit the asphalt they go to a troot
You handled the horses quite well! Listen to Dad!! Nice time of the day! Thanks!!
😮
Nicely done to all. Thank you all for letting me in.
Ken & Buck sure do love to trot. 😁
Hey 👋
This was a great video wity lots of information. Abby did a great job.. And Brenda got lots of exercise...as usuall. What a trouper she is.
I find it hard to believe that cars don't slow right down when passing horses. Here in UK we slow right down to a walking pace and wait until the person in charge of the horse tells us its okay too very slowly pass them. 🐎
And very often the cars will completely stop and turn there engines off, l know l do.Hi Carol 😊
Unfortunately there are also total arseholes,I remember when I used to go out hacking I’ve even had people toot there horn as they sped past
Very true. But we don't tend to use horse teams for logging and haulage like Jim and Abby were.
Perhaps motorists are more used to it in Amish areas and they assume the horses are less skittish near vehicles.
It made me nervous just watching.
I have noticed that the new highway code has made cars slow down a lot more near bicyclists (and I suppose horses) - even taxidrivers are obeying the changes.
Oh yes on respect for horses on the roads... it's scary, and dangerous for cars to drive at speed passing horses.
As a horse owner/rider/ driver, I would take the vehicle number and report it to police...
@@alangknowles horses came before cars...vehicles don't have the sole rights to moving on roads..
I suppose there are still people long- training horses on roads - horses learning road work for driving etc..yes even in UK.
I lived on Dartmoor and used to walk miles training horses/ponies on roads, most car drivers were cautious - there are idiots everywhere though!
Good afternoon from The Land of the Waxhaws, NC. Watching your channel brings back my memories of when I was 14 and working for a loose hay farmer. He had a team of "Browns," and at nearly six feet, at first, I had a hard time throwing the harness up over their backs. But I loved working with them and took to it like a barn fly to a cow. I used them to cut hay, ted or side delivery depending on whether the horse owner was going to bail or load the loose hay, in which case we hooked a loader behind the wagon. There was a real art to "mowing" the hay on the wagon and again in the hay loft. Again, we used the horses to pull the hay up from the wagon and into the barn. It was my job to set the fork and his to drive the horses to lift the hay We cleaned the barn using horses, spread the manure, dredged the creek and a million other things, all using horsepower. One thing I learned about horses they were a whole lot smarter than a tractor and cost a whole lot less than the maintenance and gas to keep a tractor going. As they grew to know me, they'd do their darndest to please me, and when out loose in the field, they'd come to me as soon as they saw me. Of course, I might have a couple of apples in my pockets or some carrots. Your videos sure stir up some good memories of back when I was but a slip of a kid and always hungry. p.r.morehouse - author
Always a pleasant surprise; beautiful day, beautiful ride in the evening. Abby did a super job with the Percherons. Brenda was up to usual high creative standards with the camera. Jim is always like the Rock of Gilbralter. BUT the horses take the top rating with me. You bless my life because you include me in yours.
So nice! Don't know how you say, we have a saying like 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree'. Fits perfectly here, great parents, great daughter. It's really awesome to see you all on two channels helping each other so faithfully. That's probably quite unique on youtube. Big hugs to all of you!!🤗 Take care! -Chris
There are some other channels of which this is true- Cabin on the Hill, + Lawn Care Juggernaut, Dan Wheeler and Jessie Mueller,Sandi Brock + Jess Brock, come first to mind. They each have their own channels but help each other frequently.
The sound of the horses hoofs on the ground along with the heavy wagon on the gravel sounds almost exactly like what the big trains that run along sound like . I often refer to the train as the iron horse
So much enjoyment watching your family working the horses. You have done such a wonderful job breaking them. You treat them excellent and they treat you with respect. Thank You and your Family for sharing your time with all of us. 🤗😊
WOW! A single gal who has her own house she's remodeling and knows how to drive a team of horses. Sounds like marriage material for some lucky guy to me!
Abby ~ such memories as these.
Great job! I love hearing the clopping of the hooves on pavement! Now I can't wait to see the trio work on cutting the logs for Abby's project!
Yes, me too, those were some hefty logs Abby was pulling!
Nice to see Abbey working the horses. Blessing to all!!!
Your videos are getting better and better! We admired Abby's excellent handling of the team from beginning to end and Mom Brenda is getting great shots. Jim is a great teacher of people and animals!! Great work, you all!
😊
What a beautiful evening that was,well done Abbey 👌 you did fantastic and looked like a woman on a mission and Brenda your camera work is very much coming on.....who's grooming ALL the windy horses tonight then, ls it our handsome Kenny that always seems to popping windows,that's our saying when baby's have wind 🤣😂🤣 Must have been warm as all horses had a sweat on.Think the title could have been ...... lts a family affair. All the very best to you all dear friends ❤️
What a super video for the fall time, we loved seeing Abby again helping out,what a brave good gal...she did good with the challenges ...good thing I wasn't there,,I laughed out loud a couple times, especially as t the barn backup,she's like. "0pps ". But then dad walks up...reminded me with my dad...love you folks ,,wish we were closer..salvage those lovely apples bren.! Xx sue
Abby I was thinking the same thing! Buck and Ken were a little musical🤣🤣 You really have a great dad! He reminded me of my father ❤️❤️
Love when Abby drives that team
The sound of hoof beats, I hope I hear it in heaven !
What a beautiful evening to Haul logs
Great job Abby driving the horses
I get so much enjoyment watching the horses work! Abby did an excellent job driving Ken and Buck. Great work Abby👌!! The beautiful horses are so well trained. The little kitten is precious. It looked like he has brown eyes which are very rare for kitties, they usually have golden or green eyes. He's such a clean little kitten too. His white underside is nice and clean, so he's learned to groom himself well. He will be a sweet kitty for your friend.
Great camera work Brenda,those horses are so beautiful.
Yeah, Brenda !! You are certainly quite the camerawoman with your great shots and views through the leaves !! Quite the professional !!
Great job Abby. Such beautiful horses.
Great trip down and back. scenic, just the sounds alone are enough for me. the sounds of the hoofs on the pavement and roads. the clink and clank of the agons. and Brenda ? those Gassy sounds were "Aeronautical propulsion" from ken and Buck to help move the load of logs a little easier. And nice job of backing in the cart Abby. not an easy task to do in one shot. Also that Tight turn after you dropped the wagon off. Ken and Buck probably could have done it on their own. they've done so many tight turns like that in the woods they are well versed in them. great video all way round thanks for taking us along. and I am following your Drill and a dream Abby. thanks all! God speed. ECF.
Yes!, we need to light off the afterburner fuel methane. Ah ha.😄
Yes! That turn sharp and like the hay rake, negative turn radius, John deere don't even have that..
They don't need much space, good training, but like Jim says can catch the tire and flip over, he(also Abby), make it look easy.. don't retire Buck yet, hopefully Buck will be able to spend some time with the young bucks b4 he hangs up his shoes.
What à lovely kitten🥰
Great job driving and handling the horses Abby!
As you film the road side, I am struck how similar the landscape looks to where I grew up in N. Iowa, not far from the Mississippi. I realize we ARE in the same country but I also know we have some different plants and geographical formations. It is so cool to see so many similarities.
I love the golden light time of day. It is my favorite. Makes everything so beautiful.
Abby, I'm sure impressed by your "horsemanship" and the handling of those Percherons when you brought in a load of logs from the woods !! You know all the commands and the way to handle the horses - your Dad taught you well !! I'm sure your mum had some input as well, as she drives a good team, as well !! It must run in the family, or your genes, or whatever !!
Very impressive Abby love the sound of your direction orders you have them so close to your dad’s commands, thanks for the ride..
Abby, you seem quite comfortable carriage riding those horses.
You’ve been well trained.
It’s wonderful seeing you gathering your wood for your home project.
That’s an amazing content 😊
You recommended this channel & I love both, this channel & A drill & a dream.
Awesome video🙌🏼Beautiful evening, so peaceful🌅The cooler temps gave them lots of pep! Good team work by all🙌🏼🤠🐴🇨🇦
Abby is one dang good teamster .
Abby your talents are amazing. Construction, horses .
Thank you Jim Brenda and Abby. That is a lot of horse power.
Nice to see that someone is keeping the skills alive 😁👍
I don't know what you call it but I love the cropped mane. I notice that the horses in the Queen's funeral procession also have cropped manes.
Roach, maybe spelling is incorrect???
Your team likes to trot on the pavement!!
JIM 🥰
👋😈
Loved this video. Abbey did an amazing job working with Ken and Buck. 😊
Whitties baby!!!!! What a beauty.
Both teams look great today! Good job Abby too! I love how you tell us about the personalities of each horse or how the team works too.
Great video Jim and Brenda and Abby
Great job abby and jim and all the horse good video
What a gr8 way to spend a summer evening.
❤We love watching your channel so much! We are from Washington State and are retired. So we watch your post all day long! Brenda is such a delight to listen to and learn from! Your stories and home is so beautiful. What an amazing family you have! Jim is extremely interesting to listen to and learn all about your life, your farm, your horses and family. You are amazing all that you do and know! Very Interesting. Sending you all best wishes and continue good health! Stay safe 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕
Awesome job Abby
What, in a nice and careful way she controlled horses with heavy load, very weldone.
Well done Abby what a picture perfect turn well done.
Abby I think when the horses are making the " windy pop " sounds you should play music to drowned it out. Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind " comes to mind..unless anyone could think of better suggestions 😆🤣 best wishes from the North Norfolk coast England UK 🇬🇧
I have to laugh its funny 🤣
Hello Jim, Brenda, Abby and all your beauty's. Good job Abby!
I did enjoy the journey. Abby had such control of the horses. Great job.
When driving and see horses on the road we stop and turn our engines off,l know l do.But quite often when lm riding the odd car will zoom past without a thought.
Nice job backing them in Abbie.
I just love your family. You work together and help each other. I watch both channels and enjoy all of yu family projects. Thnaks for sharing with us.
Awesome working family, Thanks again all.

You did a good job you are a good little teamster I watch both of your channels so keep up the good work God bless
Wow, this brings back so many memories! Thanks for the great content!!
Lots of fun have a great day.
The kittens are growing!
It's wonderful to watch. Your love for & good care of the horses is proved by their trust in, and readiness to obey Jim & his lovely daughters. Best Wishes in All your endeavors!
I was looking at descriptions for Suffolk Punch horses, and they're described as "immensely powerful'" and very energetic.
Great job Abby! I enjoy you channel too.
And you are an excellent driver of a team of horses and my sister‘s goal her has been a fan of Percherons for many years! She owns horses and really wants to own a Percheron it’s not too but I never understood it until I started watching your videos. She always said they were very gentle and I never believed her but I am short and tiny and she’s more like you and you’re such a skilled horse man and I love the relationship you have with your father… I was very close w/ My Dad, and I thought it was so sweet how he got down off of his wagon and came up to you and gave you very specific instructions telling you what he wanted you to do with regards to going down that hill and making sure you understood how to protect yourself first and then the horses second. It just brought tears to my eyes that he loved you so much, that you were going to be first in his life over the horses.❣️❣️❣️And we both know the value of those horses ❣️❣️ I love hearing the sound of the hooves on the road and in the barn, as you were driving, and also backing up! Plus, I was so amazed at how well you backed up into the barn was barely even turning around! You did it was such confidence❣️❣️❣️❣️♥️♥️ so proud of you ♥️♥️ANN!!
I love the little kitten… Tiger stripes not so much his name back I’m sorry you don’t get to keep it for yourself because it was an adorable face and he definitely likes you💕💕It is wonderful to see you working with your Dad and the wonderful relationship you have together❣️❣️ mine father has been gone 22 years approximately and I miss him every day as well as our relationship. I knew I was special to him even though there were 12 children in our family and that was no one else closer to him than me. He was careful not to show favoritism but I worked with him just like you are your father and did things that nobody else was willing to do with him and he would take those times to Tell me how much she appreciated me and he would use those times also to teach me and to this day, I value those times so very much!!!!
Thank you for your Mom and you making these videos, because I don’t think that if the two of you weren’t doing it, we would not get to see the beauty of your land, the horses, and the special work that you do on your farm because I think your dad is much like my father call mom and that the workload was already heavy enough that he didn’t have time to pick up a camera and take on one more thing and wasn’t going to start talking to a little box LOL some of my most prized possessions either one that are the videos the old fashion VCR type of our family at the holidays and my dad is playing games with us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day… And he was so intimidated by that camera… One evening we were playing charades and he was definitely out of his element but I look back on those and I love them. I hope to give all of my siblings a DVD of the copies of our family and I know the dynamics of our siblings and Grandchildren, as well as deceased siblings and family members will be different but that is part of my family and so they can you’re fast forward or throw it away if they want but I don’t think they will do that. It is a way of having our parents and grandparents, visually live due to virtual internet, for a few hours. You guys will look back on these videos for years to come. I thank you for sharing them with all of us and especially for sharing a part of history that is long past.
I cannot believe how long those logs are but your dad cuts and then puts him up in his barn and turns them into lumber. I am amazed and his strength😊❣️❣️❣️❣️.
One question I have is, what does he eat throughout the day? Does he drink a super power drink to help him cope or does he Just drink coffee like my parents did? Thank you again for this wonderful video and until next time, God bless and my prayers are always with you guys and your safety if you work with the horses! Great job and driving the team down that hill, Ann❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️😊😊
Forgive Me, Heavy for making the mistake of missed calling you the wrong name through this entire comment. I know you’re not and and you only excuse I have is I have not been well lately. I had a anesthesia procedure last Monday and I think that stuff is still affecting my brain. I know you’re Abi and not an and so I apologize to you, your parents, & your readers💪💪❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Loved the video! Such well-trained horses. How many kittens did Whitey have this time? 'Henry' sure is cute!
Nice job going down the hill! The ride through the woods and the sunset are beautiful images.
Our rescue kitten was quite interested in "possibly Henry." My son's buddy heard this little guy crying in a bank parking lot in the middle of the night on August 12. He was only about 7 or 8 weeks old, fully weaned but only recently. We're not positive how he got there, since it's in a shopping mall district and not really near houses. Anyway, we had just been talking about getting a kitten because it had been nearly 2 years since our feral rescue died. That one was an older street cat that was severely injured. We only had him 3 years before he succumbed to the effects of his hard life on the streets. This kitten looks just like him -- orange! Different colored eyes though. My son called him Apollo because he's a little ray of sunshine 🌞 (Apollo was the Greek god of the sun). It's so nice having a kitten around and watching him develop and learn. I understand why landlords rarely allow pets, but it's still kinda sad to not be able to have one. Hopefully it won't be too long before Abby can move into her own place and be the one who decides if pets are allowed or not!
I enjoyed this video as always 💕🐎😺

Vous avez vraiment des bons chevaux d'attelage des paires qui ont l'habitude de travailler ensemble c'est magnifique et Abby mène cet attelage avec panache Bravo la famille Albert le Suisse
Ganz toll!
Ich liebe deine Videos.
Super Pferde 🐎👍.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪.
When you folks take a vacation (I know).....would love to host you in Wyoming. Always welcome.
Your family is so bless
Ive never driven, myself, but that looked like a good drive down that wooded grade. Nice photography thru the woods.
Another great video, love this family of hard workers and their team of horses.
Looks like Jim can stay in shape just schlepping the harnesses around.
Fathers always love their daughters
I remember working on Mackinac island and you hear horses farting everywhere . Gets kinda hard to breath at times . Lol . Good job Abby
Well done Abby have a day love 😍 from TEXAS
With all due respect to my Chicago upbringing, there are times when I really wish I had grown up in the country and lived the kind of life I see here. I might have been a lot happier in a farming existence even with all the challenges.
In my old Farm and Ranch magazine the farmers put branches in the draft horses bridles to repel flies. Plants that repel flies: basil, Lavender, rosemary, mint or bay laurel. Wonder if you have tried that?
No, thanks for the idea, I’ll have to try that! I’ve got lots of basil and rosemary. Thanks, Brenda
I learned to ride and ride very well. I always wanted to take driving lessons but it never came to be . You all are living my dream almost . I wished to have done logging with horses in northern Canada but one thing and another the government made it all seem way to expensive
Congratulations on 60 K Jim. Be safe and be careful
Well the horses are very nice. It looks like both teams are both very well matched teams. And the harness is very nice also. I enjoyed the video and I also would like to see the video of the logs being sawed if you do a video when sawing the logs into lumber. I built my own house from lumber I sawed from my farm. In fact I Have lived in three different houses that I built from lumber that I sawed myself. I can really admire folks that have the knowledge and strong work ethic to do sawing and building their own house or other building. Have a great day..!!..
Hello everyone,
Listen to an old man; this shot would look great on a calendar, beautiful, absolutely the whole picture!!!!!!!!!
😾👋
