Working with Horses in the Garden and Fields // Cultivating and Raking Hay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2021
- Today @Working Horses With Jim we are working in the garden and in the fields with the horses. Abby came over to help with cultivating the garden, along with Lady, and later the Percherons and I work on raking hay in the field.
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!

Cultivating the garden brings back memories. I was about five when Dad came in for lunch from cultivating corn with a one row cultivator and Colonel, the remaining draft horse on the farm. He took me to the field with him after lunch stating it wasn't easy guiding the horse with the long reins and the cultivator too. I was "voluntold" to guide the horse. Old Colonel and I went many a mile up and down those corn rows. He had the procedure down, in reality, I was along for the ride.
Amazing how Lady knew she was to not hit one marker. Straight as a arrow! Lady rocks!
Yes, she is a good horse
أسرة مجتهده تعمل وتساعد بعضها لبعض هذا عمل مميز احسنتما العمل الجماعي فى زراعة الأرض بالخير الوفير دائماً حقآ أنها أسرة سعيدة جداً بعملها ووفقكم الله لكل خير دائماً
Your videos bring back to the story’s my grand father told us of logging in Maine with horses
And how the horse would drag the logs from the woods to the river by themselves after being showed the trail he said some could get themselves un stuck from problems they encountered
My grand father was normally on the woods end and someone else on other end of trip
Thanks for sharing
Ken and Buck r beautiful horses Jim
Awwwww shucks,.....we didn't get to see Abby standing up on the horses back, like last year. Hope you are feeling better Abby. 60+ years ago, I would have never thought that I would one day see a beautiful lady sitting on the back of a horse checking her cell phone. 60+ years ago, we didn't even know what a cell phone was. We still had party lines with a 4-digit phone number.
Ya isn't that odd, but I like the combo of their kids doing this work and having technology.
Haha, couldn't get her to do it this year. She is feeling better. We remember those old party line days as well!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Yes, the party line days, local four digit numbers and five miles away you were charged long distance. Now the local calls are 10 digits, all calls within the US are free, and you can make free worldwide calls using Facebook.
So much has changed except I still don't own a smart phone.
This is a comment directed to other non-gardener like myself. Cultivating a garden is a form of weed control. Rather than just cutting off the visible green part of the weed such as with a weed wacker that actually enhances weed propagation, the spiked fingers reach underneath the weed roots to expose them to the air so the whole plant will die.
Buck’s weaving could be his happy dance.
Nothing like the feel of bare feet on horse! 🤠🐴
it is one of the best feelings in the world to ride horseback while barefooted !!!!!!!
What you guys have is something so wonderful, that most people can't comprehend! I thank God for you! God bless you and your family!
Lady is a beautiful horse Jim
So enjoyable to watch you all with the horses and farming implements. I’m a newer subscriber in 2022. My grandparents and great grandparents were farmers in rural central Missouri. And I’ve got a photo of great grandparents standing, posing for photo with their horse. Watching you helping me imagine how they worked on their land.
Love your content. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
It’s the same great grandfather that I was named after.
I remember when grandpa would harness the team, and then would set me on one and ground drive the team to the equipment he was going to use. He would get me down and I would walk back to the house and he would go to the field. Great memories, and I just turned 79.
That memory goes back lots of years, thanks for sharing and keeping it alive!
Great job raking Jim
Buck is like "oh boy, oh boy, were going to play today. Hurry up daddy".
Buck is just so excited to work he weaves. Every time I watch, I get more motivated to get land and horses. Love the videos!!
God Bless!!
Hope you can do it!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Love the changes to your UA-cam channel banner. Looks very good who ever did it. Thanks again for sharing!!
Sitting on the horse cross legged. Love it. Cheers
Im listening to how quiet and peaceful this way of farming is. Wonderful!
Looked easy but the great strength of the Horse and Mr Jim made it look that way. Oh and the Lovely Frog Princess did a great job too
Great video Jim Abby and Brenda
Nothing like working in the sun, Fun--Fun.
رحلة السندريلا السعيده بين الطبيعة الخلابة الجميلة بين البسأتين والسماء تمطر عليهم بعد حرث الأرض
It amazes me how those big horses will just stand still until you get them going. well trained for sure.
With that beauty on my Back, her wishes would be my commands, too.
I was about to type the same exact thing. And the follow the commands with no hesitation; its like they want to work.
This video and others are so deeply satisfying -- the sounds, the rhythm and you and your family working with your magnificent horses and the earth. You offer a wonderful window. Thanks so much.
Our pleasure, thanks for watching
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim my like yours works
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim ok💟💙💚💜👌👍💋💋💞💝💘💛💗
I love the smell of new mowed hay
It smells great
40 years may go by, and as soon as the smell hit you, memory comes back at the speed of light .... same with silage. Strange.
@@printaboul you are so right growing up on a small family farm we all helped with haying. The smell of hay is the smell of summer
Qué belleza de caballitos, y se ve que los aman, a ellos les gustan muchos los regalos, un par de manzanas o zanahorias y comienzan a mirar a su alrededor para ver si les van a dar o no, son muy lindos y regalones, gracias.
Thank you team.with that much power the skuffler in no challenge. HA HA HA.
I sure miss the farm. Love your video. Thank you God Bless
🙋🏼♂️ Abby ... Sooooooo nice to C a country girl especially one helping her father around the farm ...

Danke fürs Zuschauen
Always makes my day, when you have a video out
Thanks!
Great job riding the horse Abby
Buck's ready to weave some corn ,,wish we could help too...( He's funny.)
It's always great to watch your horses work. Aby just sits up on lady like she made to do that.. so great see family like that. Great video.
Thanks 👍
The most gorgeous bare-footed farm hand I've seen :-)
Love from Sweden ❤️
This was the first time I’ve ever seen your video I think and I really enjoyed it. I also thought your chicken tractor was quite a nice design and that you should try to sell it or share it on the Internet/UA-cam. I think other farmers could use it! XK yes I don’t wanna pick it up you could just continue to use it as a demonstration for your chickens and guineas. But I really love how you have your free range area fenced in and attached to the for roosting at night as well. Excellent design and I truly enjoyed watching your Percherons work, even though, I would’ve enjoyed seeing them in more detail hooked up in terms of and working for pace and how they respond to your command, but I do recognize that you had company at the time this video was made. Maybe if I go back and look at other videos I’ll find the Percheron so working. They are a magnificent breed oh and they are magnificent at all! I also noticed how beautiful and well manicured your lawn was and so I wanted to comment on that as well so thank you for that beautiful scenery! Just beautiful♥️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Great video as always!👍 Maybe ole Buck is doing his "pre-work" workout like runners do pre-workout stretches!!😄 His weaving is funny! The raked field looked so pretty.
Haha, maybe! Thanks
Good one.Nice job in the garden.Lady and the young lady did great.Also the guy on the handles.Nice to see.
Bình yên và hạnh phúc, thiên nhiên trong lành mát mẻ,,, ôi thật hạnh phúc. Cảm ơn bạn
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Hope y'all are keeping cool in the heat. Thinking of Earl, too.
Thank you!
It's great to see the horses working.
You are wise in your ways and work well together.
Nothing like a real country girl riding a horse in her bare feet
Great camera job Brenda
Jim, Brenda, just watched the horse pull video. One cant be, but in pure awe of the passive nature, raw strength and obedience of these work horses. They are truely amazing. Do they exibit faithfulness to their owners. I'm sure they have their own individual characters. I have never interacted with horses, your videos are are really compelling,
Hi Brenda, great video! Barefoot an bareback riding along helping Dad plow, fun to watch. The horse that sways needs a lil country music in his stall, you could sell tickets to city slickers an tell him he dances hahaha
Hi, haha, that would be funny to put some music to Buck's swaying!
I used to have a 40x60 garden and loved to spend the day out there, miss it
love watching your videos so entertaining
Aah. Bluetooth remote control horsepower. Marvelous. Hehe. Lovely video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful 📸 video
Muy bonita lavida de Rancho
Beautiful girl too
Y bonito caballo y el señor muy ente lijente mejusta mucho sus videos 🙂 Nice,
Lady is unbelievable! She's better than a small tractor, she never steps on a plant. :-) :-) :-)
Well, sometimes she does ;) but not too many. Doesn't seem to bother them too much
Great ,serving basic thing for self and all being
I always planted our rows 4 feet apart so that we could cultivate with the steer.
Yes, our row marker is a bit too narrow. We will have to fix that next year
Trabajo para el papa y el percheron diversion para la niña!
Maybe Buck's weaving is his equivalent to incessantly pawing the ground in anticipation to getting out and working, either way you're smart to pick your battles.
I agree, I think Buck is just excited. He knows he's about to get outside and he's ready to go. I think it's kind of cute.

Hi
Enjoy your videos.
Amy you sure work really great with Lady, very nice to watch you work together ❤
Abby, not Amy. 😄
Sorry Abby
@@russclark3666
No problem Ross.
Jim is nice and Slim from all the physical work he does. Good on yah Jim !
Thanks
I remember pushing an old push plow with a metal wheel in our garden growing up... and I don't think I ever wore shoes except when I had to for school and I'm not that old, LOL! I have to agree with "Big Rigger's" comment that there's just nothing like a pretty, bare footed country girl riding a horse bareback. (well, no saddle in this case at least...) Glad Abby's feeling better and I always love watching the horses work... I like Buck's equivalent of sled dogs jumping up and down and barking with excitement.
Good job guy's .
Oh my that allergy thing doesn't sound good at all. Hope it clears up and Abby is feeling better soon. So glad your daughter was feeling well enough to help Mr. Jim. Seems like work on the farm and in the mill is never done. Would really enjoy a video of all of you taking a little time to yourselves and having some fun. Best wishes for a abundant harvest from your garden. Garden looks great, good job Jim and Abby. Your a good supervisor Mrs. Brenda.
Thanks very much Peter and thanks for the suggestion
You'll make it look so easy so talented You'll make it so much fun to watch!!!💖
Very strong works yours
beautiful
I enjoyed it thoroughly buck cant be good all the time boy they looked good. God bless you all
Yes, Buck is just Buck and he is a good horse. God Bless!
Bare backed and bare footed - I’m in love
wonderful video most enjoyable Jim !
Great team work thank's for sharing
Jim does Buck weave almost all the time? Do you always harness Ken first? Maybe Buck is just getting anxious? If you harness him first maybe that would change his behavior?? Some horses stand quietly for a while and then act like "Hey! You're taking to long! Let's go!" and start pawing. Best to ignore the pawing/weaving rather than reacting to it which seems to act like a reward. He is a good horse. Appreciate you and your family's efforts.
Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing seems like when you bale hay its one of the hottest days! But your glad when its all done and in the barn!
You got that right!
Another enjoyable video, nice to see Abby helping out. and cool to watch her with her cell on lady's back. as for Buck's weaving. I used to be a Hay Dealer, delivered to a lot of stables down state NY, and Ct, and after unloading I would walk thru and check out the horses. and got to see a lot of them with their heads out the stall windows weaving back and forth not too strange to see two or three in a 30-40 horse stable. the ones that used to amaze me, were the Budweiser teams. Seen them down to Ox ridge Hunt club in Ct and had opportunity to walk up to them in their stalls and the thing that amazed me were the size of their heads compared to the jumpers or smaller horses. they wre Huge!. Clydesdales are big!. Thanks again Jim for another great video, Hope Abby's throat is ok. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences. Abby is doing great
For weed control you will find that planting buckwheat does a great job. You can plant half the garden one year and the other half the next year. You will see a big difference with the weeds. Buckwheat is among the first seeds that settlers brought with them for Europe when they started settling our continent. It is also ideal for planting in newly cleared land even in between stumps.
Yes, have heard great things about Buckwheat, may be trying it in the future! Thanks
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Be prepared, Dad found it would reseed and he fought it the next season.
@@kswaynes7569 we still have buckwheat growing all over Port Huron, Michigan, and it hasn't been cultivated here in more than 100 years! We also used to have rhubarb growing wild in backyards but sadly everybody had gotten rid of that by the 1980s...and nowadays people are going to nurseries to buy more because it's come back in style 😂
@@kimfleury Port Huron? Really? Port Huron Twp at the end of Robbins Court is where Dad planted the Buckwheat for organic green manure for our large garden. Graduated from PHHS in 69’.
Presioso lugar y.. Los felicito por ser tan trabajadores y lindo caballo y bendiciones desde Costa Rica y saludos
Hi Jim Bruce from Canada again. I was going to comment on Abby riding barefoot, Thought it might sound odd but then I read the comments I fell off my chair laughing, apparently others thought the same. Abby looks so happy and at home in the country. I Watch all your videos
Thanks for watching!
Surprised me how fast the tilling went once the horse found its tempo. Thanks!
Lady said the dressage not so easy without Jim on the reins, but Jim was real busy, so she caught on what the gig was. Raking was nice, next winter's tucker. (In Aus, tucker=food). Lovely video as always.
Thanks for watching. Tucker- makes sense, thanks for sharing!
Hahahaha,,,buck is fun,,,good old boy
Awesome Awesome thanks for sharing your family farm videos
Thanks for watching!
Another great video. Need more videos of the grandkids!
Weaving is just a soothing habit for anxiety. You can help him by treating him with some ulcer medication, a one month additive to his grain will help heal that up.🌻
Thanks for your suggestion
Good stuff 🙂
Respect
Love this videos
Best treat ever first view, can almost smell that hay. I love these interludes in my day so relaxing. I think the weaver is just excited to go lol how old is he?
Glad you enjoyed, the hay did smell good. Maybe he is just excited. He 20ish
My g-paw worked a garden with a white mule . He used a double shovel to bust the middles out....
Another good video Jim
Sorry you couldn't join us, we had a nice chat. Hope we can talk sometime
Enjoyed the video.
احسنتما الفعل والعمل فى الحقل والزراعة حتى نحصد حصاد الخير يجب أن نعمل بحق احسنتما العمل
as soon as it rains on those rocks in your garden they can sprout and turn into gravel. That way you can have a gravel bed.
haha
Great job!! I’m sorry I couldn’t do the meet and greet today on zoom! I don’t have good enough service for zoom. But would love to chat sometime Jim and pic your brain some
Great job.. 💕💕💕💕 from Pakistan
Thanks for watching from so far away, hope all is well there for you!
Love it.!!! 🌷💖👍🇵🇭
saved this to watch at Sunday lunch time. much enjoyed as always. Hope your voice is OK Abby
Thanks, yes it is better
Your voice sounded fine!!!
Better to have a weaver than a cribber! But I guess he just weaves when you are harnessing him, not all the time. I have had em weave all day long in the stall. I live in Amish county here in Oklahoma, but they use tractors for everything, except for church. On the way to town this morning, on a big ranch here, they were cutting hay on about a half a section of ground. I counted 7 mowers in the field, they were laying down the hay. They will use 3 or 4 balers to bale, round bales of course.
Same situation with Amish in SC Kansas, horse and buggy for church, tractors for everything else. Our area has divided sects, Steelers (steel wheels covered in rubber), Air filled tires, no cabs, third, tractors with cabs plus air conditioning and homes with electric.
@@kswaynes7569 😳 I didnt think they were allowed modern conveniences
@@erikatowle8695 I asked an older Amish, when did tractors start being used in SC Kansas, he thought about the late 30's. Larger acres, required for grain, was more than horses could handle while maintaining a thriving Amish community.
@@kswaynes7569 Makes sense, thank you for answering
@@erikatowle8695 Can't hold a community together if they can't produce.
Good video ! from Montreal 👍👍👍
Awesome thank you!
Hi Abby do love to ride the horses when you can while your dad's working them.
