What a true sign of respect and trust!! Will going back to the person he KNEW would give him honest, useful guidance, and Jim’s willingness to take time away from his logging job to go with Will to help! Please. If possible, follow up with Will and his team on the progression they make with Jim’s advice and coaching!
I think it is Jim's endless love for, kindness to, and patience with, horses that makes him so great. He even loves horses that are not his own. It's easy to see why Jim's horses love him so much. Jim is a master. Excellent camera work as always, Brenda! Thanks for the video! 👍👍🐴🐴
Would love to see a follow-up on the horses AND the student. Sometimes the human needs a little more fine tuning, especially while trying to get a job done. Thanks for taking us along on the lesson.
What a pleasure it is to witness true horsemen in action. Trying to figure out the problem and improve things without getting upset with the horses or blaming them for everything. So many of horse problems are actually people problems. It’s so great that Will reached out to Jim for help. And it’s so great that Jim is able to lend his expertise. Jim really knows the small things that can make a difference between the horses performing well vs. having glitches pop up that some people might not notice. Great job, guys! I love these mares. They are so pretty the way they match. Even the stars on their heads are shaped similarly.
I think it all as to do whit your up brining i was raise around machine like tractor trucks and its all natural to me dont know nothing about horses but i like to watch and apreciate that
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Jim: you’re a true teacher! You say that you tend to sometimes “mumble” but I’ve noticed that you enunciate perfectly and speak with precision when you are in teaching mode. Not everyone who is an expert practitioner can pass that information onto others. You actually do!
Hi Jim, your knowledge about working with horses is really impressing. Also when seing you driving these two horses which are not yours is really great. Farm on, Andreas
Release pressure in the mouth as soon as they are doing what you want. Jim immediately figured it out. A master of his trade. Will and his horses are already a great team, but of course, there is always something to learn and improve for all of us 👍
It took me a while with horses to figure this out... Jim shows how it works perfectly. Pull then release = reward to horses. Pulling reins is a command. They keep moving trying to figure out what you want. In this case, when you get the "whoa", release the pressure. If they move, apply the pressure. As soon as they stand, release. The release is the reward. They will quickly get the idea. Also, horses are individuals too, no two the same. Some are more sensitive to than others. To Will, Raven may be picking up on your lack of confidence in her. That makes her not confident in you. It will take time to work her out of it but she is trying to please you. A team needs to trust each other to work well together. The driver is part of the team. You're being hard on yourself. You are much better at team driving than are giving yourself credit for!
The gentlemen needs to remember everything Jim is saying because it makes sense.lts no good at all if the gentlemen is going to get stressed,l could see and hear him getting worked up.Be patient have LOTS of patience and Jim's advice will pay of ten fold.lts not an couple of days fix it might take a month but you will get there hopefully.good luck.Nothing really wrong wi5h the horses just a bit keen to get the work done.The thing he is sitting on doesn't look safe at all and he's a big gentlemen.Great video thankyou for sharing,all the very best dear friends..
I feel like the Raven mare gets hot with micromanagement. like the more often you ask her the same question the more worried she gets. also, Tess, doesn't always engage immediately when you ask her to step up, I almost wonder if being hitched with a colder horse is making raven frustrated? it is so nice to watch you all figuring this out, we used "brain straps" with one perch mare who was off a show hitch, such a different temperament than working lines.
Many people don't realize that it's a sensitive mouth at the ends of the reins and are not driving a car ..that live animal has feelings. They may be anticipating pain
This was a fantastic follow up training session. I really enjoyed the respect y’all have for each other as student & teacher as neighbors & fellow logger. This is excellent content… BRAVO 🎈
We used to say he drives with a "heavy hand". When the lines are always tight, the horses pick up every twitch, and react to it. Seems like they are responding much better to a light touch!! Command and release is what I was always taught!! The horse needs to know there is a difference
@@jimcour291 That's not my saying somebody like Ray Hunt or Tom Dorance came up with that saying. It doesn't have anything to do with the size of the horse. lol. Maybe to expanded it a little..... Soft hands make a soft mouthed horse and Heavy hands make a heavy mouthed horse.
Excellent instruction soft soft hands. Release is the horses reward for doing the correct thing. And proper rigging. I am surprised at the lack of safety gear on the men. No hard hats, ear muffs, chaps wow
@@Ashestoashespetcrematory Exactly the release is where the horse learns what the right answer is to the pressure. In this case all the guy wanted was the horse to stand still. When the horse went forward the guy pulled back on the lines (pressure) the second the horse stopped he needed to release the pressure. By continuing to pull when the horse stopped the horse had no idea stopping and standing still was the right answer.
Jim you are a great teacher of people and trainer of horses. Great job working with Will on learning how to control himself and the horses. Watching you takes me back to when my grandfather taught me to work with horses. He always told me I was in control of how the horse responded. If I got worked up they will get worked up. Thanks for sharing. Definitely would like to see an update on how Will is doing down the road sometime
In my younger years I rehomed retired Greyhounds and I walked Greyhounds that were waiting to be rehomed that were still in trainers kennels ..I found that tension on the leads would spook the dogs. The more relaxed I was the more relaxed they were...I used to walk four at a time they had never been walked out the kennels before, I never raised my voice to them just kept quiet and relaxed....if they got spooked they could have easily have pulled me over...Best wishes from Nottingham England UK 🇬🇧
Jim,nice to see you’ve already had some horse time with Will, and glad to see Will is very open minded. Your pointers will help Will for sure over time and hope you can check his logging again and as a viewer we would love to see any out come to the lesson. A salute to Jim and Will for this video!
You Both / all Jim , Will , Chuck .... Have regard for each other . when Will gave Jim thanks Too Being a better Chainsaw Man ;) Love . Good on You Jim Gordan for Helping Will .
The owner needs to have a few more lessons on driving his team, good horses, but needs experienced man to drive the team but he’s learning and he needs to know that the horses are doing their best, keep working him, Helping him with his team, thank you Jim
I think it is just a matter of patient training for horses to stand instead of nervously fidgeting around. The teamster himself has to curb his own impatience to get the work done. Jim is giving the correct advice. My own horses were like that for a while until I realized that I made them walk too soon after I had hooked them up to an implement. And they were trained when bought them! Letting them stand longer changed their behavior. On a different note: Will's horses are good horses and they are a very convenient size as one can reach the buckles over their backs without having to step on a ladder.
That is a beautiful team of horses. I hope they can be more confident and trusting after your tutoring. They look like they are second guessing when backing up 👍👍😁
Hello Jim, Brenda, Will and Buck. Love this one, Jim your experience makes you a great teacher. With your input I'm sure will have Tess and Raven working with confidence and a much steadier team.
When I see you with that team and driver it shows something very important.and that is confidence.because Jim has so much experience he exudes confidence.The horses pick up on that right through the lines.Not taking anything away from the other fellow he just doesn’t have the experience that Jim has.And like in the part one video they talked about tone of voice.Jim’s voice and demeanour are calming and reassuring such a great teamster
So wonderful to see you and Will trying to to work with the horses’ difficulties. The release is so crucial-then they stop and think, it gives them that time to lick and chew and digest the thought…hope you can show us updates with his team!
Fantastic video! Coming from my previous experience with saddle horses, having someone else looking at the particular problem you might be having with your horse(es) is so valuable! An extra set of eyes to see what you don’t is such a help! Would love to see a follow up video too. Thanks for your educational and endearing videos.
So often a problem horse is actually a rider/driver or equipment problem. Pretty interesting how the horses understand the verbal signals even though Jim uses different words than their owner. Reminds me that one of my teachers used to say that what you’re thinking is more important than what you’re doing or saying. Another fun day in the woods with Jim and Brenda.
I'm so happy your willing to help him. he has good intentions just needs assistance with communicating with his horse team so they can become a great team. With your help they will be a great team in no time.
Ok, so it was a combination of things, the horses got excited and the reins were too tight, without releasing the pressure. And it was creating a never-ending loop of rising nervousness. Being calm and collected is key in working with animals ;)
Will is so keen to learn but very much a worrier. Calm yourself Will and remember Jim's advice in each and every moment in the woods. You've a great pair of horses there, give them the chance to show you just how great. 😘
It seems horses really pick up on energy of people, with a few corrections, great team. It would be cool if JI'm used Will's horses for a day or 2 (in the woods)and Will used Jim's team for a day. Then they could cross train, but the liability a little tricky. Sometimes we have to go all the way back to the beginning and fundamentals in any discipline, as well as horses I suppose. Thank you Gentlemen.and Brenda also. (The horses take their energy out, in the fight, if one can turn that energy to pulling that would be great, I wish Will success).
Was wonderful to see this so quick!! Such a nice team , think it's wonderful will asked for the help and you where kind enough to help him ❤️ they're really great just need to take the time at first asking them to stand and release I know it's tough because you're trying to produce hut in the long run it'll be so much better
Yep, sometimes it's tuff for an established Man to ask for help in front of his wife and son and his horses, but Will put his Man pants on here, and better team for it.
I like how Jim went around and straightened out the mess with the lines @ 5:35 while his "student" was otherwise preoccupied. I hope this fellow doesn't ruin a really nice team.. or get himself hurt! That team really doesn't need to be polled. To me.... He just doesn't have the "touch". In the other video, Jim offered to Buy that team....I think that was an act of compassion.
But the difference here is Will has humbled himself and is asking for advice. He's doing the right thing for the team because he obviously loves them. We all start at the beginning..
So cool to see the concept of learning from pressure and release works across all disciplines period. The equine brain is the equine brain. Loved today!
Very interesting watching Jim share his knowledge with Will and us. In spite of what Jim says about his teaching ability my observation is that he is an excellent teacher. Will seems to be a great student and I appreciate him sharing with us. I think Jim might be a horse whisperer. I really enjoyed this episode and hope to see an update in the future. Thanks.
His cart seems awkward to get on and off and use. Yours seems so user friendly. They just need some time and patience. A further follow up video would be great. Thanks all
Jim, Brenda, great video. Hi to Will, Jim you are the teacher, and great horseman. with a little fine tuning, everything will work out. Hi to the family, GOD BLESS, Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Jim is a very helpful man and in one with the horses and what he explains with the line's is so true as ever another knowledge tutorial by Jim and camera lady brenda perfect skills have a day stay safe Halifax England 🇬🇧
I think this was a great video for all of us. as well as Will, and to see the horses doing more what Will said they were doing in the woods was a learning curve for all involved . You Can't fix it, if it ain't broke. But here we could see and experience what Will was saying and even Jim could not see and experience the problem first hand and then he could evaluate what needed to be done and what would help. But the one thing all way round is patience for both horse and man. it's a dual learning curve great Video all way round thanks for sharing. ECF
Thank you for the follow-up! Great video! I come from a dog training background and love to see other animals working/training. We are all learning everyday.
Thanks for these 2 videos Jim/Brenda & Will/Buck. I always learn more when things aren’t going perfectly. I ought to be an expert at something by now! Seriously though, Tess and Raven seem to be learning nicely. Practice makes perfect.
If you can stop the mare jumping into the collar, and have a more even pull between the two, it will help her hold her weight better as she is moving the load on her own to start with, so burning up a lot of energy. I would like to say they are a lovely team and you look after them very well and are very concise of there well being a good owner
It'.s great to see the use of horses on the increase! Also really useful for me as I'm starting ground driving driving 2 ponies together.. with no local mentor
Hi Jim, watch both horses with each of the new Adjustments horses were chewing and learning new Adjustments, also learning what they can get away with for easier life. Think some of their movements are just bad habits. They look like working great. 💪 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
Great job Jim for helping with the horses 🐎 , they shore wanted to get up and go , getting them to stand a go when you wanted them to move NOT go when they wanted to go, having control on the horses , just a few changes they will get better ok thanks for sharing , Brenda for doing the camera work 👍 cheers you all
Just an observation from the outside, I would like to see Will give clearer commands. He commands them like they are people. It's easy to do but to them the commands are not clear and possibly frustrating. Jim is very clear in his commands to his horses.
Yep I think that training is a good topic and well covered in this video. Marvelous camera work, I had to really listen though when Jim was carrying the camera and walking out behind the hitch. Thanks for all your effort.
Jim, you subtly enjoined Will with the concept of pressure and release horse training when you suggested he apply reins and release immediately when the horses respond)....hopefully he can apply throughout the training of his team.

Dad always claimed that patience with horses was very impotant. Your so good with horses Jim , I love watching you work them.
Remember, patience is a virtue, especially with animals !!
@@johnking8679 And calmness too.
Daddy put a stick across my nose and put pressure on it from behind I really understood the importance of that release after that
Jim a very nice video, with your advice and some more time pulling logs, I believe Will can have the team he wants.
What a blessing to have mentor like Jim. Jim is a wealth of knowledge!!! Blessings

This is a good looking team, driver is still learning and has the luck of having a good teacher
I love how they look in field but nothing more amazing looking then teem of horses in the woods

Very well said.
The immediate difference in how quiet they were standing when he gave them full release on the reins is amazing
Jim is such a good teacher. That's why Will says he wants to be like him when he grows up. I love it! I enjoyed this video as always 💕🐎
So glad to hear you talk about release. We never need to tell a person to pull but they all need to be told to push the lines or reins.
I feel like the Raven mare gets hot with micromanagement. like the more often you ask her the same question the more worried she gets. also, Tess, doesn't always engage immediately when you ask her to step up, I almost wonder if being hitched with a colder horse is making raven frustrated? it is so nice to watch you all figuring this out, we used "brain straps" with one perch mare who was off a show hitch, such a different temperament than working lines.

Got my calendar!! Glad I wasn’t to late! (story of my life!)
Jim I really enjoy your horse man ship. You do a great job of explaining.
great help Jim
nice,,,and we like it when you help others
Backing in not a normal movement in the horse. It is truly amazing to see them back so far.
Loved when Will said "I'm not rich, but I make enough money to pay my bills." I hope if he's married, his wife appreciates him.
What’s very complex is the way the driver will relax when he feels that he has better control and the more he relaxes the more the horses relax.

Pressure, release, feel and timing. Wish mine was a whole lot better. lol

Hi Jim, watch both horses with each of the new Adjustments horses were chewing and learning new Adjustments, also learning what they can get away with for easier life. Think some of their movements are just bad habits. They look like working great. 💪 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
Calm and Patience works wonders with horses
Great job Jim for helping with the horses 🐎 , they shore wanted to get up and go , getting them to stand a go when you wanted them to move NOT go when they wanted to go, having control on the horses , just a few changes they will get better ok thanks for sharing , Brenda for doing the camera work 👍 cheers you all
Just an observation from the outside, I would like to see Will give clearer commands. He commands them like they are people. It's easy to do but to them the commands are not clear and possibly frustrating. Jim is very clear in his commands to his horses.
Excellent video Jim and Brenda learned more about the different lines 👍
Great video
I think if he practices pulls back & then release, and make them stand, they'll be good! Jim, The Horse Whisperer!!
I have never worked with horses but I can see how well YOUR advice wll workJIM.
Yep I think that training is a good topic and well covered in this video. Marvelous camera work, I had to really listen though when Jim was carrying the camera and walking out behind the hitch. Thanks for all your effort.
Excellent advice from a pro!
Jim your a good friend an very knowledgeable always nice to have in your coner have a day love from TEXAS
Well Sir your knowledge is irreplaceable hope you continue to share
Jim, you subtly enjoined Will with the concept of pressure and release horse training when you suggested he apply reins and release immediately when the horses respond)....hopefully he can apply throughout the training of his team.
Nice to have a good friend to help out :)
Get a good equine dentist to put some bit seats on the those number 6 molars, might help you tremendously, good luck guys!
Horses learn from the release not from pressure
