Those colts are so handsome! I can already tell they’re going to be magnificent all grown up! ❤
I just found you and love draft horses. Those two little ones are beautiful. You sound like a common sense person. We need more of that.
Thank you for the kind words Laura and I appreciate you watching! Dave
you are so kind and gentle to your horses, 🐎🐎🐴🐴! Thank you 🙋♀️🌞🌻
Thank you lotti
Tail docking means they can’t switch away flies. Thank you for the update. I’m enjoying this with a nice cup of tea. 💕
Yes, very cruel thing to do :(
Exactly right, not a big fan at all but I may be able to braid a tail on them to help with flies next season. I'll drink an Earl Grey with a spot of cream please! Dave
@@bdradley1 we would love a video of that!
great video...north polk county FL...safe but 90 % pasture under water...
Thank you Scott, glad your safe and hopefully water subsides soon. Your welcome here if need be! Dave
Good afternoon Dave and thankyou for sharing.Yes l seen her back up for more grooming ❤
@@joycehennequin8469 yes they are such sweet girls, they have grown out of most of their childish antics!
Well said! I tend to talk to folks in lineups at stores etc
Sometimes I get a funny look
But generally it goes well
I’m 67 so I remember when the phone was attached to the wall.
Horse wise, they will tell you if you only listen
I keep a soft hand on my horse and if he will tense up I’ll know before it gets out of hand
Easy and quiet
@@valsummers5330 exactly right Val. Thank you I appreciate it! Dave
They are looking and doing great 👍, also you are 100 percent correct about helping one or another.
Thank you Paul! Dave
I noticed you standing behind her and thinking you must trust them a lot. Sweet horses.
@@jennymcgraw855 absolutely 100%. They are very predictable
I love all percherons, they are so well behaved and gentle. I do notice though that their feet are starting to crack up , so they are ready for a trim. Will you be videoing the farrier visit soon?
Farrier comes every 7 weeks, he will be here soon. I have done several videos on trims but will definetely do another next time as the girls will get shod on front and the boys will get their first trim!
@@bdradley1 Thankyou I look forward to that next video. I drove Percheron cross horses. 16.3hh and 17.2hh commercially seven days a week and so we needed a farrier every 5 weeks. When we packed the business in a farrier charged £50 per horse for new shoes, so I dread to guess what they charge now.
@@HelenW-w3t Folks are always wanting me to do pay jobs but then it becomes work and I really just enjoy pleasure driving when I want. I’m retired twice and on disability from the Veterans Administration so I can drive when I want, not because I have to. It’s super expensive to shod a draft nowadays, about $300 !!!!!!!!
Thank you 🙌🫶🙏
Call me ignorant, but I don’t know of any society that requires tail docking.
Mostly societies require tails plaited for showing.
Tail docking is preemptive for when they’re older and then no tails get caught in gates, doors or in swiggle/swindle trees or chains etcetera.
That’s how it works in Australia anyhow, and tail docking is also now outlawed in Australia.
Love the new colts, as a newbie also to droughts (Clydesdales for us) I like watching someone else new to droughts and and who has a few trails and errors.
Stay safe in the storms.
Thank you
Well-said, you!
Buckle down, buddy. Always welcome here in Ohio if you need to escape round two.
My perspective, Max is left brain sensitive; might consider switching the boys in the stand stalls so max can have left eye open to the pasture area. It might help develop both sides of brain. Just an observation he stands with his left side towards the barn. wall.
Thx John I appreciate it. Actually supposed to be up there this week but these guys kept me here. I'll be back in March for sure.
Do you know why the Amish got rid of these young ones? Titus looks like he’s going to be very tall. Love that you rescued them and they have a wonderful home!❤❤❤
Good progress. Baby steps. Next week work on picking up feet.
Good Morning, those boys are looking good.
Well said,it's a sad world that we live in now.
God Bless stay safe.
Thx Kevin and good to hear from you!
Great comments, you are a real American, thank you.
I live about thirty minutes from Savannah and I know a lot of them are still without power. My elderly neighbor had a tree completely crush her car and a section of her roof. She’s still without power and I’m just so grateful that ours came back on within 48 hours.
@@JovieStroll-f8t yes it’s sad, we didn’t not realize how dependent we are with power until we go without
Don’t realize
@@bdradley1 completely agree! 👍 Glad you and your horses stayed safe!
So look forward to your comments and content , very informative. Appreciate your wealth ofknowledge as well as your abundance of wisdom. Thank you Sir… 🇺🇸🦅
What did I miss??? I haven't seen these Belgians. I am subscribed. Please let me know the story of these Belgians
@@mishloud4215 I wondered where you’ve been. Picked up last week. There’s 2 shorts and 1 video all on channel where you should be able to catch up. Went to TX and got them, 5 months old today and tomorrow. Let me know if you can’t find videos on channel. Thx
Has a vet checked that cough?
Yes vet is aware of cough but due to age they are wanting to wait for any vaccines or antibiotics until 6 months of age. Until then we are monitoring and are hoping it clears up on its own, being kept away from the other horses it is much better than a when I picked them up. Thx
Morning. 5 day and the Boys are filling out nicely
The training is coming on.
And the Girls look So Pretty.
Stay Safe Brother 😎
Thx as always Andy! Hope all is well down under!
@@bdradley1 You Stay Safe Brother
Here in the North of England it seems like its never going to stop Raining. 🌧
The Boys are in the right place. 🤙
Roll on the next vlog 😎
@@andrewthornton1945 I was thinking you were in Australia for some reason? Yes I’ve heard trains a little there and we never seem to have enough! Have a great weekend!
Those two sure are going to be big boys. Just to think they are already so tall at only 5 months old... I'd even add that both natural disasters and any kind of traumatic incident brings people together. 911 is a good example of that. The nation was actually united for a while after that ordeal. There's a lot of thick smoke around here from surrounding wildfires. But, it sure is nothing compared to what everyone in the hurricane path is and will be dealing with. Glad you were safe through Helene. I guess the nation will see in the morning the damage Milton does. Take care.
@@l-bird thank you lbird I appreciate it
The Amish community has kept that community aspect of loving each other as family and taking care of each other. We sit and watch our Amish friends and see a glimpse of how the world use to be. I will say tho here in Missouri at least people wave at every single person they drive bye. That was not a thing in Washington. Disaster could strike any one of us at any time. And being alone during that is not good.
Well said, I am at such peace after my trips to Amish land in Ohio. I have done several videos on it and it is so refreshing every time I go! Thx
Either its dry feed or Titus has a cough ..Try damping the feed down . Stress of moving can give foals all sorts of minor problems but they seem to be doing wel😊
@@pixie706 he definitely picked up a cough in the whole transition process. They both have actually but it’s getting better, vet doesn’t want to give any vaccines or antibiotics until 6 mth old which is a month away. It is being monitored until then. Thx for watching!
