LADY & BARON... Will they BEHAVE when Working Together??? // Training Draft Horses!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- We are doing some more training with our Suffolk Punch draft horse stallion, Baron. Today we are putting Lady & Baron together and seeing if they will behave when working together! In our last video, we saw that they didn't get along well in the pasture together, so we will see how this goes!! We also share how things are at the farm with the horses, since the death of our Percheron horse Buck. We show how the horses are faring and where Buck was buried. Today we are using Lady and Baron to feed the cows and clear the sleigh ride trail.
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!

Lady made me laugh so much in the beginning, whenever Baron is anywhere near her, the ears go back, but as soon as he's gone, ears forward, happy days! 😂 Poor Baron lol. I love that she temporarily calls a truce once hitched as she knows it's time to work, so funny, she's an awesome mare, can't wait to see her foal.
Lady's really mad at Baron. "Look what you did to me! I'm losing my figure!" 😁😆🤣
I'm so excited for MISS Lady's foal 💝💖
I totally forgot to do this, how clumsy of me. My family and I wish to pass along our condolences to you and your family due to the loss of your beautiful horse.
Baron has beautiful face. He is coming along. Lady is cranky. Perhaps she needs to do more light work. It is coming along. Jim has a way with the horses. It is a big change for all.
Nice to see you working with this horse .do you now you have a verry relaxing voice. Thanks for sharing with us
The cat is meowing because it wants pets and attention. :-)
From the drivers position the horses look similar in size, but Lady really is bigger (not only round) than Baron. Lady is going to protect that foal like CRAZY ! I think the stray cat is meowing just to say Here I am, thanks for looking after me ! I still feel so sad when I think of Buck, but you are right Jim, its what happens on a farm and working with animals. Been there done that ! Thanks for the video, look after yourselves out there.
Thanks again for sharing your video. With all the snow, I was even C.O.L.D. on today's jaunt !! Hopefully, Lady and Baron can get along. After Lady has her baby delivered, I'm sure she'll be VERY protective of her foal !! So Baron, you better behave yourself or you'll be subjected to a "mother's rage" and you'll KNOW what a real kick is !!
good picture of momma lady and baby 's daddy for nx yr....
I think Bill and Baron would be a good match, love them Belgian s love them colts they all beautiful

This video is pure Love ♥️
Wonderful video. Lady and Baron worked nicely together and what ever you did for your microphones in the wind worked. Even though it was very windy, your voices came through clear and unobstructed. Better than I've heard on anyone elses videos in the wind. Great job!
Nice to see Lady and Baron working well together. She did have some "bad ears" when they were being hitched up - but then just went to work. Peaceful video - horses working in the snow. The wind in their tails looks cold.
Bless buck rip 🙏 🕊
I think your girls ought to go in there and sing to them a peaceful easy song....(just something that came into my spirit).
Thank You for your wonderful videos.
The kitty wants to held, and petted.. to say thanks for feeding me !
Poor Lady the only lady among all the boys... and pregnant for the first time. Buck is gone, ken has been moved ... she says yeah am going to be crabby!!!
Baron he is just clueless 🙄
Love watching Jim working the horses. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and the horses
Are you going to get a replacement for the one you lost
Woohoo baron! Looks like a grouchy and hormonal lady lol but she’s gonna do her job! The test of a very well broke horse
Aww I think they are all missing buck..the cats are wonderful and friendly 😊
I can now see how Lady is looking a bit fuller around her waist, I must say with the wind chill and putting up with a co worker that is a teenager I can see why she is in a poor mood. She doesn't like change. It will teach Barron his place also.
It seems like the more Baron is worked the happier and more "right headed" he gets. Suffolks really are an amazing horse.
Ooh grouchy mare!!! At least she knows when you tell her to behave she is in harness that is what is expected. I love how she settles down when working.
That Lady can pin her ears as flat as my cat, Alice, does when she's mad! The second Jim walked her past Baron in the barn, those ears laid flat down! And she was too stubborn and grouchy to even get a drink of water!😘 Just as Jim said, once she got in her "work mode" she and Baron did very well together it looked like! Brenda, I think that little kitty is just one that likes to "talk"! Two of my cats are so quiet you'd never know they were around. On the other hand, my third cat meows all the time, it's just his nature. Nothing's wrong, he just likes to "talk"! Can't tell you how much I think of sweet Buck. Every time I look at the February picture on my calendar, I see Buck and Ken at the cabin. I always thought them being solid black, they made such a beautiful team to do sleigh rides with the snow on the ground and tree branches. I'd say sweet Ken mourns for his friend and stablemate, Buck. It's sad, and they all feel a sense that it isn't the same right now. I hope next year's calendar will have a tribute to Buck with lots of full-size pictures of him!!!
Life is full of change, eh? That snow couldn't have come at a better time for a huge team-change IMO. someone's lookin' out :). Lady is being a witch, isn't she?? But Jim told her "you're in harness!!", and put them together in the most sensible way. Working Lady and Baron together, in the snow (so kind to young bones and heavy ladies), she teaches him, and at the first I was watching the eveners--they looked pretty even! love watching :)
Like 2 kids in the backseat, Baron the little brother, trying to irritate Lady, his big sister. He doesn't actually "do" anything to her, but he leans and reaches . . . just like my little brother, a pest!❤️🥰🥰🥰
Brenda you are the best cinematographer of everyone on utube.👌
Both of you have an amazing ability to create great videos.
I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, the whole time you had Baron and Lady together. 🦞👍🏻
That’s pretty nervous. 😊😊
So nice to be on the farm today. Nice to see Lady, and Baron working together. But I have to tell you, when I saw Lady's ears go back , I though there was going to be trouble. God Bless, Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada, Stay Safe!
I had no worries about Lady and Baron working as a pair. Jim, you are so conscientious in your training and handling your horses. Job well done!
♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓
Couple of questions. When is Lady due to foal? When weaned will you keep the foal? When will Baron reach full height and weight? How long before you do serious training on the young Suffolk colts? Will you keep them? How long does it take to train a compliant horse for optimum usefulness or is it an ongoing process?
Your videos are so insightful and educational. You teach what works for you and don't push it on other horse owners. But you don't hesitate to ask viewers for helpful hints and practices. In my book, that makes you a great teacher and responsible horse owner.
May for the foal. As for keeping it, well Jim has just unfortunately lost a very good horse and horses don't get any younger. It takes a long time to train a horse and you should not work them until they are old and mature enough. You need enough trained horses to carry out the work that you need to do and you need some slack in your system. Horses are not always able to work. Baron is in training and doing light work. The skeleton of a horse does not become mature until around six years of age though some mature later at eight years or even later. Draft horses mature later than light horses but some drafts mature a little quicker than others and the Suffolk Punch is one of these. For Baron you are probably looking at two and a half years. The young colts are already being trained.
The loss of Buck has come at a most unfortunate time. Jim has work to do with the animals that he has and though he should manage it will not be straight forward as we can see. His time will be under pressure and I for one am grateful that between them they, both Jim and Brenda, are trying to keep people informed.
Lady is my spirit animal 😂
I'm rather impressed by the audio. It's funny you should mention it because I was just watching the horses tails that seem to be saying that it was windier than the audio was letting on.
Awe I still love them all!! But I think Lady is acting like a Queen now!! Lol
I'm impressed at how you make it look easy to keep these two horses in line!! I actually feel tension as I watch!! 🤣 Like I could do anything from my chair! 🤣🤣 I love your videos!!
I felt just the same ,Lady's ears showed how she was feeling about Baron ,I was worried what would happen. Best wishes from England UK 🇬🇧
The cat wants attention that’s why it’s meowing
Good morning Jim & Brenda relaxing ride .😊
You guys work so hard, yet you're so patient with your horses. Time for a hot drink and a piece of pie!
It’s so nice that you can bury Buck on the farm, here in Scotland we are not aloud to bury our fallen stock at home they all go to be cremated, the likes of our smaller animals dogs and cats we can bury on the farm. Lady and Barron worked very well together Lady is looking tremendously well I can’t wait to see her baby it’s so exciting Take care God bless
Kitty wants attention, but is probably too scared to accept it. Lady is NOT amused. She'll be a lot better off for the work though. She'll foal easier for being fit, and clean faster too. My horses all knew their names, and when I was breaking a colt, I would call that colt by name before I told them to walk on, so he wouldn't get caught flatfooted. Another alterative is to give him a tap with the line just before you tell them to go, so he's paying attention.
So nice to see you two together enjoying working the farm! More couples should do that and probably would if time and other commitments allowed.
They did great Jim and Brenda
Baron is so beautiful! But Lady is my favorite - don't tell the others!! lol
Sometimes just putting one foot in front of the other is all that can be done in times of Loss …. Good to see all of you doing just that! 🐴💕
Good evening Jim and Brenda,l thought that went well,wow lt looks so cold 🥶 all the very best dear friends 💞
Can't wait for lady to have her baby!!
You mentioned in a previous video about struggling with problems with resistance to dewormers. It's tough to know what to do. I hate to give advice, because parasite problems are not always easy to fix. But you can use some simple natural preventative ways to go along with your dewormers. Though it is not the full answer, Garlic paralyzes parasites and causes them to pass on through. But you have to administer once a month around a full moon, for a few days, every month, because new parasites will hatch then. I also have had good experiences using garlic for colds. After grinding garlic and putting it in molasses and giving it to a horse that had severe upper respiratory problems; and watching how within an half hour her mucus turned from green to clear, I knew I hit on something. I gave garlic/molasses every four hours for a few days; she came out of it very well. I also gave her dried rosehips (Very high in Vita C). Generally they eat the rosehips right out of my hand, but you can grind them up and mix with grain or molasses. Strong Thyme tea is one I use for fungus and killing bacteria. For example if your animal has a mite that feeds on bacteria, a bath with strong Thyme tea will kill bacteria that the mite feeds on. And if the mite lives on blood, then garlic every four hours will kill the mite when he drinks blood full of garlic power.. Vinegar also is a parasite preventative. Many homesteaders put it in their livestock's water. All these things can help keep the number of parasites down and help your dewormers do their job better.. And these simple remedies can help prevent impaction which can happen when too many parasites die at once too quickly.
My great grandfather did the same thing, only with mules. He was a 16 year old teamster when Civil War broke out. He stayed in the whole 4 years ! I know because my grandfather told me.
Baron will be a fine horse
I think Lady & Baron done great together & I am sure the snow they had to go thru kinda helped. They may not get along in the pasture together, but once they have their harness on they both know it's time to work. Moving forward with them is important & them get their work done is important too!! God Bless
Kitty probly needs to know shes loved and respected too. Petting will help. Leaving a radio on NPR helps too. Horse ppl and ferel cats (Unsjpayed) seem to just go hand nd hand. Its sad. Thats life. Hang in there or SPAY N NUETER THEM. Hope it can go more smoothly for them. Lady was spunky today, glad she gets working smoothly. Glad you keep her fit. Take care, God bless yas
If your putting the stallion by the water trough, u may want to put a barrier up so your horses are not harrassed and can drink in peace
Great video as always. Baron is coming along very nice
The cold weather should firm up things down in that hollow by the big pines.
Glad Brenda's knee feeling better, self physical therapy the best , surgery last resort if needed. Hopefully you can avoid those bucket handle tears.. "Your faith has healed you".. Seems out of sinc with Ole Buck layed to rest,, I watch how Jim , you deal with things as there is alot to learn if one chooses to pay attention. I appreciate you pushing forward, please take it easy and be content with the little steps, well, ha, that is one thing you teach me also. Baron is up to a 2 full scoops now in the honey wagon . Ah ha.😄, ok.. Thank you and see you soon down in the hollow, my favorate. :-) Thank you friends,, now to see Abby after a little work.
Lady I have to work with that so and so!😆😆
Good for Lady:)!!!
Baron was definitely taking advantage of being harnessed next to Lady. Getting in some good sniffs! 😅
Watching Lady kick at Baron out in the yard ... he better keep up on his child support payments 😄
Dang right!!!
😂😂😂
Thank you for showing us where Buck was laid to rest. I think he should have a grave marker. I sure miss him too. So sad, Poor Ken must be lost.
"Baron is getting tired." Working in the deep snow is surely a good thing for him, he'll learn he's got to pace himself, eh.
Lady seemed to not drink with Baron right there.
Our cat does the same thing!!! I swear she does it just to be annoying, she just stares at us and meows over and over and over and over....it's especially wonderful at 4 AM when she wants let out!
Bliss when our animals get along well but it is well to remember things can change in a heartbeat. Lady is getting crankier as Jim states and I can relate to being pregnant and having my ears laid back most of the time before delivery!]
Thank you Jim and Brenda . You two and the horses have adapted better then me . I love all of the teams human and horses❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad to know Brenda’s knee is better. Deep snow makes these two work better together. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴
Lady your growing out of britchen that's were all my baby weight went to 😂 love from Texas
Hello Jim and Brenda. It's amazing how the loss of an animal really impacts the other animals.
awesome to see again,,the best of the archives...❤❤
It looked like the eveners were pretty even the whole time... I'm excited to see her baby!
🐎🐎 we don’t get much snow here in the UK anymore so it’s nice to see people having fun deep snow 😍👏🏼👏🏼
Great video
With everything that's going on... and Lady seems positively hormonal with those pinned ears. Not for amateurs. This is very suspenseful. Thank you thank you again for you are my all time favorite channel. Love. Showing us where Buck was buried was very moving, y'all. I cried.
Good morning! What a nice way to start our day, a sled ride! Yes, looks like Lady's not enjoying pregnancy and work much lately; can't remember her age, but I know she's getting on for a first-time mother. Even in foal, a healthy mare needs a bit of exercise, though, so it's just as well you need her alongside Baron. Some of her crankiness might just be her way of setting boundaries with Baron, making sure he doesn't expect a "cover" every time she's near. I bet if she was in a herd with other mares, she'd be the lead. Am I right? Any experiences pasturing her with other mares?
I saw a video a while back of a British fellow who drove a triad of horses--across, troika style. 1 mare in heat between 2 stallions. Oodles of flirting, but nothing serious. Straight port rubber bits, too!
Branda and Jim love your videos keep up the great work 👍 love from Central London ❤
The horses seem to be making the best of there situation. Blessings
The best shows to watch all day and evening are one of the next three. Working with horses or one called Hidded Heights where they have herds of goats and 3 guard dogs
kitty just wants some love😽💋
great audio and video is awesome..feels like our own sleigh ride💕,thanks
Was so sorry to hear about your loss of buck I have lost a pleasure Horse the same way
Another great video. Just a FYI if you haven't seen it already there is a documentary called "Clydesdale Saving The Greatest Horse (2020)". Really interesting.
Cows walking on the sled path was cool. Very enjoyable video. Carries me away. Fascinating to see the snow & love watching you as a farm couple work together & the horse teams. R.I.P to all the good horses you've had that are buried there on your farm.
Lady is feeling her oats!😂 just a little feisty is all!!
I just love y'all. It's Annette from East Texas.. We had an ice storm last week... It was... Well, it was not.. fun! I think Lady and Baron did phenomenally well together, I guess you could say they're officially hitched!! That was nice to see your horses grave yard and to remember the ones who've since passed on from your working farm before hand..I have one too! All my beloved horses..I still miss them, it's always a transition. Ciao
Baron is standing remarkably well on his side of the pole near the beginning of this video. He seems relaxed and knows to just wait even after his little upset a few steps earlier. Then when working with Lady he was so well behaved as well. He barely got in her face at all. I know in winter, they are not in breeding focus but many stallions still get in the face of the other horse if they can. So his pole or shaft stepping thing only occurs when he is alone?
Lady was prancing a but there going near the barn! She sure is a pretty mare!
This is some hard work...especially in the snow! You two are go getters for sure! Brenda seems like like the perfect match for you Jim bc she's a very hard worker as well!
Sure glad Brenda talked about the pregnancy , getting exercise is needed, very important, thank you , it's that team work ! Stay safe , great Video !
I feel with the loss , Brenda has stepped up & is doing a wonderful job , so positive , amazing lady , thank you ! Brenda has learned so much , very proud of her , stay safe always !
concerned about the barn harmony. I assume that Baron needs to be in that stall. could a barrior of sorts be put in above the boards so that Lady can get water without Baron looking over the existing stall wall. or whatever you call it
The problem was largely the trough. Jim uses a water heater in the trough in the winter and these heaters can cause problems, They can develop faults which give the drinking animal an electric shock. And electrical issues can be intermittent which poses a whole new issue. Lady probably received a shock while drinking, she might also be sensitive to the electric field around the cables. Jim has noticed her reluctance to drink from the trough and Brenda now tends to remove the heater from the trough before the horses drink. I would be tempted to avoid the use of a direct element and sit the trough on warming pads.
While watching Jim hitch up the harnesses over and over, I think I might be able to do it too. I only have a riding horse, and she is trained and bred to cutting, so she would never be suitable to pulling, but it is fun to think about.
I bet she could pull one of those light buggies that they use in driving shows. Even ponies can pull those.
@@suzanneyoung8011 It's just that she dances when we go out, and has a lot of lateral movement. The same as cutting horses are good at.
@@maupinmaupin1472 ahhh right. I was thinking of the overall size of a Quarter Horse, but they're really not bred to be driving horses.
I love watching cutting horses work. It's a beautiful dance between horse, rider and the cattle
@@theclimbingchef I love to watch them, but have no training to ride a horse cutting stock. My horse is trained in stock work and cutting, so she likes to dance a bit. There are no cows to practice on where we live.
I think once Baron is trained he would be a good match with Bill! Good that Lady is getting exercise. Looking forward to seeing her baby.
Great video. It sure is cold. I live in south Florida and it 81. The horses did awesome.😊
Animals are creatures of habit and love routine because they feel safety in it. Any change in routine or "the herd" can upset them for awhile. They will adjust in time.
Thanks, for sharing your blessings.
RWD.
Enjoy you channel and how you deal with horses and farm life. I don't envy you with that weather, I lived in upstate New York for over 3 years and didn't ever get used to your winters... I still feel it when I see your videos. Sorry for your loss. Here in Texas we are still wearing a light jacket, until noon, then a t shirt. God bless and stay warm!!!!!
Thank you for talking about how the horses are doing with the new barn dynamics.
Lady cracks me up with her pinned ears, she sure does have a bad attitude.
Hello from Latvia!
Hello! Thanks for watching!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Come visit.
When are you putting the video out with Ken and bill in the woods? Maybe I misheard you in your last video when you were putting ken and bill together but I thought you said you were doing a video of them in the woods! I know you are busy. I've just been excited to see how they do in the woods together! I love all of your videos! You guys are awesome! Love you all!!💖💖💖
