William really is a great asset to you & Jim. With his skills with the horse’s and carpentry he, like every farmer is multi talented. Happy you found him.
Please thank William for letting us see his day. Very talented and hard working .
Thank you, William, for letting us know a little about you. Thank you, Brenda and Jim, for your videos and for all the work you do. May you all be blessed.
Thank you, William. You are a valuable person with many skills and a hard worker.
William’s Wife Is VERY Good at quilting-she also has an ARTIST’S Eye...
Her quilts Would be a TREASURE to have!!!
😇
🙏🏻
Thanks for the video Brenda
I thought we were Gee and Hawing backwards 😂! William will get it! It’s a blessing to have a dependable helper around, especially one that can drive the horses!
Yes, Jim is going to have to reprogram the horses, could you imagine what's going through those experienced horses minds, ah ha, they will iron it out.. (I had to look at the comments to see if I was loosing my mind ah ha.)
William seems like a good guy, nice fella..
A friend of mine tried to get my dogs to gee and haw back to front, but they would not do it. The dogs were only casually trained, for fun, I wasn't doing serious work with them
@@johnkomosa9508 I think the horses have already figured out that when William says it it means the opposite. Maybe he should just keep doing it that way. Doing it correctly now might confuse them. 🤔
G I z to s I o the righ😢. Horses know the way. Must be somethings wrong with my phone, couldn’t hear her.
Hey Jim and Brenda and William, It was really enjoyable to watch William loading loose hay for the cows and unloading into the feeder in the pasture. the feeder is a great answer for the horses and cows to feed from ,it'll definitely cut down on wastage . Yes I did picked up on William getting his Gee and Haw crossed up. Jim your so correct to solve the important issue with him when all your mature horses like ken and lady are trained the proper commands. . I really like the skoot and the working box for hay and firewood and etc. William's carpentry skills are fantastic on the barn repairs which are hard to keep up with your and Brenda's busy schedule.
I thought Brenda was filming in mirror image. ☺
Skippy is growing so fast! And thank-you, William, for being such a great addition to the farm. God Bless you!
Oh I so enjoyed meeting William. What a wonderful hardworking young man! I hope we get to see more of him in the future.
William is such an asset to the farm with his horse skills, building and repair, and farm chores. He seems to really enjoy his work with Jim, Brenda, and all the animals. Not saying Jim is getting older; but it is a blessing to have such a fine employee because there is so much to do on the farm now with all the new additions and the horses do need to work. And his wife’s quilts are GORGEOUS!!!!
Nice young men with very good skills, this is the future ! Have a nice day !
You can tell William is uncomfortable with the camera around. I lived with the Amish for nearly 20 years. I love it.
Such a hardworking young man! But I was really surprised that he was willing to let Brenda film his face.
Amish man behind the scene, what a great addition to the channel. Skip is pushing his luck with the horses, but he’s very entertaining. Nice sound effects. William and Jim did an awesome job on scoot.
Thank you Brenda and William . That skoot is so beautyful. ❤ I really like those feeders they are so well made.❤😊
Thanks for another great video. William is a top hand with the horses. Blessings of love and good health for 2024
William is a good worker, look after him, he has many skills to bring to your farm.
He is a great help for you and Jim.wonderful to meet him.
The quilts are beautiful! William is so good to the horses. You can tell he enjoys the farm work and carpentry. Wonderful video, Brenda.
The way Ken was leaking off pressure today he might go flat by tonight LOL....
It was nice meeting William and seeing him do some of the work around the place rather than just being mute in the background, I understand that there are some cultural issues with William and his beliefs around being filmed, but I hope he may be able to feel more comfortable with it in the future. Skippy is a real little character and is great to see him running about with you hopefully won't get too close to those horses' big hooves. I think that is the first time I have ever seen Jim all brushed up and relaxed. Thanks to you Brenda for all the running around you do to try and cover all the action for us.
I notice William uses their names when he wants a particular horse to do something.
Kenny has some record breaking 💨!! Just when you think Jim and Brenda’s videos couldn’t get any better….. Kenny steps up and says “ OOOH YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THIS!! “ on another note, I agree 100% that it’s really nice to get to know a little bit more about William and see his experience with Draft horses at work as well!!
Brenda u and Jim got a really good hired hand from what I see👍👍
Skippy is such a participator, seems never tired.
I noticed the Gee and Haw mix up the first time he did it, but thought maybe the camera was in mirror mode or something. I do have to say that seeing a “Working Horses With Jim” video without Jim was a little strange, but it was still good. Tell William thanks for letting us get to know him a little better.😀😎❤️
It great having William there to take care of things on the farm while Jim is out logging
Great worker you are lucky for him to be available
Excellant podcasts Brenda, and young William is a great benefit to Jim about the place with his work attitude and skills range. More podcasts like this one Jim.
Good thing the relief value is working today. 😂😂
Hope Skippy doesn't get hurt playing with the horses.
That was a nice change of Pace from the usual stuff you show and I enjoyed that nicely . And I'm glad to see at the end I was not losing my mind!. when William took Lady and Ken out of the barn and turned them right with Ha. and then left with Gee ???? I thought to myself "Have I been hearing that wrong all this time? even when he backed them up to the barn to load hay. he used it there also and the rest of the trip down to the feeder and back. So at the end when Jim got on and explained that it made all the sense in the world.I"m sure he will get it down pat soon. (Boy I do not miss working in hay mow's don't miss that dust at all!. Thanks for shairing ECF
So fun to get to know William better. He is a great young man and hard worker. Wonderful video, Brenda. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Williams a very diligent guy in what he does with the horses and a asset to the farm
The horses really played some tunes today. William is doing a great job ....and Jim, I don't believe for one second that you sat in the chair all day while Brenda and William were working.........😄
I saw Jim at the beach taking in some sun.........!
I thought there was something weird about the gee and ha but I couldn’t put my finger on it until Jim pointed it out. I was amused to hear Wm making some of the other non word noises Jim makes while driving! And no video would be complete without sound effects!
Especially when the horses joined in.
Oh Skippy! Stay away from the sled runners! He was right in front of the right side as William was hitching up Lady and Ken. Scared me lol. God love him! He has no fear standing down the cows. LOL What a great addition to the Gordon family!
What a blessing to have a beautiful soul like William working for you. Lady and Ken are my heart horses too..
William seems to enjoy the work.
Thank you Brenda, enjoyed today's offering.
William is a great asset to the farm. Use have great audio when you can pick up Ken and his audio. :) I have been around him to hear him up and close at a horse pull. Poor william being behind him
We think William does a great job with the horses he is easy with them the horses listen to him he is a hard worker and we like the way he drives the horses!
William is doing a great job picking up the slack for you. One thing that does make me nervous is when Skippy runs out in the road. Maybe he could be taught to stay on the shoulder. I would hate for any harm to come to him. It only takes once. He’s a great little farm dog so far, almost like he was born to it. Anyway, it was a great day spending time with William and Brenda.
William is a hard working young man and very good with the horses
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and the horses. And working the horses
I thought it was very interesting to meet William.
Thank you for the introduction to William. Brenda, you and Jim are so fortunate to have his help. Our hired man, retired, but he is younger than us! That said, farming is hardwork. We are happy that he is enjoying Florida.
William seems to be a natural. We live and learn. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴 wow those quilts are incredible.
It’s great to hear from William and some of his story. Young Amish families. Are wonderful people. ❤️❤️❤️
I wonder if William grew up in the Kalona area. Lots of Amish in that area and they are such good people. Beautiful quilts shown!
wondered if he said Iowa or Ohio. I've been to Kalona a few times, when I lived in Cedar Rapids. A nice and relaxing place to visit.
Thank you William . Sharing some of your family things like where grew up. You have brought a lot to the videos your carpenter skills are great. I don't believe you could have found beter people to work for. One the reasons I watch this channel is for the family values.
William is a very great asset to your farm and this UA-cam site. He is really a helpful person for you and Jim . He has learned very quickly. And also came up with many additional new things to utilize on your farm.
Great video, William will get it all figured out. Blessings
William needs one of the hats like you have on Brenda .
I noticed the Gee/Haw that William was using and thought I was going crazy for questioning in my mind. The horses seemed to respond correctly to the direction he wanted. I guess they must have been responding more to line pressure on the bits versus the voice direction? I enjoyed the video and appreciate William allowing the video of him. Lastly, I noticed in the show notes your list of horses and breeds but NO BRI. :) You will hurt her feelings if you don't add her, even if she is a mix.
William is GREAT asset to the farm and I'm sure he will learn quickly how to gee and haw correctly. He is a great carpenter as well. Those quilts are beautiful! With people saying about William and filming him, he may have had permission from his elders, particularly if they are of the New Order, to use technology for business use ONLY. So he is a hired hand, and Jim and Brenda are website/social media owners, helping him sell sheds and other things he builds, to give William and Jim some of the earnings they sold. So lets help them out with buying sheds, feeders, coop houses and quilts, homemade things his wife makes for the public. So at the end of his work day, everything technology stays on Jim's farm and William can go home with his non tech methods.
Hello William, it’s nice to meet you!
God Bless,
😇
🙏🏻
I thought he was a backwards when he was backing up the sled to the barn, but my hearing isn’t the best n I thought it was just me, but all n all he did an awesome job with the work at hand !!👏👏
William is so very good with the horses. They really listen to him. You're so lucky to have him as a hand. Great video Brenda.
Yes, both!
Good looking quilts, thanks again for letting us tag along with y'all. I've enjoyed every moment.
From far away. Thank you so much for the videos. Cant wait to see each new one.
So lovely to meet William officially. Wishing both families every blessing as you journey through life together.💞🤗🍀
William does a good job..Thanks for the video..❤
Hi William, pleased to meet you!
So interesting to see William work and hear a bit about his life, he’s very gentle and respectful to all the animals. He’s a real asset to your lovely set up on the farm.
Such hard workers. The Amish have moved into our area. Wonderful bakers as well. Nice to see and hear from William.
I remember my days on the farm in winter and a wooden plank snowplow that attached to the side of the bobsled. When the bobsled rotted out, my grandfather added a second plank to the plow and reinforced it to use alone behind a single horse. He plowed the driveway to the barn with it. I rode on top of the plow as ballast. I think you could add a side plank on one or both sides of the scoot to plow the yard around the farm. It could be hinged with a long pin for easy attachment and locked in place with a steel rod or a post. I'm sure William could rig up something. Back in the 40s and 50s, we really needed something like that before snowblowers and front end loaders. It would be another way to exercise the horses, maybe making trails down back and thru the woods.
great to see william working on the farm
I loved the video...still get to see beautiful draft horses work..... A real treat to see William working with Lady & Ken. And...I thought I was so confused about the Ge & Keep directions____/I almost had myself convinced I was wrong.
And Jim "cleans up good" I almost didn't recognize him right away in that leather chair wearing his "good clothes"....Ha Good finishing touch to the show. If you do more plus add Jim's over view at the end. Adorable.
The only thing that bothers me is Skippy being allowed to run on the horses and nip at the horses hooves. I am not a dog trainer, but I think he should be stopped from doing this while he is still young.
Das denke ich auch.
Außerdem sollte Skippy lernen, immer an Brendas Seite zu kommen, wenn sie ihn ruft und so lange dort zu bleiben, bis sie ihn wieder entlässt.
Ich habe große Bedenken, daß er in einem unaufmerksamen Augenblick unter die Hufe kommt. Oder auf der Straße unter ein Auto. Er kann die Gefahr eines Autos nicht einschätzen.
Er ist ein typischer Spitz und möchte immer hüten. Alles und jeden. Das hat man auch bei den Kühen gesehen. Er sollte unbedingt davon abgebracht werden.
I picked up on the gee haw as well. A few years back a nice young lady asked why I was using Gee for right and Haw for left, as that was backwards from how she had been trained. She learned in England and Europe, so perhaps there are some places where the words are reversed.
William is a great asset he can clean up all the odd jobs Jim doesn’t have time to do.
I wish we had Amish here in north Tennessee. I hear that they are great craftsmen. Maybe one day
Great video, what an asset William is to you both. Keep warm
I get very nervous watching Skippy chasing the horses. We had a dog on the farm that liked to follow the tractor like that. My grandfather took the tractor and mower up the lane to cut hay. On the way he trimmed weeds along the pasture. He didn't see it but the dog chased after him and right in front of the mower blades. It took her leg off and he had to have her put down. I saw it all. Another stray dog came to our farm, a beagle, and had a litter of 9 pups. She followed me up the main road as I went to another farm to pick up a load of hay. As I turned the corner onto a dirt road, she darted right in front of the tractor and the rear wheel ran over her and killed her. I guess that's why I get so worried about Skippy when Jim starts mowing hay if he doesn't get trained now.
our neighbor says,,"chase horses? chase cars nx. RIP "
Really enjoyed this video! William is a good, hard worker and it's nice getting to know him a bit. He has a real affinity with the horses. His wife's quilts are really pretty! Sure unusual to see Jim relaxing in an easy chair! But he deserves it as hard as he works! And you Brenda seem to walk miles to do a lot of the videoing! Really enjoy your channel!
Quit feeding them beans to much wind for William to smell hahaha. p.s I noticed the gee and haw when he was backing to the barn
Hello Brenda,Jim and William,how wonderful to finally meet William and what a real gem he is.Such a good honest worker and talks to Lady and Ken so gently and lm sure the horses love William l just got that feeling of calmness between the three of them which was a beautiful thing to see.Goodgreaf Brenda what are you feeding our Ken he popped more windows then usual 😆🤭 please pass on my regards to William,lovely to meet him.All the very best to you all dear friends ❤
Thank you so much!!! I'm 76 . When I heard William say his gees and haws I had a panic moment wondering if I had arrived. At dementia land. It was a difficult few moments! Thank goodness you said something. Whew! I get a kick out of Skippy, Mr. Hot Shot of the property now. He went ripping into the cat area like a terrorist. But it looked like the cows have his number when one stepped out to give him a head on challenge. Mr. Terrorist indeed. Good thing Skippy is fast on his feet!😂 I'm wondering if your bracing for extreme cold like we are at the N.Jearsey border. Will you be putting all the horses inside? brrrrr. Keep safe and warm. ❤
William is an asset to the farm. Wonderful young man. Enjoyed the video.
Nice for Jay to have such a good and hard working young man to help 😊
Skippy is going to be a great farm dog! Lovely video as always. William is a great asset!
Noticed right away he was asking horses to go wrong way. Not the end of the world and eventually he can correct that. He seems like a good worker! Brenda needs her own mic on occasions like this.
Ken still has major gas!
What a lovely young man.
William is a great help on the farm! Thanks for sharing ❤
This is a real farm boy. Working Horses With William
We think William is wonderful! What a great help! 💕
Thank you for a day with William. He’s a wonderful person 👍
Yes, enjoy learning about Williams life. What a nice hard working man.
William forgot to take the heater out of the drinking water
Good to see you got help and surprised he let you film him a being Amish thought they were against that but now with William to help hopefully more of the to do list can be fixed
William is such a good farm hand. He does a good job in his carpentry and is good with the horses! I thought once i noticed he said "gee" but he turned left. His wife's quilts are lovely!!!!!❤ Do they have children? Hope Jim had a good day at PSmith's cutting timber with the B Team!!
Picked up on the gee and haw when he left the barn…thank goodness the team was trained! When I was learning gee and haw… right is a phonically softer tone so is gee…haw was phonically harsher (left).
we like the paint idea on evener or....?
That was a fun video. William seems really good with the horses. I do business with several Amish here in northeastern Maryland and find them to be very hard working sincere people. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Very enjoyable today. Thanks.
Fun to meet William! It's great to have good dependable help!
What a difference to see Jim in an easy chair!! I'll bet it was after a day of work in the woods!! 😊
I never understood which command was in what, so I didn't notice he was doing it wrong. Yeah, that would be confusing to the horses! Maybe he can write the words on his hands till they are automatic!! That's what I'd do!! Lol!! Great video!! 💕
William seems to be very content working on the farm & very good with the horses. The horses seems very content with William & what William is having them do. Nice to meet you, William. Good job!! Skippy loves being in the middle of things & works well with the horses. He sure doesn't seem to be afraid of them or the cows. He is going to be a Great farm hand too!! God Bless Working Horses with Jim & Brenda
How wonderful to have William for help. He is very capable.
I noticed when he was turning the team in the road after securing the cow pasture opening that he was saying haw while swinging the horses to the right. I thought it was strange. Otherwise, he seems to be a nice, hard working young man. I recently found your videos and thoroughly enjoy watching them. I'm an old broken down crippled lady, ... but when I was younger, while I did enjoy riding horses, my passion was single hitch cart driving. I only used breast plate harness so these heavy work harnesses with collars I find fascinating. Only thing missing on your sleigh video with Baron was sleigh bells! What a beautiful sleigh! I never owned one. I had to use my two wheeled training cart, but in the winter time, I still threw on the sleigh bells! Anyway, ..... I'm sure am glad I found your website! God Bless! - ACD
Bonjour William, It was lovely to meet you and learn about your early life. The quilts that your wife made look superb. I hope that we can learn more about your Amish life.
Skippy is always there to help
