It has been wonderful watching how gentle and caring you are with your horses. You are providing an video archive for farming done by many of our grand and great grandfathers. Thank you for the effort of you and your lovely family for the time devoted to your UA-cam channel. I was delighted to see the 'hunter caravan' again this year.
Thank you very much!
Great job Bill, patient gets the goodies. Take care Jim and Brenda.
Can't wait for you to put some of those logging shoes in your store! Would like a pair to go with a pair of # 10's!
I am sorry to be late ... Happy birthday to Trudy ... I must also mention the way you look after your horses is wonderful ... thanks for your videos ... regards to Brenda too a very nice partner ...
Thank you so much!
At good video as usual, today was a bonus for me. I was watching with my 6 yr. old grandaugther. At 6:10 when you were talking about the pressure on the frog she reached out and paused the video and looked at me with big eyes and said" do horses reely step on frogs that's gross". After i was able to stop laughing I explained what a horses frog was.
For a horse who is in shoes all of the time, Bill has great looking frogs! I would expect thrush but there appears to be none!
Love to watch you work with the horses.
Thank you!
My wife's great grandfather and grandfather had large muck farms and used horses. She has shoes that were designed for working the muck farms....really unusual shoes...
There are a lot of different skills to master to be a good teamster. Another Good video.
Thanks 👍

Good evening Jim and Brenda, l was thinking along the lines of a small transparent bead with say Bucks tail hair in it or Lady's and make them into a key ring or bracelet 😀 l think Brenda and the girls would love to do this,and would be a LOT cheaper in postage......just a thought 😀 Have a wonderful weekend,all the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕
Thanks for the idea, you have a wonderful weekend as well!
So my moms dad my grandpa farmed with horses he quit using horses before I was born. But I grew up around the various implement you use. Mostly I’m playin tag on and around them. I’m a horse person I’ve drivin horses and pony’s for a long time and driving carraige in slc. I love seein how work gets done around the farm and how you manage. You have a unique perspective that I enjoy.
Such well behaved horse‼️ Such a BIG HORSEY‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸
Super job...I watched my Dad many times,,, 👍 Nice
I have a basic knowledge of work horses, but your videos are giving me a great education, Jim. Keep them coming :)
Thanks Jim Brenda , maybe get one off the girls to tell people how to subscribe too your show , those horse shoes could be a good idea to put them up a signed working horses with Jim , keep up the good shows guys cheers
Good job Brenda an Jim... Have a nice family Thanksgiving...
Thank you! You too!
people will pay 20- 50 bucks for a shoe from your show.. figure out how to autograph them and or mount them on a plaque or certificate of use..used on king etdc etc.. people love to have a part of your life..and feel involved
I do believe you will reach the goal. Love the videos or blogs
Guess I never thought that, there was different types or styles of horse shoes. Good to know. Enjoyed the video as always. God Bless.
Kind of like women have different kinds of shoes, flats, pumps, stilettos, spike heels, tennis, etc. LOL
Working horses verses riders
Haha
Thanks, you too!
Great info, Thanks guys
Good video Jim brought back memories helping dad shoe to horses thanks for sharing take care
Please take the time someday this winter and harnsss a horse and explain each part of the harness and the cost of a full set of harness. A lot of viewers probably won’t know the cost of working horses and the harness and where you get them
I'll see what I can do, although I have done quite a few about harnesses before.
Thanks for sharing, stay safe.
So nice, Jim not knowing why people would want a old horse shoe, uhm if people would need them for something.. 😍🤣 no Jim people want a souvenir from your farm, someone mentions making a bracelet with horse hair from your famous horses, that would also be very cool, there are fans!! The 50,000 subscribers are coming soon i'm sure, you are great people the video's are fantastic.
Wonderful video Jim I always enjoy watching your content so interesting thank you so much.
Thanks for the info
Congrats on 40 000 subs you guys :D. I hope you reach your 50K goal!
Good evening from sweden. A pleasufe as always when a new video is uploaded. Thank you Jim & Brenda 🌼. Im curious what does a shoe job on one horse cost in the us?
Here in sweden the cost of shoeing one horse including new shoes is about 190 usd.
WOW !! so it's not cheap !! It's like getting a new set of tyres for your car !! They don't "GIVE 'em away !! Nothing in life is cheap any longer !!
That's for sure!
It varies so much, so I can't really tell you. This job didn't cost me anything
Nice horse
You could also for when say your on the gravel and the horses don’t have traction then you could get studs to put in the bottom so they have a little traction
We had a Welsh pony that got into the oats bin and foundered. My cousin was farrier and he and I were trimming her hooves, they were in tough shape and she could barely walk on her front feet. So we put shoes on her fronts to protect her feet and eas the pain. The help with the blood flow I welded a steel strap 1 1/2" wide across the frog area. We then trimmed her so the frog was making contact with the strap. We had to trim and reset her shoes again in 4 weeks because her feet were growing so fast. By the second trimming you could not tell she had foundered. Maybe a steel strap on those heavy pull shoes would help?
good question, thanks Brenda. I also hope you hit and exceed the 50k subscribers. I don't live on a farm, nor have I ever had a horse but if I did it would be a draft horse. Thxs for explaining every aspect to us. my question, you've now put in a new nail and your bending off the piece that pokes thru. did it loosen the nail on the shoe side?
No it doesn't
I have likely watched all your video's by now. I like them and I like your style with the horses and the training of the young ones. What I would really like to know is how much land are you using to provide food for the horses and then what the difference would be in costs if you used a tractor instead of horses to do the work ?
My son and I have come away from the shoeing stock for our horses (both are over 2400 ls.), instead I trained them to give their feet, which we then support with the so-called 'cradle'. Nevertheless, hats off to your shoeing job.
Great video. I have a few questions about shoes if you don't mind.
How long does a shoe remain on a horse's foot before you have to re shoe?
Do draft horses require shoeing more often than riding horses?
Do you switch shoes for different jobs such as logging and go back to a flat shoe or do you leave shoes on until they need to be replaced?
If you replace a shoe on one foot do normally replace any others at the same time or only one at a time?
Do you put the same type shoe on all four feet or vary them by front and back feet?
Thanks.
Would love to hear the girls do a little mini Christmas carol concert. Could really bring some good publicity for the channel too. Also doing a colaborar with some other UA-cam could boost subscribers too but you all are wonderful love this channel
I would be interested in seeing this same foot after farrier trims and re shoes,
Hello nice video Jim and Brenda thanks. How often do you need to shoe a horse.
very 6-8 weeks
Lol, ask your kids how to subscribe.😆😂♥️😎
😉
Jim. Idea for a.video . Explain the benefits of different type of horses
My neighbour has. clydes and. he. says they. are lazy
Thanks for the idea
Percheron are suppose to be better workers.
He shows the Clyde’s and sold more than one to Budweiser. Have to have perfect markings and be trained
I think I've seen shoes for riding horses that allows the frog to be pulsated but I'm not sure if they make them for draft stock
Looking straight at it from here it looks like the left side of shoe is very close to the frog and right side not so close. Why?
Good job let's help Jim and Brenda get too 500000 subscribers buy Christmas so tell other people about working horses with Jim and watch him share all his info
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Are the shoes put on them just for work or health purposes ?
👍👍🙂
Ain't nothing easy about farming!
That's true
Здравствуй, Джим. У нас в России большим счастьем считается когда человек находит изношенную подкову. Обычно её прикрепляют к входной двери дома для счастья. И что бы чаша была полная то подкову крепят "рожками"
вверх. Может ты создашь коллекцию таких подков? Будет интересно. С уважением. Юрий.
Это очень интересно! Спасибо, что поделились.
how many miles/km do you get out of the horses shoe ?
It just depends on what they are doing
How old are your horses?
Range between 14 and 20
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👀👀👀👋👋👋☕️☕️☕️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Compare them to athletes:
Logging/pulling is like football players wearing cleats
Flat shoes are like basketball players on a gym floor
Good comparison!
How much does a new workhorse shoe cost? Yep, don't put your tongue 😜 on a flagpole when it's 20 below either!!!
