- The 2024 planting season has begun and it is finally time to plant! Today we are planting the field with the draft horses.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse 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!

Honestly I think I would rather hear the horses working, the sound of the machinery going through the dirt and nature in the background 😊
The majesty of your horses, their steadiness and willingness to work and learn is a true reflection of your training, care, and affection for these “gentle giants.” I can’t believe how far along Baron, Duke, and Earl have come. And your stars in Ken and Bill to train and mentor. Drone shots were great!!!!!
I can only echo what @deb283028 has stated. Brenda's camera angles at times surely points out the majesty of your horses !! I learned today exactly what an "evener" does (I think ?).
It "evens" out the load, so to speak among the team !! So every horse is pulling the same (even) load !! I thought that was clever, and tip my hat to whoever "invented" it !! Some of our ancestors were a lot smarter than we give credit !! (If you know what I mean, Jim ?)
The background sound of the horses and grain drill is so much more relaxing than the music.
What an absolutely GORGEOUS day to finally be able to be outside enjoying that amazing springtime weather!! I’d much rather be on the cart harrowing than stuck in traffic somewhere! ENJOY EVERY DAY!!!
When do you know the seed is empty?
It would be pretty cool to see three different generations run a team at the same time
For me sometimes it's just nice to watch the farming, and enjoy the beautiful scenery that God gave us. Thank You for sharing.
Ken is such a calm giant of a horse. He stood there like a statue (until he was alone then he figured he deserved a little hay 😂). But seeing you backing those three up at the end Ken looked like a pinball getting bumped left and right 😅 he stood his ground though and showed them how its done
we all love Ken,super horse,as well as old Bill and Lady..
'Not turning back and looking at your plowing ' is BIBLICAL.
Luke 9:62
What a great day to work out in the fields. I could watch Baron work all day. He's such a gorgeous horse! Earl certainly got a good workout. Love the drone work. You are so blessed to have William helping you. Very nice video today.
Jim - regarding not being able to use audio with the drone footage and difficulties with music: you can always use the audio from older videos where you are doing field work and not speaking. The viewers won't be able to tell the difference!
Jim, Brenda and William , Thank you all for bringing us along on the on the harrowing and planting today. The mixture of Timothy , Alfalfa and Oats should work great. Earl and Baron did really well being balanced off with Steady Ken . The Near and Far outside horses inside bit ring being strapped and snapped on to Ken's hame rings works well . The seed drill and culta-packer can be quite noisy and a heavy load to draw with the younger horses and could be bit spooky starting out . But Earl and Baron supported hy Steady Ken did really well. The ground filming and drone footage combination of You in the beginning and then William finishing up was great. Good Luck with acquiring the new planer motor from Wood Miser.
Skippy leading the way and supervising all of the work being done. Cultipackers are heavy I have assembled a few of them in my younger years. They are made out of cast iron for the weight to pack the seeds in the ground. The soil looks ready for planting not too wet or too dry. William did well driving the horses in the morning while you were trying to get the planer parts on the phone. Brenda please send me the energy pills that Skippy takes. I really don't know how you keep up with all of the running around to take these videos for us. MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS HANDS,WILLIAM TOO. PLEASE STAY SAFE.
I bet Skippy sleeps well after a day out with you guys and the horses. He never seems to stop !!
Also, your drone footage is absolutely spectacular, Jim !!
Another GREAT VIDEO from the Gordan Farm!! It’s always a real joy to watch Jim’s horses work! Earl seems to be coming along nicely. I look forward to seeing Duke hitched up with the team as well. Thanks for bringing us along with you Jim and William! As you get some planting done.
Baren looks so majestic and strong
Hi All.....Boy, what a beautiful day you are having, not a cloud in the sky with a great day for planting! The drone pictures are beautiful. Thank you for sharing and. God bless.....😊❤
Hi I am old farmer a bit older than Jim I grew up with horses dad had them grandfather and I played with them I farm with tractor but Jim has some of the best and biggest punch horses I have seen I have a lot stories but I enjoy you people must and God bless you
Natural sounds is good enough for me
Hii Jim And Brenda !love the back ground music so relaxing, so nice to see Jim out working his fields , I love following you guys around your farm doing all your chores seeing the horses always look forward to your videos ❤
Baron stepped up when he had to after the loss of Buck, now he has some experience, its good to see him working hard, Ken the master teacher and the new boy on the block Earl who will soon get the hang of things.
No music no talking is the best way to show off the horses and that is after all what we’re after to see the horses!
Congratulations on planting the first field of 2024. Your choice to use a 3-horse hitch seems to have paid off, Earl gets more time learning, Ken and Baron are steady workers. Brenda, you worked really hard to get some great shots from different angles, I applaud you. Jim, the drone footage is so good at showing how the farm is put together, thanks for that. Truly enjoyable video!
PG here, the best shot Brenda got was the seed falling onto the ground. That was a hard shot to get.
Jim, I like the aerial view of your land and the plowing design. Beautiful work.
The drone footage is awesome, so remarkable that you can put that odd looking contraption in the air and film everything!
Thank You for sharing your hard work with us.
What a beatiful field. What magnificent horses!! What a beautiful life Jim & Brenda have!!! Thank you for sharing. Longer the better videos are good for me & great drone footage. Thank you William too....
Thank you Jim the music is just fine. .I like the sounds the horses make when they are eating and working no patent needed
Exciting to watch the planting start
No worries on the music, the sounds of the farm are perfect. God bless.
Nice field planting! I could see the coltipactor pushing some good sized stones down, you'll get more stones picked next time but you are finding a good balance.. The last time I planted a mix seed like you use, I used a hand beater spreader, they are a large cotton canvas bag at your tummy (strap around your neck) and you spin a hand wheel, it spreads the seed amazingly well! I asked where Dad's coltipactor was so I could do that and my brother had borrowed it out and they never returned it! It was just like yours Jim, I remember it when I was a little kid. Now my nephew plants the field and he is doing well.
Nice field Jim! you got it in , in a perfect time, you'll have some cold nights but hopefully no frost on the tender shoots coming up. I wish you an abundance in your crop. Thank you for taking us/me along. Brings back great memories, nice work to All including the horses. Very nice.
Take your quite time Jim and pray for good tidings and remember your wife and vivacious daughter Abbie who has her dreams and aspirations coming into bearing good fruit . Hallelujah
I like the sound of the equipment when you show the drone footage. Lol
Love your tie stalls and watering system .Jim 😊😊😊
Nothing wrong with that music. I enjoyed it to William harrowing.
Hi Jim, Wm, n Brenda, ty for introcing ea of de horses too.!.!. Love the Drone!.and seeing all of your land, and where youre preping soil. Music, n i understand. (Its fine). Ty for explaining a bit about the harnesses too. 😅 dogs will be dogs, tho im glad he listens to you. Awe. Mama n babies Awe. Hope youll have a pair of Percherons again. ❤ Ken is so much bigger thnan de others . God bless yall ❤ love yas❤
The colts looking good, Baron is going to be a real jewel like his heads up gate,
Love the drone footage, we can actually see the whole field, love the close up shot of the seed falling through the holes, great job filming and editing …. Skippy, leave the kitties alone 🩶
William does some mighty fine plowing
Send Brenda out to run! Those lines the wheels make sure look like a track field from drone height!
The Quick Look at the motor I saw a totally in closed fan cooled flange mounted plus all the voltage. Could be pretty hard to find. I would think granger would have what you need just by the number on the plate. Good luck!!
Dandelions and fruit trees are in blossom, and the honeybees should be working them.
Your daughter’s acapella singing is music to my ears anytime. I watch a winter video last night of yours from maybe three years ago where your daughters and your wife sang. Tears were running down my cheeks when the two girls sang it was so moving. I enjoy your videos music or not with the drone. 76 year old farm and horse gal at heart here in Ohio.
❤️
Jim, music sounds great thank you and do enjoy the silent ones. You got us covered Jim thank you.
Yes. No need to fret about adding music. We're here for the horses.
Ken is a super horse.
3 drones for 3 equines.
My sisters and I went to school in Lausanne, Switzerland in the 1060's. One of my sisters married a Swiss who was born and raised in Zurich.
Hello from the rocky mid-coast of Maine, US. May 8th, 2024
So thankful ya'll are not having to walk and work in mud .
Always such good videos. You don't need music in my opinion. It is terrible how expensive everything is. Everyone, it seems, has their hand out.
Always enjoy your videos. Looking for more!!!
Earl is really working good Very nice young horse!
Oooh the new kittens are precious!! And what a sweet place Whitie chose to have them!🥰 I love kittens as I'm a cat lover! It's a beautiful sight seeing a 3-horse hitch working the field! Wish I could see the horses in person though. Ken is such a great horse to help "the young bucks😘" in their training! The drone views are beautiful, showing the pretty field you're planting as well as the gorgeous green pastures!!!!!❤ Would love for you to spend some time with Lady as she's in her last weeks of pregnancy so we can see how she's doing and how much weight she's gained! It looks like she's gained more with her 2nd pregnancy than with Bree, which is normal! I just miss getting to see more of her!
PG here I agree, Lady is a Beautiful Horse. Plus ut us great to watch Bree growing up also.
Watching the process is interesting. Thank you.
Beautiful North Country day!!
Love the natural sounds. And adding drone footage is nice also. Nice to see all the green. Thanks for your videos
Oh those sweet little kittens ❤️
Love the drone footage!!
Absolutely beautiful animals
Awesome video thanks for sharing !! 👍🐴
Jim, have you ever thought about having your girls record some old time hymns that are in the public domain for your music track? Earl is really coming along nicely. You really are going to have three fabulous horses there.
Nice drone work Jim! Great video and really enjoyed it.
Great video ! Young Suffolks are really turning out to be great just to remember when you first bought them, they have come a long way since then. That was mighty impressive backing up that seeder !
I sure did enjoy the video
Like your drone vidio ,,,, beautiful farm
Thanks for doing this❤
Beautiful field Jim looks great through the drone
Fun flight over the farm! I like the peppy music.
They sure can work
I like the music you selected.
That was awesome, luv watching it, the drone shots was awesome
All of that work done with three horse power 👍🏻
Love the drone view so much❤❤❤
Working Horses With Skippy
Jim, if you weld a "tab" on the cull-a-pactor (a top and bottom) the pin will pull evenly, be easier to install and remove. I would do it for you but I'm in Alabama. I really like your videos and my dad would have liked watching your horses. He grew up "working horses". A rock hound attachment on the skid steer would be a quick & easy way to remove rocks from your fields. I know, it's a horse video but you don't have to record the skid steer.
Great video love to see the horses working together. Amazing what you can get done with simple horse power. Did the bee guy ever catch a new swarm of bees this spring. ?
PG here, We are bee keepers .We had several splits and lost 3 swarms despite our efforts to catcgh them. the bees were very healthy this year in southwest Ohio.
Best wishes on having a bumper crop of oats. Thanks 😊.
Cats would' lo e to take care of Abbys property for her.
Rows nice and straight,I couldn't do that with a ruler and pencil
They’re so beautiful going three across
Ask your girls to sing in the background. They have lovely voices. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Nice set Jim🐴🌾
Great video as always. Love the music. Thanks so much.
I really love ken ❤, so there fore I would like to see you get another Percheron, I know that is not in the future , just thought I would say it out loud 🤣
👍👍👍
Hi guys. Some of your horses are so smart they try hard to see behind or around their blinders especially turning hard. Why can’t some horses not have the blinders?
Jim did a video on that. mostly it was for in the woods, protects from branches from the side getting them in the eye.
One reason, Jim has said in a previous video, is that blinders helps protect their eyes when working in the woods.
excellent
Hi Gordon's! Beautiful day for planting! And the boys are doing such a great job! I was wondering when you plan to roach the Suffolks' manes? I think horses look so regal and clean cut that way. Plus, it keeps the rubbing sores and tangling in the lines less likely. Have a great rest of your week!!❤
Great video. Thanks guys!!
Nice video. I like your concern, but if I don't particularly like your music, I have a volume control which works marvelously. I think I like planting from my chair
Does William like working on the farm ?
How is Lady doing? Will she foal by the end of the month?
Wonderful Video Thanks For Sharing This With Us You Mentioned The Age's Of Baron and Duke Earl Wondering The Ages Of Ken Lady and The Boss Bill LoL Don't Know My Favorite Just Interested In Their Ages I Didn't Forget About Bree Blessings And Please Be Safe ✌️
I have a question about hitching up the jockey yokes...I noticed some times you only hitch one side at a time on separate horses, then finish once the pole is on. Why is that? My son hitches each yoke completely to the horse before going on to the pole. I've been enjoying and learning alot by watching your videos!
Fun little intro!
Could you maybe make a video with all your kids running a team of there own at the same time I think it would be a cool video if u could and call two generations at work
How is lady doing is she about to have her baby
Ugh! another motor problem. Hope you get the planer fixed and this is the last problem like that you have! I never thought of a drone as a farm tool but it could really be quite useful for looking at fields and rooves and all kinds of stuff instead of having to walk out there and physically check, not to mention the birds eye view gives a different perspective. Those kittens are so cute and mom picked such a good spot.
Has any of your kids and Brenda ever ran a team of horses at the same time you have a team
Beautiful❤
I don't need music. Sorry to hear about the motor dying.
The videos are great. I do not understand how you have the time to do them and edit them.
Did you have to fill the bin of the drill more than once?
At 31:50, I've been watching 2 years and have yet to see a crooked row.
The music was fine. I really dislike it when people have music and talk at the same time. I really enjoy no talking and the natural noises. There is something meditative about it for me.
Have you ever work all your horses at the same time jim
Have your kids ran two different teams
As others have said, the drone shots were wonderful.
Wanting straight drill rows is amazing. I thought you just did that for plowing and corn. Remember, when the oats are a foot high, you won’t be able to tell straight from crooked. 😊😊😊
Barron wanted to follow the wheel track much like following the furrow when plowing. Did he ever learn to stay just left of the wheel track?
