  • Today ‪@WorkingHorsesWithJim‬, my daughters, Trudy and Abby, hitch up the Percheron draft horses to the sleigh to take some friends for a girls sleigh ride to the cabin and go ice skating.
    All Music is from bensound.com
    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!

    This is the first time I see this video with beloved Buck and Ken together. Abby and Trudy always love to see them together. The laughter and love they have for one another. Glad the girls and their friends had a great
    time. Jim and Brenda you are blessed with wonderful children. Buck and Ken know the way home Trudy 🏡. God bless you all..

    Well here it is a year later, and I watched this again, and got just as much if not more fun/pleasure out of seeing how much fun the girls had. for sure that day's memory's for them will last them their lifetimes. I'm pushing 80 now and let me tell you I love reliving those kinds of memories of my youth. so thanks for sharing yours again. kudos to Jim for his undershot of the sleigh.I loved looking at how it was built, I know its a guy thing. but thanks for that Jim and to all thanks for sharing this time and memories again. God speed. ECF

    Well how fun was that? It does my old heart good to see the younger folks enjoying some good clean fun. And not once did I see any of them with a phone in front of their face. You and your Mrs. did a wonderful job raising those girls.

    Love this video. You girls are adorable and very good spirits.
    I guess the horses know the “boss” is not at the controls and they seem to like to get into top gear. They are probably thinking enough with this hanging around let’s get back to the barn into the shade from the wind and have a feed of hay..... you girls had your pizza now we want ours.

    Looks like the girls had a fun time. was glad to see they put the blankets on Buck & Ben whilst they were skating and eating etc. as for the snow and wind I can relate to that. we have around 18 inches of snow on the ground here and it got down to -8F last night and is only 4 above now. so good day to have nice hot cup of coffee/soup and enjoy this video. Thanks again for doing it and taking us along for the joy of it. Take care God speed..

    Hello Jim and Brenda and family.
    I watch all your videos. We have a music school and plan an annual December recital/Christmas party where we plan to show your video “Sleigh Ride” with computer and projector. We will play and sing holiday songs like Jingle Bells. Unfortunately Texas city kids have never seen horses pull a real sleigh in deep snow with real sleigh bells. So, Thank you!

    Great! What Dad is allowing here is confidence building for his daughters, driving the team; of course we know this team is extremely well-behaved, but that wouldn't mean that things can't happen.( I have some experience with that). And I am sure, that mom Brenda, the nurse, saw to it, that the necessary precautions were taken, after all we live in precarious COVID times.

    Very nice and interesting as always! One question though: How are the bells (is it kind of a belt?) connected to the harness. We're working with draft horses too, but with the american style harnesses only for one year, so first time sleigh driving this way. Thanks for sharing.
