  • Join Joe as he films Jason Julian and his team of Brabant draft horses to do some work in the hills outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
    Due to the location, hills and condition of the winter mountain road, their usual equipment could not do the job so CH Coakley, Inc of Milwaukee, Wisconsin hired Jason and his horse drawn wagon to remove old battery cells from a retired AT&T radio site.
    The job required the Brabant team to make 5 trips up and down the steep, snowy winter road to haul all the batteries and equipment. We see a lot of footage of his draft horses working!
    joe interviews Matt Anderson from AT&T of Green Bay, WI to explain the job.
    Joe also interviews Brian Coakley and Al Brown of CH Coakley. The Coakley company has been in business for 130 years and began back when horses were the normal method ofor hauling. They are used to thinking outside the box in order to get their work done. They have special expertise in medical and telecommunication equipment and crews are trained and certified to handle special hazardous materials.

    Those mares are amazing! Sometimes backing up 150 years plus or minus pays off royally.

    Wow. I had my heart in my throat when the team was going downhill, loaded. I could see the locked up brakes (to pretty much no effect!) and I just thought- "those poor horses..." if that trailer tries to pass them or go under them or yank them off the road to the side! I don't understand it.
    I only saw one brake pedal that looked like it only operated the rear tires to pretty much zero effect in the packed snow. Shouldn't you have had chains on the wheels? Like I said, I don't understand it or why there was no disaster. Those girls must be INCREDIBLY powerful, sure footed and super-glued to the earth.
    Your great, great grandfather must've figured out how much weight it was safe to hold going downhill in the snow. I wonder if horses died figuring out that information?! That's the best two horsepower engine I've ever seen!

      I shoe my horses with sharp shoes called dril-tec so they have incredible traction on ice and snow. This was not even close to what they can really handle. I just used the brakes to assist them but they probably didn't need it. Also yes, with many years experience I'm watching many indicators to know how my girls are doing. They are second only to my wife.😜

      @@legacyhorseloggingbrabanth1536 Thanks for the reply. I am very impressed with your skill and knowledge and understand that there are many subtleties that I don't know about. I can see that those girls really trust you. There is love there both ways. It reminds me though, of learning to sail many years ago. I was doing 12 different things and going crazy trying to keep it all straight until one day it just all went into my body and after that I was only doing one thing- sailing... :) I want to get into the horse thing but I'm building out a self-sufficient homestead with many projects that have to come first. But your website looks like a great resource. I also mill lumber so draft horses could really be handy. I will continue studying whatever I can find with your resources at the top of that list until one day soon the pile of projects allows me to get into draft horses. Thanks & Cheers!!!

    Am I the only one who noticed that the road has been recently plowed by a machine? You could have hooked a trailer on the snow plow guys. Whatever pushed up those 4 foot berms at the station definitely had the traction and power to move those batteries, The horses are cool but this is just a gimmick story.
