@@davidbiewer4766 if someone isn't around horses much, especially working horses, they'll find it impressive. Heck, I've been working with horses for years now and even I found it impressive how well these guys are trained. There's absolutely zero call for the negativity. Do you gain anything from tearing down others?
jim and brenda may i say that was a great vido on all what is done to putt lady and bill away when done for the day. also i would liketo say seeing bill and lady back up by themsalf was a great treat. say hi to everyone for me ..jim dartmouth nova scotia canada.
Wonderful to see that your and the horses work has not been replaced by machines and robots. Great that traditional methods are proved to be the absolute best. You care for your horses very well and they are fantastic in return.
Good evening Jim and Brenda,thankyou very much for sharing this video.One of my favourite times is when you and the horses have had a good long day is getting them settled down for the night.All is calm the lights go of and all you can hear is the sound of the horses munching away in there hay......SO SATISFYING 😌 All the very best dear friends,night night 🌙 till next time 💕
Brenda, you continually amaze me with ALL the "things" you do in and around the farm. You are such a faithful wife, mother and grandmother !! Lord Bless you ALL !!
..it's not easy for me to find the right words to explain how I perceive Brenda's contribution to the videos you are making. My wife and I love cats ... and when Brenda spoke about Andy's cat ... a thought came to my mind, all these little gestures of interaction that she has with your animals, gives me the image of a community... The 4 humans, the 6 horses, and now the cat ... all have their individuality ... you guys make me look at the good side of life ... May who ever is in charge in the other reality bless your family ... you community.
It always surprises me how much i enjoy your videos! Anything horsey, yes! But the logging business, who'd have thought it so intriguing? Of course, it's also inspiring to watch the respect and affection between Jim and Brenda as they take on all those rough challenges of outdoor living and logging life. Thank you so much! From Toronto, Ontario
Jim and Brenda, you are the best at taking care of your horses. The winter months make the task a lot more difficult for you both. I amassed at you Jim to be able to withstand the cold temperatures while logging. God speed to you both .
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸❤️ Your love , camaraderie, innate understanding , patience and natural ability to communicate with your horses is beautiful. So few have your gift… so few honor the magnificent creatures by bringing them into their lives and working WITH them . My grandfather would shed true tears remembering his Jimmy Jackie and Joey to home plowing fields in Northern Ireland… once a human finds that spark between horse and themselves, the world is never the same .. Blessings to you and yours Sir
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim That he was Sir, he knew the great Clydesdales nose to tip of tail , talk of greeting each one by leaning in and sharing a long slow deep breath with each one, “ makes your soul’s one lass , they know if you’re ailing or top’o game and work according.” It’s true, in all my years showing the difference was clearly apparent.. But I’m sure you’ll attest to such behavior in your beauties.. .. they clearly love working with you eagerly patiently standing to be harnessed… lololol y’a can see the muscles twitching “ let’s go Dad!! “ ears following you listening… blessings!!!!
This is so interesting and enjoyable.. I love it when the horses get pampered and cared for . They are such lovely horses . Thank you for sharing so much of your working life with us. I can see by the numbers of subscribers that many people feel like I do. :)
Seldom seen so well cared for and fed working horses. These two beauties have a super good relationship with their "boss". They are so relaxed, their whole behavior shows absolute trust in people and in the usual processes as they are shown here. Unfortunately, my English is not so good that I would have understood everything, but I could "read" the horses and that was great.
Jim I have had my share of horses as a younger man and often found many horses with white patches on there withers caused from improper fit of the saddle or pad. and rubs hair off and always grows back white. I know your horses is just so much movement it almost has to wear some hair off. But you and the wife take such good care of them. Love the way you caught the sore neck and now you will take care of that problem with a new neck pad. I really love your work sir
Jim I really enjoy watching you and your wife and your family take care of this beautiful horses you can tell that you love them to pieces and I enjoy watching it this everyday so keep up the good videos please beautiful horses beautiful family
That was a good look at the evening chores. Just learned that folks out west, during winter's cold, will clean up their horses nicely...with leaf blowers! Nice shiney winter coats, no bath water involved. Who knew?
Another truly enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing your evening chores with us. Even though you are still working at that time of day, it's enjoyable for us to relax and watch. Be safe in the weather headed your way.
I always enjoy the videos , love the way the horses respond to you, they are so use to your way of doing things, you don't have to even talk to them some of the time, they know what to do and where to go , well trained horses. I was supprised to see the one jump when Brenda went in to curry it., have a great winter.
Thanks for watching. Yes, that was unusual, Brenda thought she know she was there but apparently she didn't with both of us working around her at the same time
My Grandpa used to tell stories about 1 team he had that he used for barn cleaning. His barn had windows that opened out so you clean the pens by pitching the manure through the window. He would hitch the team and they would walk to the first window and stop. When he had that pen clean he call them to "Step up" they would walk to the window and stop. When they got to the end of the barn they walk around to the other side. He said if he could have figured a way for them to engage the spearder he could have sent them to the field by themselves. He would always chuckle and say " You can't do that with a M Farmall".
I love your News Letter, great 👍🏻 love all to do Jim n Brenda with these magnificent Horses! The Clydesdale are very big horses n have tremendous pulling power! I once there was semi truck got stuck going up a icy hill! There was not enough room for tow truck to tow it! Road was narrow. A farmer with a team clydesdales pulled the semi truck up the hill! There a places where horses can go and Machines can't! I have great amount of respect for your family that show the world that there is place for these beautiful n strong horses! Much Love n Peace to all!
New subscriber here...I don’t have horses (sure wish I did, though!), but I love watching videos about them because I think they are the most beautiful creatures...I just ran across your channel and was very impressed at how much care you have for your horses...Thank you for sharing...I look forward to watching your other videos (past and future)...
Excellent video! Very impressed with Bill and Lady's backing skills with minimal voice commands. Barn and stalls look great also. A life style few people could adapt to let alone do it as well as you and Brenda and your daughters and of course your teams of horses. Grew up on a small family farm back in the 50's and 60's, we also did logging, we had a Frick husk saw mill with a 54" saw and and a carriage with four uprights with the dogs, great memories! Hats off to your operation and your life style!
Great video as usual. You take such good care of your horses and you’re a great example for people watching. Love your new kitty. Such pretty markings.
I love to watch well trained horses working. Thank you for your videos. I also was impressed by the Haythorn Ranch edition of Gentle Giants on RFD TV. Showing a rancher that still uses Belgians to feed his cow herd. Very well trained also. I wish there were more UA-cam channels like yours that show that horses still have a place on a modern farm .
That is top quality hay. You give them such good feed and care. The horses are in wonderful condition. It will soon be spring. I predict that these two are going to win the next horse pull.
You have such a great relationship with your horses. It’s a lot of hard work and love that you put into their care and it shows. Thank you so much for sharing daily chores. Actually, I love all your videos. Take care and keep warm. God bless you and your animals!
Very informative about the sweat pads and the neck issues. It's nice to give a recommendation to such a good hardworking, trustworthy business. I had no idea how much those pads would be but from guessing what horse tack usually costs and due to the size of them, I expected you to say those pads were closer to $50 each. I think $21.25 each was a great deal, and you were smart to buy four at a time so you would have the red ones ready for the Percherons when you need them.
Hello Jim and Brenda lots of things more than what I thought on taking care of your horses. Lot easier taking care of my tractor lol. I know some that dont do as well as they should. Have a great day
Another excellent video very informative, we clip the belly on our shires in winter for that reason of them sweating but our winters are nothing like as cold as your. What a good help Brenda is you make a great pair
Nice to see Andy's cat make a guest appearance. I was just imagining the barn atmosphere, hay, manure, the aroma of wood, leather, makes me kind of homesick. Although its cold outside, it would be much better indoors out of the wind an snow/rain. Hope you have a very blesse week end.
Oh what a beautifull drafts...i have big size shetlandponys...love to drive carriage... love my life with my ponys...thank you for understanding so well Regards from holland
I was taught to dry horses with a hay wisp in the winter when I was young- it's one heck of an arm workout, haha. Effective, though! Thanks for the great video. Always love seeing well cared for working animals.
I agree with the payment of anything use to be Your word or hand shake was good. Not now. Your videos are very interesting and informative keep up the good work.
I saw that video Jim. I was amazed by those horses but also with yours. They know where their stalls are. Keep warm! We have extreme cold warning up here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Absolutely incredible!!! Seeing the team back in with just voice commands😀♥️😀😎👍 For a second there, I thought you were just showing off LOL😂😂. Thanks for the explanation .
Looking forward to your next video, with all the snow that was forecast for the NE area on Jan 29th.. Couple of questions for you...Do you ever take a day off, except for the feeding and care of the animals? Also, has your farm been in the family, or purchased by you years ago? I must say, that Jim...you never come across as someone, "trying to make yourself look good" with working your horses. You have a humble spirit that shows in all that I have seen in your videos and my husband and I enjoy your lifestyle. We only wished we lived closer to volunteer our time and fellowship with your family. You and Brenda love your horses and it shows!
Must be a real patt on the back to know the people you do business with are that trusting. Perhaps the Amish know when they are working with Horse People most are trustworthy. I hope that never changes. Great show!
Love your channel you guys do an amazing job! I race harness horses totally understand the work and pride you take in your team. They are performance animals like ours. A couple quick tips for cooling them out quicker we call them coolers a fleceblended single sheet with a 2nd on top wicks the sweat away keeping the bottom cooler dry and the top one takes the moisture away. In the bush during break they are a little lighter and keeps them dry and the skin is able to breath. Second try a little hopple chafe on those skin patches after work will help encourage hair growth, during work a little baby oil around the areas helps lube the skin and prevent harsh rubbing. Training race horses has its perks we know how to keep them in good peak performance week after week. I give you tons of credit for what you are doing and filming it on top of it all, alot of work you are both inspiring.
I live in Ohio and in 1990 I purchased over a hundred dollars worth of pedal tractor parts from a man in lasearn , Mo. and I ask him he he wanted a cashiers check or personal check sent to him before the parts were sent . He said Oh no , You wait until the parts get to you and check if everything is there then just send me a check . Pretty cool and trustworthy .
Do you ever have a horse chiropractor in for your hard working horse's to help feel better And be happier 🐴💞 Thank you for explaining how Intelligent your horses are" 🐎 I appreciate your eye for details Love the care you give ❤💕♥
Thanks Jim and Brenda for sharing what you do after a day off working the horses that's a good lot off info , l was thinking some time back what do you do at night with them after work , your horses are trained reely good Jim , god bless have a good weekend to you all
Wow, you guys , your energy is really high. Good hustle, nice to see the hussle and the quick work post logging. Getting ready for the cold night, worked hard and put away wet, but nice blanket, then to come back out and water and brush again, letting that moisture really flash off, then ready for the night. Yes, amazing how much heat those big animals heat the barn, all the hay above in the mall, great insulation. Nice job guys and thanks for explaining. Regarding ship then pay, I used to do that but got burnt a few times, now I do it cautiously, and much more rarely, I usually chuck one loss per year up to, a donation of good will to keep the good karma going. But yeah, have to be careful. Usually a few good folks such as yourselves allow me to help the less fortunate. (Balance), Cautiously Caring. Those pads are nice and good price. Do they use the material like the liners of snowmobile boots? Thick felt? It can take the weight and wear. Great Video! Carry On Carefully. Impressed.. John. Ps; Hello to all from Alaska. Temp running in the teens, perfect..
Hi John, thanks for your comments. Yes, wish everyone was honest! There is some sort of a foam inside the pads, not sure exactly what it is. Below 0 here today and much colder when wind chill is added in. Enjoy those balmy temps!
Seems to me that would have been a decent price back in the late 80's when I was still buying such things. I don't know if your viewers all realize that the blankets will wear the hair off a horse like that as well. When I was working with hunter jumpers and with Thoroughbred, it was not uncommon for the blankets to rub the hair off the points of the shoulders, the top of the withers, the points of the hips, and if it had a closed back, it would even rub the hair off their butts. The leg straps can rub the stifles as well, and if you forget to criss cross them between the legs, they will rub the insides of the legs too. Those old canvas, wool and leather New Zealand rugs were heavy, and took a lot of hair off. The newer Weathabeetas are much easier on them, but they still will rub. When I was a kid, those harness marks would raise the price of a horse at auction by several hundred dollars. Chain traces used to be pretty common in the south, and folks used to let those chains rub and turn the hair white, which would permanently raise their price. It told you for sure that the horse was broke to work, and had worked enough to get those permanent marks, which usually meant they were a decent work horse.
Them horses back a trailer up better than people at the boat ramp in Florida 🤣
Betcha Jim's teams can also parallel park just by voice command.
Loved watching Bill: "blanket, please. Soon? Not yet? How about now? Yay!" ❤
haha
Watching your horses back that cart into the barn is truly amazing.
thanks for watching!
Are u kidding thats not impressive

Love your channel you guys do an amazing job! I race harness horses totally understand the work and pride you take in your team. They are performance animals like ours. A couple quick tips for cooling them out quicker we call them coolers a fleceblended single sheet with a 2nd on top wicks the sweat away keeping the bottom cooler dry and the top one takes the moisture away. In the bush during break they are a little lighter and keeps them dry and the skin is able to breath. Second try a little hopple chafe on those skin patches after work will help encourage hair growth, during work a little baby oil around the areas helps lube the skin and prevent harsh rubbing. Training race horses has its perks we know how to keep them in good peak performance week after week. I give you tons of credit for what you are doing and filming it on top of it all, alot of work you are both inspiring.
Very interesting all around from start to finish. 💕🐎

I live in Ohio and in 1990 I purchased over a hundred dollars worth of pedal tractor parts from a man in
lasearn , Mo. and I ask him he he wanted a cashiers check or personal check sent to him before the parts were sent . He said Oh no , You wait until the parts get to you and check if everything is there then just send me a check . Pretty cool and trustworthy .
Yes, it is, thanks for sharing
Indeed I have enjoyed your video , Thanks

Thanks Jim and Brenda for sharing what you do after a day off working the horses that's a good lot off info , l was thinking some time back what do you do at night with them after work , your horses are trained reely good Jim , god bless have a good weekend to you all
Wow, you guys , your energy is really high. Good hustle, nice to see the hussle and the quick work post logging. Getting ready for the cold night, worked hard and put away wet, but nice blanket, then to come back out and water and brush again, letting that moisture really flash off, then ready for the night. Yes, amazing how much heat those big animals heat the barn, all the hay above in the mall, great insulation. Nice job guys and thanks for explaining. Regarding ship then pay, I used to do that but got burnt a few times, now I do it cautiously, and much more rarely, I usually chuck one loss per year up to, a donation of good will to keep the good karma going. But yeah, have to be careful.
Usually a few good folks such as yourselves allow me to help the less fortunate. (Balance), Cautiously Caring. Those pads are nice and good price. Do they use the material like the liners of snowmobile boots? Thick felt?
It can take the weight and wear.
Great Video! Carry On Carefully.
Impressed.. John. Ps; Hello to all from Alaska. Temp running in the teens, perfect..
Hi John, thanks for your comments. Yes, wish everyone was honest! There is some sort of a foam inside the pads, not sure exactly what it is. Below 0 here today and much colder when wind chill is added in. Enjoy those balmy temps!
Enjoyed watching video, good info as always.
God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video Jim and Brenda
thanks
I drive through Norwood Missouri three or four times a month that's pretty cool
I'm originally from York ,PA. I've dealt with the Amish in Lancaster, PA. Same way of doing business. There are quite a few harness shops.
Yes, great to hear
Great Video i Love it
Seems to me that would have been a decent price back in the late 80's when I was still buying such things. I don't know if your viewers all realize that the blankets will wear the hair off a horse like that as well. When I was working with hunter jumpers and with Thoroughbred, it was not uncommon for the blankets to rub the hair off the points of the shoulders, the top of the withers, the points of the hips, and if it had a closed back, it would even rub the hair off their butts. The leg straps can rub the stifles as well, and if you forget to criss cross them between the legs, they will rub the insides of the legs too. Those old canvas, wool and leather New Zealand rugs were heavy, and took a lot of hair off. The newer Weathabeetas are much easier on them, but they still will rub.
When I was a kid, those harness marks would raise the price of a horse at auction by several hundred dollars. Chain traces used to be pretty common in the south, and folks used to let those chains rub and turn the hair white, which would permanently raise their price. It told you for sure that the horse was broke to work, and had worked enough to get those permanent marks, which usually meant they were a decent work horse.
Very interesting!
