- Draft horses played a huge role in the settling of Canada's prairie agricultural land base. They pulled the plows, cultivators, seeders, mowers, hay rakes, binders and bundle racks. Horse power in its basic form acquired its strength from the land itself, a truly organic form of propulsion. And horses even supplied an equine form of GPS in that once a team understood what was expected of them the driver didn't really need to guide them anymore. Veteran horses often knew better than an inexperienced driver where to walk when pulling or pushing an implement. The Reding Family Threshing is a true showcase for these wonderful draft horses...
The best memories and the best people. Unforgettable. Thanks for compiling these so beautifully, Doug!
Glad you enjoyed their stories and hope you like what's coming up next.
Great, that somebody carries on the tradition. It certainly is better for the soul than the huge mechanized equipment of nowadays.
Yes, so true, Dad always preferred his life back then when horses supplied the power...
@@FarmBoy-1950 I have been working with my horses for 60 years, still run our little vegetable farm with a team of Percherons and have not stopped enjoying it.
Good horses in Alberta! I bought 4 Percheron yearlings from a chap near Bonnyville. Not halter broke, but they are now a full 3 years old and working well for me, dead quiet and friendly. 2 of them are in my profile picture the rest are on my channel. I haven't helped with threshing since 1989, the guy I worked for used to help his brother thresh oats. I don;t have enough land anymore. Maybe someday.
I have not done that in years
Yes Phil. There aren't a lot of places you can see this kind of historical action any more.
Belgians have mischievous thoughts and sometimes act on them. Gotta watch them. I love them though.
