  • Today@Working Horses With Jim, we haul in a couple loads of firewood and get to watch our Amish neighbors new house going up.At the end of the video I will show you my stove and a different way that I sometimes split my wood.
    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!

    You can see how much they want to dig in! That stuttering step, head down, and every muscle engaged. The luckiest horses ever, to be able to carry out their God given purpose. That synchronized backing up looked like a dance.

    That is quite the furnace.
    I would love to have a thumb on my excavator, but to add one on my old machine, I would have to change the bottom arm because I would also want to add a quick change for the buckets. That is the joy of owning older machinery.

    Back in the late 60s'. I used to help my Grandfather with his pulling horses. He used to plant between 150-200 acres of field corn with a two row McCormick planter. I was the "water Boy". I would walk them down the creek and back. I was 8 years old at that time. Winter time came around and we would hook the BobSled and pull hay out to the cattle. End of spring we would start looking to skidding logs. I will NEVER forget those times. I still like to see a good team of horses working together. Love your videos.

    I enjoyed the view of the horses from the hitch because I got a good look at the differences between the way Lady pulls and the way Bill pulls. I could really see what you were saying about Lady puts more effort in whereas Bill is a bit lazy. Too funny. She doesn't seem to mind. And where you demonstrated how you adjust their harnesses to compensate the pull so Lady isn't pulling the load by herself. Although she looks like she is more than willing to do that if she has to. She is quite the spirit. Looks like she is doing well after having her mouth fixed.

    • @WorkingHorsesWithJim

      A lot of draft horses are stabled in box stalls,but I prefer straight stalls and my horses are used to them and I think quite comfortable in them. Water would freeze in my barn,but I water them regularly.You could check out an earlier video called My Top 5 Feeding Practices.
