- Today we wanted to show you how there can be a lot of danger when logging in the woods! We had a very tricky tree that was caught up in another tree, and it took quite a lot to get get this tree down safely!
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!

It was great watching the horses follow commands. Jim you did a pretty good job at the camera but let's all admit it, Brenda is the professional where the camera is concerned. Love you videos.
yes Brenda ,you do great and yet hubby did a decent job today...
Well said, Wayne. Bring on Brenda, please!
They are awesome!
Awesome horses n Horsemanship !!! 👏👏👏
How come you didn’t pack your bearings? They won’t last being dry.
Hello Jim. This episode demonstrates the training of and the relationship you have with your Belgians. Absolutely amazed at how your horses responded to your voice in those tight spots. Great video!!
My sentiments as well; very impressive.
Amazing how they stayed calm with the chainsaw buzzing & tree branches falling across their noses !!
Lady is starting to fill out with her foal..TFS.. be safe out there Jim. It's always a pleasure to see you both..have a great day!
We do appreciate Brenda's filming, she is great at finding good angles and is wonderful keeping up with you and the horses. You're doing the best you can. Maybe it was better that Brenda wasn't there with you this time. 😳 I'd be real nervous to be there.
Nice work Jim with the removal of the hung up tree and manoeuvring the horses. You did a great job with the camera but we miss Brenda .
52°F is about 11°C, for your international TH-cam market.
Thank you
I've watched several of your videos since finding your channel this week. Jim, you are VERY creative. Brenda your skills as camera lady are appreciated. My dad, 90 now had a team of horses when he was about 16. It's a pleasure watching you, while imagining my dad and his team.
Amazing the control you show with your animals using you voice with sly words to get them to move. Great job
What a marvelous working relationship you have with ur horses.They have a great trust in you. Thanks for showing us how it is working horses with Jim
Hello Jim, Brenda, Lady and Bill. Jim, I'm continually amazed how well trained your horses are, it's fascinating to watch you work them. You did an amazing job filming, considering what you were dealing with. Brenda, you were very missed on this one. Thank you.
Brenda, We miss you!
Great work Jimmy multitasking that job !!!
U might the hardest working fella around jim
I doubt it!
An other youtuber (small farmer in sweden) said that the ultimate civilization is when a person can spend his/her whole life learning and practice oboe. Thats not really what the life as a farmer consists of. This is not my first language, so please excuse any errors in the text.
Ha ha as someone who TRIED to play the oboe in my high school band, I'd say that's a pretty funny statement. Even with private lessons to learn to play it, I had to go back to my original instrument, the clarinet, after a year. It's a very difficult instrument to learn to play. I always admire and appreciate the oboe players in an orchestra. Thanks for sharing. Take care, from Texas.
My goodness that was a scary few minutes but well done to you Jim and your wonderful team so trusting in each other.
very good outcome mr.jim,,it's a great lesson for any horse wood working class to see a delema and then a reasonable turnout come good .. patience is the key..love those sweet polished strong horses...my favorite breed...🥰🎶
Good example of what needs to happen when you get into a difficult situation !! Good job Jim and horse team. Certainly missed your Ace camera person, Brenda, who always delivers a much smoother video with WAY less jerking results !! Ha, Ha !!
Good one! Reminds me of story of hiker Finn Bastian doing the Pacific Crest Trail hike-thru with others Sept 2019, died when a rotten tree fell on him crossing a bridge.
Team did great for you, totally impressed!! That was interesting to watch, Thanks for sharing that with us, Jim God Bless
Wow, this was amazing! The horses know what to do. The trust and every word understood and obeyed! That look tight and impossible! Brenda's camera work is always a blessing and of course missed!
Jim I'm thinking about the video when the cart started to tip with a heavy load broke the weld , great video Brenda is really good at it
Good thinking My Man.
I like your thinking.
This is the work that separates the boys from the Men, when your staggering from exhaust, and a bit over welmed, you've got to dig your heals in a little deeper..
Good job Jim on all accounts. I like the wild logging. Cutting a trail to freedom.
One hung up tree can effect 2 days work.
Or a lifetime in haste.. Nice work Sir!
Brenda , Thank You for your fine Camera Work, sometimes we take you forgranted.
Good job watching those overhead snags, my brother caught one like a whip on the back, summertime no shirt, welt like Christ.
Luckily just a bad whip sting.
Fascinating! It is like watching a mystery and wondering how in the world will you get out of THIS predicament. Makes for very interesting viewing.
I've had days like Saturday in the woods. And my rule of thumb farming was the further from home the more likely a break down. My luck would have ruined the spindle. You got off lucky!
haha, so true
Pack the bearing with grease before installing it.
We learn from your channel, you can look up things you want to know as well
Maybe he did, also many bearings are pregreesed.
Lady, once again lived up to her name and went straight to her stall, but boys will be boys and Bill took the liberty ! Bearings need grease when they come under load and they need to be repacked now and again , but I guess you knew. The bent drum on the wheel is of no consequence since the brakes are not fitted ! I suspect as, you say there should be another nut to lock the bearings into place. Thanks for the video Jim, and we do miss the camera skills of Brenda. Enjoy the week end.
Yes, I did grease them, just didn't show it. Thanks for watching!
Impressive watching you work with those horses. Any tips on getting a horse to stop and stand like you do?
Jim your team works together very well We trained our team the same way To use the gee to rt and hew to the left Wit teaching students We trained withe the rains Hope to be up soon To see your team I worked on the wood lot many years ago With the team and students for my Dad class at PSC
Hi Jim , *Axel comment that may help you*
I never tell you tubers what to do, that would annoy the heck out of me. But sometimes I will say what I would do if I think it would help. There should be a grease seal on the very inside of your axel, it actually goes into the hub and will hold the bearing in place when you reinstall it. This keeps the dirt etc. out so you don’t ruin your bearing. I think I would use a product called Locktite on the threads before installing the nut. That will lock the nut on so you don’t have to weld it. It can be removed with heat applied to it.
I’m a retired mechanic and metal fabricator, I wish I lived closer, I’d love to help you out! Washington State is along way away.
I hope this will help you. John
Too bad you aren't closer!
This was a brilliant video Lady and Bill truely trust you and I love the way you call Brenda a girl
I notice there are new fancy, shiny, button-like things on the leather harnesses
since your axle does not have a hole for a pin then you probably have an axle that uses a special washer where there is a concave slot on the axle and there is a tab on the washer that goes into the slot so teh washer wont spin. then you bend the outside of the washer against the nut. the special washer goes on after the bearing but before the nut. so its bearing, special washer and nut last.
You have some excellent horses! I really enjoy your videos
Thank you very much!
that was fun but miss Branda's cam work
Love the forest, is nothing more better than the forest or be camping, be out of the cities depression is going to visit amazing places here in USA.
there a amazing team 🥰🥰🥰
Jim please tell. me how do they sleep in that small stall can they lie down in the
Problem with the bearing was TO much 🙄 grease
Man!!!!! Ifin you'd had a good camera lady, that would have been a great video. 👍 🤣
do you have to worry about limbs jabing the horses legs and injuring them
Yes But Jim uses his chainsaw to cut good clean skidways so that most likely will not happen . Cheers
How long do you anticipate those boards in the stalls lasting with the geldings peeing on it constantly
a long time, tamarack holds out well and we also have mats
👍💪👍💪👍💪🙂🥇
If there is a will there is a way.
No grease buddy
This a awesome logging this is how it should be done I live in Michigan and the machines keep getting bigger but the wood doesn't even reach maturity they have to cut 3 rows of red pine to get the down then they skid 2 rows I would love to large scale logging shut down in this country they keep saying carbon footprint but the logging is exempt from all climate talk and pollution they destroy 500 time the value of the wood they clear cut half mile from my house a 300 acres the wind has went from 2 to 5ph to 15 to 25 mph large scale and clear cut logging needs to be band in America the wood is max 16inch stomp there no need to have machine that weighs 6 ton 14 feet wide large scale logging needs to be band completely there no jobs they went from 7 to 10 hand cutters per job to 2 guys and there cutting 70 acre clear cuts in 3 days to week when I was kid there would be saplings started at the beginning of job now they plant it 2 and 3 years down the road over 30 thousand acres in my small township clear cut on scenic byway they completely ruined Michigan for paper
Hey Jim, that was all very tricky, also maneuvering that log out there! I so much enjoyed following every single step you did 😁 Brenda is definitely doing a fantastic job on filming! She's walking a lot when filming, always films at good angle and asks good questions! I think she deserves a complete video about her and you do the filming 😁😉 Glad that all went safe and well with that tree! Take care! -Chris
Thanks 👍, you too!
I noticed the wheel leaning last week and thought it looked like bearing problem. Started to comment but thought It might be video distortion. Sorry
That's probably what spun the nut off also. On that outer wheel bearing one or both of the races started to spin that would make the washer and nut want to spin also.
Once you got back on the trail, it looked like Lady was dancing! Yes, Brenda you were missed,but I’m surprised that Jim could do so much one handed. Held my attention!
A lot of horses would spook if a chainsaw was operating right at their faces and limbs falling right at them. Not Jim's horses! He has trained them so well! However, I stayed on pins and needles watching this one. So happy you and the horses are safe!🥰 Brenda, I sure missed you manning the camera on this video! Hope you can come back for the next work day! Have a good weekend!
Well done Jim, what a great team that turned a difficult situation into something very entertaining and safely done. And of course we all appreciate the marvellous camera work achieved by a Brenda, even though on this occasion she was not on site during that risky process.
Jim, excellent problem solving. Brenda, missing you being the second set of eyes and ears with your nifty camera work. Lady and Bill, excellent work, pulling, listening and obeying. (Hope you two get some extra tasty morsels for your hard work.)
I hope your horses enjoy doing what I enjoy watching. I wonder if they like their work or just do what is asked of them to do. I am amazed that you, Jim can start a chain saw in the faces of your houses and they don't spook. You constantly amaze. And YES regarding your partner doing the videoing. Brenda is the best plus she seems to keep you in line regarding talking when you tend not to talk. Again you two are a great team.
Thanks, Claire!
This has to be your BEST video, yet. I had no idea of all the different situations and dangers you have to deal with in the woods. This video was very enlightening! Your filming was quite good, so don't put yourself down or apologize. So glad to have been along with you, this day. Thank you so much. God bless and watch over you, always.
Logging and cutting down those trees... dangerous work. Did that with my husband. He was very careful like you. He kept an eye on me. My father in law worked horses all his life. They had a very large team - Bud and Bill. Don't remember what happened to one that it died but the other grieved itself to death. Enjoy your videos. Oh yes! Be sure to tell your work horses how good they are and what good workers they are. They deserve it. Love and prayers to you and your wife. Lynn
I enjoyed the ride Thru the woods.
A great adventure in the woods. Well done!
Maybe Brenda wouldn't want to have witnessed that in person.
Hey Jim... if you haven't figured it out yet, your cart's stub axles should have the outer bearing retained with a castle nut and split pin. The split pin serves two functions, one is to prevent the nut from backing off as yours did and the other is to adjust out the play in the wheel bearings. It is customary to grease new bearings before installation. Palming the grease so that it fills the voids between rollers and cage is a popular way to achieve this. many how-to's on youtube! Love your videos... you and Brenda seem to have a unique working relationship!
You have such a special bond with your horses Jim, They trust you completely and i am always amazed at how much those two horses can pull behind them. As dangerous as that situation was you still got that tree on the ground. I learned a lot from watching this video it is always enlightening watching you go about your day. It is great that Andy could come out today also to help with some chores on the farm which frees up your time to get more logs out onto the landing. As usual your horses did an outstanding job. Give them a good pat each for both of them i know you don't like giving them treats but if you have a couple of carrots i am sure they will like that kind of a treat. I think they earned it. I am sure Brenda would have closed her eyes at some of the things you filmed in this episode and your camera work wasn't too bad Jim. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.
Thanks, you too!
I noted that you do not praise the team after good work. Horses seem to have very different motivations than dogs! Someone said to not talk all the time around horses. I am guessing, if you were not filming, you would be quite quiet.
You have such pretty Belgians
Fantastic job done together out of that felling spot, those horses did well with just voice commands to become half partners in your logging business. Best of luck dropping those long pines, and what surprised me the most is when that tree finally hit the ground the horses on a short hook up didn’t think about being shook.
That is all true, unfortunately for some reason the axle is a little short. I drilled a hole through it, hoping to put a cotter pin in it but the nut wouldn't go on far enough to expose the hole. That is why I had to weld it
I enjoyed the video. The horses are amazing as usual. I do miss Brenda and her camera talent. You both do a great job. Thank you!
Farmers and loggers are natural mechanics
Some not all.Your comment is interesting.I grew up in a farming and logging/forest industry family.I live next door to a so called “farmer”.They have a problem doing anything.City folks turned out into the country.They even get me to kill their chickens for them.
Sometimes it's not that I can't do it, I just don't like to do it
One word.....FANTASTIC.....👏👏👏 watching a true master at his best,what a great video and yes Brenda is always missed doing camera work.We always enjoy whatever the two of you do.Thankyou so very much for sharing and our William and Lady are looking fit and very happy.l do hope you get this comment! All the very best dear friends 🍁🍂🍁🍂💕
Thank you for this video. Watching you work with the horses is nothing short of amazing. As long as there are people like you, doing what you do, America lives.
Again, thank you for this video.
Subscribed.
Amazing work that Jim is doing, my grandfather said to me in Puerto Rico, always be respectful with other and always look to the future,doses not Matter where you are, just work hard and on the end you will have the harvest
So right jim, good job as usual but definitely nicer with your "camera girl". Many thanks to you both for your hard work. Some times.s I wonder if your job or hers is harder . Also we rember your video tech puting up all this footage. Wonderful faimly.
That seemed like a dangerous situation for both horse and man but glad that it worked out for you. Used to help my father in the woods when cutting trees and one of the most dangerous situations was a hung up tree. You always had to have an escape route.
So enjoy all your videos, but even more so when Brenda is there and filming. Love watching your horses work for you and your problem-solving skills.
It’s amazing the trust that you have in your team and they have in you, especially as you come near them with that chainsaw. They trust you to take care of them. ❤ awesome
I would love to see videos of Jim training a foal from the beginning, and what it takes to produce such great horses
It happens to the best of us Jim, no worries 😊 you got it handled. You have an advantage over machines with. “REMOTE CONTROLLED HORSES” LOL😅😂😊. Great job!!
Haha, yes
Good job to the horses. Extra pats and maybe a treat at the end of the day. They are certainly earning their keep. Good job staying safe and educating those watching. As always enjoyed watching.
Thanks 👍
I think the camera work is really good
In spite of Jim's urging, I won't say you should have been there! It was dangerous enough to give you a fright! He's a smart man, but was sure in a sticky place!!
I hope you are ok
All I can say is jim has the patience of a Saint. Nice work jim.
Jim, you always do a fine job video taping and explaining what you do. I enjoy the real raw footage of your daily activities and how you handle the horses in all circumstances.
You didn't pack the bearings full of grease they won't last no time.❤❤❤❤
I did, I just didn't show it
Look at that preggers Lady! That baby is going to come out hitched to a log! Can't wait to follow her progression.
😂
Just another great video Jim
Daaaang Jim this adventure was a little sketchy for me. i'm aware that you know you trade, but wow, take care. winter is coming take a few hours and upgrade/repair your hauling device. sure don't want that happening in the snow. Brenda's vidéographie is ok, but i sure would not want my wife in the woods today with the troubles you were having.
Hi, I have these problems often, and Brenda is rarely in the woods with me. It's all part of what I do
Good morning Im with you Jim when it comes to mechical stuff..."If I cant fix it with a hammer..it must be electrical"...even with out Brenda great video...
I had no doubt whatsoever that the tree would be pulled down.
I am always amazed at the amount of trust between your beautiful teams and you. Wonderful teamwork!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
WOW! I am so impressed at the skill and willingness of your horses to be able to perform such maneuvers. Your knowledge of logging is impressive as well. 👍
well done , Just shows how hard it can get very quickly. Yep Brenda is the professional camera operator but I am happy you took the time to film it so we could see something some of us don't get to see.
Brenda does a very good job behind the camera! One thing I will say is when Jim is holding the camera he does such a good job explaining what and why he is doing things.
I love the videos! Keep them coming!!
Since I've been watching your channel, I always thought what you did was amazing...but this video surely demonstrates your control over these well trained horses ....so well done 👏 👏
Your videos are so true to life and the challenges we all face in one circumstance or another.
So amazing the way the team listened to you.
Sorry about the broken cart-just curious if you checked the other tire/wheel?!
I do enjoy Brenda’s special gift of filming-this was also very educational. I just am in awe of how well that Lady and Bill responded to your voice commands; such a great relationship you have with your teams.
Hung up trees really cost you a lot of time.
So true
That was exciting . "Rough " camera made me feel like I was there . So impressed how the horses trust you and stay calm . Can u talk about blinkers one day. Do they need them when they r so trustworthy.? Love from NZ
Yes I plan to talk about blinkers soon, thanks for watching
A great example of how patience always wins the day. Many hazards but it doesn't have to be dangerous.
Great repair job Jim! So nice to hear only your voice occasionally, and the harness noise from the horses as you drive through the woods. So refreshing is the sound of silence... No problem with the camera work. Fantastic response by the horses...
I miss Brenda's camera work! But this was ok. I could see the bumper save the cart wheel. I don't know if the audio was out of sync with the video, I don't think it was, but it sure did look like the horses were obeying your voice commands before you spoke them. Maybe it was the reins, but it sure did look like they figured out your plan before they even started. Brenda would be proud of them! I enjoyed this video as always 💕🐎
Do you have Whisky Jack's (Canada Jay's) or Ravens visit when having your lunch break . We always had a small campfire with a tin of tea for a warm drink . First time l had a whisky jack take a small piece of bread from my hand one of those small but unforgettable moments. You maybe too far south for those birds . Cheers
Not only Brenda's great camera work, but I enjoy her commentary as things are happening. She also seems to know what I'm thinking and asks you the questions that come to mind. 🙂👍
I heard the horses talking to each other the conversation went like we need to have a talk with someone on this brush waking.
Great work getting the lodged tree down Wonderful horse work but your camera work was lacking. Missed Brenda’s work with the camera.
Yikes! Scary! Weird stuff happens sometimes. Glad no one was injured.
