- Today we are headed to the Old Fashioned Harvest Days in Madrid NY and Ken & Buck (our Percherons) take the stage for a horse pull. We hope you enjoy the pull and seeing all of the old fashioned equipment and way of life!
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!

0:29 Jim smiling like a Cheshire Cat. I still can't believe Buck is gone. ❤🩹
That was SOOOOO exciting !! Boys did great, you too, Jim and Brenda.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for including the extras, like that exhibit of antique carriages. Also for the ponies! Your fellas are powerhouses but ponies can earn their oats too! How much weight did the winning pony team pull? I'd love to have a good pair of ponies! All in all, what fun! Thanks for taking us along!
Yeah, I am a pony fanatic, roared laughing when they bolted with the stone boat.
Great horse we had two good ones when I was A teen I'm 75 now still enjoy them pulling
@James Johnson Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching ken and Buck. Good job everyone.
Enjoy watching the competitions. Your horses are so well trained and in excellent physical condition.
Buck and Ken did a great job 👏. I have never seen anything 👍 like this. Great 👍 job Jim.From St.Louis, Mo
Good time with "team".
Thank you all for a great contest. I always enjoy you videos. This is real farming, and the pulling contest shows the real strength and training you have invested as a family. Love it!!
@Allan Hamm Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
all that old history is great stuff
Well once again Ken and Buck did great!. they mightnot have won? I didn't hear where you placed in the pull? but in any event the guys did great pulled their best. and I agree with Jim about that last pull. it does do a job on them more mentally than physically. but still both team and Jim did a great job, thanks for bringing us along. God speed.ECF
Thanks for watching!
The horse pulls always put me right on the edge of my seat. Thanks so much.
@Dan Riley Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
I like how Jim adds 11 stone handicap to his team by standing on the boat. He's not concerned 😂
Amazing amazing amazing. Great video Brenda. Jim , you and the horses we're great. Thanks so much.
They did an awesome job. I remember growing up watching the horse pulls and the heavy drafts in driving classes. Beautiful animals, congratulations 🎉
Wow. I like horse pulls. I was watching o e at our county fair. There were several that you could hardly get them to hold still to hitch. They were wild. Then there was an old man who would back his horses up calmly & they would explode pulling. As soon as the pull was done they were quiet & calm. They won.
I think grandpa Buck did fantastic! And they looked so pretty with their shiny black coats!
This was great! Thanks for taking us with you. The horses were amazing.
@Mark Abell Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Wish I could give this a triple 👍🏻 today. Thanks for sharing and posting. Love the horse pulls.
The Boys did so good! Extra carrots for such an effort. or more grain. : )
Wow! That was fantastic. I really enjoyed it.
@Dale Evans Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Your team did a great job. Thank You for sharing your time with us. 👍
Loved watching the pulling. It's great to see all the beautiful teams. Tho I have to confess I am partial to yours. Watching them working is incredible. Also enjoyed the ears when you started to brush. They said it felt soo good. I have always loved all horses. Thanks for sharing yours.
Thanks for the video. I've never seen a horse-pull before so that was very interesting. Ken & Buck are majestic animals. Hugs to them.
This was a great horse pull. Wonderful people helping. And superb coverage.❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was a great video! We thought the horses were amazing pull such weight! Jim great training on getting the horses to work well together! You looked sharp leading the horses to the weighted sled! We were rooting for you all! 🎉🎉🎉
Your horse is done a good job Jim
They did a great job, and camera work was great too!
Wonderful Job Ken and Buck . Thanks Jim and Brenda for taking us along. Jim you should be a proud trainer and owner. This pull is a reflection of your care and training !
Play by play with the weights, was great
I looooved this!
Awesome work
Buenas tardes Brenda, es muy interesante escuchar toda su narración al detalle.
Me gustaría saber ¿que hacen con sus caballo cuando envejecen y ya no son aptos para el trabajo? Agradecería su respuesta. Muchas gracias.
I wonder if the horses sense what they are up against and not just working pulling logs.
They see that load when they turn the corner, not their 1st rodeo, not their 1st pull.
Some sit on the stone boat. Some don't. Any reason for that?
Those that sit on the boat add the weight of the teamsters. The teamsters looked like a skinny man that was sitting down to drive his team .
👍🎅🏻
I think these horse pulls are harder on Brenda than the horses.
Every time that Buck & Ken started their pulls I found myself holding my breath! They did us proud for sure. Nice to see Percherons represented among all the Belgians. If I worked that hard, I'd expect more than a carrot! haha 😆
I am glad I was able to finally see a team of Percherons that can pull a good load, in action. My pateral Grandpa was a Percheron man.
Buck and Ken have a lot of heart. I'm proud of them! And of their handler. My Dad died last year at age 82, and one thing he always said was, "You never stop learning." Another thing he used to say was, "I'll know better next time " No matter how much experience you have, I guess there's always room for improvement. The main thing is to have heart. I enjoyed this video as always 💕🐎
One of my favorite activities is to watch horse pulls and to attend old fashioned plowing competitions. You put a smile on my face. I’m getting ready for an endurance ride on Saturday in the beautiful Fingerlakes north of Watkins Glen this weekend and you’ve inspired me in getting things packed and ready to go.
Have a great time! Sounds like fun, glad it inspired you!
The museum was nice part of the trip.Close to here we have a duck decoy museum filled with relics of life "down east".Located Harkers island,N.C.
@Ron Haworth Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
I thought you did amazing.
Best part of any fair is the pony/horse pulls. Tractor pulls are okay, but there's nothing like the old fashioned raw horsepower of the 4 legged variety 😁
Right on
@R.F Richardson JR Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Thank you for the excitement, I am 68 years old, and I have been watching you two with the horses for a while. I felt like your team was part of my family and was cheering like a 5-year-old. God bless you Jim and Brenda.
@Mark Nelson Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Wonderful! Felt like I was standing next to you the whole time.
Thanks, that was our hope!
Thank you for taking us to the horse pull and giving us information about the weight and distance on each load. Thanks to the judge for letting you and the viewers know what's going on. Proud of Ken and Buck, they done well and it's been a while since they have done some pulls. Interesting buggies and horse machinery. I think that huge wagon with the "stall" in the back is a thrasher or hay baler which a horse is in that "stall" powering the machinery. Jim, with his serious game face, he spoke with kindness of his horses' welfare and seeing the mistakes and make changes next time. Brenda, awesome, awesome narrations, information and fabulous video!
@Robin Geiger Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
hi jim and brenda, thanks for taking me along to the horse pull. i enjoyed it so much. ken and bill, did a great job pulling, they are a great team.. god bless, hi to everyone.. jim N.S. canada.
Hello! Glad you enjoyed it
I was so glad to hear Jim acknowledge and confirm what my horse mentors told me over the years: never end your work session by asking something of your horse that they can’t do because it sticks in their mind and can be a block to their try in the future. Nice job Jim, Buck and Ken and thanks Brenda for sharing this video with your many fans.👏👏👏👏👏
Hey Jim and Brenda, that was so great to see Ken and Buck at the horse pull!! Thanks a lot for sharing! They did such a great job, I really like how seemlessly they start off. Great minds, great team! Also hats off to your competitors! Take care -Chris
Should coulda woulda Jim hands down best team there as far as I'm concerned. Always very calm just like there owner , they didn't hit the sled they pulled it. And with an exception of the last pull always done it together. And I was glad to see you let them keep pulling after the whistle was blowed. Both of my uncles were pullers. You can sure tell which teams are worked daily. I have to say it again Clam& Collected. . Thank You for a great video.. Ronnie (Clifton Colorado,originally from South East Kansas)
@Ronnie Tanner Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Thank you so much for sharing this event from your community. Such a treat to watch! I had never heard of pony pulling teams. The carriages were wonderful.
Hello Jim and Brenda. It looked like a good day at the horse pulls. It was a beautiful day, and none of the horses got hurt. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. 🇺🇸
Thank you Jim and Brenda for for sharing. The horses are so beautiful.
@David Munro Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
I am proud of them and they ain’t my horses good job Jim
Those horses did extremely well considering there was tonnage they were pulling. Buck and Ken you rock boys bug soppy hugs for the boys. Well done boys you rock. Thanks for giving the narration in the horse pull Brenda. Jim you have to be so proud of Buck and Ken.
Great day at the Pull. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
@Mark Kuhne Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Great to see the old country enjoyment with Jim and Brenda showing the mighty Percheron s KEN and BUCK
In the display they have a black Hearst, Where we lived in HOLLAND there was special lady in the 300 year old city.
When she passed on they had A white Hearst, white horses at her funeral out of respect for an old virgin spinster in town- done in dignity John.
What a treat ! Thank you all.
@Timothy Moore Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Tysm for taking us along. I really enjoyed watching it. I love how y'all consider the needs and thoughts of the horses. It's so impressive how strong those animals are and their heart to pull. All the best to you. : )
For life of me, I will never understand draft horse pullers & drafts asked to pull heavy loads with check reins on. What ya hell. It is simple physics. A horse pulls best thru the entire length of his body, head down , with his head up he ends up pulling more across his back & your putting a lot more strain on their hocks. Another thing, when your driving them their heads go up & down & with every step that check rein snaps tight...bang in their mouths. They use their heads for balance, can't do that either. Lastly, a horse's sinuses are designed to drain when their heads are down. They like to put their heads down & blow their noses, can't do that either. For the love of God, these horse's are pulling their hearts out for you guys, how about making it as comfortable for them as you can. I'll get off my soapbox now.
Just found your channel . It's very good and interesting . Have you ever thought about or worked with mules ? Thanks
No I haven't
@Michael Shuman Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
I was so impressed with Ken & buck I had goosebumps watching them pull and enjoyed it so much, thank you for sharing, they did an amazing job.
They did incredible ! I will say one thing that's incredible with Jim as there trainer ken and buck is they are so evenly pulling together so important with pulls l!! And they eont even do it often that's great 💖
Love seeing Ken and buck pull. They did an outstanding job congratulations. Do you know if the other 3 teams that were pulling do they work their horses it's like you do or do they have them just for pulling?
It's a horse powered threshing machine.
@George Sherman Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
WHAT A TEAM!!!!!!!!perfect manners and apparently in great shape .Ken and Buck beat all those larger teams,,,,,,
@Steve Rich Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and the horses
Thanks so much, and same with you!
I was sort of watching your horses impression first pull what is this. second pull this nothing. Next pull what are we going for. Last.
Pull this B.S let’s get out here don’t bring us back again. Enjoyed the video
@Gary Mork Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Y’all should be glad y’all have horses because that is my dream
Great job Ken & Buck, thanks for taking us along, excellent job on the camera as always Brenda! Thanks for giving us your thoughts near the end of the video, nice to understand what you were thinking in the moment, thanks Jim, love the videos
@Michael Bissen Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Great seeing the Percherons at a pull!! One small thing.....please do not move the camera so much or too fast. Kinda makes me a little sick to my stomach... 🙂
@Todd Thompson Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Jim; I love watching horse / pony pulling. I have a friend that believes once a horse is trained to pull with all it's might, they are ONLY good for horse pulling contests. I.E. Not good for working horses on the farm, logging, pulling carts... I'd love your thoughts.
@Larry Bohen Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Thank you Brenda for taking us to see the museum! I love all the history! Win or lose, Jim had a blast! Ken and Buck were awesome ❤️🐴❤️ When the colts are grown and trained, will you take them to the horse pulls? I would love to see it!
@Jean Thomas Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Hi. Watching from Dubai.
How exciting. Thank you for sharing
thanks for sharing, I went to a horse pull here sat. had 5 teams I think. It was close to home and very good pull @ Effinger Va.
They did a good job that’s a lot of weight that they pulled
Yes, could you imagine those 4 teams all hitched up together!, They could pull a 12 bottom plow!
FABULOUS!!! I Cheered & jumped up & down watching Buck & Ken pull!!👏👏👏👏👏👏 Sooo exciting!!!
My family used to runnoon horse & tractor pulls in NYS years ago. Graduated to running truck pulls & competed too. How I miss those days...lots of excitement for sure. Thx for sharing...sure made my day!! ...memories 😊💖

Of the two teams who pull the heaviest load. They seems to anticipate the pull.
@Raymond Carpenter Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Ken and buck good job on the horse pull your still my heros God bless
@Ronnie Taylor Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Put Bill with Buck to pull and get them good and hot right before you go in the ring and no one will touch them you'll be way ahead of the game! (just my opinion) Great video as always!
@Andrew Smith Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Larry and I really enjoyed Ken and Buck at the horse pulls. They did great! And so did you and Jim.
@Kay Dustin Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Great job buck and Ken
@K Earl Long Jr Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Great video! We used to have a horse pull at our local fair but they stopped it doing sadly. Thanks for taking us along!!
@Taylor Hartman Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
yeah that was great! I liked your walking through the old running gear, cutters and sleighs. Thanks a bunch
@Richard Surber Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
I have noticed when a team is reaching its upper limit, they kinda bunny hope. Is this an actual thing? 👍✌️
Nothing like real maple syrup made right here in N.Y. State 👍
Holy Smokes!!! That was something else to watch! Do the horses need the next day off or light work after going to a PULL? Draft horses, especially the "working" ones, are truly amazing animals, They are absolutely Gentle Giants! God bless and pass the carrot's.....
Thanks for taking us along! Nice to be able to get away sometimes! you did good!!
First time I've seen a Hose Pull. So interesting...Alway enjoy you're videos...Thank You !!
Is it common for work horses to also do pulling contests? I have a sense that around here, southern Indiana and western Kentucky, the pulling horses just do that; they don't regularly work the farms. Also, have you ever bought Belgians from the Amish community in Daviess County, Indiana?
Very nice work they pulled Very well 👏 Jim brenda stay safe from Halifax England 🇬🇧
@Robert Farnell Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
Another great video. Buck and Ken did great !! Love the horse pulling videos!
@Dan Dubose Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if you don't mind..
That was awesome job Ken, & Buck. Back as a young boy we go see the Mule pulls. Jim seeing this makes me want to drive down to Columbia Tennessee, they have what’s called a mule day. The highlight is the mule pull.
I miss doing the pulls with my old Belgians (Rip) had a team of sisters ... I miss that "click" and the raw power when they heard it .. of course yours our angels , mine would get sooo excited , glad I only had to erive them , they where tough to hook... But they where angels doing anything else 💖 could cry i miss them so much the pony pulling always has anlmazed me also 💖
I don't know that much about pulling, I always rode quarter horses, but there appears to be a difference between the other teams and yours. The other teams drop the rigging and the horses pull immediately, not really waiting for the direction to pull. However, your boys appear to wait for your go ahead. That's a testament to all the work you do with them. They are so amazing!
That's so cool. I had just asked a few videos ago if Ken and Buck ever did pulls. Then, tada, there they are. I love your horses so much! They are so beautiful and healthy and so well behaved!! Y'all have done excellent work with all of them. Lots of time and commitment. God bless you. Can't wait til the next one!
Well, I would hold my breath every time they pulled! In my book they won they were so grace full. I love those beautiful horses.
Great job Buck and Ken!
Love these wonderful horses .
Thank you for sharing 🤗
