Good Morning! I am a city girl. Born and raised in a big city; lived my entire life in a big city. Do you think I would find it interesting to watch you plow a field using an old piece of farm equipment and an old horse? Well, guess what? I sure DID!! I was glued to the video!! Katie Bell knew what she needed to do and she did it! She didn't forget. Now as for you, Sir -- you are a great teacher! You explained everything in detail along the way, you had your children involved in the work in different ways, AND you showed you cared and were concerned about the welfare of Katie Bell -- your work-partner -- by letting her have some much-needed rest stops along the way so often during the job. I bet she got an extra good rub-down after that work, too! Thanks for sharing!! Have a good one!
Brother you almost brought me to tears watching you and your son plowing the field. I brought back memories of my late Father and I plowing the fields as a child some fifty years ago in Southern Mississippi. I was to short to reach the top of the plowing, so I would hold on to the cross brace while walking in front of my Father. Until I was strong enough to hold the plowing in place while following behind the borrowed mule named Kate. Thanks for the memories of my childhood.
She was totally thinking I’m to old for this mess 😂 she did good though.. I don’t know much about horses and would love to get 1 some day, majestic animals..
This is one of your best videos yet. It's a pleasure to see animals work. BTW, that was an interesting tip about drought and cultivation. It makes sense tilled earth would have dead air pockets making it just like home insulation.
That was great Brother! We use to work horses so much and I agree with you that a day will come when we will be doing it again. Use to have enough harness for 14 horses. We used bigger draft horses though. The smallest collars we used, I believe was 24 inch, right up to 30 inch. Watching your videos makes me feel melancholy. I kinda miss those days working with the horses. Best wishes my Friend and thanks for the video.
Really enjoyed this video. Brought back a rush of old memories. I only plowed one round of about an acre field, but learned that the horse doesn't do all the work. Keeping the plow in the ground and headed in the right direction requires both effort and skill.
This was so awesome ! I loved it ! It sure was soothing watching you go through the rows. That soil worked up just about perfect . It would be nice to buy a horse already trained . That might be a lot of work cultivating with a horse but I see it as fun to lol . Thanks for sharing this with us !!
What a majestic beast. Whose hard work lightens your burdens. Our land survey was completed yesterday. We are one step closer to TN. My Hubby’s Pap was a mule skinner. Thank you. I enjoyed this video. You are a fine teacher. God Bless y’all.
There’s not many people live there lives like you and your family my hats off to you sir. Great job raising your kids to know how to work for a living.
Man somehow I missed this video and it came up in the algorithm. Nevertheless, this video brings back fond memories. My grandfather had long stopped farming with horses by the time I came along, but he kept all his horse drawn implements. My sister and I would garden /play farmer with them. We’d hook them up to the lawn tractor. She’d drive and I’d walk behind the plow, cultivator or spring tooth harrow. He had a riding disc harrow, but wouldn’t let us play with that. He was afraid she’d fall off the tractor and I’d run over her with the disc.😂😂😂. Once I learned how to drive and use the Farmalls, I succumbed to “red power” and never looked back. The old implements got hung up in the machine shed never to be used again. I did inherit his horse drawn dump rake that I proudly display on the property near my flag pole. Would have loved to been around when he was still farming with horses, just to have learned how to work them. Also it amazes me everytime I go back and see one of these older videos just to see how much the boys have grown. Time is truly matching on and waits for no man.
Well imagine how I feel. 🤣🤣🤣It does my old soul good to see them grow into manhood being taught and using the old sustainable ways. Hopefully they and others will serve as the remnant, after we are long gone, and continue the teaching and traditions of a Holy and holistic lifestyle. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
ya know I thought y'all might be loosely anabaptist affiliated but never would have thought you had tried your hand at being Amish. You mentioned the symptoms of an overworked horse in the video and got me thinking and remembering. I don't know what Amish folks do for an over worked horse aside from resting it but When I was a kid my grandpa taught me how to do the basics hilling corn and taters with a moldboard and an old lead broke pony he had. We wouldn't over work her but he has always told me that when he was growing up if a horse got overworked they'd feed it cross vine when they put them away at night and the next day they'd be ready to go again. I know that for myself if I get overworked and get shaky crampy muscles I always need some electrolytes. Salt and potassium and sugar, plus some good carbohydrate and protein and 10 hours of sleep. I've thought about trying to find some cross vine for ME! 😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I guess it is native a little further south because when folks quit cultivating it the stuff pretty much disappeared up here in West Virginia. I've never seen one growing wild. Has orange flowers and is supposed to have a cross inside the stem if you cut a piece. It would be interesting to know how well it works but probably not too fun for the horse victim of such an experiment 🤣
Great video!!! My grandpa trained and worked mules. The ole timers never had an animal on the farm that didn’t work. Horses , mules and dogs all had to earn their pay. If they didn’t work are hunt they wasn’t around long. Couldn’t afford to feed them.
who needs rain when you sweat that much lmao good video and i learned a lot. it would be cool to do an asmr video on this. the clopping, chains rattling, dirt turning made for a calming sound. also noticed that being hot and sweaty brought out a lot more honesty out of you lol(not calling you a horse trader lol) who knows once a week you could work a horse and just have a mcgie opinion hour lol or something similar. might make a good video series
What a good little mare! I'll have to admit to binge watching your videos lately. This one is really special. Reminds me of the two plow mules my great grandaddy had up in east TN. Gee and Haw were their names. Haw was my favorite. He was perfect in front of a plow but the second my backside would hit his back, I was in the dirt. 😂😂😂 We were both stubborn about it. He was determined not to let me ride him and my Cherokee x Irish hardheadedness was determined to anyway. We were both 50% successful. Great memories!!
Man I've walked many of miles behind one of those plows! It brings back old memories from my Amish background. I got out of the Amish lifestyle when I was 19 years old
Are used to have a Haflinger and I always used him to plow my tobacco with. I had a tractor that I could’ve used but I just enjoyed using the horse. I had two real nice harnesses made out of bioplastic and they was nice. If they ever got dirty all you had to do is get a rag and wipe them off and they look brand new all over again.
My PaPa Braswell used to grow sweet Taters and one time a man wanted to buy a half bushel My PaPa told him He wasn’t gone cut one of His Taters in half to sell him a half bushel 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤙🏻🙏🏼❤️
Katie Bell is a beautiful girl. We used to give old General Lee Molasses water when he got to sweating to the point of muscle twitching after a work out or a run. My Uncle told us it was a horses Gatorade. Lol He also got molasses on his feed oats. That was precious when the dog jumped up on it's hind legs to give Katie Bell a kiss. Thank you for sharing Micah. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. And may God continue to bless you and your family.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Spent some summers in the country others camping and fishing, Dad hunting... Talking to Mama, Granny, Nana, Pop Pop, Grandaddy, Aunt's and Uncle's you Learn Things loved listening to stories while helping then work. I was the little girl always bugging everyone asking how this worked or why you do that or what seasoning are you using... Lol 🤣thinking about it now I bet every time they saw me it was like .... Oh no here she comes again... Lol
My dad used to plow with mules my granddad had about 300 acres he farmed in the 1930's cotton and corn I never knew or don't remember how many mules he owned but up until the early 1970's we still had most of the harnesses still hanging in the old barn each harness had a pin that it hung on. With the name of each mule Painted on the wall above. My dad was always jealous of the mules cause they got roughly 1 &1/2 hours for rest 11:30 till 1:00 pm but, he and the other hands got 30 minutes for lunch becaused they had to grab a hoe after harnessing and un harnessing the the mules for break there was a cotton or corn patch near the barn lot and it had to be hoed out. Plus he hated those calm day with the mules always farting they expell alot of gas when working he said it stank badly. The extension service agent told me that when it was dry to plow. Cultivate because the loose soil would act as a type of mulch allowing the deeper soil to retain moisture where it was covered by the loose soil Uhmmn?
OH MICAH THIS WAS JUST WONDERFUL, TOOK ME RIGHT BACK TO YESTERYEAR WHEN FATHERS PLOUGHED THEIR FIELDS WITH GOOD OLD SWEAT, TEARS, AND THEIR TRUSTY WILLING HORSE! BOUGHT ME BACK TO A FAVOURITE HYMN, WE PLOUGH THE FIELDS AND SCATTER THE GOOD SEED ON THE LAND, FOR IT IS FED AND WATERED BY GOD’S ALMIGHTY HAND. SHE IS SUCH A SWEET GIRL AND SHE DID REALLY GOOD BLESS HER, ON HER FIRST TRY OUT OF RETIREMENT. THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK FOR THE OLD GIRL BUT SHE WAS A CHAMP! I LOVE THESE MAJESTIC ANIMALS THEY ARE SO OBEYING AND INTELLIGENT. LOVED SEEING YOUR LIL BOY PLOUGHING THAT WAS GREAT FOR HIM TO EXPERIENCE. REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO BUDDY 👍
Me and Mom enjoyed todays video. She is beautiful she did amazing work for how old she is well done katiebell! Nice to see everyone getting involved. Cold shower is a must its Hot over here but not compared to your heat hahah. I bet katiebell drank for England and had a shower herself 😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures 😂😂 I cant believe how hot it gets where you are. Me and family are melting. Mom said How long did it take to finish? Mom also said I bet there was a fight for the bath/shower
I was 9 years old when I got my first pony. She was a yearling. Over time I rode her, hitched her to a buggy and I rode her while my Dad walked behind cultivating the garden. I was 42 when she died. How long has that corn been planted? Fields of corn up here are taller. Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too
Field corn🌽,.. sweet corn... 🌽, pop corn 🍿...Indian corn 🌽...Should we maybe leap into the future and invent a battery powered electric cultivator?🤔🤔🙏🙏
Give her old legs a nice liniment rub. I can smell it now. Bigger & faster got the soil & us into trouble I believe. Being in touch with the soil & the animals you depend upon makes the work complete. I'm thankful for people who have walked this path in life. Having a skilled trade myself (that is dying but ever necessary) my focus is passing my skills down too. It's the only way we'll survive this together. What a beautiful life Michah.
If i tied those plow lines together and looped them around my back or shoulders my daddy would use them on my axx. If the mule or horse spooked you are history.
Very true… but if you’re going to operate a walking plow alone you have to. I can’t imagine trying to keep up with both lines while also guiding the plow. It would always end with a line getting away and the mule or horse running away.
I would love to see more videos teaching about how to hook everything up and what it's all called heard lot of stories from Dad but when I came along we had done got a tractor
where would someone even learn to do that now-a-days. that's incredible. I have an old to-20 i work my fields with but id love to learn to use actual horse power for a backup. kudos for keeping the tradition alive. spot on about the gas crises and emergencies also. A lot of people don't realize that we've only had electricity for less than 200 years. At some point or another some country is going to try and weaponize it or take advantage of it, we're seeing that now with all the hacks going on.

That old girl earned some sugar cubes and oats today!! I grew up around horses with both my grandfathers and it's a very fond part of my childhood.
That’s awesome! It’s always good to bring back those good ole memories! I should get her out more!

Those were some hard working days!😅😅😅
After all them years She did good🤙🏻🙏🏼🤠 at least you didn’t plow up your corn😂
Yes she did!
This is one of your best videos yet. It's a pleasure to see animals work. BTW, that was an interesting tip about drought and cultivation. It makes sense tilled earth would have dead air pockets making it just like home insulation.
Thanks brother! I’ve learned everything that I know from the good old timers that passed down the knowledge..... I’m happy to return the favor!!
Wow that was incredible...didn't know you had it in you.. . Awesome Willie...
😂😂😂 I lived strictly horse and buggy for over three years……. That was a great learning experience for me!!!
Amazing job! now that's what ya call teamwork! Nice job guys!
Thanks! We enjoyed it!
I knew she would remember. Animals are smart 🤘
It took her a minute to get in gear, but she did great!

Ole girl did very well for being in retirement! Brother, you did well too after being tractor spoiled 😜 Great video! I love the old way of living.
Thanks brother! That was fun!
I liked how you explained the pieces of the thing you put on her
Thanks! It’s definitely a skill from a different time!!
Does this ever bring back fond memories!! Great video, very educational!
Nothing like a horse that’s been there, done that. Good, solid girl!
Absolutely! Nothing beats experience!
I appreciate y'all too
Thanks!
Brings back old memories. My first horse was a 28 year old plow horse. She was my best friend.
Great memories!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Yes indeed. The very best.
That’s one awesome horse .. never seen anything like it
She’s very old …… unfortunately
Man that brings back memories! I spent quite a bit of my childhood behind a "Georgia walking stick" yelling "Haul and gee"!
That’s awesome! The younger generation doesn’t have a clue!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I'm like your horse now, I might need to be lead for a few rows to remember how.😂😂
One of your top videos 👍

Wow Katie~Belle is just as beautiful as always. I've barely started this video and I love it. ♡ You have a good camera man.
Thanks sis! I’m so happy to be able to do this after all these years!
Did some that when I grew tomatoes in the 60’s.
Tomatoes are a lot of work! Most I ever planted were 6000 plants.
Katie Bell is a beautiful girl.
We used to give old General Lee Molasses water when he got to sweating to the point of muscle twitching after a work out or a run. My Uncle told us it was a horses Gatorade. Lol
He also got molasses on his feed oats.

This is young corn..... it’ll get upwards of 12 feet tall! I’ll make some videos about it!

That’s something that you’re enterprising mind and Jake’s inventive mind should come together on!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures It might have been better said...., should we maybe gallop into the future???😁🤣

The other day you was side dressing by hand. Covington has a side dresser for 500 dollars
I’ll look into this thanks!!
Always wanted to farm with draft animals.
She’s a quarter Belgian and 3/4 Walking horse.

Thanks Miss Sherry!
I would love to see more videos teaching about how to hook everything up and what it's all called heard lot of stories from Dad but when I came along we had done got a tractor
Sounds great! I’ll try to do that!
The tractor that God made
You got that right!
Would you be willing to sell any seed from your corn I would love to try a pound when you harvest it keep up the great videos
We’ll see how it goes!👍
That would be great
All that bare soil
Not for long.
Hiw big is that feild?
About one acre.
great video would of been alot easier on the tractor but this was a joy to watch you working with the horse
Thanks my friend I enjoyed it!
I don't believe I've left enough comments on here yet. 🤣
Definitely not!😂😜😂
where would someone even learn to do that now-a-days. that's incredible. I have an old to-20 i work my fields with but id love to learn to use actual horse power for a backup. kudos for keeping the tradition alive.
spot on about the gas crises and emergencies also. A lot of people don't realize that we've only had electricity for less than 200 years. At some point or another some country is going to try and weaponize it or take advantage of it, we're seeing that now with all the hacks going on.
Absolutely correct! And now more than ever we are a vulnerable people!🙄 I think it’s just a matter of time!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures agreed!
I’d love to hear your life story, and how you got to where you are.
This video has a good bit of history 😉
