I'm glad you're not my hairdresser Jim!
Lol
😂❤
Lol
I used to French braid my hair every day and would kid around about looking like a horse's tail.
I’m sorry for the losses in your family.
I laughed out loud when you said hack job. As a hairdresser I completely agree with that statement 😂 Brenda, don’t let Jim near your hair 🤣 with those clippers. I’m so glad Ken is a little better.
They did really well together. You’re such a good trainer.
Thank you Jim and Brenda. I like the way you trim the tails. The tool box for the clipper is a really good idea.❤❤
is it good to oil the clippers before putting them away?
"The hackiness will go away." 😂 🤣 Glad to hear Ken is improving!
I been watching your videos for 3 years
I was born on a farm where my dad worked with mules. I'm sorry to hear about Buck dying. I think you,Bill,& Baron work good together.
I felt so bad seeing Ken limping, but glad that he is doing better. Baron and Bill look good together. We're rooting for you Ken!
I'm new here. I thought the same thing. He looks like it's painful.
Just to keep the blades in your new clippers in tip top condition, I would invest in some clipper lube spray that you use before and after clipping the horses manes and tails. It will keep them from rusting and pulling when they start to get dull. It will prolong the life of the clippers too. And get a small brush or use an old toothbrush to sweep away any hair that has collected in the clippers.
Spraying the lube on when they heat up helps as well.
Oh Boy! A good laff! "Welcome to The Hack Shack". Jim you looked so funny, with that raggedy tail, hair piled around, Brenda chuckling and Lady dropping a mess in the background!😂😂😂 The glamorous life of a lumberjack logger...😁(🙄😁).
Good grief! Now there's Tail Hair for Sale! I love it!
Bill and Barron make a good looking team. I hope they continue to work good together, Im looking forward to seeing them in the woods together.
Loved seeing Baron working with Bill. A well trained stud is no different than any other well trained horse. He's young he just needs the work put in same as people say about wet saddle blankets. He's going to make you a fine member of the team. He's beautiful. I am really glad you have him. To see someone appreciate the Suffolk Punch. Maybe you can explain to people the specialness of this Heritage Breed and there not being that many of them available. Henceforth why he's a stallion. Keep up the good work, love to watch your teams work. My late Grandpa used to work for the county back in the day he used a team of draft mares to cut the highways and byways. Showing my age ! Thanks Jim for keeping work horses working.
I am 3/4 way through the video and it seems that Baron and Bill are working at the same pace, which must make you happy. They look good together as well.
I agree, it seems like, even at this early stage, they seem to be equally yoked , quick stepping, fast, and swift, maybe slightly wild or a little more risk. Ah ha, But Baron is just a teenager, he will continue to improve.
Your hard work is paying off. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither not were work horses. They appear to be coming along good. Well done Mr. Jim.
Two very fast and strong horses together, Jim's definitely getting a work out lol.Good to see our dear sweet Kenny in a box stable rather then a stall at this time, you can see the pain he's in...but with rest he'll be fine 🤞 much love to all ❤
I like the conformation of the Suffix Punch, bred to work.
That Barron is a gem Bill seems to be unsettled with Baron otherwise what a team. They did excellent from what I saw
I'm glad your travels went well and sending my condolences to you all. Hugs to sweet Kenny. So glad to see him getting better. It's easy to see with all the work they are in how clipping helps. Nice and clean, less time consuming, easier to harness. We don't wear a tuxedo or ball gown to go work in the garden! Lol!
For a young fella Barton looks to be doing great. He’s got a bit of energy but that’s ok. Thank you for posting. Prayers for Kenny. God Bless.
It never ceases to amaze me how perfectly Jim backs his equipment into the barn so perfectly with horses, not a steering wheel. I watch lots of horsey stuff, and this is the best. I've never seen teams that are stepping in such synchronicity. Brenda's filming and the whole world of these beautifully trained horses...well, I look forward to every single glimpse of your wholesome lives and work that you share with us. Even the thermometer details. Oh, my!
Impressed with the way you back the trailer into the barn!
Hi Jim, Brenda, SO glad you both made it home safely, and your weekend plans went well. So glad ken is getting better, and Bill, and Baron worked so good together. I realy enjoy watching horses work the fields and woods, rather than old tractors....Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada...GOD BLESS>
Yes please, as a horse lover I could make really impressive hair extensions with your cast-offs!
So glad Ken's poor leg is improving.
Jim, the way you manouvre those beasts around is amazing! Turns, backups, sidepasses, to get them and cart perfectly aligned into the shed!
There is an incredible amount of different skill required in your job. That's why we all are so engrossed in your and Brenda's channel! Thankyou
Until a stallion has had mares there is little to worry about if he has been raised right. And even then, he should still be happy to spend the off-season with another male. I think your horses are well mannered and conditioned. In that last backup to put the manure wagon away there was a bit of a kafuffle but that was because Baron through Bill was dragging him around. Baron is still learning about backing in a pair. And yes, they did both look a little out of sorts then. Lol re the thermometer! These things happen when learning about new equipment.
My Clydesdale stallion and my Quarterhorse stallion were the same age and lived together in the same pasture from weaning until they were almost 5yrs old. They each began getting mares then but in the off-seasons of every year after that they looked forward to spending the winters together. The clydie would get worked and or ridden 2-3days each week and the QH got ridden most of the other days of each week. Even in old age, way past 20, and no longer getting mares, they still lived together in the same pasture and it turned out they were put to sleep only a few months apart.
Thanks for filming Brenda!
Bill and Baron make a nice looking team. 👍👍😁
Hope Ken’s leg swelling goes down soon. ❤️
I’m glad to see Ken is improving I love ❤️ black horses 🐎 , also Ken a hard working guy. Feel badly when he has pain like that. You two are so caring with your animals. And so sorry for your loss. 😢 Much love ❤️ from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
It’s so funny to watch as you’re backing them in the barn and you say HA and Barron doesn’t move and Bill leans over to nudge him over and Barron starts to paw, you can tell he’s a little confused by the assignment but his licking and chewing at the end shows he’s understanding the job! I want to thank you for your videos because I am new to driving and there’s no one around here to teach me, I’ve had horses for 25 years but no driving experience. So far my Brabant mare has been doing great teaching me the ropes and together we are teaching my coming two year old spotted draft mare how to drive. Your videos sure have been helpful. We plan to do some farming and gardening this year. Keep up the great work and videos I’m learning TONS!
No matter how old or experienced we are always learning HOPEFULLY
Poor sweet Kenny. Cellulitis is very painful. I've dealt with it multiple times, once being hospitalized because it was so serious, so if it's the same kind of reaction in equine as humans, Ken is in severe pain and it's very serious. In humans it usually begins from a scratch or cut on the leg that bacteria gets into the bloodstream. Bill and Baron did very well together I thought. I was thinking the whole time that Bill has met his match with another horse hitched beside him that has lots of energy! They both like to move those legs fast!!! Great day of training and work!👍
Ich dacht es kann auch von Zeckenbissen kommen, oder von Stechfliegen.
Diese können viele Bakterien in sich tragen. Am bekantesten ist Borelliose.
Thank you Jim and Brenda. I like the way you trim the tails. That tool box for the clippers is such a good idea.❤❤
A good tail trim is proof positive that tail docking is not necessary. (Especially the extreme ones, that amputate the tail!)
I so much enjoy watching you work with your horses! Also, thanks Brenda for filming!
Just found this and am enjoying it very much! Only annoying thing is the very loud sounds of your activities and movements when not talking. Only an observation! Thank you for a new learning experience.
Working men wear workman's clothes. Movie stars wear movie star clothes. These horses are working men, and they wear workman's clothes. Working men don't have time for long beautiful tresses. That belongs on the silver screen.
Bill does not have Kenny's patience. He's like "GET OUT OF MY WAY, KID!" I know the time working Bill with Kenny was annoying, but I can see that it did Bill some good. He isn't starting so aggressively as he used to. You may need that brain strap again for a few days of working Bill with Baron, however. He's still wanting to outwalk Baron and outwork him. He was lathered coming in, and Baron had hardly broken a sweat. That said, he seems a bit more relaxed than he used to be. They did really well together.
Baron is kind of in the position of a teenage boy back in the day, when there had been sickness and death in the family and he had no choice but to go to work to support the family. The plans might have been to bring him on slowly, but you aren't just playing with your horses. You need them to make a living. He's old enough, and he's just going to have to step up and get the work done. He'll be okay. He'll be tired and sore every night for the first few weeks, but he'll be beautifully fit and strong going into the summer. Look at it as going to boot camp. By the time he's a daddy, he'll have settled into it. If it weren't so cold, a liniment bath at the end of the day would do him a world of good, but by the time it is warm enough, he'll probably be past being sore.
Well Said, I have lived what you described.
Baron is closer to 4 than 3, I think he will be 4 by the time field work comes, I forget his birthday, I know Jim don't work them hard b4 4 , it seems we are perfectly on track, I say we, ah ha.😄, I think it may work out just in a nick of time, God like.. by the Middle of June Lady will be coming back, and Duke and Earl may start doing some light chores, by Fall, Baron will be ready for the woods and Jim will be back to having 4 big work horses, Ken, Bill, Lady, and Baron. By this time next yr. , Duke and Earl will be pulling round bails around and we will be all commenting on how cute the new colt is.
:-)
Jim, I learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you very much!!
I guess you are pleased with young Barron, what a fine lad he is. Im glad he and Bill did well together, it's nice to be able to use different horses together.
Baron is evolving into a valuable team member.
Baron looks like he might be a left side horse. He stood so well at the truck body until you asked him to go. love to watch you back them into the barn . I use to drive carriages in Florida and I love showing off my horses parallel park skills.
Looks like Bill felt out of place when backing up because he was used to the other side. But he's adjusting. Good horses 🐎 ((hugs)) 🤗💛
@ 10:23 - 10:39,,,, I thought Jim was going to be the sled!🤣
Was thinking the same, esp with the snow and ice. He had little traction!
Your videos are really coming along & becoming much more interesting. I’m so impressed because Jim is so damned experienced with the horses & his farm work. It’s beautiful to see!
Thanks, Brenda, for all your effort to keep up with the boys for your photography!
Master Teamster!!
Bill and Baron look great together
Bill schooling Baron backing in with the spreader, like move over boy! 😂
I felt a little nervous watching you hitch these two boys together for the first time. Baron and Bill are beautiful horses and seem well matched in size. I wonder which of the teams (if you took poor Buck into account) are the strongest, or fastest. I pray Ken gets well very soon, I love him. Your videographer does a great job!
Ah, Bill and Baron worked well together. Good that you found that solution. I'm very glad that Ken does better! Hopefully he will be ready for next season work on the farm. Looking forward to come visit then 😁 Wish you all a wonderful evening! Take care -Chris
Hope to see you Chris! I remember when Trudy and Abby visited your farm in Germany!
May the Lord bless and protect you and Brenda and the animals and working the horses
Bill and Baron look great together. Can't wait to see more. Great video as always.
I am so pleased to see how well Bill and Baron did together. I'm not surprised though and I can only praise you on how well you keep your horses. They are loved, well fed and get medical help always straight away. They trust you and are fit and healthy. I have seen sadly much too often horses that are negleted badly but are still expected to work hard😢 A healthy happy horse that trusts it's owner will always give 100% I am so glad to see Ken looking and walking better. Love from Germany ❤
I am pleased to learn that Ken is getting better. Cellulitis, is a terrible infection, not only is it painful, but it can spread so rapidly. I hope you can eradicate this problem with his leg.
Sometimes it takes lengthy treatment with several antibiotics to really knock out the infection, especially if it gets lodged in a joint. It can lay dormant for years, only to erupt again with the slightest injury. That is why it is sometimes called "joint ill".
Backing with a manure spreader hooked to a cart with two horses one that is green!!! That is some serious backing skills. Get some Jim!!!
Don't let him near your beautiful hair Brenda 😂 best wishes from England UK 🇬🇧
Ah ha.😄
I was so happy to see Kenny back in his stall and obviously feeling better. Poor guy had us all worried.
Could not wait to hear how Ken was doing.Glad he is doing better. Both Bill and Baron had quite the pick-up-and-go in the beginning. Then they slowed down even going towards the barn. Great exercise/workout. 5 loads! Their desire to go fast would work years ago If you want to get somewhere fast with a load.
Bill and Baron.
Ken is on the I R list.
I know that is,what you ment. :-)
You have said several times, you are hoping Bill and Baron moved out about the same speed. For the most of what I saw, they weren't doing too bad. A time or two Baron was behind, but not too bad. Other than his little fit backing up into the barn, he looked really well. He's young and it just takes time. Another great video. Also hope Ken is better soon.
In his defense, his little fit potentially may have been prompted by Bill mouthing him. Bill seems to enjoy Baron, he's been lipping at him since they met.
I like watching the calm demeanor of the driver. My dad drove a mule "Kit" working up a garden. An "uncle" as we called dad's friend worked a mule and a stud pony pulling a hay cutter and then a rake. He tied a strap to the stud pony's bridle bit back to the hame to minimize his head movement toward the mule. Stud pony's don't like mules! But it worked for him. This is not easy work! Good sleeping work dad called it! Thanks for the videos.
I have watched hours and hours of your wonderful videos ...I can never thank you enough for the pleasure they have brought me. Bless you and your beautiful farm.
We have between 36 to 43 deer every day in Our yard and about 60 Pheasants. Snow is deep so They stick in yard. I've been blowing paths for Them to travel and We have 135 evergreen trees that They sorta home in.
I thought that I had plenty with 5 or 7 deer, but 36 to 43, wow!
Where you located (generally). If you want to divulge.
@@donaldvogtsberger1105 Minnesota
That large pen/stall is coming in pretty handy
Get better soon Ken!!
Bill is probably saying, “At least I’m finally teamed up with someone who walks as fast as I like to!” The boys looked good together. Could you please elaborate what Ken’s poultice consists of? Thanks for sharing your time.
I really enjoy these videos showing the training and highlighting the progress Baron is making. Your creative editing of previous clips and incorporating them into the current video to show the difference is t and great to see.
I know it’s a lot of work on your part but want to know it’s appreciated.
Baron and Bill looked and worked good together🙌🏼 Baron has lots of spunk! The video shot of Jim and the horses at 23:09 with the tree was a cool shot🙌🏼Would make a good calendar photo. Good job to all of you👏🤠🐴🇨🇦
Poor Ken :( I hope he gets better soon!! I think baron did a great job!! Great Job, BOYS ...God Bless
❤️ Kenny… hope he’s doing better today!!
Amen to Jim not being anyone's hairdresser. Poor Ken that leg just makes me hurt for him. Prayers it is better soon.
Jim’s Barber Shop. Any style you want as long as it’s a shag and crew cut!
Jim's video of Baron being a Stallion reminds me of one of my favorite movie, The Man From Snowy River. Man how I loved that movie, and love horses!!! They are such amazing animals. I truly believe horses could be called man's best friend too!
Impressive progress with Baron!
Baron sure is a nice looking horse, glad to see Ken is getting better. I can not wait to see what kind of pulling power Baron will have someday when he is trained to that level.
I also roach the manes, just got done doing that in fact. I just wisp out the tails with a sharp knife, makes a more natural-looking tail. My clippers are an old set of Sunbeams, likely 30 years old from cattle showing days.
You are fortunate to have Brenda to head up Baron there! I never like ground driving a frisky team on ice, always worry I'll slip and things get out of hand fast...
Funny thing I haven't seen a single deer all winter. They must have migrated to a better climate!
Hey those two boys looked good working with each other ❤😊their both such pretty horses ❤😊
Jim , Baron is the most respectful, quiet, level headed three year old stud colt I've ever had the pleasure to see and I've seen alot.
Beyond a doubt if you keep him intact he will be an amazing work horse by the time he's fully grown.
His progress has been a joy to watch.
Thanks for sharing your hard work with others.
I love your videos, the logging and saw mill content is nice too, thank you Jim and Brenda!
Thanks Brenda and Jim. 👍👍
I will be glad when Jim have 3 teams! Ken and Baron, Lady and Bill, and Duke and Earl!
Well, I admit I've always loved thick long manes and tails, but on a working draft horse I can see why you have to do it. Anyway, it'll show off their powerful hindquarters.
I'm a long tail girl, but for your purpose, short is so much better to not get tangled! At least you don't dock the bone👏 Maybe Brenda if you get some of those oxygen absorbers in your vitamin or other products, you could throw them in your clipper box to keep them from getting moisture. I'm so glad Ken is getting better. Good workout with the boys💙
Job well done by all! The horses are doing well working together. Jim it shows your method of training is tried and true. Brenda great on the video!
Ooo, I want the tail hair to make jewelry.. thanks for the video
Glad Ken is doing better. Thanks for sharing
That went rather well. I did suspect that you might just have tried to work Bill and Baron together before you had the problem with Ken's leg to cover. Baron worked the left side and with a horse he had never worked with before and you took Bill out of his "comfort zone" too and apart from the little disagreement over the alignment when backing the spreader in, they did well. It would be fair to call that a good result. Ken is slowly and steadily picking up which is another good result. It now looks as though all four of your horses will work together when able and needed even though Baron is in no way ready for heavy work just yet, it is still a good result. A fair reward for the work you have all (Jim and Brenda, and I am not forgetting Petra) have put in.
Bill Behrend
Sorry for Buck's passing and your other losses. It's hard to lose a friend.
I love this team, the Bill Baron team. Look at my name. How nice to name them after me!
I just started training my Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever dog to pull a cart. I've been watching you carefully and applying your teachings to this process. Baxley is marginally not sure of this. He loves to go for walks and thinks the harness (from Wild ask Woodworks) means walks, but hooked to my stone boat (that's what we called it on the SD farm) he becomes skeptical. I'm sure he will learn to love it soon.
My farmer Dad grew up during the time of horse farming and the switch to mechanical traction caused in part by the equine encephalitis epidemic that ravaged the horse herd worldwide. He'd say "Horses are better. You can't put lights on horses."
I'm enjoying my Bill Behrend team, whoops spelled it wrong.
Jim the Lord was sure with you in buying Baron. You would be dead in the water or have to
do your work with the tractor. God bless you and your horses. Lady will need quite sometime after
the foal is born to get back in shape.
Jim, I'll be up to have you trim a little off of my sides 😁
Jim you blow my mind . Your are a keeper of horses . Love you Julien Lamarche
Barron looks like he is still fighting that bit. Lots of foam on his mouth. Good videos keep them coming.
I am really glad you brought it up first. No, I do not want tail hair, but when you buzz off Baron's mane, can we get little braids of it? Just a little memento to remember his great hair by. Roached is better for working, I think. Cleaner and more comfortable, but he does have nice hair.
Great idea!👍
Looks like Prince is coming along nicely Jim.
That's true as they say no crying over spilled milk
Hope to see Ken back out and feeling better, Yes that team worked very well together and reverse like a 50 year veteran truck diver, I grew up riding with my Dad out hauling hay for the cows, he used horses all through from the 50's into the 70's plowing ,haying, pulling stumps, hauling firewood, sometimes just out for a picnic, miss those days :)
I saw a video the other day and a horse that was petting a cat with the skin around it's nostrils and above it's upper lip. It is sort of like humans can wiggle their nose. The horse was able to move the skin on top of his mouth or nose and use it like we open and close our hands. This may help a horse move grass into it mouth.
Are you going to make a horse hair pillow. When I was a kid I had a horse hair mattress it was very comfortable and warm in the winter. Hope your team works good for you.
Thank you 😊
Pretty sharp Team you have they will do well
Aww, made me sad to see Ken’s leg, and how he was having trouble walking. Sure hope he heals soon.
Bill is asking himself the age old question, who the hell did I piss off to have to work with the new guy!?
Spunky boys❤ Gorgeous together!
Hi friends enjoyed the video have a day love from TEXAS
We bought a mare with a roached mane.
It took 20 years to get it grown out and then she got in cockle burs.
Dad went and clipped her mane! :(
Looking good!!!! 🤗
I used to see mules with wire baskets over their muzzles. It was to keep them from biting.
Das habe ich früher auch schon einmal bei Pferden gesehen.
I'm a new subscriber 😁 I've owned horses and I love horses!!! I believe you do if so I'll keep watching. God Bless
Nice work everybody
Beatiful animals!
The boys work very well together ;)
