Colt Training Doesn't Always Go As Planned!!! // Preparing the Cabin for Winter

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- Today we find that colt training doesn't always go as planned!! We took our Suffolk Punch Colts, Duke and Earl, out with our Percheron Team, Ken & Don. Duke broke his rope and ran home alone. Jim, Brenda, and Abby also work on preparing the cabin for winter- vacuuming and weed eating!

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!

Interesting how you handled Duke breaking loose - let him figure out to follow you and the other horses. thanks for showing us the sleigh ride cabin - very warm (looking) and cozy.
This just goes to show how well you have trained your horses and how much they trust you! Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of life!
Thanks Jim. Duke trusts you 100 %. That last little circle was such a good idea.
I have a picture of my grandmother at age 12 in a long dress, stand on the side of their sleigh. My great grandfater had a dairy herd (hand milked) in southeastern Ontario, and they did almost all horsedrawn vehicles until well into the 50’s.
Sounds like there is a long history of horses in your family!
I love Duke and Earl, it gives me such pleasure to watch those two gorgeous russet horses learn and grow. Abby's Christmas nails look beautiful!
I just love the Suffolk babies
Brenda thinks they are extremely lovable as well
Great video. Nice cabin setup. Love the needlework of Jim and the horses that his mother made.
Thanks for another nice video. And yes Abby I think your nails are beautifully painted. it brings Christmas a little closer. Even here in Friesland.
GREAT VID, LOVE THE CABIN, UK
bonjour Abby, Brenda et Jim... many thanks for the video. that stove looks mighty inviting with so much cold in the air. Abby what beautiful nails... y'all have a great rest of your day, it's nighttime here and cold. à bientôt
Thanks for the adventure, you are a fun family. ❤
Glad to see Ken is doing better and I think I could stay in that cabin months at a time it's really nice 👌 😊
The side Duke was fastened too, like some one else said there's a piece of metal that sticks up, he was catching his hoof on that!
Merry Christmas to you all and the horses too. 🎄
Abby your nails are very nice and it's always a joy to see you come and hang out with your mom and dad
Wow, that was an exciting video. I'm so happy that all worked out well with Duke. He clearly loves his home and people. Abby, love your red and green nails! The cabin is cozy and inviting. Your grandmother's fabric picture is really charming. I like the way you talk to the horses, Abby. Just like an short interview with people. Ha ha, at the end, behind you, Abby, Duke looked like he was trying to untie himself! Smart one, that Duke.
Thank you so much!
Even so, they are well behaved horses. I had one when I was a kid and only got to be with him on weekends. But I was never able just to call him and have him come. I has to traipse all over the acreage to get him.
Thankyou so much for another video. It has cooled down here in Iowa as it’s been in the 90s. Thanks again.
Thanks Abby got my calendar today in the mail 👍
Hope you like it!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim yes love it
Gosh where has the year gone, I can't believe a year has gone by since we were watching you last winter getting the cabin ready for visitors. Keep safe and well everyone best wishes from the North Norfolk Coast UK ,Carol and Sue.
Great video the colts are so big now. They seem to be coming along real nice. Glad to see Ken improving.
Beautifully behaved horses standing so well with the generator and trimmer going. Especially the youngsters. They have terrific potential in your hands. I do love Suffolk’s and those two are a great advert for a very rare breed.
As for you saying your boys are colts they are so well behaved colts I have ever seen I been around horses most of my life and I'm beginning to like your channel so I will add and thank you for sharing your life with us all 🤗
Think the problem with ken's fillid legs could be winter laminitis due to standing all night in cold conditions. Have you tried massaging his and applying wool bandages loosely apied. Put some straw on top of sawdusr for bedding this might help. Hope he gets better soon.
Thanks again for a good video , good to see Jim the horses know your voice and obey you , love those nails Abbey , those Colts look good Jim , have a good week to everyone god bless
Thanks, you too!
I love watching your channel! Your cabin is awesome! The colts are such good boys! Abby your Christmas nails are beautiful!
Thank you!!
Beautiful animals treated so well.
Cabin looks cozy 😀
Nice Christmas nails. Love all you share. Blessings to you all.
A suggestion; Attached a Metal ring to your two by, out on the end and it might to keep the lead rope from getting around the two by. Just a thought.
Abby loved the nails. Duke and Earl are growing so fast and filling out quite nicely. Loved the Art Work by your Mother, Jim. Jim and Brenda thanks for all your hard working bringing us into your world of "Life on the Farm" with Draft horses. I look forward to your videos. Merry Christmas, Peace be with you and many Blessings.❤
Thanks for watching!
Nice Cabin
Thanks for sharing
Always a joy to see one of the girls they are always so funny with their dry commentary. Love the cabin and rink.
I'm gettin pretty old, and I've been around a whole lotta different places, and seen a whole lotta different things, but this is the first time that I've ever seen anyone weed-eating an ice skating rink! Jim, you get the prize for the most unusual thing that I've seen today, so congratulations! 🏆👏
haha, it is unusual!😀
From 27 the other morning to 58 this morning. This crazy N.Y weather. High winds for us today. Hope it's nice up your way Jim & Ms. Brenda.
10:41 he slows down for the snow, clever enough to know the difference
Thanks for sharing! Like your nails
Very creative Brenda the head board with with chalkboard paint , everything is looking great for winter ❄️❄️❄️🥶 so funny about duke he reminds me of the way some of my dogs act when they would get out 😊
Thanks, yes, they know!
and a big thumps up on the nails
I know where you're going through man I've been 2 months trying to get rid of mine pneumonia blood clots heart attack weak in the hospital seem really kicked my but really hope you get feeling better before too much spring work comes around the corner it'll be here before you know it God bless you best of luck
Yes, love the sparkly Christmas nails!

I just Love this channel n O yell hi. Abby ...
abby your christmas nails look beautiful, nice to see ken,s doing better. l like your cabin very much i could stay in a cabin like that. jim you trained the colts very well like i new you would.....jim dartmouth nova scotia canada.
Love your Christmas nails Abby. Your horses are so well trained. It was fun watching to see what Duke would do.
thanks
Duke of Hazard! 🐴😆 Glad it worked out well. The cabin is looking good! I'm sure there are many generations of kids that have fond memories of days going on a sleigh ride to have fun ice skating and drinking hot cocoa while playing games near the cozy fire 💕🐎🛷
I like your little cabin
I sure you built it yourself. Reminds me of a sugar shack we used to boil maple syrup in in Ontario. Iam sure it's cozy.
Excellent video. We done to ye all. Good to hear the colt is OK
Thanks 👍
Dzień dobry bardzo fajne filmiki bardzo miło się ogląda pozdrawiam całą rodzinkę z Polski !
Looks like you will have to give Duke a little extra attention. In the closing he was in the background chewing on the knot in his rope. 🙂
Yes, he might need that!
its amazing how duke didnt go off exploring and came back to you and the barn in the end! and earl is beautiful! a real stud muffin lol
glad to hear ken is doing better, really interesting to see the issue from start to end with treatment and exercise c:
thanks
Good evening Jim,Brenda and Abbey,Looks like the colts are doing very well and getting bigger day by day.That picture in the cabbin is really very good indeed,think l would have to have it at home though ....so beautiful.The last video was brilliant and William showed no sign of tiering and definitely ready for another round,prancing around like a two years old lol beautiful boy.All the very best dear friends 🌱🌱🌱💕
Duke is a very smart fella....he's going to do well when his time to "step up" comes!! The respect an animal has for it's handler, is obviously based off the respect the animal feels from it's handler....along with a little domenice, nice work Jim;!
Love the xabin
So glad Ken is getting better! The colts did well, even if Duke did go AWOL for a little while! ❤️
Suggest ring bolts through those steel uprights on the sled for tethering the colts? Then duct tape round the boards for a smooth surface. May I also suggest chicken netting on those wooden steps at the cabin - grip not slip.
Duke is on the naughty list! Lol!
Hi Abby, like the nails, good for the Christmas season, thanx.
Our cow pasture would flood every winter and we would go skating on it. The swamp grass would stick up thru it and catch out skates and cause a fall. We didn't have weed whackers back then. Last time I skated there was the week before I had to report to the Army. I took my girlfriend on a skating date and visited my grandmother before I had to leave. Fifty years plus ago.
Thanks for sharing the memories
Great video! Abby, your nails are fabulous!
Thanks!
Duke is off on a solo adventure 😆
travelling around the country side ask the leyland brothers
Jim you always have to have one firecracker and Duke is it for today, Looks cold and slippery. Awesome video to all of you and even to Duke, what a showboater he is. GOD Bless your weekend all.
Suggest putting the generator on an old tire it will keep down the vibration.
Thanks for the suggestion
Well I guess Earl will be the "Butt" of many a joke from now on. Sorry about that. but I couldn't resist. Just really glad he did not get hurt. But (there's that but again) it did get him some "Free" time to lolly gag around the field on the way back to the barn. Also Glad Jim did not go thru the ice. it's pretty precarious this time of the year and the weather we've had in the northeast has be up and down temp wise. we have a 60-70 deg day coming up next week! and its Dec!!! Thanks for a nice ride out to the cabin and pond. Duke & Earl and Buck and ken were somewhat interested in what everyone was doing. and they got little exercise whilst doing it. thanks for sharing. ECF
Evening Jim God How far duke has come. When you think of how he was when he first arrived !!! Interesting to see how much trust he puts in you now. One of your many qualities Jim. God bless you all and I hope Christmas rolls in , with health and happiness and most of all A bit of feet up and some down time
Hi, thanks so much. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas as well
Anytime I've ever had serious inflammation my doctor usually told me to take the anti-inflammatory at least a week and sometimes a month. But as always do as your vet says.
It's not safe to give horses Bute that long.
Duke is smart enough to know "where his oats" are buttered. The 4 horse sleigh looks really impressive coming across the field.
12v battery and an inverter converts 12v d.c. to 110v a.c. to get your circulation pump working when the power is off.
Thanks for sharing. We did get our generator hooked up after a while
Jim,maybe you should get a colt cam to watch behind you while out with the colts tied behind the sled?? Anyway, great video again!! Thanks 😊.
That would be cool
I can’t wait for the first time duke and earl are hitched to pull something, then their first log pulled out of the timber!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, that will be great!
Apple sauce works great added to the feed to get them to eat stuff
Horses: there is a lot of noise and machinery around them, but what freaks them out? a blanket!
Yes, I Like the cabin and it looks very cosy , as for your nails Abby, very cool. So good to see Ken doing better. great progress with the colts , all things considered a good outcome Were those deer tracks on the pond?
There were tracks but they weren't deer tracks.
I was excited to see you posted another video today. I think you meant Buck in the description but would love to hear about Don; was he Ken's brother? Lots of fun at your place!! Love Abby's nails.
Great nails very pretty.
Abby I was just sure that your Dad named the horses after the sixties song the Duke of Earl!
yes
At the beginning,,,,, I could take Smores of these types of videos!
Someday the colts will be on the other end! That'll be a sight to see!! And he doesn't have shoes on, may have slipped!
I thought jim had. generator to keep that circulator pump running?
I see Im not the only person cutting weeds in December lol. The colts are filling out nicely do you expect them to get much taller?
haha, gotta do what you can when you can!
Did anyone notice Duke working at his lead like he was trying to untie himself. Lol
Very possible, he's always fooling around doing something
I noticed that one of the colts was hitting that iron that is bent up from bottom of the sled sometimes when he stepped.
Me too, and I think it's why the colt walks out to the side.
@13:00 you can really see how Duke is growing.
He sure is
Why do you take the horses halters off when you turn them out? Here nails looks good 👍
They can get them caught on something, or get their shoe caught in them and it could be very hazardous
Jim how long will it be before you can start training the colts for harness work ? Great video by the way !
I believe he mention in one video, right now they are 2 y/o which he has already started ground work, tied behind the sleigh is part of it. Need to wait till their bones/knee have finished growing about 3.5 plus years old.
Well, he came home on his own, he just wanted to explore a bit - shows he is not a dumb horse!
Good job Jim, Duke cake right on home! Love the nails Abby! Maybe you should paint your dads to match Hehehe, just kidding.
Duke thought he was doing the big apple. Lol You couldn't have picked two nicer colts. They're awesome!
Just curious why you don’t tie the Colts beside the other horses to get them used to walking as a team and in front of a sleigh or equipment
Generally that is done when it's a mare and their colt
Too much chance of them fighting and getting into trouble
He may have gotten tripped up on the back of the sled on the rail. I think it was the other side but that slide is bent up and the horse was very close to getting caught up in it.
That plank is perfect to get rope caught on... maybe you should mount a ring in the post instead, so they cant get caught. With Ken's leg, did vet suggest poultice?
just wondering, why don't you put a backing on the seat that you use?
I just prefer a bench one
Hi there Jim in regards to Ken’s structural health I wonder if glucosamine sulphate or green lipped muscle might work to help him at this stage of life.I have given to my animals it’s very good for bone and joint health
Thanks for the suggestion
