I am so glad that you showed Bill’s behaviour. It is real life and helps people see the reality of working with animals.
Agreed ❤️
Some people think it is all sunshine and roses and don't understand that sometimes it rains and roses have thorns.
Love your videos and information! The grass you are asking about from what I could see in video is Timothy in bloom not seed. From what you said about when you harvest timing would be about right from bloom to seed.
Hi guys, I'm a 75 yr old retired pipefitter, welder. I live in an assisted living facility in Helena, Mt. I've been watching your vids for awhile. The big horses attracted me. Ever since I saw the Clydes when I was a kid Ive been intrigued. I have a few faves here and you guys are amongst em. Keep up the good work. Rich Buller
I enjoyed seeing Bill kick up his heels, hard to believe he had so much energy after working hard.
I enjoyed it too. I ran that part back and watched it two more times. He was definitely a horse on a mission. 😅
You guys look like a couple of teenagers out for a joy ride. So stinking cute. you guys rock. Well done to Kenny for taking you both for a ride. Have a great rest of your day see you in the next one. God bless you both.
Don't you just love to see them smiling and joking togeather, makes me so happy.Have a fabulous day 😊
@@joycehennequin8469 I know they are never going to that old married couple i love it its so nice to see. You have a fabulous day also.
Brenda, I love that you see another life lesson in a simple unexpected happening on the farm when Bill decided to make a wrong choice, and it was a rare moment to see him disobey Jim's voice. 💚🐎
He was just being a horse 😊 that's what happens..have a wonderful day, uk England
I bet dollars to donuts that you won't see Lady foal unless your watching in the wee hours of the morning :)
OOH . That ride with Ken
was soo ROMANTIC!!🥰
Baron sure is a great looking horse! That was a work out for Jim. Good to see you both riding Ken. ❤ How lovely to hear the birds.
👍👍😁
I think Bill had the last laugh today!
Impressed by the lack of swearing at Bill’s shenanigans!
Kenny is a doll and he deserved that kiss. ❤
What a good boy Kenny is !
Baron's color in the sunshine is glorious!
Kenny is so chill
That ride looked like fun...glad Ken didn't pull a wild Bill type ride for you! I smiled a lot with this video!
The ENDING was PERFECT!!!!! Nice to see both of you enjoy a horse back ride together!! Kenny, your smile at the end was AWESOME!! ...God Bless..
Mum wanted to say she thinks lady will have her foal on the 27th of May, barring that the 4th of June, and she's waiting with anticipation. She watches every day with her four chihuahuas and she wanted to say she loves what you guys do and what you share.
I agree with your mum.
Another gorgeous video - terrific weather for a ride too, Brenda was so sweet to thank Kenny at the end of the ride, and give him a kiss as she did. Your videos are always interesting and a joy to watch. Sending well wishes for the pending delivery - good thoughts for Lady and all of you. Thank you for the generosity of sharing so much with your viewers- well done!
That was too much fun for one day................! 🤠
Life will always give you the unexpected
Agree 100% with what you said about small and old grass. The small grass has lots of sugar in it, which is not good for all horses too much, especially ponies. The sort of grass that you were asking for is probably 'meadow foxtail' (I had to look it up on as I only know the German word for it). It's quite common in pastures in my area and told to be a good sort of grass in hay for horses. Also love your community here, imo definitely one of the best I have seen on youtube!! Mistakes, well, I could tell a lot. That happens and it's a good lesson how to stay cool in such situations. The calmer you stay the easier you get it resolved. 😊 but I think, Bill only wanted to keep you in shape 😁Great, great video, put a smile on my face several times! -Chris
My stupid thing was having my 1800 lb Shire mare follow me out of the escape door of my trailer. I forgot to put up the chest bar (I had a walk through area in front of the horses with a chest bar) .. and she just followed me right out the person size door. She popped out of there like a cork. Not a scratch nor bend on the metal but boy it could have been bad if she got stuck. Needless to say I always put the chest bar up after that!
I felt like I was having a ride on Kenny….. thanks for that.
I'm jealous over you two enjoying a ride with Ken.
I love this channel so much Brenda and Jim! Now if I could only convince you to let me come live with you. Just think about it.
@suzannemomma - and all the rest of us !! Ha, Ha !!
Now that's a thought, a little cabin for visiting subscribers to come help clean the stalls, tack, feed and brush. I'd pay to tag along! - maybe a piece of Brenda's pie ?!!!
@@juliedalgardno3361 I hope Brenda reads this! That would be an amazing prize for guessing Baron’s weight!
@@johnking8679 I’ll go over and clean out stalls all day long!
Me too!
sweet to see again
My parents had just bought a new horse and had me riding home instead of renting a trailer. It was only a 10 mile ride I'm about 3-4 hours. My mother followed me for a little while on the main road until we got to the rulral roads. He was no trouble at all and it was not afraid of any traffic. When we got home my sister helped me to unsatilim And then before we knew it he was headed down the road. I thought, "Oh no he's going back to his old home. But no instead he walked right through the old barnyard gate and headed for the water trough. I sure learned a lesson that day. My dad was quite annoyed but he went right out and cut down some trees and replaced all the gates.
Very romantic, God made woman for the man. You are amazing couple. You bring so much joy and happiness to me. I lived in the city but my whole life I have dreamed of the life that you live now I am old but what you share brings me so much comfort. Thank you so very much!
Loved it - thank you!!
Enjoy your show ! I’m from western Canada.where I grew up on the farm with horses ! I’m retired & I am 77.
A carrot and carrot cake would be a nice thanks for the two boys that made your garden beautiful❤❤❤
Ken is literally my favorite horse and I feel like he doesn’t get enough credit/carrots lol he’s the grandpa of the group and knows what is expected of him and Does not complain
Bill...I saw him get the look my dog gets when he sees a chance for freedom. I knew he was running! lol. At least he was easier to corral than my dog is.
Whoa,whoa,whoa, Ken doesn’t “run” anywhere! 😜👍✌️
Stupid things I’ve done: Loaded one horse in the trailer, left a new horse that was hard to catch in the pasture, trailered to the vet about 5 miles away. Almost two hours later, while I’m waiting at the vet to pay, husband called and said the new horse is out, running around and can’t be caught. I’d forgotten to close the gate going into the pasture after I’d loaded the horse in the trailer. The horse & I both lived through it.
Love Kenny! ❤
When Jim slid off Ken's butt 🤣
A real fun one to watch, great to see you both working so well together.
I wish I could go on a romantic horse back fence mending getaway. 😂❤
So interesting to see the garden work with horse, etc. Makes me think of stories from my great grandfather. Thank you!
The Picture This App is really good for identifying plants.
The ground looks wonderful so rich. Mr Bill just wished to express himself. Very wise to be cautious with shoes as high jinks can be high jinks.
That Bill is a rascal 🤣You do realize Bill was laughing at Jim leading him on a chase? LOL
We enjoyed the ride on ken what a great horse thank you for all your hard work
That stinker Bill to take off to go with Baron....I loved Ken when he put his face in the video at the end as it put a smile on my face. He said to I want a piece of this action. Smile every one. 🐴 God bless you Jim and Brenda ❤️❤️🙏🐎
I had a quarter horse that foundered during the spring in the early 1970's. Fortunately we caught it right away but it took a lot to bring him through it. Laminitis is scary.
Ya'll are just beautiful.
Sweet Ken!
LOL!!! You two look like a couple of kids on Ken!!!
When I drag a horse arena, I make a single horizontal pass before dragging lengthwise and then it is easy to see where I have already dragged based on the visibility of the horizontal line.
I like to see when things go wrong on your videos... makes us horse owners feel human...you are right having horses things go wrong. I also like to hear about hierarchy.
Wonderful fun to see you two riding horseback together .. yes. Brenda, use it or lose it!!! I am pushin' 79 now and trying to get stronger so I can continue independently after too sedentary for too long. Amazing how you manage to climb up without boost or step stool. 👍and God Bless !
Baron looks very good!
Oh, where have you been,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been,
Charming Billy?
Jim didn’t close the gate
So I went to join my mate.
Oh, where have you been,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been,
Charming Billy?
I had lots and lots of fun
Making Jim and Brenda run

Now, that was nice..
When I was 12 my family rented a small horse farm. Let me tell you, this place was something else, the main house was a machine shop/ servers center that at some point had been converted into a two bedroom house, well thats fine and dandy for a family just starting out, the small bedroom was once a very small office and the big room was a small fabrication shop, the kitchen was probably customer service and family room was the service bay still had the sliding doors just nailed shut to make a wall. When the family got bigger they just got an old airstream and made a hallway to the main house, that's where my brother and I lived being older he was given the main room of the camper and I was given the torn out bathroom and the built-in dinette the place was awful but it had one redeeming quality it sat on 25 acres with several barns. So I worked my butt off to save enough money to buy my first horse, my parents were all about self-reliance and were willing to let me as long as I understood that they could pay for nothing we simply couldn't afford it. Having agreed to pay for everything myself we started looking and one Sunday after church my folks were having coffee with some people in the dining hall and they brought up I was looking for my first horse and one of the ladies said she would sell one of her younger ones that she was not planning on using in the show ring. So we followed her home and met all her horses and they were very nice, but this one was saying away from the crowd and kept coming from behind me grabbing my hand gently and trying to pull me away from everyone so I followed him up the hill to a nice flat spot and he got down on his front legs and I climb up on his back and we must have road around that field a dozen times before anyone noticed us. The lady said that horse don't like no one and dad said whelp I guess he likes my son and I ended up buying a horse that no one else could ride. I rode him home that day with nothing but a halter and a lead rope. Now the people who had been renting the place before us still had five of their horses on the property and one was of the nastiest little Shetland ponys you will ever find. When I got home with Omar and the family had a chance to meet him, I wanted to walk him around the fence line and introduce him to his new home, now the other horses were locked in the far back field but the little Shetland busted through the barbed wire ran straight at us and just started kicking for all his worth, I had a hold of Omar's lead rope and was trying to drag him away when they bought spun around and kicked at the same time and I was in the middle, both sets of hind hooves one set in the back one in the chest and I dropped like a rock, laid there unconscious. My dad jumped the fence and just as he landed Omar grabbed the pony by the neck and dragged him away from me and held him until I was carried out of the field by my dad. Ended up with 4 broken ribs and a lacerated liver. Omar hurt that little Shetland ponys so bad he was never the same he was nice to everyone never started any kind of trouble even after leaving the farm and going to a new place.
Love Brenda, how you talk to the horses and animals! That Baron is a Beautiful horse! Enjoyed this video very much! We have a few stories about our horses.
How Fun!!!
A 6 tine manure fork works good for picking rock and saves on the back
I didn't get the chance to comment on the video where you asked what we did for a living. I am disabled due to a back injury along with autoimmune disorders. However, I was an Animal Control Officer for 13 years here in Georgia.
I find the content of your videos to be great! Very entertaining!
Composted chicken manure seems to work great for most plants!
I'm guessing Brenda was about the sweetest nurse a patient could ask for.
Aw! I love watching you ride together!! You are a great couple!! 💕
I very definitely agree that grain is a catch twenty-two. I usually harrow diagonally every other time. It also helps planting easier to see the marker.
I have a lot of riding instruction, snd trail gurde work for years, but my favorite breed are the heavy arched necked Draft horses. Finally i got to own a retired Draft. He just lived a long retirement. Never worked him. Dont even own the leather harnesses. I want to find out how to work w them kindly and thats why i watch. Im paralyzed from MS. Thanks for teaching me their names and personalities, and how Drafts are used, kindly. You know way more than i do. Glad your strawberries made it thru the froster night. Never even knew people rode Drafts. How fun.!.
When i was harrowing our long field, I would intentionally weave back and forth one time
This made it so i could see where i had covered and where I had been.
Jim & Brenda on a Horse Ride Date! Very enjoyable video, looks like you two still have fun together. Keep the videos coming, we watch them all. Note: You might think of investing in a Rock/Stone Horse drawn garden rake to save your backs!
A story about rocks;
A person went to look at some land that was for sale and commented about how many rocks there were all over the field, the seller told the guy to pickup a rock and see all the moisture under it.
The buyer asked, How come your neighbor has all his rocks in piles?
If you go look his soil will be very dry and dusty.
The seller told him, He’s really lazy and hasn’t taken the time to spread them out yet.
xoxo you guys are part of my daily activities. Like to watch you all, at night. You asked what my occupation is. I am retired and spend most of my time inside, on the Internet. I would like to see more of what Brenda is doing in the kitchen. Please take Baron's shoes off and let Bill kick his upstart butt...lol. Thanks for everything you share. Can't wait to buy 2024 calendar in a few months. Chrism
One can never predict how a horse will behave. Even an older horse can act the wild hare on you. You are right to be cautious always. Easier to have an ounce of caution than spend time repairing harm or breaking a bad habit.
Would love to see you do more horse back riding!! The horses are all beautiful!! lots of love from Iowa
Wonderful video 😊
Pulling a stone boat across our fields in Central New Hampshire was a chire i did often while training up young oxen.
The Granite State was named that for good reason.
Billy looked like a missbehaved child when Jim went to get him I think he knew what he did was wrong that is real life Iam sure wonderfull video seeing you guys enjoyingyour ride on the farm beautifull moment KATHY DECOSTE ONT Canada
This is great content seeing Billy being rebellious!!! Thanks for explaining why you haven’t left them together because of their shoes ❤️
watch you pic up the roads reminded me of when I was a you boy helping my grandpa pic rocks in the garden that ended up that we sieved the whole garden to get all of the rocks out . the garden about your size
I bought a pair of retired pulled horses and decided our first time out to put them on the stone boat and they ran away with me laying on the boat holding on for dear life lol
1 of My young mares decided to walk away as I was taking her collar off before I could retire her and she walked just far enough ahead of me I could get her until she got to the road and where she decided to run towards town!
Never a dull moment lol, I love to see that it happens to the best of us.
You guys are wonderful with your horses
It's called foxtail. Looks like the twin of Timothy.
No, they are very different.
Have you looked into feeding a high fat diet to Bill. It’s kinda like “cold calories” vs hot like you would from grain. I’ve been feeding high fat pellets plus adding a bit of cooking oil to them and it really keeps the horses in good shape without getting them jacked up. Just a thought.
I don't think it was stupid...I think it was 'one of those things.' Do what cha gotta do . I lov ya'll and everything that goes on.lov from south alabama .
When working with animals one just never really knows what is going to happen. Jim knows his animals and has worked with them that he knows unexpected things happen.
You can pick up stones, then harrow, then pick up more stones that come up. Repeat as many times as you want.
.....never ending stone 🪨 pick-up I'm sure !!
And so it goes on !! So many stones !!
Bah, Humbug !!😅
Too true!!
Bill's a bad boy. but he's not afraid of Baron now, he ran right over there.
The grass looks like meadow foxtail.
An adventurous day on the farm! So much variety and riding together on Ken, checking the fence was the added attraction.
I have been learning about sugar content of grass and I thought like you. However, not true. Many things factor in such as drought, unseasonably hot, and freezing temperatures. Sugar content goes up. Tall mature grass can have just as much sugar as short new growth. Depending on time of day and weather. Grass typically lowest in early morning and high in afternoon. Sugars feed grass into growth at night. I was certainly surprised. Love all your critters! Keep up the good work!
👍🏻
"Bill, are you going to behave?"
"Who me? hahahaha"
Me: 🤣
Just seeing this video now... lol I did such a similar thing one time Jim! I was in a routine turning horses out and all but one horse would go straight to the hay so you could just slip the halter off as they walked in without closing the gate. I wasn't thinking and pulled the halter off of the one horse you couldn't do that with, with an open gate. And in front of my boss. 🤦♀️Nothing bad happened, but man did I kick myself for the day. lol I never did stuff like that. But it happens to the best of us! :)
Thanks BRENDA and Jim with BILL working your GARDEN for food this Summer. Sounded like geese flying by. Weeding ready to plant seeds. See what KEN will do
great video of seeing how there are so many activities going on the farm. It didn't take Bill long to take off when he saw Baron. Glad nothing happened.
Sometimes in a farmers life,,,, you can have a "harrowing" experience! 🤣
Then Bill and Baron get together! Yep they're really "horsen" around.
Great video guys 👍🏻
Love this video! Glad I came across your channel. Great team work!!!
Awe this was a great one!!❤❤..Bill and his antics..I laughed so hard because when I had horses they loved to remind me no fence could hold them..they were just humoring me when they stayed in..the Arabs would raise their heads and go thru the wire like it wasn't even there..ponies just went under it because the fences were up so far for the tall horses😂..I love Ken..he's so mellow but underneath that cool exterior is a warrior..
I hope you 2 do more riding on future videos..this was so relaxing..I now know it's time for me to go on and get another horse..you 2 just showed me I can't mourn over a lost one forever..just remember - no hanky panky when the 2 of you are on one horse (even though that's fun too)..as always prayers and blessings
I think it's probably just an early variety of Timothy. Some early varieties were developed so they would persist in mixed alfalfa fields and pastures. Under agreesive modern harvest schedules the old Timothy varieties wouldn't survive. The older varieties were bred to head later so they would still be nice hay in late June. I have ruined the Timothy in mixed stands by cutting it before it headed.
You guys cheered me up, big time.Thx - spring greetings from Switzerland.
urs, is that short for Ursula? my aunt's name..urs, I felt the same way today,,all our kids are grown and gone for the whole WK end doing their own vacation trips and we in our 80's felt a bit lonely,,so we got on a morning project outside and then settled in after a shower and lunch with our favorites " Brenda and Mr Jim,,working with horses,,it really blessed our hearts to see good Christian love, a great couple working and enjoying life together...🎶💐❤️
@@sueupham2519 No, here in Switzerland and Southern Germany Urs is a male name. Ursula for girls, Urs for boys. It is latin ans means BEAR.
Funny thing is, i live in the italian part of Switzerland, and down here, my name is not very common. Altough italian is more related to latin than german.
We use a cup of corn oil instead of oats etc added to plenty of alfalfa to put weight on a hard working horse . doesn't make them fizzy
"are you warm now?" "im warm now" was a pretty sweet moment :D
