Good afternoon Jim and Brenda, Hello it seems like a long time,that's probably because l missed the last video ooooops 😏 Jim lm going a long with you about William,l could see a bit of soreness when you turned him.Give him the week off ,he'll be fine.Did you notice Lady's face looking at Jim at the beginning ☺ Oh dear he's talking to himself AGAIN,that look on her face was laughable 😁 she's such a pretty mare.So a trailer has two wheels and a wagon has four....never really thought of that.Any2ay Jim you've made a fantastic job of it,looks very strong and should last a long time.Brenda yes the sound of the cattle crunching through the corn 🌽 is a wonderful sound,l could quite happily sit and listen for a while,would make a nice ring tone on my phone 😆 l did have a ring tone of a Cockerell but it because very Annoying and not just for me hahaha.Do you think ONLY if you have time and you can be bothered....l would love to have a tiny bit of the horses mane stuck down with sellotape so that l could frame it and treasure it for ever 🤗 BUT only if you have the time,l know your busy.Wishing you all the very very best and thankyou for sharing 🌱🌱🌱💕
When I was a boy, back in the early 50's we had some dairy cows that we milked by hand. I can still hear, in my mind, my Dad and older brothers calling them in from the pasture just like Brenda did, when she feed the cows some corn. Ka boss,Ka boss. Good memories!!
Under harness draft horses work with short strides at the walk and trot. Front shoes are designed to give extended support behind the heels . When frisking around at the cantor, the hind feet reach farther forward. The front hooves must get out of the way, which the front shoes are not designed to do. In summary we shoe horses for the fastest speed at which we intend them to work. Interfering and lameness are risks when they work faster.
Hey Brenda, a trailer can have any number of wheels, as can a wagon, with the primary difference between a trailer and a wagon being that a trailer has no steering mechanism up front, it just swivels on a ball or pin at the front that attaches it to the the tow vehicle, which carries some of the load, known as 'tongue weight' while a wagon steers with the front axle mechanism, and is simply pulled by the tow vehicle, thus having no 'tongue weight' I hope that explains the difference.
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim You're welcome. My father who was the wisest man that I've ever known, and I've been fortunate enough to have known several, told me years ago, that you should make it a point to learn a minimum of 1 new thing every day of your life.
Forgive me if I have said this before but your videos are like medicine to me and a blessing to many. Thanks for taking the time and energy to produce these.
Jim you have some long-lost skills. The world would be a better place if everybody used horses. Just like when the model age were made. Who thought it would be bad for the atmosphere. Like the plastic when they legalize the plastic to be made didn't any of the politicians ever think about the waste what would happen with it some of our politicians are so stupid it's pitiful everybody's going down the wrong path we've lost a lot of the old-time remedies. Somebody all-time knowledge thank you for the journey Jim I appreciate it God bless you and yours
Thanks Jim for you update that was a good clip , is Bill ok now , to get a shoe off maybe he court it on something , Brenda those cows love that corn for shore , ok waiting for th next update cheers
Truly enjoy the videos and the information you send out to all the good folks that enjoy the heavy horses and working them in the wonderful way you do the work Jim you are truly a grand horseman and teamster. I can not do the work I use to do with horses, Do to injury that now have me in a wheelchair but I still have the heart of a horsemen even if I can not be with them now. you give me so much enjoyment just seeing all the things you do with the teams. I have used Belgians all my life along with some cross breds that did there jobs well. Thank you for all you do and I love the calendar I got from you just sit and look at them a lot on as I watch videos on my laptop so thank you and your family
Glad Bill's good. It shows you really have to pay attention to your animals. A bunch of years ago we had an apple tree near the highway and one time in particular a wind storm at night blew so many apples off that tree, I couldn't run the lawnmower around it. So I brought my small pickup to the tree and filled the box with windfalls ... twice. Then I took the apples out to the pasture where the neighbour's beef cattle were grazing and before I could dump the apples the cattle came over and helped themselves. I hand-fed a few and was amazed at how long and strong their tongues were. They'd literally pick the baseball-sized apples off my hand and into their mouths with their tongues almost like an elephant's trunk! Them they'd crunch down and chew them up ... drool! That truck full of apples was eaten up in less time than it took for me to get another load. When I did, the whole bunch was waiting at the gate. I opened the gate and pushed through them and got out to the pasture to unload the apples. Those cattle were drooling as they pushed and shoved each other to get the apples. Out on the back 50 acres, there are about 24 to 30 now wild apple trees that these cattle learned to rub on and shake the apples off the branches. The deer would stand on their hind legs and get the low-hanging apples so the cattle learned to get their share. There were seldom any apples on the ground for long. I've even seen coyotes crunching down on apples if they had a chance. I'm writing this because of your comment, Brenda, about the sound of cattle eating something they really like ... corn and apples. You folks bring back good memories for me. Thanks.
Glad 4 Bill, funny too watch in the stables , all the horses they turned too Jim watching , like they More of Pets , in knowing something was Right / wrong . Onya Jim ;) .great video .
My 18yo Belgian we adopted at Thanksgiving was a kill pen rescue...he’s had rest, hand walking, adequan and just really good vet and caretaker care. He’s just been cleared to ride . Yes, they can heal. Maybe not to keep logging, but to be a wonderful companion to someone yes for sure. I DO have a question for Jim...do you ride your horses at trot on harder surfaces or would they do better trotting in a soft arena? Not sure my Max can canter not because of his healing but I don’t think it’s his thing...he never does that on his own but he will kick up his heals ... ok going to finish watching... hope Bill is ok. And wow I bet stocks would make Max’s farrier’s job easier
Nice job, looks good. We used white cedar poles as they were plentiful or whatever was available, we dug our holes with a post hole digger but I like your idea, seems faster, our marshy ground we had to go fairly deep to get a stabile post especially on the corners but you do whatever works with what you have, your process I really like, keeping that wood mizer busy for sure, nice job and you guys make a great team. Keep Liv'n and Lov'n. Hello to all.
Had that happen to a freshly shod horse, she got a strain when she caught that shoe off. Got the farrier out to reshoe both the fronts (just in case), and in a couple of days of loafing she was fit again for light duty and in two weeks, she was working just fine.
Good job on Bill. He may have felt more pressure on the frog than usual when he lost his shoe, after all those calks keep the sole quite high and when you put the shoe back on it felt normal for him, I guess.
hi to jim and brenda , I hope bill recovers OK after loosing his shoe. so nice to see the percheron,s buck and ken out and about doing farm work. god bless hi to the girls, stay safe...from the north, jim dartmouth nova scotia canada.
I thought you had to grind corn for the cows. I know better now. LOL I worked on a farm when I was young, we had a corn grinder it took cob and kernels and made a nice smelling mash. The pigs liked it also.
That's actually the first time I've heard any of you really promote horse power over tractors! Fantastic example of turning a possible negative into a positive
Another good tutorial on horse care, Bill seems to be favoring that leg. but as your said a day or two will tell the tale/truth. as for the corn trailer. why not put one of those cheap harbor freight trailer jacks on it. that way you or Brenda can lift it off with no sweat. I put one on my lawn mower trailer for abt $20. and it comes ready to use. just screw/bolt it on and away! you go!. Ok back out to finish my yard chores was just on a break when I spotted this video Thanks for another enjoyable lesson from the farm. ECF
you need to get a temperature gun.. a sore muscle or pulled muscle will not show any temp change.. if he tore a muscle or ligament there will be a temp rise in that area.. theres a big difference in the treatments.. doc johnny
Hello Jim and Brenda your right tractor dont heal on it's own but it will stay in the barn with the door open lol. A good bolt on jack would be handy Great video have a good evening.
Another excellent video really enjoyed it, your videos are always a great treat to me I worked with shires when I was a young girl. There is nothing as nice as working with well mannered horses it’s one of life’s great pleasures
Evening Jim and Brenda..I love they way when you were talking to camera Bill was eyeing up his new shoe on the shoe rack. Best wishes from Carol and Sue from the North Norfolk coast UK
I pray your leg feels better Bill saw a similar problem they used red light therapy might look into it if the problem continues have a day love from TEXAS
Any stress you might be feeling will melt away just sitting in a barn listening to cattle or horses munching their food. Best anti-anxiety medicine ever! So glad Bill is on the mend. Great video.
Jim and Brenda, I never miss one of your of videos. Have learned a few things from them. If I could give Brenda a tip a little tip, it would be to stay up wind from the spreader. Stay well and lets hope an end is in sight for the conflict in the Ukrane.
This was a great visit,,so sorry about Billy Bob,, he's doing good with your help,, and you both are super teammates,,, that's a lot of good corn ,,I like the crunchy sounds too Brenda..made me laugh...ha
Great video Jim./Brenda I had a nice comment and it went to commercial and I lost the text! , I was almost done. Dang. Add some later. Keep up the good work. I wonder if horses respond well to cold jell packs to combat swelling from tendonitis. Thanks. Your right about tractors not fixing themselves, I am working on a spun connector rod bearing now! Thank you , Take Care to All.
Thanks for being so attentive to your comments, I appreciate that also, such a great learning environment and fun too. I was commenting on, right after you did your figure 8 test with the horse, Bill I think, he had a nerve twitch like a shock body quick twitch. right when he sniffed at the horse shoe on the wall you see his body jump, like a nerve twitch and the muscle jumps throughout. These athletic horses are magnificent, I wonder if that twitch was related to the foot injury, just an observation.. That mud is so strong the suction, I am not surprised to think it could pull a shoe. In 100 years , they'll kind that shoe in the dirt, ah ha, or you will disk it up this late Spring. Boy it was something watching him do the figure 8 foot test, some good training there, that was cool. I have to watch it again. Owe..., Jim , I know you know this, but continue to be careful not to be stepped on yourself. Preaching to the choir, also thanks for the nice comments on the good Lords creation. Liv'n and Lov'n. (Ps; I have turned on some other horse lovers to your channel, so doing my part, ah ha.😄, folks that I know will really appreciate your content. Good stuff, as Dad would say, 'Keep the prime can full!'. 😊
Love your videos. I would add a word of caution about shoeing though. I owned saddle horses for over twenty years in Colorado and Wyoming. Can't afford them up here in Alaska. My sister had a "farrier" (or that's what he said he was) "quick" both front feet on one of her horses. They became infected almost over night. At first we thought the horse had foundered. It was a very expensive and painful lesson. If someone is going to shoe horses they need to make sure they know the proper technique. 🤔
Totally agree with you on horses being able to heal themselves with light exercise etc..might need to invest/borrow a metal detector seeing you have an idea where to look as shoes if in good shape are too expensive to loose/replace...thanks again for a great informative video..
Pulling a shoe is really natural for them to do. He shouldnt be lame just being barefoot. Watch his check ligament, that is often what gets pulled. On a shoeing note, we shoe saddle horses but we only use six nails and leave that one spot when a shoe gets pulled to have at least one good place for a nail. So many want all nails and big clinches, but you cant keep a shoe on if they stand on it or get it caught in a fence... all you do is rip out a big hunk of hoof wall. If we have a big over reaching horse we turn out with bell boots.
I sure hope Bill's lameness improves now that his shoe is replaced. I noticed part of the little window above Bill's stall was broken. Just wondering if that let's in too much cold air? May have always been cracked, but I just never noticed it until now. Thanks for another good video!!👋
Ouchy! I know when a human pulls a muscle, especially in their leg, it can take 6 months to heal completely. I can't imagine the time it takes for a horse to heal a muscle pull in their leg.
Lame and colic are the worse words a horse owner wants to hear! Your on top of the lamness quick that makes a difference horses are always playing messing around it gets them into trouble
Horses are solar powered(without toxic mining), self healing, self replacing transportation that know where home is. And Ford thought he had a better idea???
Hot take - the female domination of the equine industry is why it is now extremely common for people to call vets and recommend vets to others for every little tiny thing.

We do trot our horses on hard surfaces but most definitely it would be better in a soft arena. Yes, stocks are very helpful!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim thanks so much!
I am a retired farrier of 50 years you did the right thing most of the time the horse will heal itself in spite of what we do to them
13:20 looks like Jim's shoulder is working ok. Good news
Looks like Bill will be recovered in no time! Be blessed!!!
Thanks, you too!
bonjour jim et brenda many thanks for the vidéo. always a pleasure seeing y'all on the farm.

Hello to all.
Opps, this one goes with the fence post video.
Brenda- want to tell us anything about the trailer? Jim- it's heavy! Priceless! Hoping Bill gets back to normal soon! Take care and be safe?
Haha, thanks for watching
The explanation if how Bill lost a shoe makes perfect sense to me Jim. Enjoyed this upload. Have a great week to you all

Get well soon, Bill! Luckily it doesn't look that bad. Have a nice evening! :-) Chris
Hi Chris, thanks.
Awesome video. Thank you.
I really like that cart. When you have your own lumber you can build extra strong

I agree Jim . You feed them so well and they had good work outs in the Bush so they heal fast.
A whole new meaning to "Careful Step". Mud mud mud. Now it's just wait and see. Best wishes Bill. Thanks 😊.
Thanks, Stan
I thought you had to grind corn for the cows. I know better now. LOL I worked on a farm when I was young, we had a corn grinder it took cob and kernels and made a nice smelling mash. The pigs liked it also.
Yes, many times we have ground our corn, but it works well this way also

You are so right Biddy Dib Dab.
Jim and Brenda, I never miss one of your of videos. Have learned a few things from them. If I could give Brenda a tip a little tip, it would be to stay up wind from the spreader. Stay well and lets hope an end is in sight for the conflict in the Ukrane.

Haha, yes, Brenda knows from experience how far away to be from the spreader
Thank you for letting us listen to the cows smack for a bit. I love it too Brenda. Such great videos!!
Glad you like them!

My sister had a "farrier" (or that's what he said he was) "quick" both front feet on one of her horses. They became infected almost over night. At first we thought the horse had foundered.

Thanks for watching
Good video-life on the farm moves along and in such an honest beautiful way
Thanks for watching
Cow ASMR :D
Thanks for sharing
Great video 😊
Thanks! 😊 Yes that is so true
You have to know your animals & know what works for them. A Vet is never always needed.
Great video as always. Hoping Bill heals quickly.
Thanks, yes he is doing!
Totally agree with you on horses being able to heal themselves with light exercise etc..might need to invest/borrow a metal detector seeing you have an idea where to look as shoes if in good shape are too expensive to loose/replace...thanks again for a great informative video..
Hi Mick, hope you are doing well. A metal detector might come in handy!
How do you keep track of where you left off spreading manure?
Thanks for taking us along doing the choirs hope Bill gets better take care have a great day
Pulling a shoe is really natural for them to do. He shouldnt be lame just being barefoot. Watch his check ligament, that is often what gets pulled.

Not a problem this time of year, but we will have to fix it before next winter
It is interesting that the word sustainability was introduced to detract from the word stability when they mean the same thing.
I think he took the shoe of to get the day of work Jim.love your videos .
Ah ha ha.😄
haha, maybe so!
Is that a new harness on Ken?
I'm sure you are correct,the horse will work out any minor problem.
Shoein' horses is hard work!!
Yes it is
Ouchy! I know when a human pulls a muscle, especially in their leg, it can take 6 months to heal completely. I can't imagine the time it takes for a horse to heal a muscle pull in their leg.
I've never seen anybody feed whole corn cob and all with out grinding it , to cattle. new one for me
Yes, we have ground it up lots of times in the past too but they certainly eat it whole as well
Lame and colic are the worse words a horse owner wants to hear! Your on top of the lamness quick that makes a difference horses are always playing messing around it gets them into trouble
Yes, you're right!
Looked good to me
How old is your farmhouse? It looks like maybe 1880 ish. Hope Bill is okay.
We aren't sure but it is quite old.
