I don't farm with horses or with large tractors. All in all the video is great, and its good to see that some are still using the same way our ancestors used to farm and keeping the tradition alive. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, come to Poland, here are still a lots of them, I sold my one month ago because I have only one horse, 26 years old, but for this mashine you need two. I loved this work most; my old neighbour last year was mowing 50ha with his horses :-)
It's not just about where you're from. I am in my first year of college and would really like to be farming with horses, too. Maybe someday is all I can say.....Until then, we'll both be dreaming of it to get through school. :)
Maybe it's because I'm a New England boy living in the desert for grad school, but I'd about give my left arm to be doing that right now. GREAT choice of music too! (an old favorite)
Every year here in France we see more farms returning to horses. Modern intensive farms are energy intensive too. Organic is the way of the past and the future, the brief flirtation with AgroChemical has nearly lost us the planet as well as caused untold suffering to both man and animal.

I think what ever Andy wants to do for HIS farm is wonderful. The horses love to work and they live longer lives having a purpose. The same is true for men and women. Don't you think? Love organic! womenredesignyourlives
@jakebarnes28 it's depending on the work you have to do, on the costs of food, the vet, fuel, costs of hiring people for work, amount of unemployed people and sice of farm: Read: Ch. Kendell - Economics of Horse Farming. Rural Heritage 3, 2005 My main argument for horses is, that a tractor is not reproductiv and a horse is eating this, what is growing on your field, no technology necessary to produce "biofuel", the maximum of independance.
Beautiful to see this kind of tradition still alive and well in 'busy' California. Thanks for posting! :~)

Awesome! We had one of those hay cutters when
we bought our farm but let go to waste outside.
Wish we had kept it!

to hire custom mowing with a tractor is $100 an hour
