In order to log with horses for our wood-fired maple syrup, we get our horses from an Amish Auction in Mount Hope, Ohio. Buying from an Amish Auction could be intimidating, so in this video we give you a glimpse into the process while talking about some of our successes as well as the lessons we've learned.

This video was great and filled with valuable unbiased info. The horses looked good, well-fed and healthy. Thanks for the tips on choosing the right horse, not just to go by looks. I'll be looking for more vids!
Thank ya kindly
Right I'm not sure why it was recommended either lol but I'm happy about it good way to start my Sunday morning lol
Check their pasturns, an even smooth, walk, trot and canter.
@@paulriversred738 better yet, get a second, third opinion.
Im honestly not sure how or why this was recommended to me, but im so happy it was. I follow the channel "think like a horse" and i really love horses. Never had any, i dont think im qualified enough to give one a good life, but I love informative videos as well as seeing such beautiful wonderful animals. The amish are awesome btw.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!
Think Like a Horse, is that Rick Gore??? I love him!!! He tells it like it is and doesn't hold back!!
@@HiddenFarmApalachin YES!!! 😍😍😍😍 hes freakin epic! Lol i have followed him for years! I have learned so much "useless" info about horses and the police (if you know Rick's work, you know... the Good luck ---formerly known as "think like a cop" ) channel too. I love his videos and I enjoy feeling educated by something other than books. Hes great! So glad to see others who follow him. 🙂
@@HiddenFarmApalachin hes live right now on good luck America 🙂
@@simpinainteasyRHEC I love his live streams. I can't always catch it live so I'll go back and watch it later.
"a little bit spookyyyy, a little bit daaaangerous" lmao i love the way horse people describe horses
As long as you dont spook too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey Liz, when my Best Girl says, our boys are cute, I get a good laugh. 1000 lb animal, that could kill you, but never would on purpose, may be magnificent, or beautiful, but cute? Awe!
Spooky, it just means it gets startled easy so if your standing with it & loud noise causes the horse to jump or jerk that's thousands of pounds
I didn't finish typing if you look further I was saying you don't want 1000 or more pounds slamming into you because it hasn't been broke (trained) fully :)
Love the way they blame the horse for probable abuse, and I stay right away from anyone saying 'break the horse in'. They sure get broken.
I know the Amish use Morgans a lot. If you really want the worlds BEST riding breed, I cant say enough about them. Each one Ive met has has the exact same outgoing and honest character, and never a single illness.
They also breed and train and show DHH and ASB as well. The only thing is the Amish like a darker colored horse over the lightly colored horses.
Fun fact: the breed is known for PSSM and EMS which are both generic diseases in heavy and light breeds.. just fyi and to make sure people know to be aware of these debilitating conditions and how a horse that has them should not be bred.
One of my riding instructors had a black Morgan mare. So beautiful!!! I watched her show once, and she was fantastic. My girl was a half-Arab. She was pretty special, too.🐎💞
I trained on a Morgan. His name was shaft. He was fat and lazy. XD
The one Morgan I know has foundered and needs a lot of special care. 0 grass whatsoever and a careful feeding program is needed for him.
He is smart as can be and if he doesn’t want to do something there’s nothing that you can do to make him. The best thing for him ( and what he’s doing now) is something he loves, and that’s being a therapy horse! He walks around the ring with special needs kids, and gets plenty of love and grooming.
Man, the Amish has relaxed their inhibitions. The TN Amish I know would never allow cameras or women riding a horse. Nice video.
Theyre reasonable folks. The young girl horse trainers i asked to record a video... I asked if they knew how to use it, they said, " oh sure, we leave ours at home". Andy said it was fine if i did some filming, he actually enjoyed watching videos of Hilde (he had his whole family gather around to watch) when i met up with him a year later. They are really good people with a pretty good outlook on life much of the time
There are different religions inside the Amish community itself.
You have the modern Amish, and the old Amish, and then different branches out from those two...
No matter the religion, the community, or whatever, there's always someone who chooses to be bad..
It's the reason humans does not evolve.
Even Buddhism isn't good, as they don't believe in killing, which is why you see so many dogs/cats in crucial condition, not being given the kindness of eternal sleep.
Some, maybe not all, Amish (even traditional old Amish) allow their children to decide what direction they want to go in. The teenagers can use technology if they want. There are different “branches” of Amish all having different guidelines. I have Amish friends with teens and the teens are spoiled…I think in a way the parents want to make sure the teens have all they need to make there decision freely. …but the result for them were teens w tudes….
No light colored horses owned by amish around here.
@@ursulabaker7591 to be fair, I think most teens have an attitude regardless of Amish or not 😅
I think the white Percheron was an example of an old draft house that was never put “in rein” he was used as a part of a 4 or double 4 horse team. Common practice is put reins on the 2 horses in the center and the horses on the outside are just pulling and are not actually reined up. Putting this horse by himself made him feel vulnerable and uncertain
A very likely hypothesis. He was owned by an elderly couple (NOT amish), and sold via a dealer when the man passed away. He had most certainly been neglected for years and noone knew his real working history prior. It was a bold play by paul, and it didnt work out for him this time around.
I loved that Perceron, i am so used to horses coming directly out of pasture, but im older now.
@@ruggedridgeforest7775
Just curious, but did that same horse have a snotty nose? In the pic, it looked like it. Genuinely curious.
@@ElysetheEevee i dont believe so. That was not a symptom us or anyone or any of the vets that saw him before he ultimately sold noticed
People think the Amish abuse their horses because by and large the culture still follows the old "breaking" philosophies which can be very abusive.
The horses at auction look great because you can't make money on a broken horse.
Really glad your friend sets a better example. Hopefully the culture is changing.
I mean these horses look pretty good? I don't doubt that some Amish people may mistreat their horses but that's like everything. There's bad people everywhere, it's not because they're Amish that they somehow automatically mistreat their horses.
Of course! Problem is, I've heard they're good at misreading the animal. It's a depends matter
The Amish, being very religious, live by Man being dominant over all other living things so some are very domineering!
Everyone choosing first horse or pony should take note of this guys experience,,,99%of folks failing with their horse is getting the wrong one in the first place ,,,such a shame ,and gives horses an undeserved bad rep,,
I've lived worked and loved horse for 63 years,I wish you all the best with your channel and your farm.you give me the feeling that the future is actually in good hands ,,so thankyou ❤😄
Thank ya kindly : )
Years ago my stepfather bought two horses! My most favorite gifts ever! He knew nothing about horses but had someone to advise him. Both beautiful horses. Our buckskin was the best all round horse! The biggest love. He could do anything. The other was too much for me to handle(...which that beauty knew) I was a fairly new rider at that time. A year or so later I would have loved him! But my father really had no idea what we were getting in with Jigsaw. Always getting into trouble. Yikes.
Personality experience health hooves. All needs checking out. I loved my horses so much♥️🐎 The best experiences of my life.
I love horses, but the real reason I watched this is that my son and his wife lived in Worcester, VT for two years! Beautiful country there. They recently moved back to the Big City (chuckle) of Barre.
I probably know em : )
Got dumped off of my pony mule last week… lovely horse you got though. Really smart to figure out that temperament/build/movement/manners are more important than some arbitrary list of “must haves” so many of us fall in with the wrong horse (or mule lol) due to wanting an idea of an animal rather than seeing what animal might actually be the best fit for us. Knew an old Morgan breeder that said “pretty is as pretty does” I’ll take a plain brown horse with a big heart and good manners any day… okay, now off to go visit Mule Pancake… great vid!!
Those pony mules will teach us a thing or two. I sold him on, and the woman was tickled to have him. I texted a month later to see how hes doing... , "hes teaching us alot of patience". I taught them to roundpen him before i sold him... That was part of our introduction so hed behave when they test rode him. Mules are something else. Horses want to show you what they know, mules want to see what you know. Glad i learned... But im back to horses!
Goodluck with him! : )
@@ruggedridgeforest7775 they really do teach us a thing or two!! 😂 patience is definitely the name of the game! Thanks again for sharing this vid, I will admit I have only seen the horror stories about Amish mistreatment of animals and women/girls, so this was enlightening. I see a lot of well cared for horses, and loved seeing those girls training too!
"Pretty is as pretty does." No truer words have ever been spoken. My first heart horse people thought was ugly. He was an appaloosa with a long beautiful red tail. His personality was laid back with a heart of gold. He lived to be 31 and I took real good care of him. He was the most beautiful horse in the world, in my eyes. Boy, I miss him. The sweetheart I have now is also a good boy who owns a big chunk of my heart. He's pictured here in my avatar. I got him when he was 6 (he's 12 now) which is rather young, and people with their ever present (unwelcome) opinions were against me getting a young horse. He has never tried to hurt me and he loves people. I love trail riding him alone. That's my idea of happiness, lol.
@@ellieelizabeth5627 Sounds lovely! I have known some wonderful appys. Also sounds like your current horse has a big heart too. Trail riding a good horse alone is one of the most special things in the world I think.
Good video highlighting how the Ohio Amish care for their animals. Since I am a Fritz, it warmed my heart to see a fellow Fritz from Ohio.
Glad you enjoyed : )
this guy is full of BS, read the TRUTH on my post.
Great video. Everyone should remember that there is no perfect horse out here or ever been. From world champions to just pasture pets. I am an amazed that you are not using a Lippitt Morgan for doing the farm work and logging. Especially since Morgans are your state animal and they are all known for doing logging and all sorts of farm work and still have enough energy to be fancy enough to go to town or still have enough energy to do trotting races?
No horse is perfect ; ) these two suffice
I can't helped, but Finnishorse sounds just like the one that full fills those live up. it is the fastest cold blood in the world and strongest against the size. Very humble horse also.
interesting : )
I love Finnhorses! They're such athletic and well-tempered animals. However, we don't have them here in the states. You'd have to spend a lot of money to get one imported from Finland.
Hilde is beautiful!!! I am super excited to see you drive/log with her in an open bridle (no blinders). I trained my horse to drive using the same bridle as I rode him in, and he took to it so well. He was young when I started him in harness at 4 years old, and I think that maybe he was comforted by being able to look back easily and see me there instead of only able to hear. I’m so proud of him!! He learned to drive in just a couple of days. I’m just happy to see you’re also using an open bridle! It’s not all that common. Best of luck to you and Hilde, she’s really gorgeous and looks very smart and pleased to work with you.
Thanks! I like the open bridle because its also less stuff around her face and less likely to direct stray sticks right into her eyes
A Facebook friend posted saying she'd seen some Amish man pay up to $500,000 for a horse one Amish man needed. They certainly will *not* allow such an animal to be neglected or hurt if it costs them that much! It just wouldn't make any sense to waste that money.
Pain compliance does not equal waste of an animal. Pain compliance is often the fastest and surest way of achieving uniform obedience and when applied correctly very rarely results in injury. That's why it's popular. It's still abusive.
@@co8008
Exactly. I think most people think of the severely neglectful type of abuse and not the kind that's just enough to be antagonistic and wrong, but not enough to produce permanent damage physically.
Essentially, methodical damage versus apathetic and dismissive damage, I'd say.
Great video! Welcome to the horse world. I've always enjoyed the standy and standy crosses I have ridden. They have been level headed and kind.
They are good minded, athletic horses!
Thank you for sharing your experience at the Amish horse auction with us, it looks like an awesome event! This was a great way to learn a bit about the culture of the Amish people! Greetings from Germany ✌
thank ya kindly
nice video with valuable information! I challenge you to post more videos and grow this channel! you are a good teacher, you explain calmly and you managed to capture my attention! I wish you all the best!
Thank you kindly! More content to come! Thanks for the good vibe
Wonderful video. Thanks so much for that. And so glad it worked out well for you.
I love this video your commentary is wonderful and you speak with a really good cadence. You're not quite monotone but near it which makes you really easy to listen to and you're geniuenly excited about the horses which makes it a cool experience to basically see through your lens into this world of horses.
"Thank ya kindly," in a nearly monotone voice
@@ruggedridgeforest7775 lol!
I've never heard anyone say they abuse their animals, then again I'm not too familiar with the Amish as many others might be.
There are abusive methods being used if we count bits and whatnot, but I for one have only ever disliked them trotting or galloping their horses on concrete roads. That's relly the only negative thing I've seen them do (which, for anyone that doesn't know, can ruin a horse's joints and cripple them for life even after just a short time).
But yeah, as someone pointed out there are a few negative things to note here and there. But maybe that really just comes down to ignorance rather than malice. The horseworld is full of that, but nothing we should point fingers at a whole group for. Bad apples anywhere and all that.
This video is really educational tho, it was fun to watch. Thanks for uploading this~ :)
Not all Amish abuse their animals. Some even breed and train and show Morgans and DHH and Saddlebreds for us in the English Community as well.
Thanka for the compliment, and i agree, there are bad apples in every bunch, and the line between work and long term health is always a balance to be struck. Many amish are amazing horse folks. And some are ignorant to whats best
@Legend of the Blue Macerator Indeed. Burning people at the stakes for even just a small innocent mistake is, sadly, a very popular thing to do nowadays.
Wish people would stay calm and talk with others to teach them to be better instead of wishing death upon them, their family and pets. That doesn't help anyone after all...
I hope to encounter something like this video someday. All of the Amish broken horses I've worked with had the life taken out of them; they didn't give feedback about anything like their opinion was never heard or regarded. Heartbreaking.
I love horse auctions. It was great to see you and hear your commentary.
Very nice video. My Grandparents lived in Wolcott and I spent a lot of time there. My Grandfather logged with horses for Bullard Lumber. Just biked thru Worchester two weeks ago. Can't wait to catch up on some of your videos
Stop by next time youre in town!
I hope you make more videos. I would love to see more of what and how you're doing things. Thank you!
thank you kindly : )
Loved this story - Amish horse fairs are totally outside my experience. Loved the insights, the narrator and the footage - very enjoyable- Thanks
Thank ya kindly : )
So helpful! Thinking of heading there in a few weeks to check out the Fall sale for a ride/drive DraftX or Haflinger to replace our wonderful Haflinger than passed. This would be our first time at an auction, and we're from New England as well... .Thanks so much for the preview!
You will be glad you went. Its an impressive sight : )
Really informative great share. Please keep this going. Thanks for letting us see a place like this. I would enjoy going there to watch this.
Thank ya kindly
many years ago my grandfather worked wood lots with another guy and a horse . it was strong and worked with the 2 men as part of the team . one guy would cut down the tree and hook it to the horse , the horse would on it's own would pull the tree to the lot about 1/2 a mile out where the other guy would unhook it . set the cords and ropes on the horse which then trotted back into the woods . watching this reminded me that . nice animals
Thats a good horse!
I don’t normally comment but this was very real and educational. Thank you for opening up my perspective
Glad you enjoyed : )
My Hope is a big sale ! Have been there many times from Ky hauling horses there and from there! Enjoyed this!
This video was recommended to me and I am happy that it was because of the information you gave out, thank you for sharing.
Glad i could help : )
I grew up surrounded by Amish neighbors and routinely went to the every other Friday horse auction in Shipshewana, Indiana. As a boy I remember taking a pony that I was interested in out for a ride. Takes me back!
It does feel timeless
What a great video! Lot's of good insight. Thanks for sharing this! ....AND MAPLE SYRUP TOO!!!! :D
try some for yourself from ruggedridgeforest.com !! : )
Wonderful video and good advice. Thank you!
Love this video! great perspectives and footage!
Thank ya kindly!
Beautiful mare you got! Congratulations!
Thank ya kindlu
I got my horse teddy bear from a friend of my mom's,they bought him from Pennsylvania, he was a cart horse but would untie himself and leave the schools.so a Amish bachelor bought him and rode him everywhere, so he was VERY broke, and now I have him and I love him :)
awesome!
You ended up picking a beautiful black mare that moves beautifully and is eager to please. You definitely scored when purchasing her. So many beautiful horses. I care more about their temperament and health and knowing if there are any past traumas. (Not an all inclusive list though.) Important information to consider when choosing a horse that you want or need for the purposes they are intended for. Great job picking this mare.
Thank ya kindly!
Vermont is gorgeous! Never been there. Congrats on your wise horse selection process. Amish animals seem to really communicate with you more than “English” animals. The telepathic communication with them for whatever reason is crystal clear. Your pony mule must have known you were new and if he is all boy…well the donkey side could come out…and they like to play and rough house but also like order and will protect their family to the death. Donkeys are bad asses, but sweet as sugar too. Their coats are so tough…but when you touch their skin it is soft as velvet. I can never be without one! They r too much fun!
The mule was from Kentucky, not an amish animal, just listed to be sold at their auction
Great video, I'm your 406 Fan LOL Thanks for sharing, I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Have a Blessed Week **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and the critters at Piney Haven Homestead.
thank ya kindly : )
Wow !, it’s so nice to see you found such a great horse for you !
thank ya kindly
Interesting, well filmed with good sound. Excellent!
Changed mics halfway through, but im trying my best! Thanks for the support!
The horses look strong and beautifull theyre taken care of very wel.♥️
Thank you, I really enjoyed your video. Very informational
That was a great job, thank you !
I know nothing about horses, and I'm unlikely to ever own one, but I found this video very interesting.
Thank ya kindly
amazing video! it really is interesting seeing all the different horses out there and how they all have their own personalities! also, new subscriber here!
Thank ya kindly! I love em all too : )
Pretty sweet video. Loved it! The simple life ...
Nice work,thank you.
Great video...would have loved to have seen more of the horse for sale...Glad yours worked out perfectly x
Thank ya kindly! I was trying to strike the balance between nonstop b roll and tellin the story/informing. 2500 horses for sale, how do you pick?!? Thanks for the positive feedback and constructive critique : )
the little foals staying so close to there mommies!
That they do : )
It is refreshing to see you working with the young with kind but firm hands. I turned my beautiful Andalusion Stud colt over to a trainer who so mishandled him,( i didnt know) coyboy up, that he ruined parts of my innocent stud for life, i. E. Headshy, ear trama, etc.. i could never work hm out of those fears, he died at 22 yrs. Old.
@@ruggedridgeforest7775 when i weaned my foal, my mare jumped s 5" ft. Fence from a box stall to get back to her foal, i never separated them after that and they were all good with that.
She’s beautiful, you got a winner. My favorite cross is Perch X QH
Well done honest and smart!
Great video, and beautiful horses!
Thank you kindly
What an awesome video! This is so informative and interesting! Horse auctions are always really neat places to go to, and you can end up finding some great talent there.
I got into buying OTT Thoroughbreds, so I could find good horses to compete on. I ended up having a Pretty bad experience when buying on of my TB, he had been drugged, and I didn’t realize it until I paid for him and took him home. He ended up being dangerous and too unsafe to compete on for me. Lesson learned the hard way! I always take a veterinarian friend with me now.
Tb are way too hot for me!
@@ruggedridgeforest7775 And unfortunately, they are for the most part, 16-18 hands of stupid!😂. Selective breeding hasn’t done many favors for the breed.
Draft crosses are more my speed
That 17 hand beauty! What a beautiful horses.
As a teen I went to a few auctions. Not an Amish auction. It was very interesting. But I like these auctions here because you could spend some time with the horses it seems. Ride or drive them. A meet and greet. A must. Thank you for sharing.🐎
wow im impressed by these horses love the cross breeds from the perseron horses they are beautiful and big lovely greetings from the netherlands
Thank you! We love them too! Greetings returned from Worcester, Vermont!
Beautiful horses, I don’t ride but I am so amazed by people who know how to ride and know how to set on a horse. I would love to live near horses just so I could give them an apple or carrot. Thanks for your video.
Ill give them one for you Linda
That made me smile, Thank you for sending your reply.
Great film, good horses, loved it🇮🇪🍀
Thank ya kindly
great job! Best vid on the horse auctions that I have seen. I want to make a trip down and you really made it easy to understand. Continued success
Thank you kindly!
Cool stuff! You bought a beautiful horse!
This would be a great opportunity for horse trainers to take I'd love to make a future jumper outta one of these horses
Give it a go! Standardbreds are very athletic
I saw your sign " Das Fritz " and I instantly thought of a song " Das Rote Pferd " ... I think you might find it fun ! I also have an aunt Hilde (Hildegard )
Ill give it a listen!
I love the horse you got. Wow what a beauty
Thank ya kindly : )
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the kind words
You are lucky man! Have the best!
Thank ya kindly! I hope you have the best too : )
Beautiful horses. Love Hildi.
Thank ya kindly, shes amazing
They are all so beautiful I don't ride my back is gone however I love all of them.
enjoy vicariously : )
This is such a great video.
Thank you kindly
this is such a cool video, I will never log lol but this I learned so much from!
Thank ya kindly : )
Love these videos 😍
Thank ya kindly : )
Horses look calm and feel safe they've been kindly treated
Nice review
Amazing video very very very helpful
Thank you kindly
This was informative - thanks. Glad you got the right horse for you. My mare was half shire and I loved your first choice too! Looks-wise anyway. I'm not surprised you love your mare - mares are the best. Too bad your friend was stuck on a gelding. They're great also. But a mare will connect with you in a way a gelding can't (they're wired differently cuz have to nurture the babies) - they will give you their heart and when they do, there's nothing they won't do for you.
Thanks! Were getting there : )
@@ruggedridgeforest7775 It takes time. Once a mare chooses you, it's pure bliss. But, it does take time to build trust, like any relationship. (:
@@jfdc8432 18 months on, and it really only just feels like were getting there... Shes only ever been honest and earnest, but the trust is only starting to build
@@ruggedridgeforest7775 Yes, it takes time. Have you learned and tried any natural horsemanship? That method teaches us how to really understand and LISTEN to the horse. When we listen and don't demand that they do everything our way, when we honor their limits and their nature (not all horses have the same personality) a mare will appreciate that you're honoring her, and will listen to you. When she gets that you LOVE her, she will show you love back. But you have to be first. Like any female, she needs to know that you care, and that you think she's wonderful. Let her know energetically how much you appreciate her and her attempts to please you. Be easily pleased. Reward her slightest try with praise and admiration energy. She will respond. Hang in there - you'll develop a great relationship. Why? Because you want to. You're not there just for the fun. You want a real relationship with her, and she will feel the difference and reward you with a great caring heart.
Great video!! Very informative!! I’ll probably still buy based on looks (and have my challenges accordingly) but that’s just me!🤣
I wasnt skilled enough to pull that at the time
Excellent video!
Thank ya kindly : )
I know the Amish have a bad rap from people who know nothing about them. But these horses all look awesome and clearly have been treated very well.
I have Gypsies but have a Breton and would love two of the Amish shire or Percheron or Clydesdales
Thanks for sharing. I am in the market for the same thing you were. Im 2 hours away from Mt Hope. we plan on a trip there soon.
Goodluck!
Goodluck!
Yep they are not just great carpenters and farmers. They are excellent cattle handlers .
Good video you got a new follower. I myself go to horse and tack auctions frequently. I live in Central PA and there is a nice horse and pony auction with over 1,000 horses every quarter year. It's primarily almost all Amish. Best breakfast ever especially on cold mornings. I also have a white Percheron cross myself. Our farrier is Amish as well.
I just wanted to point out at time stamp 7:00 that mare backed away from the two Amish men right away.so there's obvious abuse in the picture so she's probably scared of all Amish men. I've seen the abuse myself but also know some awesome horseman,trainers ect that are Amish. It's a shame that that stigma makes their community as a whole look bad when it's simply not true!
Thanks for the thoughtful comment! Which auction in PA are you referring to?
Awww I love your horses ❤️
Me too!
Never can go wrong with a atandardbred cross they're an amazing breed
Agreed
I love love love horses but know nothing about how to pick one. Thank you for sharing
Good luck
Those horses are so cute! Good info!
thank ya kindly
Very nice video!
Thank ya kindly#
Great video. Thanks.
Thank u kindly
Мулы, лошаки. Лошади. В любом случае, отличные животные.💓🐴
I just found your channel. I wanted ask where this auction was and saw its in Ohio. My blue heeler comes from the area (40min. drive) I definately will check out your other videos.
Thank ya kindly : )
Fun! Thanks!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
The white percheron likely was going blind. That would explain the spooky behavior. Being an aged (over 20) horse leads me to believe this.
Maybe. He was also neglected in a barn and so even if hed been broke in the past. He was prolly a decade out of practice for what we were asking
Your mare is gorgeous! I hope you can get your new gelding looking as good as her! I would very much like to see updates on him!!!!
Hes chonkimg up, updates to come : )
@@ruggedridgeforest7775 can’t wait!
Also, if I didn’t know better, I would have guessed she was a friesian! Those suckers start out at ten grand! So, tell her I said she’s worth at least that much!
@@melissahilbrand similar quality, but crossbred instead of inbred : )
Nice looking Percheron cross
Thank ya kindly
Syrup ordered! 👍
I just found your channel!! Have you seen the channel 'Working Horses With Jim'? Jim also logs with horses and has a small mill, he and his wife Brenda live in upstate New York.
I am a fan of Jim's! I doubt my videos even come up on his feed, but I certainly like his style.
We need more Amish in BayArea California again ! 😇👍🤞❤️
did it used to be a large community?
Thank you so much for sharing! Would you mind sharing how much Kate ended up selling for? She’s absolutely gorgeous 😍 but so is Hilde ❤️
Kate went for just under 12k if memory serves. The buyer looked like they were willing to pay double that if someone challenged them. They publish their auction records if you google mt hope auctions.
They both felt comparable in saddle. Good minds and well broke. Kate was bigger and better looking, but a friend noticed she was stiff in the stifle and claimed Hilde the nicer mover : )
So glad the Amish in your state or where you traveled to&the animals were in awesome condition.up here in Ny I sew more &more Amish horses under weight. from the Amish constantly using the same horse all the time-even in winter-dont the Amish believe in giving these animals grain&a break? You know how many times I've been held back by friends &family from going up to these people &giving them a piece of my mind or decking them for the under weight horses hooked up to their buggies? All the horse I saw in this video were perfect &beautiful .butfor the Amish in Ny - I have no respect for how they treat their horses NONE
this auction is in Ohio, not all Amish are the same. Ohio Amish are known for the quality of their horses.
Maybe an Amish owning a fat horse is accused by their Elders of being wasteful!
