A lot of nice memories in this video for me at Kalona, Iowa in the 50s

Nice. I have more cold-blooded horses 😂 Gypsies, Norwegian Fjord. Better suited for this. But your coming along fine ❤

You should really get into writing books or audio book story telling! You really know how to draw in the audience 👏

At 17:00 minutes omfg he is needing some seriouse food on his body. Way to skinny¡!!!!

Amish are the biggest animal abuser ever, beware

❤❤❤❤❤❤🐎🐎💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍😉😉😎😎🌞🌞

Not sure he really spooked at a little before the 18 minute mark. He could have as the dog entered his field of view but, to me, he just looked a little fresh and had a burst of energy. He arched his neck and kinda jumped instead of tucking his tail and fleeing. Just my opinion but either way you handled it well by getting him calmed down then proceeding. He's a very nice young horse and I'm impressed the way you are starting him easy, keeping it fun, and letting him grow. Hell remember these lessons when you begin working him again.

😂👍👍👍🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎🐎😉😘😎😎😎

Beware that the Amish really do not treat their animals very well. Just be sure to do your research

Get mules

Minities are all over eastern Oklahoma there buggy people they have good horses

Thanks

just a tip here, the liverpool without a curb chain is no different than the snaffle you were using before. The liverpool is a curb bit and the leverage comes from the curb chain. Hildy looks like she got more standardbred than draft. Could be why she is so quick to go. I've had two runaways. Never get out of the cart. Never bail out.

Amazing animals! Yell at them in French. They love it!

I really enjoyed this entire video thank you

And just think, that's only 2 horse power!

Thats no good constant jerking itx head, he needs to try speaking softly and reward with treats 😮

Bro this is some rugged shit right here. I've been trying to document our sugaring up here in the Adirondacks because it's such an amazing process. I love seeing the horses involved, we used to haul our sap with horses pre-1970s but have used a dozer since. It would be cool to try to revive that method since we still have horses, but we'll see. Thanks for the inspiring video.

Amazing video my friend.....🇨🇦

Riding isn't easy. Horseman ship isn't easy. And obviously, it's the same for work with horses like you do it. Huge respect to you for being so gentle and loving with your horses.

Kudos to you for bravery and honesty! Glad everyone is ok.

I'm actually glad that the accident wasn't filmed. I am, beyond happy, that no got hurt in this wreck. I will say that both animals looked a little hot in the collar for harness work. I guess they just need more time. Best wishes. Thank you for sharing

A bit won’t matter for bolting horses. Good luck,

You are lucky ...run aways are the scary...glad everyone is ok

My brother in law had a big cart he did rides with his shires did the same and he was thrown .. I found him in barn unable to get out of chair. Being a paramedic ,I found he had rib fractures due to the height of fall he also was a big guy. Been around the horses for 27 yrs ! They do spook or get upset . . Just make the trust thing work the drafts are incredible. We also had Percheron . Glad to see all is good. Vet bills are💰. Just cost us 20k+ only to loose our oldest AQH . We r 30 min from tuft Cummings large animal hosp . 1 of the best in NE if not USA

If you have horses accidents do happen. We had 2 shires ,we also had 3 AQH. We now have a freisian cross. Nice team ! Amish are not very good to them ! Ours was poor shape hooves n weight. Just always look to other who learn too ! Good luck.

Thank you for your video & honest sharing. We are always learning with horses. I learned it wasn't 'if' I would have an accident but 'when.' If you want a YT channel to learn more about driving horses/ponies, I love the channel barryhook2. He's in the UK where there's better horsemanship and he's been driving/training all his life. I think you'll enjoy watching him train & overcome all sorts of things. Take care💙

The amish use the horse breeding like others breed dogs to sell. That's what they do, horse breeders. Big deal. And the elder's "extra possessions"? doesn't sound amish to have anything extra

so the amish auction new their newly minted horses, not just the throw away ones after they have used every bit of vitality. Sweet

DOnt BUY any horses from the AMish they dont get rid of any livestock unless something is wrong.

No matter what the bit is, if your horse is scared enough, they will continue to bolt, even if that means ripping their mouth up really bad. Keep working on having gentle hands, keep working on your relationship with your horses. Sometimes stuff just happens.

I cant believe you are using them in open bridles.

the best teamster videos on youtube are Working Horses with Jim..... check him out, he is excellent

looks like you just have a simple snaffle on each horse, also they are stepping out pretty lively, I would not allow that, they need to be consistent and not managed at whatever gait they choose. You might try an over check or side checks to give you better stopping power. They could easily pull you and that cart and a full load of manure on their mouths, no effort. That manure cart is small enough you could use them single on it and work each one individually. Also, with that simple snaffle a straight pull has zero effect if they are bolting. your only hope was to see saw that bit back and forth and really hard jerks to get their attention and refocus on you.

Wow! Mesmerizing beautiful country and horses! 🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋

Everyone makes mist akes but it takes a man to admit it. Well done, it is a learning curve.

I love your attitude! That spreader is awesome - homemade? Awesome spread you' all live on! I just subscribed!!!

Horses can just go wrong at times, add humans, equipment, harness and even more can go wrong. I've been on the ground too, my friend, once stopped myself hurling headfirst over a barbwire fence by grabbing the barbwire. Better a little blood than a broken neck.

Oh my goodness lm sitting hear with ❤❤ coming out my eyes....just how fantastically beautiful are those horses.lf l had LOTS of money l would want them all,that stunning black mare who got attached to your wife was UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTIFUL dose this gentleman have a website please not to buy but to look, thankyou so much for sharing this video lm a horse Lady of 65 years and horses are my life.All the very best to you and your family uk England

There will always be someone out there who just can't help themselves,the not so nice ones 😊 But l can see your a good man,your horses are well groomed well fed and look very happy and contented....which is wonderful to see.Your harnesses are in good condition,and you have a beautiful place.Ive just found this channel but this video dose look familiar maybe l came across it quite some time ago.Wishing you and your family all the very best uk England

This is a literal record of s*** happens (when spreading it)! :) Glad all turned out well and the fact that your horse stayed down and calm is a credit to the relationship you two have!

Wrong sorta horses, these are roadsters, you need heavy horses, cool blooded, steadier.

Inspiring and appreciated, actually. Thanks. Be well.

The amish abuse their animals and are horrible people. do some research.

👍

Those are NOT DRAFT horses.

Just found your channel. I really like your content! This was an educational video. Appreciate you sharing these unpleasant experiences. Most content out there focuses on aesthetics and unrealistic horse perfectionism and how perfect they are together. I think most people panic and do more harm than good to/for their horse in an emergency situation. We need realistic content like this! These scenarios are very important lessons. That’s just my opinion though.😁 Your calmness and overall handling of this situation was spectacular and again, educational. Cheers

Hi Joseph, I would love to watch your video all the way through but there’s a lot of whistling going on when you’re speaking I’m thinking maybe you have the mic too close to where you’re speaking

A lot can go wrong in driving. There are plenty of videos out there of horses going down in harness. I have even seen Budweiser horses go down, so even the professionals get it wrong sometimes. Don't beat yourself up.
