I really like your videos

[@Ralph94967]

Brenda Jim ref the comments on your horse stalls jim has it down to a tea can you imagine how many man hours it would take to muck out box stalls the way you have your stalls are just the most easy to maintain horses are happy within them

[@davidhypes5228]

Brenda mentioned the newsletter and as someone who gets it, I can say that it is well worth signing up. It is very obvious that she spends time and puts a lot of effort into each one. I look forward to getting them! Thanks Brenda! I so enjoy watching the horses. They are beautiful and little June is adorable.

[@andrewmoran7353]

🤔Yep enjoying my cooler day also and your video , like early June training also interesting Bree , June , Lady commingling 🫣🤭, funny at times animals / humans at times show the same propensities, nice update on garden etc. full summer day Jim/Brenda 👍👋

[@johnking8679]

I've just signed up !! Happy Days and God Bless !!

[@georgetadic6174]

Brenda's newsletters are so well written and descriptive. She could write a book about their life, I reckon.

[@tugonrye1984]

chuckle chuckle Lady's ears say it all , ( this is my baby stay away ) but what a gloss on these horses coats which brings the question how many hours a day Brenda spends grooming them , every time I watch these vids all of these horses look magnificent Kudos to you Brenda

[@territn8871]

I agree! Brenda keeps the horses all shiny and looking beautiful!

[@louisecassidy5991]

Just proves that rugs (blankets) are totally unnecessary for a show coat. The only time you need to rug is when they are hot and sweaty, or for in the trailer in winter. A closed fistful of black sunflower seeds daily provides B vitamins for a show shine. See, no rugs here much, and I have never seen Jim hose them down, just good feed, lots of work, and regular brushing. So simple.

[@dianestoltz8502]

Wow Jim’s voice was so commanding towards lady an she really listened

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

A great connection between the Horse and Great Horseman

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Really impressed with the way Lady responded to Jim’s command to go easy on Brea’s presence near the new fold June, it just shows how connected these horses are to Jim. The garden looks great Brenda and it great to see that both of you are enjoying the summer season. Just to let you know I have always got the new podcast updates without problems, and I have signed up for the news letter.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Foal

[@barbaraann9754]

Brenda, I loved Jim's reaction when you said about Earl at the watering trough, "Isn't he cute?" I believe Jim looked at you and said, "Cute," with his Jim look. Too funny! :) They are all beautiful horses and you two take such good care of them!!

[@HensOnly]

I thought Jim would say, "Thank you, my dear!" lol!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Horses have their ears pinned back.... That means business

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

The horses are , of course, what piqued my interest first, but as a commercial vegetable grower I have to say, Brenda, that you are growing some mighty fine lettuce in your raised bed. Here in NW Missouri it has become almost impossible to grow great quality lettuce during the summer.

[@ricksmith4736]

Poor little Bree.. thats my momma too she was saying.....

[@pamelawoodall5891]

I feel sorry for Bree.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Welcome to the world of horses , Mare Lady has moved on to her new Filly June . Once June is weaned she'll gradually become Bree's pasture buddy and possible roommate . After all they're full sisters.

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Hey Jim and Brenda, Thank you for the very entertaining video and Brenda's tour of the daily farm activities. I really appreciate Lady's protective manner with June for now . horses are naturally curious when a new foal arrives and will try to say hello and investigate. With a few natural predators like coyotes which are very prevalent where I reside in Southern New Brunswick Canada. It's great to have a protective mare in the pasture to scare off these wild animals, until the foal is old and wise enough to defend itself. Brenda your mini farm collection is growing with the addition of Pansy , Rosie The Pig ( I agree with you that Pigs are the most destructive of all the farm animals .) Nice Job Jim on backing Bill and Earl into the shed . the new collar on Earl is really taking shape and forming up to Earl's shoulders.

[@tugonrye1984]

PS The sign on your muck spreader , and you are going to Lancaster Pennsylvania, I would ask that you call in and say hello but I am in Lancaster , Lancashire , northwest England , a bit far maybe , hope you have a good trip to Pennsylvania

[@user-hg4yj7pj8l]

I wish you could arrange for your pig(s) to have an outside run, it is a small dark place and hard to keep an area of cleanliness for them. Thank you for such wonderful podcasts, I wait to see every one of them arrive (and watch them many times over). Thank you so much Becky

The photo of Baron, Lady, and June would be perfect for your 2025 calendar.

[@sueupham2519]

I love them all so much and will be ordering the new calendar when it’s time.

Bree also belongs in the family photos since she is sired by Baron and Lady too. Bree and June are full sisters.

[@c0lvin4o]

If you don't get the newsletter, you are only getting 'half of loaf'!

[@territn8871]

Boy, Lady sure can pin her ears back flatter than a fritter! She definitely didn't want Bree getting close to her baby sister, June! And daddy, Baron, didn't get any better reception either it didn't look like!😂😄🤣 Good girl, Lady, protecting your baby! Bree is a gorgeous filly, love her blonde mane and tail. Brenda, I think your garden is looking good! The lettuce looks delicious! Down here in northeast Tennessee, everyone is hurtiing for rain. Everything is drying up. My lawn even looks like straw. I'll have to resubscribe to the newsletter. For over two years I've tried subscribing but never get a newsletter. I must be doing something wrong! Hoping your week goes well, and I'll see you on Wednesday!

[@stevebonnett7868]

My dad made a slop out of oats and milk for the pigs. He said it made them gain really good and gave them a full shiny coat. Downside...we soaked the oats and milk in a whiskey barrel and it drew an insame amount of flies.

[@harryjansen6789]

Your Horses are all doing Great, great video be safe and be well

[@Bealle66]

Greenhouse and the garden look awesome. Nice job the stone around the greenhouse. It’s going to be beautiful.

[@martyjones9043]

We used a 15 gallon barrel for a pig water barrel won't leak with the plugs in 😊 love watching your videos.

[@Nancy-1249B]

Seems to me a good stall option would be to extend standing stalls where Lady and June feed. Do you call that your box stall? Looks like ( on video anyway ) it might have room for 4 . And open up the wall on the top so the horses could see each other.

[@cathiwim]

They can hear each other. That’s safe enough.

[@paulpjy4996]

Brenda thank you take us long today for another great and enjoyable video. Oh yes glad it cooled down you all here in the St. Louis area very hot today 99!!!

[@madelinegreenham]

Love watching your videos and I love your garden.that’s our job for the day out weeding our crops.We don’t have a big garden as we used to cause it’s only myself and my husband so we grow a bit for our self and some to give out to our family and friends.Lady is certainly protecting her little one as most moms would do.

[@user-hu1xg8dl4z]

Love the lettuce garden you are lucky the chickens only ate a little I have a lot of quail and they completely wiped out my garden then rabbits came in and ate my tomatoes to nothing but stalks in one night because I forgot to put my cover over them 😮 worse year I have ever had in garden but yours is beautiful 😍 Gosh LADY IS CERTAINLY protective of June love your videos 😊❤

[@joqlady888]

oh wow..I love your stone walk .

[@MrsMcbey]

Love the vids❤

[@mariephenix7168]

I subscribe to the news letter and it is very instructive. It give the opportunity to learn other information about Jim and Brenda activities such as interviews on other podcast. Very good Brenda.

[@sueupham2519]

i always love watching these horses back up perfectly. you wonder what they are thinking. l like the looks of your greenhouse now,its so pretty with flowers.and the stonework..maybe get the Amish boys to sling those stones for ya. glad lady lived through that test,,tight quarters with Bree and a wild dog. her ears said it allllll.

[@upstatesolarandrealestate864]

The boys sure love their Grandma! The certainly treat you specially and gladly accept special treatment from you 😌🥰

[@NotKev2017]

I just subscribed to your newsletter and switched back to KZbin and I'm still subscribed. Thought I would let you know.

Lady is so protective! Good garden Brenda. Thank you both for sharing.🐴🐴

[@charbipes-kuechle7521]

Lady, June, Bree, Pansy, Rosie❣️the girls & the steady geldings. In the 1930’s my grandfather said milk prices were so low he raised extra hogs, & fed his milk to the hogs.

[@johnwood7372]

So, why doesn’t Jim buy you a small rototiller so you can cultivate the garden your self?

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Good Suggestion !!!

[@user-jd2fp5vl8n]

I ❤the name June.

[@upstatesolarandrealestate864]

I was so excited to see the family getting together in your thumbnail and then I saw Lady’s ears back and it turns out she still can’t stand the man 😂 It was sad to see her being rude to Brea but sweet to see the excitement on Brea’s face to see her mom and sister. You guys are doing great and we love watching!!!🙏🩷

Thank you for sharing Jim putting the horses in the barn. I always love watching the horses getting a nice drink of water. I know they earned it and it is satisifying to watch them drink. I love the horses. Each and every one. Still love that goregious Ken. A black beauty; not that they are all stunning.

[@juliedalgardno3361]

I believe I was able to re- subscribe to the news letter but i only received a few. Thank you for reminding me Brenda. I really enjoy them and especially enjoyed tagging along with you today. Always a pleasure to see your garden and sweet care for these gentle giants. Thank you Jim! Like a well oiled machine. Your farm flows so well even through the bumps!

The newsletter is totally and completely worth getting! And it's FREE🎉

[@janeteckhart4886]

Brenda, you do put out a lovely newsletter. Very enjoyable. Bill and Baron sure were moving out with the spreader today. I think Jim likes that, getting the job done in a timely manner. Earl did fantastic today, especially backing the spreader into the barn with Bill. He seemed to be right in step with Bill, responding to commands very well. The more I hear about and see the Suffolk Punches in action, the more impressed I am. A friend here in Maine just lost her SP mare and foal to a birthing gone horribly wrong. So sad. If she gets another mare, I'll have to recommend she AIs her with Baron's wonderful genes. Anyway, great video today.

[@margaretwarner8118]

Dear Brenda, Have you heard of Elderberry Fritters? Recipes are on the net, first tho' remove any bugs etc. It's lovely to watch your lives and hear how you calmly cope with weather setbacks etc. and appreciate te gift of good weather when it comes. May God continually Bless you both, and yours family xx Maggie and Ken, who is making progress Thank you for your Prayers. X

Brenda the view with you outside of the sky says rain.My grandfather who was a railroad engineer used to say,mottled sky not long dry.His time was in the 40s and 50s.His head spent alot of time leaning out of the engine which made him an amateur meteorologist. 😊

[@ponygirl5716]

As usual, your horses all look like a million bucks. Jim does such a great job with his common sense horse training. I’ve never seen a more well behaved, happier bunch of working horses. Riding horse trainers should take lessons from Jim. They could learn a lot. I come from the riding horse world and they’re always trying to take shortcuts and the easy way out. Their horses often look stressed and unhappy compared to Jim’s horses. Kudos to Jim!!

The best portable pig water is a 10-12 inch pvc pipe with a cap on the bottom with a pig nipple water. And as long as you want. We use them to water our pigs at the fair or in a temporary pin.

[@HensOnly]

This has been a very enjoyable video, a little bit of everything and good to see what's going on with producing whatever you had in the greenhouse. Wider paths in the garden, there is no hard and fast rule you can't if you were the only one using it. Just a beautiful garden around the greenhouse!

[@bobbates7343]

Jim and his wonder wife are living at least one of my dreams . That being able to just do what Jim does . I love horses and have all my life. My allergies have prevented me from doing many things including owning horses . Still I did take massive amounts of advanced riding classes and did very well. Even had a horse I kept at a stables for a good while. The cost of doing that was equal to my mortgage on a house . So in the end I had to give it up . I love to see you with your wonderful horses . The babies are wonderful

[@kalayne6713]

I was surprised to see Jim pulling that foal by a halter instead of wrapping a rope around the foal and leading it that way. Foals still have soft vertebrae. Damage can be done. My late father was a horse whisperer and master saddler. He taught me a lot in his 99 years.

[@kevinmelias]

Thanks for the good camera work Bremda.

[@jimmclam]

I think this is one of your better videos as it touched on the variety of things that happen almost daily on a farm. A clogged spreader was a crisis, but a mild one. Farming mimics life and the ups and downs are inevitable and just a matter of degree. As a retired farmer and farrier I must say that I found the temperaments of mares, even when they didn't have a foal with them, to be much more unpredictable than stallions and of course the geldings are the easiest to work with as a general rule.

[@fion1flatout]

Wow Earl manoeuvring was so brilliant it's worth me trying to spell 'manoeuvring'

Bree is one very beautiful girl and June is so so gorgeous, she is really quite different to Bree in a few ways and as big as Bree is l think June might turn out to be a very big mare.l truly think June could be shown in the ring she's a real stunner.All the horses are looking amazingly healthy,Baron has turned out really well what a horse.All the very best dear friends 💞
