Feeding On Saturday & Visiting the Store

Ever wonder what its like to be a manager at a horse stable? Follow along with me as we take care of and manage over 19 horses!
My name is Joel, I work and manage Sunny Knoll Stables located in North Eastern Pennsylvania. There's always something happening as we do our best to take care of these beautiful animals. Between the weather and everyday shenanigan's, who knows what is going to happen next!
It's Saturday! Time to feed some horses, we also pay a visit to our favorite farm market. What will happen today? That depends on the donkeys...

Joel, I think you are one of the happiest people on youtube. You always seem to be either smiling or looking for something to smile about. Cheers from the left edge of Canada.

[@A_Stable_Life]

Well thank you! 😁

Andrew says " you know you hit the big time when you see your name up in magic marker" 😃

[@lisalee1068]

Joel the donkeys need Santa hats and/or bows!

[@tammaragill9347]

It's always thrilling to see the horses coming into the barn and directly to their OWN stalls 😊

[@tatesc4252]

Having herd of horses is awesome, watching you and your family tend to their needs including the donkeys is amazing.

[@valeriesanders7227]

It's amazing how they line up and go to their own stalls! Great videos! I'm learning alot! Thanks for sharing!

[@ub4943]

Nice Job Joel! I am sure all the horse owners Luv your new channel.

[@summerboyd1285]

The best video to date ! Your enthused and i love how you incorporated your cousins and farm market into the video. I deff think most people will agree with that ! Great job Joel

[@jasonmcbride4331]

I sure love them little donkeys 🥰 Make me wish I had the time to get my own .. Enjoying your channel Joel 🤘👊 Stay safe & God bless

[@michellepollino4986]

Love all the horses and donkeys.

[@HolmansHomestead]

Love the little guys swear think of the Hobbits evertime we see them. Just so cute. Yep love watching horses walking in and going to there stalls. Have a great day 😀

[@kens.3729]

Swapping Old light bulbs 💡 with the LED Strip is Incredible. Helps the horses, minis and you. 👍

[@erinbrooks1871]

That’s how we do our blankets too. Who need some to be buckling and unbuckling all the time lol

[@rsmith6275]

Another great video

[@darsam4044]

I love weather. Buster be well.

[@gillianmuspic2337]

I struggled for almost a year having to give my cat a pill. Was grateful when it went down to every other day. Then I discovered 'pill pockets' by greenies. Now when I open the drawer that both items are in he comes to his place on the bed and I break off some of the pocket and roll it around the pill and he enjoys it. He even seems to be biting the 'treat' Hoping that you have the same success with the molasses cake

[@kathyhoot7277]

Love watching the horses! Love your information on horses! Love your whole family and all the ventures you guys are into. Think Grammy would addopt me? I wish I had a big family and we had a big farm. Keep up the great job!

[@bethwilt3483]

Love Weather and Tucker! Absolutely beautiful horses. But then again, all horses are amazing creatures. So majestic! Another great video Joel.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

Love your videos. I am learning so much about horses. I've been watching the Veggie boys for a few years and now I know what you do when you say "I'm going to feed the horses". Your videos are interesting and informative, and you are getting more comfortable making them as time goes on. Thank for the content.

[@mnickiea83]

Love weather!!! He is so beautiful!!!

[@airescastro8082]

Awwweee we miss you Leia ❤️❤️❤️

[@taniaallen72]

I so wanna wash those feed buckets LOL

[@A_Stable_Life]

[@hollyslaughter5505]

More light Less electric 👍👍

[@glorialewis2093]

Hi hope you have a good day!

[@Pete-zq3dc]

Now we know what the food smells like, BUT What does it TASTE Like Joel?? We are all counting on you to taste test for us now. Make sure its on camera, and don't forget the brown sugar stuff

[@coreyshelman]

Yes, we need a taste test of everything fed to the animals lol

[@lisabillard8049]

I love watching the horses coming into their stalls. Another great video Lefty!

[@A_Stable_Life]

Thank you!

[@kimbeaux75]

I like how you named each horse coming in to familiarize us, thank you!!!

[@carolynmoody9460]

BLESSINGS 💖 Merry Christmas ⛄🎄

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Great video your commentary just keeps getting better and better XX uk

[@Erinys.]

Good that your hay stack isn't getting infested with mice

[@davidcole501]

lOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@maybelmungin1138]

You Should have seen the big smile on my face watching my Babies go in their stalls

[@kens.3729]

Those Boys are making some Noise. Would Love to have that as a Ringtone.😬 It would get Looks.

[@sherrypowers552]

I love the donkeys! I pray Buster will be all right. Please please please keep us informed.

[@sherrye8977]

Love how they trust you and the new lighting! Poor pup!

[@onemorchatykathy]

The paint is my favorite. My husband raised paints.

[@carolynchatham6376]

Joel nice to see how well the horses in your stable are so well taken care of. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

Do any of the horses have a strange habbit? I knew a horse that loved mints and would check everyone's pockets he could ha ha.

[@Mysticol75]

love watching your videos. Learning so much about horses. They are beautiful. Keep up the great work

[@sirtedricwalker2979]

Merry Christmas!

[@traceywye6504]

Glad to see you to,. I have been wondering the cows get all type of treats potato, beats. Well we know horses can eat carrots, apples, sugar cubes, peppermint and cake. Have you ever experiment with potatoes, pumkins extra, and no I would feed any horses e packets of carrots,. I did not know that cows liked potato!!? I know you have to be more carful with horses. PS Elephants like giants water mellons, grow jack is the chanel on you tube!!!

[@michaelcollins6851]

I like watching them March in to eat

[@cajunfid]

Its crazy how much you get used to "being in the dark" so to speak. I recently redid a lot of the lighting in my house and I just never realized how dark most of it was until I put the new lights in. And now I need to spend a lot of time touching up drywall and repainting walls and ceilings.

[@g.s.7022]

Thanks for a new and again amusing video. The fact that the funny mini donkeys are getting louder cannot be ignored, it will be interesting how they use their stubborn heads in the future and show you who the bosses are😉😂. How is Tucker doing now is he getting healthier and feeling better? In any case, happy holidays to you and your family and a happy New Year🕯🎄🪔

[@IntenseVisuals]

Being a city boy I legitimately thought horses sustained themselves entirely on hay and carrots/apples people gave em.

[@traceywye6504]

If you are working a horse then he can't feed all day so extra food needs to begiven. Now wild horses feed 247.but if their not enough grass they will starve. Now joel is cheaking, feeding them 2x a day. Horses are an expensive hobby and the blankets and tack used feed shoeing

[@traceywye6504]

Those donkeys are wonover by snacks so when buster finished the medication, he may like you more!!!

[@wildchook745]

A visit to the other side and catch everyone eating LOL Another great video with the horses and the donkeys. Ta (thank you), Joel.

[@gaylekerr9826]

Joel, I really enjoy your videos - love the horses, love your interaction with them, and the explanations about everything you do. I have to say that when you swing that camera around though, my stomach can't handle it! Please just move it a little slower.. Thanks!

[@farmcentralohio]

Agree, bit of motion sickness when he spins to much

[@danbourque1756]

Love ya Jual great video

[@burlblanchard1447]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@sherrieshatzen3801]

Do you have an indoor & an outdoor arena? Do you ever add beet pulp to the feed? I would like to see a video that does a complete tour of your barn & your facilities--tack room, etc. Thanks for the video.

[@bogipepper]

Third I have seen, I'm in

[@donmcfarland4321]

Fun, fun vid! Thanks, Joel.

[@Debbiehubbard1]

Wow led is the way to go! !!

[@tinafitzwater972]

Are all the horses with shoes or since ther there they don't have them..whether is absolutely beautiful..Tucker is awesome too

[@garybilan1109]

Joel we need your wife in some of your videos

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

Another good vadidio. You’re a natural, from a lefty.

[@lesleywatkins1172]

Do you wash the blankets or the owners? Weather is a beautiful horse! 🥰

[@margadanks4528]

Hey Joel I have the perfect stable for u guys, but it’s located in Kentucky, look under brad Simmons, the horse barn is made by a bridge builder, the whole thing is made of concrete reinforced with beams, has a apartment upstairs n there’s a small house on property too, there is 22 acres, perfect for horses, the stables are all there to name just one thing, if a person were to update it a little cos the apartment is a 70s theme, but huge barn omg, u guys could board so many more horses, n u guys could make that property into a multi million dollar ranch, just FYI it’s under abandoned stable n farm, it would be such a awesome deal, the price is $400,000 but with a little cleaning n such could be such a beautiful place worth millions

[@saltydog8244]

Nice post. Your getting much better at this. Also great to see updated lighting. God bless all there.

[@marialorenavillanueva5342]

oh horses!!

[@kiran99490]

Hi Joel this is Kiran from India ur channel growth is awesome man I am very happy for u and ur channel

[@AlleyCat-1]

Have you thought about seeding the muddy area in the field during this time so it has time to be pushed in the ground from them walking around & then grow when it warms up?

[@Freedom10x]

Sounds like there is a cat in the background calling out to you lol

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great video Joel!

[@suesmith5033]

I so enjoy your videos. Next year vlogmas? 😉 Do you Groom the horses?

[@barbaraanderson1862]

Great job!

[@carolanderson3679]

The girl with the bagel, is that your wife? She's beautiful.

[@susanallen1100]

Really enjoying your videos.

[@patricksmith3135]

Joel; I love your enthusiasm for your work. But how do you know which bucket is for which horse? Do you have their names written on them (and I just can't see that) or what?

[@kenlynch6332]

🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🐐🐐

[@luadraponies]

Used to use soaked beet pulp.

[@bogipepper]

They know their stalls?

[@stashoski2675]

You ever think about putting a Timer in for receptacles for the water outlets

[@A_Stable_Life]

That's an idea 😉😁

[@bogipepper]

Red filiment LEDs, please.

[@OSGCourtWatch]

Have ya ever tried strapping one of those heavy blankets like the donkeys wear over lea during hunting season? Can be amazing what that does for some dogs...

[@A_Stable_Life]

As a matter of fact we have! She hates it 😂. It's super adorable on her. But she hates it. She loves the cold.

[@OSGCourtWatch]

@@A_Stable_Life yeah, thought the security of the added weight might help so the gunshots don’t freak her out so bad for a couple of weeks during huntin season...

[@kathischoonover5436]

Does Megan help you out a lot or does she spend most of her time at the farmers market? You and Megan look so cute together 🥰 What's Buster being treated for?

[@A_Stable_Life]

She tries too, however this time of year it's hard for her to get out of the store.

[@kathischoonover5436]

@@A_Stable_Life yeah but I bet they appreciate her help in the market. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your video's.

[@nancyreuter9891]

Do those blankets need to be washed occasionally? They must get pretty dirty, over time.

[@luadraponies]

Out in the paddock undo front straps first. If it is windy or a fright the rug will slide off if they take off. Then belly then backs.

[@luadraponies]

Horses are a lot like us and some have allergies. Had a few so drippy nose at times.

[@charlesrayneal7241]

Are the mini donks your own or ?!? They are so cool.

[@A_Stable_Life]

Glad you like them! They are ours 😁

[@farmcentralohio]

I'm glad you asked this, was wondering the same thing.

[@charlesrayneal7241]

for the mini donkeys

[@mjinfl967]

👍🏻🎉🐎

[@sharonhilliard3780]

Joel what kind of horse is weather ? Is he a Clydesdale ? He such a handsome horse .

[@luadraponies]

Looks friesan, a draught that is popular now as saddle.

[@ssmith1931]

👍👍

[@Gardendreamsforme]

I just realized that you don’t have any mares.. all geldings, lol. I’m getting old

[@susancollado5290]

💕How often do you brush the horses coats & check there hooves💕

[@A_Stable_Life]

Love the question, I just recorded a video talking about their hoof care 😁. And grooming is as often as we can for our horses.

[@Mikey__Mike]

Hi Joel i was wondering when you said the horses are used to your presence so you can stand behind them. Are there any tell tale signs they might get scared and do something if they do not know the person?

[@A_Stable_Life]

Hey Micheal, excellent question! I'll go more in depth in a future video. But yes, two obvious signs are they will pin their ears and or swish their tails. Both are a threat. Like I said I'll go more in depth in a future video 👍😁

[@Mikey__Mike]

@@A_Stable_Life Thanks Joel 😁

[@mikewinn1484]

Why don't you heat the stables?

[@zinnialady5153]

😀

[@bethfoster6591]

Question: I know they get fed twice a day; do they get water in the pasture?

[@juliannemathes6785]

Why are the horses in blankets all the time? It's not 20 or 30 below there.

[@A_Stable_Life]

Alot of our horses will shiver and lose weight quickly when it gets below freezing. However not all of them. We go by each horses comfort level for what level of blanket they get 👍

[@chrislehiy723]

Oh noes. I was the 666th like. Couldn't help myself.

[@CrystalElise917]

Are there any female horses?

[@brittanykropp5497]

Is your dog gun shy

Yes, extremely
