BUYING A HORSE?????

[@karene9131]

I miss being around horses...I love the smell of a horse barn!!!❤️🤗☀️

[@hughperkins707]

The smile on Jim’s face talking about buying two horses with his girls with him is Priceless.

[@PumpkinVillage]

She was a good looking horse. Nice to hear all the horse knowledge being thrown around. Take care and stay safe, Al

[@Dick49311]

Thanks for taking us along on your trip. It was interesting just listening to the conversation. Also, thanks to the other horseman for allowing you to film your visit. He has some nice looking Percherons but the older you get, who wants an 18 hand team, unless they’re in a show hitch. A 17 hand horse is tall enough, especially when it comes to harnessing. To me width is more important than height. The whole visit and conversation was very interesting. Thank again.

[@canvids1]

nice to see other horses. You are so at ease around horses. I guess someone like you that has been around them for many years you can just look at them and know what you can do and not do.

[@kellyellingson2335]

Very nice to see your mature outlook as well as the owner. Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@farmboy5622]

Wow!!! I thought I was in a time-warp!!! I am use to seeing Jim in his buildings, or out with his horses, when the videos start. And then BAM, there he was in a regular vehicle, going down the road, with the lovely Brenda by his side. Took me a little bit to wrap my head around that. But then we see him in a barn full of horses, just touching them gently, and leading them around, and they obeyed his commands and touch. And then I said to myself,.....that's the Jim we all know. (Gotta admit, it was a little weird seeing you in a vehicle.) (Ha!Ha!) I wonder if your horses can smell the smell of a vehicle on you, and think to themselves,.....he's been cheating on us again?!?!

Very interesting today ! Thanks for sharing !!

I'm learning so much about the proportions of the draft horse.Very interesting.Nobody in my part of North Carolina has need for draft breed.The first horse I learned to ride was a Morgan.My wife has had quarter horses.

Gosh im in love with her working on fencing in few acres and cleaning up around the farm .i really want to have some in few years need to build a house for them before i start looking and deff need to reserch what i need

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

Now I know why you never considered Shires. "oh I dont want a 18hh oh my goodness" Made me chuckles. Shires are very eager to work as well. Often built with wide strong front end even as mares.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Actually, I would still love to have a Shire someday.

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim After working with Shires....I dont see myself owning anything else. I just love their general behavior and calm demeonor. You can see a few on my channel. My friend raises one or two a year. I'm in Quebec so we are close and ours live outside all year. People of bigger stature are getting into larger breeds and we already see the price going up because of demand and low advailability. (also gorvenment sponsored inflation, of course) Don't expect anything under 17hh though even for a mare! We got 2 mare including the heaviest muscular white one bred with a 19.5hh stallion. It's due for august and that's gonna be a powerhouse when it grow up!

[@gregholl5011]

I think I have told you but the first draft horse I bought had been a pulling horse. He would hit that evener so hard no other horse wanted to work with him! Then I got a team of mares one experienced one just halter broke. They worked so good together I sold the pulling horse.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

It's always exciting to go shopping for new horse. Jim, the late Maurice Telleen, founder of the Draft Horse Journal, once told me he thought the reason that one didn't see too many Percherons used in pulling competitions was that they were too smart to be exploited for that purpose (:. Back in Bavaria, there were a good number of Percherons in pulling competitions, but they were of the European, stockier type than what is found here in the USA. One of my Percherons is a Modoc Herbert son, and he is willing to pull anything. I find that generally Percherons have better hooves than American Belgians.

Great video great 👍

[@DarkRumAgain]

At thirteen, in the mid fifties, when I would be sent to the barn to hook up one of the teams, a mother/daughter pair, the older would step on my foot, just enough to hold me, or lean to hold me against the stall wall. I explained to my boss the constant delay in getting them harnessed, and he advised I had to show her who was boss. ‘Whack her across the head’. The next time it happened, I grabbed an old wooden stave water bucket nearby, whacked her across the head, and proceeded to harness them up without incident. The bucket had separated into it’s staves. When I proudly explained my success, I received a sound kick in the ass, as he yelled, “my grandfather made that bucket!”I was able to re-assemble the bucket, and learned a lesson. I Enjoy your videos.

[@louisecassidy5991]

Interesting visit, see what he had. Funny there are mare people and gelding people. I like mares myself, all my "keepers" were mares, and I figured that if you have mares you need never run out of horses, they self-propagate. I also think there is a spark to them that's not always there in a gelding. Never ever noticed any oestrus behaviour or hormonal issues unless I was looking for it. Never found them temperamental like some think they are. You're well down the track now and its March '21 and you've got those Suffolk colts to play with. I did like that filly, very pretty. and quiet.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, we really don't have any problems with Lady, mares can be good to have around

[@agranetmedia2667]

Jim, I don't know if I go along with the being-gelded-in-even-years. I've had 2 Haflinger geldings, and a mare. I bought each of the geldings as a 2 year-olds, a year apart. According to their registration papers, each was gelded as a yearling, at 13 months and 14 months old, respectively. I had the one for 4 years and I still have the other, now 18 years old. Both matured level at withers and croup. That's just two horses, I know, but that's been my experience. Dennis, in Ontario, Canada.

so glad we found you. We should collab!!

[@Bret4207]

Shoulda come down to the big auction in Heuvelton today Jim. I think there were over 100 horses! Wish I'd thought ahead of time to let you know about it. Horses are high now! That mare would ok in the woods and she'll fill her chest out some. Hard to find decent horses that aren't sky high anymore.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Bret4207 I should have gone, but I thought it was an Amish farm sale.

[@Bret4207]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim They listed it as a consignment auction. Musta been 500 people there anyway. If you know Christie Miller (? I think) the auctioneer from Burke, get his schedule. They have at least 6 other Amish auctions coming over the next 3 months. I think he's on auctionzip.com, but I'd also imagine the Free Trader up that way or Malone paper (if there is still one) might carry his notices. I'm pretty sure the guy you got the cultivator from was at the auction today. Just looked, they have a number, 518-483-6804, you can get on their mailing list.

Jim, Have you worked with Clydesdales at all or their smaller cousins, Irish Cobs? I’m sort of thinking a couple of 14/15 hand Cobs might suit us in Nova Scotia. We’ll be cutting grass and skidding firewood.

I never saw such neglected hoofs at a horse breeder before. Seems as if he doesn't care too much about his horses. It is no excuse telling he has taken her only two weeks ago from pasture.
