DRAFT HORSES LOGGING ON A GORGEOUS WINTER DAY!!!

[@seandunne2464]

I so enjoy looking at your on going work with your fabulous horses Jim it brings me back in time. I only came across you last week it's as i said so enjoyable to watch and by the way Brenda will make a great plough girl. I breed and show Connemara Ponies myself however I followed my dad back I the day when he ploughed and tilled the land with horses.Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 and keep the videos coming .

[@russlong7175]

It's amazing they back up, not knowing where they are going on his command. What trust.

[@bartsiegwart2996]

I loved at the end when the horse were walking/pulling in perfect unison as one combined creature. The true meaning of "teamwork". Today's society has lost touch with God's Earth. Hard outdoor work is wholesome and brings joy and satifaction in the doing. A horse isn't a pet, it's a work relationship. It takes time every day to have a relationship with a horse. That made our lives slower, more peaceful and closer to God.

[@hayfork100]

Jim sure works hard and efficiently maneurvering the horses and machinery around to get the job done. He's a Master Logger!

If logging with horses was an Olympic event you would take home a gold medal, you are all truly great athletes. ❤

Would not get a medal...Zero skills !

I love to see the horses in forestries. My father was an experienced user of horses for forestry in the 50 and 60 ties when many thought that horses would become useless in relation to large and heavy machines even on smaller forestries, and among others he was asked to be part in a series on the radio that promoted the advantages with use of horses for different types of forestries. I remember in particular the summer when I turned 5 in 1959 where I was often in the woods with my dad and the horses all day and sat on the horseback to control one of the two kind horses he used to take out 12,5 m long poles to be used for reinforce dams towards the sea in the Netherlands, and this was a great experience that I will remember for all my days. I have a lot of good memories with my dad, the horses, some kind loggers and the forest both in summer and wintertimes. Thanks for your video😊

[@st7323]

These horses are amazing!! Such beauty and gracefulness ❣️ I wonder if in the silence that we witness, are the two of them communicating in someway. I absolutely love horses! I wish I could have grown up around them. Just special and majestic. 🖤🤎 That You God for these beautiful beast❣️ Such intelligence.

[@raysmith3142]

Appears to me that Bill and Ken are making a very good team.

[@janereynolds7555]

Stunning! The training and expertise these horses have to move in such precise ways is truly amazing. Bravo.

The BEST winter logging in the woods video! New snow on the trees and the ground - horses walking in the woods with no other sounds - Jim cutting down and cutting up trees so masterfully - horses pulling logs in the deep snow. Beautifully photographed, Brenda. You should get an award for this one! (thought I saw some shots that would look good in the 2024 calendar) : )

[@jillchase546]

I love how calm and well behaved the horses are

[@richardsurber8226]

I think I could watch this weekly. The rhythm of the horses and the harness is spetacular

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

I don't think anything could be more professional - the mastery with the chainsaw and the other machinery involved, the handling of the horses, as well as the video itself. Fascinating! Everything the result of a lot of patience, skill and experience.

[@jamesabare4877]

Such a hard life logging in Northern NY during the winter on both Jim and the horses, but they do such a good job. Ken and Bill are so well trained shows how good Jim is at training his horses. They work on his command without him even being on the cart.

When he felled the first tree it was so beautiful seeing the sun come thru the powdery snow

WOW ! What a beautiful video. Beautiful, beautiful silence as well. For me, the little bit of music did not add value. No way was the sound of that "music" as beautiful as the rest of the video. You two and the horsed must be really pooped at the end of the day. Thank you. This was a mesmerizingly beautiful adventure for me as I am sure for other of your followers.

[@robertst.julian8265]

Thank you for your amazing posts with work horses. As a boy I was brought up on a farm and we too did haul pulpwood and logs during the winter season. The snow & ice conditions enabled us to move with some ease when doing this work. You also have some excellent beauriful horses with accompanying harnesses for this winter work. I enjoy your love of work & horses. Best to you 🇨🇦🦮🍁💞👀

[@mariephenix7168]

I love Brenda’s talent as camera girl.

[@bartsiegwart2996]

We had a shire named Babe and used her in the UP of Michigan to skid pulp. We pealed the logs with short old car leaf springs that were sharpened on one end. I used to take Babe for a ride after work. I had to climb up on the coral fence and jump over onto her. I was 5 years old then I am 66 now and retired in Florida. Babe left a permanant influence on me. I have loved draft horses all my life. I love visiting Machinaw island just to see the horses. God Bless the Amish !

[@grammajean1327]

This video shows how industrious a logger must be when using horses. Mucking out the trailer to keep the dung from freezing is so much easier than dealing with it frozen. There doesn't appear to be a lazy bone in any of the family right down to the children. Good examples and experience are the teachers of people who work well anywhere. God is truly blessed by your work and worship qualities, as are the viewers who enjoy your lifestyle videos. Thank you.

[@charleswalker3836]

I had watched the snowy video before I got to read the newsletter, I had enjoyed the video so much I hadn’t even noticed it was a no talking video! I had to go back and watch it again. It was one of the best I’ve seen. Jim works with the rest of the team so well that they just don’t always have to be explained. Even though the horses have been a team such a short time, I think they work so well together because they were both trained by Jim, and each of them knows what is expected of them.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Interesting watching Jim and the horses work together 😊

[@marydickey1212]

Magnificent video!.. Brenda/Jim/horses..ALL well done! very enjoyable to watch "Masters" working at their craft.

[@chrislittlefarm]

That was truly a beautiful winter day! As always a joy to watch 😊 I guess the skid steer was more tired in the evening than the horses 😅 Wish you a wonderful week! -Chris

[@johnkomosa4089]

Hi Chris, yes, Jim knows that Torque, of that engine real good, he had it down low and grunting. Good low rpm to torque ratio on that engine. I wonder if it is the German Duetz engine? It does not sound like a Kabota. The excavator sounds more like a Kabota, I have to find out ah ha.😄, ok, back to horses..

[@chrislittlefarm]

@@johnkomosa4089 Hi John, I think it's a Perkins and the excavator has a JohnDeere engine. Although Deutz has always been one of the largest engine companies, they have never been very much in the US market, as far as I know. However, very good engines, all my equipement runs on them 😁

Excellent video. I did some logging over 50 years ago in Georgia. You make this look easy, and in the snow.

[@1striperon]

It is hard for me to gauge the size of the logs until Jim gets them on the scoot. The two logs he loads in this video are quite large. Jim must enjoy having the logs be so big. It takes a special person to do all it takes to do his job, wading in the deep snow, braving the cold. 👏👏 Sure is beautiful in the woods.

[@bobogilvie4472]

I feel sorry for people that were born in warm climates and how much thet miss out on. I love the 4 seasons we have in this part of our world. It is definitely a plus in my opinion.

Such good horses!!! Thanks Jim&Brenda

[@cheryls3162]

Actually I love all of your videos❣️ Even the saw mill videos, I feel like I'm onsite watching everything that's done. No two days are alike on a farm.

[@woolyhighlander7280]

A nice little TreeFarmer Skidder would do ten times the work with a lot less bother 1

[@chips4974]

True but the channel would not be called "Working Horses With Jim" and do a little more damage to the forest . Other viewer's tell him to get a farm tractor ( he has 2) . That kind of comment is nice , but it misses the whole point of his channel .Jim loves his horses and wow he gets a lot done .Example 6000 bales of hay to sell. Thousands of bf lumber skidded out . Paid by Paul Smith College to him. I believe Jim is making a good living with his horses. Let's not forget beef cows ,lumber ,sleigh rides and stud fees for Baron. As we say in my area "Jim's not a hurting ". Yes a lot less bother but would it be as much fun with a littleTreeFarmer Skidder versus his well trained horses . Just my thoughts .Cheers

[@woodcutter4670]

Beautiful video!. Brought back some memories for me. Jim is one hard working guy and the horses are very well trained. A little tip, when I was doing a bunch of logging I took some steel rod and put a hook on one end so that I could push or pull the chain under the logs so that I didn't have to try to hand dig and to get the chain through.

[@Michael-fl9qg]

When the team is in work mode I find it so fascinating how they turn their ears back to you in anticipation of the next command .thank you both for great video .
