I enjoyed watching Bill shove Duke over when Duke was trying to shy away from the excavator. Ken has a few more pounds on him to be able to do that more easily, but Bill is one strong horse.

[@louisecassidy5991]

Re the weaning, right over a good fence is quietest, where they can see and touch noses, and the mare comes and goes, no yelling, just no suckling, and certainly no stress, not horses or the humans who have to listen to it. Eventually the mare ceases to bother, as the milk dries up. The foal realises life will not come to an end just because there is no milk. Greetings from Australia.

[@GrantRowell-u9q]

Jim, I really like the way you train your horses. You have way more patience then me. And your wisdom concerning how your horses are thinking is uncanny. you are right on.

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Jim and Brenda, great video today, I really appreciate your training strategy with Duke . When he shied away from the excavator . You made a great move and tied Duke and Bill to the excavator. Which will hopefully solve his issue. I really enjoyed how well Duke is really in step with Bill. .

[@ameliaf784]

Closeups of the legs super interesting! You can see how much more efficient Bill is. Duke sure is willing though! He’ll get there!

[@CarolHawkins-i8q]

It was so interesting to see Duke's reaction to the small excavator in comparison to the bigger machine the day before. Thank you for taking us along this day. The sunset was so,peaceful to see. 😊😊😊

[@RaymondWKing-dn8wf]

A very important apart of a Horse is how their Legs and feet work, how even thy step, no under stride / reach, no overreach and tripping themselves. I love shots like this thanks Jim! and have a wonderful day.

[@janetschmitt6760]

How nice to work outdoors in November and not have cold fingers!

[@misterpanini8169]

Duke looks like he's pulling well! I'm waiting for the day when Duke's and Bill's eveners are in the same slots, then I'll know he's hit another milestone.

[@Gregory-en5kq]

[@cindycarlson7881]

The weather was unseasonably warm here last week. So glad it wasn't freezing cold to put fence posts in! Sweet Duke really freaked going by the excavator, but your patience and horse wisdom is just what he needs! 💙

[@Munguy-i8j]

Thank you Jim and Brenda❤❤

[@brendahogue5487]

Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you Jim working the horses logging

[@territn8871]

Skippy is a good squirrel dog!🐿 I thought Duke would be over his fear of the "yellow monster" today! Having him tied up to it may have helped relieve his fear.🤞 I was thinking it was getting about time to wean June. Lady sure is a good mother. She's very loving and protective of her babies!🥰

[@andrewmoran7353]

🧐Enjoyed Duke’s OJT / training session in the woods, funny different scares etc with the horses, training preserving does the trick, nice fence line idea and work good odds ends day 👍👋

[@chips4974]

"Got your boots on Brenda" Yup plus ear protection . Hey Jims got his ear protection on also .😊😊😊

[@johnkomosa9508]

Nice work Jim, i love your Tamarack posts. I have tried to get away with less cuts on the point but the way you do it, i find is best, also love the way you use your steel bar to pilot a hole for the post. I remember watching the old timers do that when i was little and you got it down pat. We used cedar posts and dug holes with a fence post hole digger, which is work as someone commented. Our farm was/is on an old cedar shake mill so we would dig holes and often times come up with alot of sawdust from the old mill, so we had to pound in rocks to tighten up the post. I was the little one so i would fill in the hole and tamp it down and put the big rock down for the corner post to keep the barbed wire tight. We had both barbed wire and electric fence. Nice work, nice logs, and nice horses. The horses are coming along well Jim, i think your in a good place going into winter. Still enjoying your videos after all these episodes. Thank you very Much. Still learning. Reading your comments,, is fun , you must really enjoy the positive energy from your audience. We are so Blessed to be at this place in time. To God the Glory. Thank you also to Brenda, I need to go see Abby, i see her videos pop up and i just smile, she is really something, so inspiring. Liv'n and Lov'n

[@sueupham2519]

excellent,,Lord it all.. we both yelled,,tie Duke to the Machine ! ha and you did anyway....it was funny..but will work all day if ya have to. super straight posts...! yes love the shirt,,and when lady came over to the fence she like was saying." Brenda let me out..😊 all good,,and we hope June will do well ..that breed is so beautiful and our favorite..

[@Deanna-k4i]

Surprised to see t-shirt in November but as always good to see horses at work even if a little over reactivate in woods 😊 ❤

[@denaostrovsky717]

Another wonderful video of family team work. Go Team Brenda and Jim. I can only imagine what Monterous vision Duke has when he looks at the machine.😱 you guys are wonderful. 🫶

[@johnraue5708]

DUKE and Bill of to a good trot this morning.-some good size logs. BILL and Duke understand your logging.

[@charmagne70]

Nice fencing job! June is getting so big!

[@katt1woman]

I got a calendar and they are beautiful!!!! thank you

[@edhoyt5600]

Takes time for Duke to get used to the machine

[@wssides]

I drove willow posts from a stone picking box on a wooden wheeled wagon with a 16 lb maul rainy days the summers I was 15 and 16. The boss taught me to drive the posts instead of pounding them to prevent splitting or mushrooming them. They supported 3 strands of barbed wire to contain cattle. Only electric fences I knew back then were at my grand parents farm. That was powered by a home built charger driven by a 6 volt tractor battery that was kept charged from the 32 volt wind charger system.

[@darltennant6005]

Jim you should get those barnyard bolders out to the road and let Brenda sell them, They would be valuable here!

[@tractordan933]

Skippy has hidden talents, quite the squirrel dog.

[@richardsurber8226]

Thanks Jim for a nice video. You have great training instincts, watching at 9:35 you were talking of Duke's problem with seeing the machine and I just thought what would happen if you tied the good puller the the machine? and the next take you have his lead rope on the boom.

[@debbiebjorklund3241]

Awe. I hated loosing tools. Surveyors tape tied around them saved the day. 😅 I wondered how you knew Duke spooked by the excavator. Wow i loved seeing you in action when Duke and Bill acted up by the excavator.!. Your horses have been blessed w your good nature, Jim!. We have been too.!. The ground level camera location makes me feel at home w the barn activity. Really feeling content. ( P.S. I bought your baseball hat, n ya It's for de beau! 😅). Thanks kids

[@glennwestiii3]

Absolutely amazing! all the various things that you get done. Great video

[@DonaldHuisjen]

That little dog just has a way of being important!!

[@gregholl5011]

Exactly what i was thinking. Tie duke to the excavator if you can get him that close. Let him decide it's not scary. There was a time when they were promoting large hitches for field work. They used halter bridles to save time harnessing. Bit just snapped to halter cheek pieces. 😊.

[@royolstad8532]

I've got a breaker bar just like yours. It's an old railroad "track lining: bar, where a bunch of guys with bars jimmy the long steel rails into place to be spiked down onto the ties. Mine is bent just like yours, too. It's too heavy for me since I got older, so I use an old 6' miining drill. nice and light, and works great.

[@jimborer1524]

Duke seems to really want to pull his share and more.

[@linda97639]

Just a thought on why Duke may view your excavator differently than the others that were at your farm. Your little excavator is enclosed with glass that will reflect the light and even the trees etc and as he moves that reflection will change. That said, he still will need to get used to it. Tying him to it was a good idea.

[@shaunawalsh1259]

Duke is missing his mane!! :D

[@ResistanceChicks777-fw4mb]

PG here, wonderful video. I was just thinking it was time to wean June from Lady. Lady, I'm sure can not wait to get back to work. Don't give up on Ken. At an auction in Indiana in October, only for draft horses. A percheron sold for $165,000.00. They are not horses for me, now that I've been around a lot of them and see their value. I am going to go for the smaller horses. Draft Horse are great for men and extremely strong women though.

[@territn8871]

Wow, $165,000 for a Percheron...that was an expensive horse! They are gorgeous horses though. I sure miss Buck. He and Ken were such a beautiful team!

[@sueboettcher]

That was a show horse. I saw that same video. But wow, that price… Insane.

[@chips4974]

Auctions That percheron was a 4 year old gelding I believe. Someone wanted him for a hitch class at the state fairs I believe . 😊

[@JohnFieldingUSA]

Jim you must have the scariest excavator in NY.

[@RaymondWKing-dn8wf]

Good Job Bill! in pushing this Roudy young Colt classer to the Bugger. Why is He spooked by something He has seen frequently? Is there a Smell, or has there been soothing there, a Deer, Bear, Wolves, Coyotes, Big Foot or something eels we just haven't Discovered or can't see yet?

[@arlysdavis3694]

Good idea to tie Duke to the excavator. As you know, animals want to smell to identify. Thanks for the video. Brings me back to the farm

[@artfulcoyote]

good job, loved the video.

[@lauriewilt2622]

Maybe, to Duke he thinks the escalator looks like a humongous yellow spider that’s gonna get him. Got my Calendar ❤ it Thank you so much

[@robinfarrell5289]

Good boy Duke, you'll get there, sooner rather than later. You sure have done a great job smoothing out those tile lines! Has Jim ever thought of writing a book? Not that he has spare time but maybe later in life? I'd buy it for sure, great video!

[@keatonbeckstead524]

[@harryjansen6789]

Great video, could you put Duke in a small paddock with your excavator with hay near by so he could get use to it on his own terms, just wondering, be safe and be well ,

[@Mary-yu3sn]

LOL i think, i seen Horses, lip sink karmela about Jim's control issue LOL

[@donelookin3386]

Remember that horses can only think with one side of their brain at a time. This means you have to train both sides of the horse. They can be scared of an object on the left but turn them around and they dont see it the same with the right. This also means when you reward a horse you need to reward both sides of the horse, pet both sides. They dont transfer from right brain to left brain and back and forth, its like two separate brains.

[@shyiann23]

[@Navet63]

Why don't you use a regular post hole digger?

[@noreencullen8957]

has Duke had his vision checked? Does he need a ration balancer?

Is one of the horses knocking their shoes together? I changed my mind I think it was their shoe’s hitting rocks

[@Michael-ld2cr]

Are you considering taking other horses to compete in the horse pulls next year?

[@jp22874]

I have a question about your reins. I've noticed a few times now that your reins on the rear of the horses seems to be uncontrolled(for a lack of a better term). It seems like you're constantly having to toss them back up on their backs. Do they make or could you fabricate a large eye that could go on the part of the harness that loops under the tail? Just curious. Love what you guys do thank you!

[@edhoyt5600]

Question: Why did you always say NO after you stop the horses?

[@johnkomosa9508]

Because it is shorter than "stay put!" Ah ha. When you were a little kid and you were going to do something and Dad (or Mom) said.."no" you would freeze, hold still, stop,.. same idea, is my take on it. Hold still.
