That was some of the very very best horsemanship I have seen in years. Your quiet, firm and steady treatment of your team was wonderful to watch. Despite a wreck you kept calm outside and didn't worry your team. No slapping, or shouting, just asking them. I just loved it. My Dad worked horses and he would have enjoyed this very much!!!

Oh Fiona believe me those horses are no different then hacks.they know BEFORE the man does.bless them.

[@donelookin3386]

My grandfather worked his team in the Train yard in the winter, he had the only team that could start box cars and move them alone, they had to use four horses most of the time. Gramps had big Belgian mares and they would hang in the harness and lean into it until it began to move. That team would do anything for him and he would never allow anyone else to work them.

[@elizabethrogers1152]

I bet that was AMAZING to see!

[@georgeleibert3614]

I spent my summers on a farm in Nebraska where we farmed with draft horses back in the late 50's & early 60's.. I have a lot of time driving a team. Great to see these teams doing this. I knew from the beginning they would not have a problem with pulling this stone. Didn't think about one not being as trained as the others. I'm 78 & my team driving was when I was 14 or 15. Still love to watch a team doing 'their thing'!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching and sharing your memories!

[@teresahiggs4896]

Yep, I grew up on a small farm in East Tennessee. My dad would take a team of mules into peoples gardens that were on steep hillsides ( no rototillers) to earn a little money . I’d tag along , I loved being around my dad and the teams. My dad would plough, disk , whatever needed doing. But working a team of mules is different than working horses.

[@nancyreitz5191]

I love mules😊

[@jimputnam2044]

As my dad used to say, The horses earned there oats today. They actually like to pull like that. You go to a horse pull and you see them just excited and get down low and just give it there all. Good job today Jim.

Jim, opinions are like bellybuttons----everyone has one. I'm very happy that neither you nor the horses were injured in the mishap. You persevered and found a better solution wrt the horse arrangement and it was amazing to see all of that power put to the ground. Once on the grass, the stone boat pulled much easier and the horses truly looked magnificent. Brenda also did a fantastic job videoing the action as well as running to the barn and back to help you with the task as hand. Riding her bike and running the camera at the same time was really awesome. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

Haha, that's a good(and true) saying! I really did pull a lot easier on the grass. Thanks for your comments and for watching our channel

[@paulhuffey2015]

Great video! Besides the drama of moving the huge rock (that kept us all on the edge off our seats) I found three things very enjoyable in this video. First was the sound of the horses walking through the tall grass. What a beautiful sound. I also enjoyed listening to the horses breathing at the end of the pull. When do you get to experience the heavy breathing of gentle giants? And the third great thing I enjoyed was Jim riding the rock. When will you ever see that again. This video to me was “award quality!” I feel fortunate to have found your Chanel. Keep up the good work. You guys are a KZbin gold mine

I always felt that the true impeccability of a teamster is the amount of heart and trust a horse is willing to give. These horses are all heart. Thanks Jim, it’s times like this I miss my dad and being always in awe of the partnership he had with his team. By the way, the Clydes were our baby sitters in the barn while dad did chores lol. He’d sit us little kids up on top of the horses in their stalls, and he could see us from the milking row of cows. When we were old enough to learn to shimmy down , hanging off manes, he knew we were old enough to do some chores. Great life. Thanks Jim and Brenda.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for sharing the memories!

[@Peter-gi3re]

What a beautiful team of horses. It’s fascinating how they try to cooperate with you when hitching up by lifting and moving their hoofs. You could see that you were genuinely upset when the horses had trouble and the last thing you would want is to cause them any hurt or harm .... so don’t pay too much heed to any negative comments. Huge shoutout to Brenda ...... that lady truly loves you to go running back and forth to the farm and try help you any way she can. For what it’s worth, I think one thing that made it harder to pull was that the stone sled was too small a footprint. In other words, I think it might have moved easier if you had a bigger platform/sled with the load spread over a bigger area. Same way as in heavy trucking they use a longer trailer with more axles to distribute the load over a bigger area and lower the weight concentrated on each point of contact with the road. I am also surprised that the mini excavator would not have the pulling power to drag the sled too. Probably has the power but the tracks slip too much on the loose soil. Maybe next time try hook the excavator and the skid steer both to the sled and pull. In any case, congratulations on a great video and hope you never have to pull such a crazy load again.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for your insights. Yes, that might've been easier with a bigger platform. I was expecting that the excavator could pull it out, but had to rely on the horses.

BJ Brown Actually the hitch is called four abreast. 4 in hand is 2 pair with 1 pair in front of the other pair. Some people may call that a pair tandem. Didn't Jim look great up there looking like something out of "Ben Hur"??? Now in a few years when the "Duke of Earl Pair" get involved they can move that boulder out by the road and use that flat face for a bill board or whatever.

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

You're in a situation like when I get my 32 HP JD Compact tractor stuck. I hate to call the neighbor with the bigger tractor but I have to. Some years ago I kept hitting a rock while mowing trails with my brush hog. I tried digging it out with my front end loader. It was at the base of a glacial drumlin. I dug down as far as I could and gave up without finding the bottom. I realized I could never pull it out with my tractor. Now I just go around it. You probably need a bulldozer. I'd sell that boulder to a horse pulling contest as long as they come and get it.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

They'd have to bring something to load it, cause I surely can't load it!

Jim, I have just watched this video again. Man and beast working in harmony. You must put pen to paper and share your knowledge of draft horses, logging and horse drawn farm machinery. You have an easy way with expressing your thoughts, and your knowledge is unique and important.

[@erikatowle8695]

I agree!!!

[@clarencehaws3811]

My favorite part of the whole video is Brenda on her bike. She is so talented to be able to make this video happen.😂😂😂 Every time I watch videos I am just totally impressed with your horses this four-horse pool was amazing. I hope you gave them extra apples to.

[@mervjb809]

That was beautiful to watch, but understandably nervous for you, and the horses. Once you got through that initial train wreck, they pulled very good. That was a great visual, with the blacks on the outside and the Belgians in the middle. The switcheroo seemed to work. Nice job!!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, it went well with the switch up

[@mikecorrado4971]

I was sweating with you on this one Jim! A real challenge that both you and the horses were up to! Thanks for another great video! 👍🏼

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, it was a challenge for all! Thanks for watching

[@Weeg69]

OMG, I forgot to breathe! That was so exciting and I so nervous for all of you, great job Jim and Brenda! I trust your judgment and nobody got hurt, thank you Almighty God!🙏 Jim, you're gonna give me a coronary! 😂😂😂 Take care and we continue to pray for you.😅👋

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Well thank you very much! Please don't have a coronary! :)

[@Weeg69]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Wow! You guys work so hard! A lot of folks wouldn't last one day in your shoes? Much respect, Sir. 👍🏼🌺

[@scruffy6151]

It takes a great team of horse to do this work and a man of equal mind power to be able to over come mishaps on the spot. Brenda did well also staying calm on the outside in a stressful time. Well done by all. 👍👍👍

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

It was a stressful time, but we made it through. Thanks for watching Scruffy!

[@mec4703]

I worked with a pair of Belgum's in the woods when I was a young man and really miss it at times, nothing like a good team pulling together.

[@fbh31118]

Excellent job Jim! That is an amazing task for those horses. Really highlights your experience and your teams conditioning. Wow! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks 👍 and thanks for watching

Here but but by the grace of God go I. Four hard working and dedicated horses.

[@dannyboy7086]

amen to that

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Excellent job fantastic. Great diving Jim. All 4 horses earned their oats today.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes they did

[@marthav2772]

God Bless those beautiful, strong drafts!💕💕 Glad it all worked out and nobody got hurt!!!👍

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you!

[@lonniebroyles5785]

Job well done Jim & Brenda! You are horseman's, the thought and care that you showed in this feat was great. Thanks for sharing and God Bless you and the horses.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, and God bless you as well

[@henrydeyoung7689]

That was one of the most interesting videos you have ever posted! What an example of the work you have put into knowing each of your horses. Your superb horsemanship shows not when things always go as planned but when things don’t go perfectly and you have to figure it out. I dealt you could’ve done what you did with those 4 horses if you did not have several years of experience with them.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks and thanks for watching.

[@johnkomosa4089]

Good point. Yep

[@foxyember]

Love seeing horses do what they were bred to do for hundreds of years. They totally kicked the modern equipment's butt that day.
