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!!!

[@katherinepoletto7875]

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!

[@romel1088]

Reminds me of my grandfather. He owned a dairy his entire working life and never owned a tractor. I remember him winning the pulling contest at the fair one year as he had the only team there was worked every day. Blacky and Bubb. Other teamsters were out there yelling and snapping crops etc to get their horses to pull hard. Grampie (as we called him)hooked up the horses to the sled and then went around in front of them. Kissed each on the nose and stepped a back about four feet in front of them. He started making kissing noises and those two tried so hard to get to him because they loved him so much they pulled the sled all the way to the end. It was one of those sleds that shifts the weight so it gets heavier to the horses as it pulls. Hands down winner for time and distance. Great memory. Jim seems to have that great gentle nature with the horses too.

[@baitammo4652]

Just came across this video again and had to watch it once more! Still one of my favorites!!! You all did great and was a pleasure to watch again!

[@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😊

[@johnraue5708]

1951 we were plowing a field with a JOHN Deere, my brother Harry was driving, I sat beside him with my arm behind Harry- suddenly BANG. Plow hit a rock the plow jumped up between my hands and hit the back of the seat. NO damage but it could have chopped my hand off. We never dug the rock out. Great words you have as commands they understand so well after 10 years. Cute that Brent keeps her ladies recognized from the boys. John

[@kimcwhite6509]

Jim, I applaud you for trying! You are always calm and think things through. I'm so glad they listen to you! They really are a beautiful team and your years of experience helped. I hope people remember how much horses helped before tractors!

You are literally my favourite channel on KZbin. I love this! I hope you don’t get negative comments about this video! If those horses were humans, they would be screaming and high fiving each other!

The skill is dying as we lose more and more of the old timers that lived this work all their lives!! Congratulations

I watched the piece you did on moving the huge bolder out of the field. I thought it was great!! I worked around heavy equipment. Huge dozers backhoes and tractors. But none of it impressed me as much as the four beautiful horses did on that job. I have to say I have always loved horses. The ones you have are magnificent!! God’s blessings Happy Easter Robert

[@theoldprof7261]

Loved watching these horses struggle and adapt to a new experience and how you put the more experienced horses beside the less experienced. They adopted quite well and quickly after a bad start and were working beautifully together by the end. They are beautiful animals.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you so much!

[@twistedpixel2558]

There are still mule team logging outfits around. In the mountains out west, across Appalachia in the hills and hollers, Missouri, Arkansas, they're around. Mules can log out an entire woods without tearing up the land. Same goes after storms. Plenty of land owners prefer the mules to come in and drag out the downed timber to regular logging equipment. Mules can get places vehicles can't, and they don't rut up the land and destroy roads and topsoil the way log skidders, trucks, tractors, and other equipment does when the ground is soaking wet.

[@waynehigden]

I hope everybody had extra treat given to each of them for doing an outstanding job teamed up different to what they are used to doing. Thank you for sharing a great moment for them. Look forward to watching another great time for them.

[@jimcour291]

Great horsemanship!! The key, I think, is when the horses work WITH the driver, not just the driver working the horses. That to me, is what you show us all Jim, every video. Your care for the team and how you prepare them, take your time with them, consider what it is THEY NEED not just what you need from them. BRAVO

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!

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.

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.

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.

The will of all four was there. Jim asked and they pulled great job all round to JIm for his caring of his horses first.

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

Awesome. Beautiful to see the good old days. My husband estimate that rock to be in the range of 7-8000 lbs

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.

Thanks and thanks for watching.

Good point. Yep

Wow! This wins the gold medal of Olympic pulling. Impressive work and a joy to watch. Thanks! Cheers from Ontario.

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.

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

From the UK excellent video from start to finish. Your patience and skill combined with the trust and strength of the horses, equals job done. Working horses are like working dogs continual motivation at what they do best pays off Have found your channel quite by chance will view all the videos and keep up to date as time goes on

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's because of these beautiful beasts that we have any farm ground in Ohio. They didn't have big machines back then that we do today. Absolutely beautiful team!
