Gotta Protect That Outhouse!!! / More Big Pine / Draft Horse Logging

[@donaldvogtsberger1105]

With a careful step, a gee, a haw, and a whoa, a man and his horses get the job done. Great video. Very serene and peaceful.

[@BoxMountainLLC]

WOW!!! POWER OF THE DRAFT!! Your precious horses are incredible!! The solid communication and trust is clear!!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you so much!

[@johnking8679]

Amen, to that !!

[@beckysmith9737]

I enjoy watching your videos with my 87 year old dad. They bring him great memories of his childhood. ❤

[@sheilasmith1109]

I don't think most people understand the SKILL it takes to guide a couple of horses, hitched to a cart, hauling a gigantic tree! I am so impressed because your path is SO narrow and curves! So MANY obstacles! DANGEROUS! You and your team are fantastic, Jim!

[@riumudamc4686]

These videos are absolutely beautiful. They nearly bring tears to my eyes. Thank you!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

You are so welcome!

[@kylebond1884]

I have for the most part been silent on your videos and I must say those horse are awesome to watch.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Glad you like them!

[@carolgay8230]

My grandfather had a logging camp in northern Maine. Mom said 80 men, 80 horses. I was only 5 and only visited a few times. Our neighbor in southern Maine hauled pulp and let me drive his single Belgian Mike down to his woodlot every week. He’d let me off and I’ d meet him an hour later to drive back to the main road with his load of pulpwood. The cold weather, smell of fresh cut wood and sweat off Mike made a lasting impression on my memory 60 years later. Your team and your intuition on how to bring the logs out is so impressive. You’re all so good together!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for sharing the memories, somethings we just don't forget! Thanks for watching!

[@SparkeyDogfish]

Wow! Fantastic video. It put me right there with you and the horses. I “felt” the environment. Quite with the snow. The sounds of the horses, the rigging, the chains and your commands. How the animals obeyed your commands. And best of all how powerful the horses are. Thanks for that. A bit of history brought to life.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patricialong5767]

Such magnificent animals, so smart and well trained!

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

Many studies such as the blanket study suggest horses are up there with dolphins and whales in terms of intelligence. We simply dont study them enough. The white Shire mare on my video has surprised me several times already. She has even corrected another herd member that did not obey me correctly. She can tell horse trailer from other closed trailers of same size. Even trailers she's never seen before. So yes, we have A LOT left to study about them.

[@debbylou5729]

My dad grew up in Quebec and his family were loggers on really big operations. He knew these men and worked with them. He said they were the toughest meanest men he had ever seen. When they were given the news that they would be using machines in stead of horses every one of those mean, tough men cried. I think the switch took place in a week and everyday they cried

My goodness, the patience of you and the magnificent horses. Training must take years! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching!

[@biddydibdab9180]

Wow! Bill and Lady could be renamed Precision and Power. What an impressive pair.

[@johnking8679]

Good one, Buddy !!

[@ronnietaylor2488]

Horses are very strong and very well mannered God job horses and Jim job well done

[@smity7096]

I wish my dad could have watched you on KZbin. He loved his work horses. He died in 2018 at 91yo. He worked every day until about 3 months before he died. Thanks for sharing your horses.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching

[@abc-pn6yi]

I love that they are so well trained and they have a job to do and they are great at doing that job.. 2hp is all you need.. lol

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

thanks for watching

[@timmylacoss8941]

Man, that brings back memories of logging with my father and his horses

[@chrisgalvin6703]

I am amazed how precise you can get those horses to move you into position it’s beautiful to watch

[@amulyamangaraj4344]

[@harveypyke4897]

Lady and Bill are always willing to pull their hearts out for you, great team.

[@tommyjohnson6961]

There is a lot to be said about the amount of trust your horses have that you will not put them in a bad situation and get them hurt. I have always believed that a large portion of training has to do with making friends with your animals an building the trust between you and them. Another great video and thanks for sharing with us.

[@a.f.9730]

Tolles Video.Sehr gutes Verständnis zwischen Farmer und Pferde.

[@Basslightning666]

My Grandfather used to do this method, and I used to do it with the Amish people in Cambridge, NY... I was just a Faller though, the boss man ran the horses...lol I still love this horse Logging...

[@claudedesnoyers8545]

Jim , you are the king of the forest and your horses are your angels.

[@JEL66]

Thank you so much I love watching these videos of you and your trusty horse crew at work. I'm thankful your daughter turned me on to see your channel 🥰👍 Sending love and support from Florida 🌺💫💫💫

[@glorialewis2093]

I had horses as a kid, we had riding horses, My grandpa when he had his saw mill had Percherons as a team, I think that he had 3 teams, but as all the boys left the homestead he sold the sawmill and horses and moved to a small town, called Ephrata, Washington , he bought a house and lived there until he passed away

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good job those two are well trained that's the way my dad did all his lumbering with the horses and the last few years he used the tractor some wouldn't have a skidder on his land thanks for sharing take care

[@petermcfarlane7405]

Beautiful horses Jim ,a real pleasure to watch,cheers buddy

[@donaldshields2483]

Very good job you really know what you do in the woods thanks for all the videos

[@bruce1816]

Jim, great video. It's just simply amazing how those two anticipate your mild voice. They love to pull. Thanks, it's a pleasure to watch.

[@ronlittle5099]

I honestly love your channel and I love your beautiful horses. A love of animals passed on to me from my dear dad. Keep the videos coming!

[@johnwarren3037]

It's good to see theses big horses in action

[@kevinbwillson4161]

These working buddies of yours are wonderfully trained ever so helpful an mighty Strong Thanks for sharing

[@johnkomosa4089]

Reminded me of that 33"pine, great cradle hitch, it rides up high. Not high enough to hop that big dead fall though, that was a good sized hurdle, nice to see that cant hook used as I just mounted handles on 2 peaveys, one is the old ring style and one is the pike peavey style, I look forward to using them more as I worked my whole life without them, now I have 2. I have a pickarune but mostly I have just used my ax and feet but those days are over. As my strength not what it used to be, relying more on tools and Man that is a big log , they pull it nicely and make it look easy. Thanks for recording the cant hook work also. (Those big tires hop over that stump nicely..) Carry On.., 'step up'

[@johnking8679]

Apart from Jim's Hemet, the chai saw and the wedges, you would think this is a black & white video !! Beautiful environment where you're working Jim !! Lady, literally "chomping at the bit" to get 'er done !! They are certainly very strong 🐎 horses !!

[@johnking8679]

"Jim's helmet !! - Darn "Autocorrect " isn't always correct !!

[@barbara1407]

Incredibly well trained horses - obviously happy in their work. Good to see.

[@gailgaddy5340]

Oh my gosh getting by the log in the trail was heart stopping. Good job whew 😮 ❤ thanks for the video😊

[@DWS1435]

The horse love to watch him work !

[@bobjordan2552]

It’s unbelievable the pulling power these horses have.

[@ernestcoombejr.3047]

I worry about the so-called experts who think by making the back cut downward at a 45 degree angle the tree can't fall backward, I always hope it doesn't cost their lives to learn the lesson. It is a pleasure to watch a true professional.

[@sueupham2519]

Amazing,,we love this pair,,,we laughed at Lady mincing a lot while waiting..great to see again.. thanks

[@georgesherman5345]

It's interesting how they lean forward to feel the weight of the hitch, then it's get out of the way we're goin' out. I love these horses. They are very intelligent, also.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, they do know what's going on.

[@stevepage4948]

Yes...the trust snd the calm and gentle way uou treat them builds that trust

[@jamesmartin9921]

You made some comments on another video concerning loggers and forester. Great comments. I was a forestry technician for a great number of years in northern new york. Your comments are dead on. Thanks for your insights. I also was a horse logger for a period of time. It is a great profession. I too also loved it. I am presently in Colorado but will be returning to New York State in the next couple years. Thank you.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, hope you are enjoying what you are doing now as well

[@bobstewart4342]

I know little to nothing about workhorses and find this fascinating!

[@garyfeltus9801]

Love the way those two pull. Amazing what they can pull. Great video.

[@gastoncannon4710]

Awesome work, Jim. Saved the outhouse and didn’t get hurt on that log in the trail, call that a win-win, for you and the horses. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️💙💚💜💗

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

Jim, when you feed the horses, tell them a horse lover/owner in Alabama says Happy New Year, stay healthy, love to see you all again.

[@rcote1234]

Wow, please keep these,videos coming. I know they are a lot work, and I thank you. Next best thing to being there.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, will do! Appreciate your encouragement

[@rcote1234]

We live in Washington County, and love to go to the fair to see the draft team demonstrations. Seeing them here in real world is fascinating. And your not tearing up the terrain like the skidder operations do.

[@dalebraun5497]

I'm always amazed in watching your horses anticipating the pull. It's like a starter gun going off when you give them the go-ahead.

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

I am similarly amazed. What amazes me more, is how much these horses enjoy pulling such heavy loads.

[@raymondcarpenter3905]

I love it when we are in the driver's seat with you, it's a childhood dream come true.

[@tresfingeros]

Such gentlence in a big package of power. and they enjoy going out and showing off that power too ☺️

[@annebartz9175]

Hi OMG Bill an Lady are some strong horses. I can't believe they could pull that thanks for great video

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

You bet

[@susanbrown2909]

Your a master horseman Jim....not to mention them beautiful Suffolk punches. I don’t live that far from wheres this magnificent breed originate from.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks Susan!

Great horsepower Jim, training is a credit to you 🐎🐴🐎🐴

[@JayNguyen-qd7fk]

I like your horses..they seem quite pleasant , ready and willing...two different breeds..but both are well trained...and heed you well...

[@steveadams99708]

That is a large log! Well done. Amazing the way those horses take off with that much weight.

[@brentbackus7236]

Great stuff Jim! Having grown up in upstate NY and spending a ton of time in the woods, I loving watching to reflect on memories.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Glad you enjoy it

[@DWS1435]

Smart and well trained. Fabulous animals horses are.

[@sueupham2519]

Good to see again... sure miss it...

[@charleshansen8558]

Very interesting watching the horses work. My dad started working in the woods in North Idaho about 1923, first as a helper in the lumber camp and later he bought a Model T Ford and added a rack to haul logs. With the trailer he could haul 12 foot logs till they got high enough to clear the cab and then he hauled 16 foot logs. All the part in the woods was done by horses including loading the truck as they did not use stakes on the trucks then, just chains to hold the logs on the truck and trailer.

[@FITZIEBLUE]

Ain't that Sweet! The original Four-Wheel Drive. Nicely done.

[@dannyboy7086]

that was beautiful to watch.. way to go

[@PumpkinVillage]

That was a nice display of horsepower. Thanks for the video. Take care, Al

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks, you too!

i had to play 15:10 back in 0.5x speed because it needed to be appreciated longer~ great team work and fantastic horses you have!

Thanks

What magnificent animals you get to work with.

[@johnmutton799]

Honest work. Would rather use horse's than machinery, any day. Well done. And great horse's!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks

[@chipwoods8323]

I love your videos. As a kid in Vermont we did maple sugaring with horses. Your horses are better behaved and trained. Good work!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching

[@nelliebriggs3390]

Barney is beautiful. I was thinking of Sunshine for a name not sure why other than his coat reminds me of a ray of sunlight falling on him.

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Jim you are working the camera beautifully grabbing all the different trial shots. 1set of scene shots took about 4 different spots. The horses must be familiar with your stop and starting all the time. Anyway you certainly captured the the trail scene very well. I hope viewers can see the extra yards and extra time you put into your videos. Actually as I remember in my early days going out bush to cut down trees to split into fence post we had to clear the bush away to get to trees because there was no tractor or dozer to clear a track to the trees. You video took me back to those days instantly. Where hard yards too! Cheers for a great video. The only difference is you have snow but we don’t have snow in winter

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

I think the horses love it the days that I am shooting a video because they get to rest more while I am dubbing with the camera. Where do you live?

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Boy they listen good don't they. and trust you a lot too! works both ways and it shows. nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks 👍

[@d.g.n9392]

Watching in 2022, truly enjoying your videos and explaining the process. Truly an art and technique to your trade.

[@annahorinova558]

Hi Jim. I I'm amazed at the strength of your horses

[@stevepage4948]

That one piece of deadfall you moved first with the cant hook would make a great start to a boat

[@cheyennejt]

Hard work I can see, but good team work and a very cool perspective that is something I've never seen. I have many hours on the back of horses in the woods. Only got to ride behind a draft team , one time bringing Santa a d Mrs. Clause to the mall. Then taking customers for rides , as the assistant .

[@rickyhayes8206]

I love to watch you work those well broke/trained horses. Years ago we would work our riding horses to wagon. Sometimes it did not go well, never like one of your days working your horses. You work yours in one day more than we did all added together probably

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching!

[@danamelby4090]

Thank you for sharing! Your videos of you logging reminds me of my grandpa he logged with his horses also! They lived in Wisconsin a out a half hr from rhinelander he worked on shore lines on pelican lake people didnt want heavy equipment tearing everything up! Love your horses and videos thanks for sharing appreciate your time

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thanks for watching!

[@tommatin2021]

Absoloutly beautiful to watch. 💙

[@ericlakota6512]

One hell of a team great footage that is one bad lady look at her give all and in you so soft spoken almost like father speking to his kids and its like they love to work for you no wips and screeming .

[@husqvarna545markii9]

Hey Jim. How are all the working horse's doing? I'm gonna ride again at my local horse stable. I'm hoping to ride a Gypsy Horse named Storm. I rode him last year & he had a bit of energy, he didn't talk off on me. i just didn't give a enough rain brake :) Is this firewood? Jim. Later

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

I absolutely love this approach to timber harvesting. Where did this take place? We were denied access in Wisconsin by a skid steer. So we came back the next day with our buddies wife’s two Clydesdales and an Amish forwarder. That was work dragging those white oak saw logs out. But oh so worth it. I am moving back to Vermont this summer and will need logs for my timber frame. So I am already sniffing about for logging opportunities. First on the list is my new home so getting a pair of draft horses will need to wait.

[@marlinkojak9882]

love to be their in person to watch this operation it is very enjoyable

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you!

[@canvids1]

Wow what you do with your horses are something great and how they respond to you what ever you want them to do is amazing. Would love to know what your horses are thinking and how they like you if maybe one time you could put that in a video. thanks.

[@Peter-gi3re]

Hi Jim, I am amazed that the team does not rip some of the harness apart or that your little “chariot” does not break up. You are like Ben Hur taking off in a race 😀
