It's Time To Weigh Up The Horses!

[@Dick49311]

This is one great horseman. Of all the draft horse videos I’ve watched on KZbin this guy is number one. After you watch a few of his videos, I’m sure you’ll agree.

[@jamessparks8325]

First thing my dad and uncle would do to new horses. Roach that mane.

[@nwoutdoortv8351]

You have an amazing horses, i wish i can have at list a couple, but watching your videos, makes me like im back in my young days,i was group up in Ukraine, and i was all ways love horses.You are great, just make more good videos.Thank you.

[@davidmunro1469]

Thank you Jim Lady is in wonderful condition.

[@chrism1164]

Brtenda's in a silly mood! Happy dance. : )

[@cindyspire9973]

Loved Brenda's antics, nice to see a well thought out process!

[@johnkomosa4089]

Ha ha, silly funny, the horses are so heavy, weigh as much as our moose in Alaska and Ken takes the Prize! Wow, almost 2k, almost a Ton..Wow! No wonder they can pull so much, and....thats muscle, not couch fat. So impressive. .. Looking forward to watching the pulls.. Thanks, and thanks for the laugh, and the beautiful mains picture from yrs past, now they got their military haircuts, ah ha. I am working my way through the videos, maybe I am a half way through, I should be caught up by the Easter Bunny. Lovin it.. I hate to even think of getting a foot under those steel horse shoes, that would be a bad day. Very cool video.. Thanks..

[@hejnye]

It was a rainy cold off and on April in Ohio also, you have a nice cozy barn

[@EvansBrosRacing]

I notice lady stands with 1 foot down on the lower floor when she is in her stall , must be her most comfortable position .

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, she seems to enjoy that position

[@sueflynn9886]

Loved Brenda’s antics between horses! 💖💕🇬🇧

[@jamesmckay9966]

Mrs Jim, You have a beautiful voice! Nice video.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Thank you kindly!

[@cazzateish]

very well kept, I could not understand how much they weigh thanks

[@goldshieldenterprises692]

I must say for someone that lives in a large urban area I am jealous of your simple life on the land. I retire in 3 years and I hope to take up a simpler lifestyle such as yours.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Your horses are really well mattered. Brenda its nice to see you in front of the camera like that. Good to see who in charge. Lol and your little showing off camera time..

[@elizabeththequeen943]

I trim my draft horse's mane but not her forelock because she uses it to keep the flies out of her eyes. I'm just wondering how you do that in the summer. Beautiful, beautiful horses you have.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Elizabeth the Queen flies don’t seem to bother their eyes to much. We have mostly deer flies and horse flies.

[@br927]

Just watched this! HA HA, my Dad cut the neighbor boys hair with the cow clippers- My Mom use to cut his hair for .50 cents, and his Mother always complained about it, so he came down for a hair cut and my Mom wouldn't do it, so Dad says to me- go to the barn and get the cow clippers, so I did- Dad ask him what kind did he want, and he said a buzz! Off it came, he was as happy as can be and gave my Dad the .50 cents, and my Dad gave it back to him and sent him home- His mother never sent him down again!! Brenda, you crack me up!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Haha, funny story

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

One more question? Have i missed the pull or is it comeing up yet? Hope i didnt miss it?

[@murrayblake9853]

Great. Little dance

[@MrVailtown]

Brenda's antics were /remind me of a daughter doing her moves without Dad watching/seeing. Does the hollow sound of the scale spook em some ?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Girls gotta have fun! They get used to the scales

[@MrVailtown]

Working Horses With Jim Looked like good exercise for ya Brenda 😇🙊🙈🙉

[@2snowgirl520]

Can we see their pasture some time?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

We will try to show some soon, thanks for the suggestion

[@donelookin3386]

That Ken is a nice looking horse

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes he is

[@billyangelapressley]

What's the purpose of trimming it?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Personal preference and the collar seems to fit better with less hair under it.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

If you hadn't clipped the manes and brushed the dirt out, the horses would have been heavier.(: Mine are much heavier, but then they do not even do a tenth of the work yours do, and they are bigger. It's great to see that everybody is in fantastic shape, especially Brenda (did I get the name right?)

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Klaus Karbaumer yes it is Brenda, and she does stay in great shape.

[@rogermorel2888]

[@jamesmorgan1024]

[@hejnye]

[@ozorone]

Jim's horses are looked after like babies ...

[@tfholzemer]

Good girl lady!

[@phillipharry8122]

Brenda you should have been in vaudeville!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

:)

[@kennydean4512]

Jim, the horse pulls I've seen at the country fairs, I don't know that much about it, but it seems like the horses are a little anxious to go and as soon as they hear that clink noise of them being hitched to the sledge, they really dig in and take off, a couple of times the guy misses getting them hitched to the sledge and they have to line them back up at the sledge again, I'm not sure if that's a little like animal abuse because of what they are expected to pull, but I could be wrong. Like I said, i do love horses.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

The horses truly get excited at horse pulls!

[@jamesmckay9966]

Your Wife is adorable.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes she is

[@robertdonaldson6584]

Duke the carriage horse, 16 hands ,weighed 1,150 lbs. but 1,100 lbs. is better than more for a good traveler.

[@hejnye]

shedding blade

[@johnmccrank7170]

Why do you clip the mane? I can understand the feathers as they would pick up mud . What kind of horses are they? In Scotland our heavy draught horses are Clydesdales and we don't take mane off we pluck the tail to keep it short and tidy the feathers but we don't clip them either.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

John McCrank I think the horses are easier to take care of with their manes cut. With their collars on I think it’s easier on their necks.

[@johnwinden8511]

Do your horse ever get to spend time in the pasture? Such beautiful animals.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

John Winden , during the summer they go out to pasture at night

[@cristobalpacheco4202]

They never get spooked and kick? Thanks

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

cristobal pacheco once in awhile, always have to be cautious.

[@annahorinova558]

Hey. Cool video. Sorry, I don’t understand what you are talking about. I'm from Ukraine. How much do your horses weigh?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

ANNA HORINOVA the blacks weigh 3675(1670kg). The Belgians weigh 3260(1450kg)

[@thatonedog819]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim that's a world record horse then

[@Karosing30]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim I think you mean 1,670 and 1,450 POUNDS. In kg's that would be well over 3600lbs xD The heaviest horse ever recorded was 21.2hh and 3,360lbs!

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

The weights are for the 2 team weights, not individual weights

[@johnkomosa4089]

Aaah ha ha

[@wretube]

What about the bugs?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

wayne eddy what bugs are you talking about?

[@wretube]

Working Horses With Jim sorryJim,I mean black flies ,horse flies ,deer flies etc. Does the mane not help protect from them?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

wayne eddy I will put on fly spray when needed. I hope to talk about that in a future video

[@kennydean4512]

Lol Jim, looks like the horses like being groomed

[@gregoryjones9557]

Got the impression that the lady doesn't have much to do with the horses she seems uncomfortable

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Bit more to do when servicing the horses than a tractor.

[@lizhaydon2250]

I'm sorry. Why cut the mane all off? I can't watch this. It's something my grandfather was against.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Liz Haydon You don’t have to apologize, everyone has their own preferences.

[@hejnye]

Don't you know it's not polite to ask a Lady here weight?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]
