JUNE AND BREE - FULL SISTERS... How will they work together?!

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

What a difference a year makes in the growth of 2 great fillies. Bree is so calm and good natured. June at 3 months old did really well for the first time being led together. Your discussion on the horse pulling situation was excellent Jim.

[@mishloud4215]

Bree is huge and beautiful. She also has a calm demeanor. I think they are going to make a magnificent-looking team

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Got that Suffolk Punch rump.She is going to do yeoman work ahead 😊

[@Papaguena]

Beautiful horses! Bree has the head of the Suffolk horse, nice and muscular neck but the color of the Belgian. I'm eager to see what June will look like next August. 🐎

[@sueupham2519]

seeing this again in September,,,they are so cute. Bree is gorgeous!!!

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

The picture of June & Bree side-by-side is amazing. Bree is filling out so nice.😊

[@MarkMunro-y8f]

I really enjoyed thst horse pull. Bill and Barron were perfect. ❤ Brenda made a really good video. I like the way Jim you put the horses well being first before the win.

[@wendyballett7957]

Bree has grown right up!! Beautiful girls, she and Juney are!!

[@johnking8679]

WOW, Brenda !! Love the closing footage of this particular video, showing your horses, totally relaxed and grazing their favourite grass !! Quite peaceful !! 😄

[@patricia.g1651]

Girl Power! Bree and June already make a beautiful team. I think June will be the blonde bombshell and June will be the vivacious brunette, lol

[@ronaldtodd4819]

I think Bree and June will be a beautiful matched pair in a few years. All the horses look wonderful and in great condition.

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

Bree is looking beautiful. Fun to think June will grow up to look like Bree. Like your idea to socialize them together over the next while.

[@lauriewilt2622]

Love seeing the boys so comfy in their stalls :)

[@garycountryman5412]

Thanks for the side by side of Bree and June. What a difference a year makes. Be interesting to see the same thing a year from now when they will be a little closer in size. I know Jim is not one to brag, but would love to see the "Trophy" room of the awards y'alls horses have won at pulling competitions over the years. As always, thanks Jim and Brenda for sharing your lives with us and have a great day.

[@davidblair1495]

Bree is GORGEOUS!

[@jo4275]

Bree is a big girl! Love June's curly baby mane. So is Ken going to be the baby trainer moving forward. He did great with Barron and the boys.

[@joeschwab3194]

Jim your horses are beautiful !!

[@marilynbridges8697]

Bree is so well put together for a yearling! WOW! She looks like a 2 year old!

[@dianestoltz8502]

Thank you for the quiet video at the end 😊

[@jamesgreenawalt9713]

Bree has great markings. I luv the blonde mane and tail.

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

My goodness Bree is grown. How old is Bree now??? June is growing also. Both are beautiful..God bless ..PRAY ON!!!❤️🙏🌹

[@leajohnson8441]

Bree is a year old.

[@neoncatfish4038]

June is 3 months old. Bree is a 1 year and 3 months old!

[@shyiann23]

Brie looks like Lady and June looks like Baron. And they all look beautiful, happy and healthy. 👍👍👍

[@bobrodenkirch]

I’m an old horse guy..was told about this years ago from an old timer. With a young or new horse, take a lawn chair a book a shade tree and grass under the tree and read the book out loud for a 1/2 hr a day the animal will then get to know your calm voice while reading and then gets to start the trust factor.

[@sueupham2519]

ohhhh good information

[@specterman2000]

We're all in suspense waiting to see you turn them into a great team!!!

[@debbievogt9881]

Yep can't wait but it should be a couple years no doubt

[@sueboettcher]

June has her uncle Earl’s curls. The color seems similar so far. Bree looks more like her Mama and June has her daddy’s neck. They should be about as well matched as Duke and Earl. Would be interesting to see pictures of the other foals Baron sired.

[@Nancy-1249B]

I was just thinking what a good start Bree has had. She's got a good peaceful barn spot. And also is a member of a herd and gets to spend herd- learning time out in a beautiful pasture! She's hung out with her uncles, Earl and Duke but lately with the best patriarch/ babysitter of all...Ken! As far as I can see it's a perfect up-bringing.

[@carlapierle8623]

I love hearing horses munching on the grass. Amazing the size difference between one (plus) year old Bree and 3 month old June. June's mane and tail are different from Bree's. June's looks curly, too. I don't remember if Bree's was curly at that age.

[@Hobbs-uu8rz]

Jim and Brenda we love all of your videos and have been avid watchers from the beginning! We have even tried watching other “horse” videos and none compare! Horses, logging, sawmill, horse pulls….love it all. Keep up the great vids. 😁

[@pamelawoodall5891]

I totally agree.

[@sueupham2519]

yes,,we do too..new york

[@CameronClifford-oc3vc]

Bree looks like her mom more than her dad, definitely alot of Belgian in her. Beautiful horse!!!!!!!

[@nonya-hn4lk]

Absolutely beautiful horses, I cannot believe how big Bree has gotten😊

[@ellenneder6094]

Brie is a beautiful horse.Just live her

[@essiewessie69]

They are going to be amazing together as a pair and I hope they remain together lol

[@caroleswain6802]

Lovely to see Baron & Duke or Earl looking so relaxed laying down in the stalls and then leening up against the post.

[@georgerollins707]

Bree is absolutely beautiful and June looks like she is going to be as well.

[@mikeszucs6194]

Wow Jim! I didn’t had a chance to watch your videos lately. When I saw Bree, my jaw just dropped. Beautiful! Both of them! I can’t wait!😮😊

[@stephaniemize321]

Bree is absolutely beautiful and looks like Lady. June looks like Barron with her big muscles and has Barons neck.

[@mfc4591]

I think the sisters will make a matching team and be good at the job...why, because they have good teachers, Bill, Ken and of course Jim. so good to see all the 'lawnmowers' eating the succulent grass together.

[@arlysdavis3694]

Bree flaxen mane is beautiful and Jane looks like she will have more of the Suffolk color. They will be so nice as a team. Amazing what a difference a year’s growth is for animals. Never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for showing them side by side

[@jessicamunda8765]

What a great video. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤

[@BonnieHuntress]

I’ve never seen horses lying down,except when there sick. How relaxed they look.

[@californiadreamer2580]

Where I live, after a cold rainy winter horses will often lay down flat on the hillsides, legs stretched out, to get the full effect of the warming sun. For pastures along Highway 101, this usually results in drivers passing by calling 911to report "dead horses on the hillsides" . In the summer, the same people often call 911 to report the pastured horses being " tortured with blindfolds". Of course the "blindfolds" are fly masks. At one point a giant sign was put up to explain to people driving by what it was they were seeing.😂

[@karenhood6135]

omgoodness i can not beleive how big bree has gotten she is a beauty guess i havent seen her for awhile

[@gaylesmith1738]

I enjoy your q & a time!! Oh boy! It's amazing how Bree has grown in just a year!! She's beautiful! June is like I think of Bree!! I love the stripe of color in Bree's tail. And June's tail is still so cute! They both are so precious!! ❤ Haha!! June must be tired!! Eating while lying down!! I always enjoy your videos! You're good people!! 💕

[@mcrickyd32]

That bree is one beautiful horse.

[@R.a.p.h.a.e.l.a]

Bree is growing up gorgeous! It's so cool to see how two fillies with exactly the same genetics can look so different. It looks like the Belgian genes are dominant in Bree's colouring, whereas June leans more towards the Suffolk side. I can't wait to see whether that changes as she grows up. Either way, I think they'll make a beautiful team.

[@shankarbhattacharjee1943]

Bree is huge and beautiful. She also has a calm demeanor.Beautiful horses

[@reeannarobertson]

They are adorable sisters.

[@debs4573]

That baby is GORGEOUS! Congrats on your breeding program. You have some horses to drool over. ☺

[@clydebobb9506]

Just Beautiful!!! :)

[@richardsurber8226]

The two fillies have similar facial stripes color of Bree has gone to something rather beautiful, with the light of the tail/mane color.

[@fredcota2202]

Jim, there are people that would complain if you hit them aside the head with a brand new hammer. I grew up around work horses on a farm and feel that pulling a stone boat at fair is less stressful than pulling a plow over rough ground or logging across icy ground. Your skills are amazing and I applaud you for sticking to your guns concerning your abilities. Don’t change a thing.

[@janelboehme6686]

I love Bree's color of her mane and tail. She is so pretty.

[@sandyd.2513]

Both Fillies are really gorgeous.

[@victorvictor2065]

That extra excitement of the horse before pulling the load is because they are prepare themself for the amount of labour . Is like reev the engine before a racing ( sorry about the bad language I'm not native )

[@pamelawoodall5891]

That’s okay.

[@hattiemercer5764]

So beautiful both of them ❤

[@cheryls3162]

The fillies are so pretty! Bree looks so much like Lady. June has alot of growing to do before we get a clear picture on what she will end up looking like. ❤

[@deborahhope9094]

Jim I always enjoy your videos with the sawmill. My husband’s family ran a sawmill for many decades. I also don’t think I’ve seen your horses lying down. I guess they are enjoying their day off!

[@bonblue4993]

It was really cool seeing how you cut timber. It is always something that I have wondered about. It was interesting to see that both of the horses' tails are dark brown in the middle and blond on either side. The horses are absolutely vaccuming the grass.! Have a great day!

[@marionberry6909]

Wow! That is one gorgeous pair of fillies.😎😀😀😀😀

[@polarlab113]

Such beautiful animals.keeping in mind that horses are herd animals.they are learning to be a team.I don’t know how well man could have done without horses and dogs.we have and do rely on them for many reasons.

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

I always love when Lady and Bill did the horse pull.

[@ricksmith4736]

I hope you know how wonderful a place you have there on a road with no or very little traffic... Places like this are disappearing in the USA daily....

[@normafollet7156]

What a lovely picture they make out in. The field❤🎉😊👍

[@cherylmillard2067]

I LOVE THE PULLING CONTESTS!! I get excited for them and find myself rooting for Jim's team.

[@bobogilvie4472]

Just the growth in BREE and JUNE is growing so much also It looks to be thatJUNE could be a bit bigger

[@deborahcamarillo7869]

Gorgeous horses! What I used to do, when training foals to lead, was take the lead rope and wrap it around their rear end (while attached to the halter) so that when you pull on it you’re putting pressure on their behind and encourages them to go forward. Hope this helps. 😊

[@cherylmillard2067]

When buying a new horse, I would have an independent vet do radiographs, an overall wellness exam, a lameness checkup and bloodwork, etc., prior to purchasing.

[@canukmrsben]

All such beauties and now so nice to see, Lady not being so protective of June hanging out with her big sister Bree as when first introduced (in an earlier video) .

[@thirzapeevey2395]

Bree is really maturing into a lovely filly. She's got the lovely head and the heavy neck of the Suffolk. I think the two sisters look very similar. It is hard to tell what June's color is going to be, foals often change color several times. I had one that changed color five times in the first two years. I sold her as a yearling because I didn't think she would match her mother, and when I saw her a year later she was a perfect match and I bought her back.

[@sherylbartlett3871]

WOW!! Bree looks gorgeous and grown up next to June. Bree has Lady's white mane & forelock. Little June's mane & forelock. Their tails look the same and their bodies (conformation) look similar, as they should being full sisters June is a "hoot" munching grass while lying. down Anyway, I:ll be curious to see Bree & June side by side in a year from now. I really like the Belgian-Suffolk cross! God bless...😊❤😊

[@edhoyt5600]

Hey Jim That is great to see both of them doing so well walking together out around the barn together

[@randybutler4772]

They both look very good Jim. Bree looks older than her age. Very mature. Hope they will matchup for you. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴

[@elt.214]

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. 🙏

[@mike-wp7xe]

That cross is impressive. They're going to make a heck of a team!

[@tophand9571]

I really enjoyed the voice over on the saw time of what is happening. Thank you

[@moppeliini6614]

Beautiful sisters. I wonder how kind of team they will one day do. Lady's team.🙃😄

[@anncarr4599]

Bree is SO big and little June is just not sure of Bree . I love that dark strip in Brees tail. They are just beautiful

[@farmboy5622]

Loved the sound of them munching on the grass!!!

[@annsaenz291]

Bree has grown up to be a beautiful horse and love her mane color. June is getting bigger too. Did Skippy have a growth spurt as he looks alot bigger too. God bless you Jim and Brenda ❤🙏

[@sherimccormick6168]

Bree and June will ba a good pair someday! They are both beautiful! Re: the question about building with your .horse ...horses trust a kind, patient leader. Asking a horse to move its feet gives you a position of leadership. For example, when leading, stop and ask them to backup.

[@terrifict1035]

So cute those two! Bree has really grown! Of course they will look great together! Love see Ken too! He's such a great horse! Lady, well she seems always grumpy LOL

[@bindardondat5292]

Thanks for the update folks. It's been great following along with these fine equines.

[@territn8871]

I keep meaning to look back at Bree when she was June's age because I've forgotten if Bree's mane was red at the first. If June's mane and tail end up being blonde like Bree's, they will be a matched pair! Bree has that beautiful Suffolk head and beautiful eyes like her dad, and I'd say by this time next year June will have those features too! They are gorgeous fillies! Lady is so beautiful, and Baron so handsome, they couldn't help but have beautiful offspring! Will be interesting to see how much bigger Lady's foal she's carrying will be compared to the two fillies since it will be full Belgian!

[@sueupham2519]

oh its so beautiful to see the work youve done for both; they are so well built and look so much like lady ..it os a joy to see how Bree obeys you jim and im sure little june will turn out just as complete as bree.this experiment has been a blessing to my heart,really has. i do feel they Will Be Perfect Team together...it will surprise us all one day to see them pulling the grass cutters in step...we love ya ❤❤ both ,,keep up the great work. you're a joy..friends, curt and sue

[@TerresaEmmins]

I like the colour,s of both Bree and June.❤😊tc

[@jamescarnes5550]

Gentle giants

[@kccolby7562]

Bri is rounding out beautifully. Thanks Jim and Brenda!

[@debbarrett9865]

Bree is beauitful filly June is cute as can be. Loved seeing them togather thanks Jim and Brenda. I love Brees colors the blond mane and tail .I hope June will have Barron colours I think that willmake them look stunning togather. Thanks again

[@mariannegoudswaard3996]

They r both gorgeous, looks like 1 flaxen mane and one red. They r a credit to you and their sire and dam.❤

[@DiZimmer]

Bree is grown soooo much She’s got a lovely demeanour June is sweet but more of a spit fire Love seeing them together

[@williamleopold507]

Beautiful young colts .

[@JChaos1120]

Bree looks like her mom! Wow! I don't think they'll be as tall, maybe only Baron's height. He looked soo cute laying down!! June does look like she'll be darker than Bree, colored more like her father. Looking forward to Lady's third!

[@sueflynn9886]

Brew is looking amazing! Sweet pair of fillies!

[@robinfarrell5289]

Baron was cute in the single pull, the crow hopping was comical. He'll learn fast, such a good guy. Bree and Juney are beautiful, will you be keeping them both? There is no sweeter sound than that of horses grazing happily.

[@russlong7175]

I think Its impossible to tell at this point whether or not they will be a match. All i know from t he last 3 years of watching is that Jim will make good decisions on these horses.

[@CarolynNorman-kf8fu]

Bree is a beauty. I love the dark on her haunches

[@chrismills4213]

Just love the sawmill….takes me back to my childhood days. The family used to run a rotary blade…42 inches in diameter I think…mill. Just loved working there. God bless.

[@andreacollins9884]

Bree is beautiful... She looks like her mother

[@jemreandeau3583]

Wonderful video,the horses are amazing and I love the sawmill. ❤❤❤

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Rewatch better than ever.

[@suzanneyoung8011]

Thanks for showing the outdoor water trough. I've often wondered where the horses drank from when they're outside. Thought maybe there was a creek available to them. The two fillies will be close enough as a matched pair. The main difference is that June appears to have a chestnut colored mane like her two uncles, whereas Bree has the flaxen mane and tail like Baron and Lady. June still has her foal coat but I wouldn't expect that chestnut red mane to change much. Her overall body color may end up being a darker chestnut than Bree's is also.

[@r.f.richardsonjr5691]

Looks like the boys are taking a relaxing moment LOL😆
