My Wife is Helping to Cultivate the Garden!! // A Lesson with June

Today my wife is helping to cultivate the garden! We are using Ken, our Percheron draft horse, to clean out the weeds in the garden. After that, we are doing a daily lesson with June, our new Belgian/Suffolk Punch filly.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

I have to laugh at Brenda telling Ken, "I hope I'm not too heavy" He is used to toting far heavier weights than you. He'll be fine! In fact, I doubt he will even know you're up there. lol

[@pamelawoodall5891]

That was so funny !

[@polarlab113]

I think it was a bit of sarcasm Brenda knows the score

[@specterman2000]

You don't have apologize Brenda, Ken could handle 3 people on his back without any problems.

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Absolutely is a big and strong Percheron Gelding who could easily carry Brenda and Jim on his back without any problem

[@aileen694]

Jim to Brenda: "Jump right on!" Brenda: "Sorry Kenny. Hope I'm not too heavy..." 😄😄🤣 That wee Junie, such a beautiful creature! And excellent training, Jim. Happy Birthday to us, Canada is 157 years old!

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Happy Canada Day to You as well from a New Brunswick Canadian.

[@joycehennequin8469]

Brenda you look so small sitting on Ken, what a handsome boy Ken is...as for June what a beauti ❤ thankyou for sharing dear friends.

[@territn8871]

Skip didn't know what to think about his mom climbing up on Ken to ride around! So cute!🏇😘 Little Junie has really filled out good since seeing her last week! Lady is supplying her with good nourishment! I love how her mane and tail have curls and waves! For Lady to not like Bill around her and her baby just shows how protective she is as Bill has always been her best buddy! Lady and Baron sure make beautiful babies!❤

[@marianneschacht3799]

I love how kind you both are to all of ❤your animals.😊

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Hey Jim and Brenda, A great idea to have Brenda help steer and ride Ken while you were cultivating the vegetable garden. Brenda's posture on the horse is wonderful . Sitting up square with her heels down directly under her seat was excellent. With some time and instruction Brenda could turn into a good rider. The thing that Brenda has going for her is she's extremely fit . Of course you use different muscles to ride a horse for sure. Developing what horsemen call a good seat is crucial to be able to learn balance and follow the gates of the horse. Example a 4 beat walk ,a 2 beat Trot and a 3 beat canter or lope. June is such a beautiful filly and she's growing like a wed. She has a great eye and she's really listening and following along with Jim. She really likes Jim and picks up all 4 feet easily . Consistent routines and Jim's calm demeaner goes along way with this young filly. Lady is such a great Mom and she really trusts Jim as well with her Baby.

[@DougCraig-zq1tm]

Brenda, thanks for the "extra" footage at the end. Enjoyed watching Lady and June work their out to pasture.

[@suecurtis3966]

Loved seeing the training with lovely June, loved watching you Brenda on Ken in the garden! Love everything you do

[@juwe9516]

The Mrs is nervous with bags of nervousness.. It is just matter of confidence once she get used to life on the farm and the hard graft to work on many tasks to keep everything working thick tuck thick tuck.. Go for it Mrs.

Years ago, we had a quarter horse. A friend and I were ready to put blanket and saddle on when the horse reared up. A bumble bee was in the blanket, bit the horse, chased my friend, didn't sting her, but chased me to the house and stung me on the thumb. It was three times bigger than the other one!!! 😮

[@cliffyarboro1163]

Great video ya'll reminds me of when i was young i used to cultivate our garden with a mule only I didnt have a rider to guide him you got a good woman there Jim enjoyed the video yall take care👍

Can we talk about how "regal" Brenda looks atop Ken??

[@Ironvalleylarry]

I always used fly nets on my team ,it really helped. It kept them from getting to the horse.

🤔Nice presentation on garden plowing, June leading etc 👏 curious 👀 the furnace in use any case Jim/Brenda have an enjoyable Pennsylvania trip 👍👋

Thank you Jim Brenda Ken and Skipperkey..You have enough horse power there to pull 20 cultivators😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤.

June seems to be more calm than Bree was last year.

[@SarahReed-d9l]

Your garden looks good after it has been cultivating by Jim and Brenda. It helps get the weeds out of the garden too.

[@debbievogt9881]

Still love how the dog directs everything Well, I couldn't understand why Brenda wasn't driving but now she is. I think it's working better

[@debbiebjorklund3241]

Gd Morning Brenda nd Jim. Like seeing your garden from above while hearing you up close. Sorry those flies are so bad for Ken nd yall. I could hear th horse flies ( I was train to ride Enflish rider be4 becoming a trail guide. Brenda gather your reins, nd hold the reins closer to his main/ neck, nd straighten your arms. Squeeze the rein on the same side as you want to go. Now ENJOY 😅 Cheers. 😂 God bless yall

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Hi Jim & Brenda, great stuff, a joy to watch, thanks for sharing your day with us.

[@bobwhitcomb2836]

My father cultivated corn with horses when he was growing up. He led the horse between the rows. The horse would slobber on him and he had to be quick on his feet to avoid getting stepped on. When the corn got tall the leaves scratched his face. He hated it.

[@pchaynes]

I love❤ draft babies, they are just so chill compared to light horses.😊

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

A good draft horse / light horse crosses make decent saddle horses / driving horses with good training. and patience.

[@glennwestiii3]

What an incredable filly. June is learning very quickly with your patience. I enjoyed this video!

[@grandpafischer8317]

Wow, Miss Brenda looks good up there, the garden is beautiful. Thanks for letting us hang out with y'all at the farm.

[@biddydibdab9180]

June is a smart little foal. She’s learning so quickly.

I guess it’s a drone function but I have noticed on KZbin that some graphics are backwards like looking in a mirror.But when you were calling Gee ,Ken was going left on the video

[@jimborer1524]

I realize June has not lost her baby hair. However, I think she is lighter colored than her big sister.

[@Deanna-k4i]

Good first day of July Sorry Brenda had to laugh when you told Ken sorry hoped you weren't to heavy for him you look like you weigh 110 lb soaking wet Ken probably glad you were there to help keep those flies off one of the hardest places for them to reach garden looks Fantastic 😀 ❤❤❤ Jim is so far ahead of the majority when it comes to patience and consistent repetition 😊❤

[@brendahogue5487]

Enjoy your videos and watching Brenda and the horse and cultivating the garden for planting

[@ceciliavondehn4402]

Favorite place is on the horse!

[@mfc4591]

June is growing FAST. Good work Brenda, Jim and Ken

[@sueboettcher]

Poor Kenny looked a little confused at first or maybe just annoyed by the horseflies and distracted. But once you changed it up, so Brenda was driving that seemed to work better. ❤ June is so cute with her little mane! I wonder if June and Lady and Bree would get along well enough together while you are gone.

[@territn8871]

I doubt it. The other day Lady pinned her ears back trying to keep Bree from being close to June! She was so upset with Bree getting close to her baby.

[@lindaphillips9162]

Try some coconut oil around the ears and there bottom.

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

Some horse flie traps work good at significantly reducing the females that bite when placed near and around where needed on the farm.

[@hughperkins707]

Patience and repetition, over and over again. She is going to be a great addition to your herd..👍👍

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

It's also best to change up the training routine when June gets a bit older . To have some variety so the young horse doesn't get sower with to much repetition.

[@patriciabeyer8029]

Good morning 🙏. The garden is looking good. Seems a bad year for flies. It's amazing the many kinds of work horses can do. Love it. Thanks for sharing this Canada Day.🇨🇦❤️

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Ken is light skinned and sensitive to horse flies. Jim is so kind to stop the cultivating and swat the horse flies.

[@alb5489]

Hay Brenda and Jim, while you are at Horse Progress Days (HPD) check the vendors for FlyNets for your horses. Some are still available in leather and other materials. You may like those that are a Zebrastripe sheet. When leading JuneBug try to carry a whip/wand/training stick in your left hand a and walking by her head/neck area so that you can touch her butt with the stick to cue her to walk.

[@EvansBrosRacing]

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Many, many years ago I helped a lady up into the saddle of one of my horses by letting her step into my joined hands and giving a little push. Unfortunately I pushed a bit too much - she ended up on the ground on the other side. None of this happened here.

[@sueupham2519]

ohhhh start saving them all 😅

[@louisecassidy5991]

There sure is a fly spray! Made in Australia, available at some cost online, so if you decide to try it, I suggest a bulk buy. Aeroguard Tropical Strength. Comes in a pressure can or a roll on. Roll on good around horses' faces and spread with hands, spray for on body, spray on hands then wipe on face/ears. Ditto on yourselves, repels all bugs, flies, mozzies. Aeroguard was developed after a visit from our then young Queen, who was filmed disgustedly brushing away myriads of flies. It is a life-changer, stinks but not for too long, lasts about half a day. The horses learn what its for, just don't get it up noses or in eyes, equine or human, makes me sneeze, watch the wind. June is looking and behaving fabulous! She has wonderful eyes, huge, expressive, and bugged right out for 360 vision. She is gonna be a better horse than Bree, and its the eyes. Bree is wonderful, but every foal is different. For the nibbles, load, your forefinger and thumb and be ready to give her the tiniest flick on the nose.

[@jo4275]

What do you do with all the veggies you grow? Can? Sell? Freeze? Curious

[@sueheaman7186]

Good job to all of the team members involved( human and animals) wonder if Skippy would be scared to go for a ride! June has filled out so nicely for only 18 days old! Looks like she is going to be a quick learner! Enjoy your days away and safe trip.

So enjoyed the video today. Thank you! As to the battle of black flies, recall when growing up and heading to cottage country for our summer vacations on the advice of my Grand Father who was a pharmacis;' the entire family took a Vitamin E supplement for about two weeks prior to doing so that seemed to work as a repellent. Fast forward (as an adult) mentioned such to an acquaintance whose husband was in the forest industry who put his entire crew on it and it appeared to be effective as well though cannot verify if it was for the entire season. Why it worked I really have no idea and am just mentioning it in event, it might prove beneficial to Jim.
