My wife's FIRST time PLOWING WITH DRAFT HORSES!!!

Today my wife Brenda is trying something new!! She is plowing with draft horses for the very first time! Today she is using our Percheron team, Ken & Buck. How will she do??
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses 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!

My grandmother passed away in 2015 at 105. She would have so enjoyed your videos. She and her 6 sisters plowed their farm in Oklahoma in the 20s. When we would go to museums and she would see plows she would talk about the hours in the fields she loved horses and really loved to garden even after moving to California. She had a huge garden until she passed. You’re a great teacher Jim and we’re very patient. Great pupil too Brenda loved this!

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

That's so nice to have shared!!

[@simonyoder3105]

Jim and Brenda; I LOVE this showing. One question , if Brenda is your loving wife wouldn't it more fun to put her on your lap and you teach her how to do the levers on the ends until she has had enough time to watch you and how and when it is time to move the levers? I grew up cultivating corn rows with my bro. driving while I handled the cultivator sections

[@jeanries434]

Said very well, thank you

[@donaldstrishock3923]

The best WAY to teach another, is to DO the Whole Procedure 5 times yourself ( lots of visual cues)&( NO saddle time) in a progressive manner. There is a LOT of particular controls, Splict-second timing to smoothly COORDINATE the Whole Complex Proceedure. This is NO EASY Task to master, it "Might" be Easier to Pilot a Commercial Airliner. This was a Very Good exaple of how TOUGH "old-style" farming used to be. Precision plowing with "Draft Horses" is pure "Artwork". The highly skilled Horses Realy seem to "Know what's going On". Thank you for the great Video Sir & Mam and happy plowing.

[@anitapalmer6995]

What a wife. She bakes bread, gardens, and now plows a straight line. Brenda you are amazing and your husband is a blessed man.

[@carryonbeloved2856]

Jim and Brenda, you are both so wonderful! Thank you!

[@michaelladd3628]

I so enjoy the videos you two create. Excellent instructional video on the complexities of plowing. I greatly admire Brenda for giving it a go even though she didn't fully understand the necessary mechanical interactions of the plow. You learn timing and know how by doing. She has a good mentor and Jim, your patience in talking her through the process was probably the primary reason she didn't get flustered. Buck and Ken's calm demeanor surely made it a much more enjoyable experience for her as well. If she truly wants to plow, from what I saw in the video, she can surely master it. The two of you having fun at the end of the video was a pleasant bonus. God bless you both.

[@iramatheny4367]

Brenda, love those straight furrows! 65 years ago, I was taught to plow, cultivate, and mow with Tommy and Billy. They knew I was a green kid and they made me look bad. But you, Ken and Buck are doing it great! Keep it up, girl.

[@farmwife3622]

LOVED THE ENDING!! 😍 I LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN BRENDA SAID WHAT DID I DO WRONG!! WOW A LOT TO DO AND REMEMBER TO GET GOING AND AT END!! BRENDA I HAVE CONFIDENCE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT. YOU ARE SUCH A HARD WORKER AND GOOD AT MANY THINGS!! BLESSINGS TO BOTH OF YOU .

[@lspthrattan]

Oh what a great idea! Go Brenda! And what a great lesson for the rest of us who want to learn. Thanks! It's interesting to see just how complicated it is after all this time of watching Jim make it *look* easy. Keep at it Brenda, I find you inspiring!

[@benzoverakers1877]

It's nice to see the mechanic's of plowing. I'm sure it take awhile to master it. Brenda did a great job for 1st time. Jim you did well tutoring us all. Blessings to all

[@leahcushman5290]

Kudos to Brenda! To learn anything new on camera is very brave. And to take instruction from your husband can be very trying. But you both did very well!🤗❤️❤️❤️

*What an incredible wife! From baking bread to gardening, and now plowing a straight line. Brenda, you're truly amazing, and your husband is a fortunate man.*

I'll tell ya, Brenda, you are amazing. I thought you were awesome and you didn't quit. There are a lot of steps and handles to learn in a short span and you are doing great. You and Jim should be proud. I really enjoyed Jim's comments and his patience.

[@amyharrell251]

Yes earthy Brenda your doing great and practice will be good for you.

I don’t plow or live on a farm but always enjoy your videos whatever your sharing with us!!! Thank you!!!

[@ellyberghoef1866]

Go, Brenda, go! 💕👍💕

[@lisaherring1503]

I really enjoyed this video. I think Jim is so experienced he makes it all look easy. By showing Brenda we are able to see how much more there is to to do than just leading the horses. I loved the ending, you two having fun with it.

[@TubbyLadyDallas]

I didn't realize the driver had so much to do (adjustments to make) at the ends of the rows. I like being able to appreciate what is going on. Jim your ability to explain and Brenda' willingness to learn with so many "eyes" watching is amazing. Thank you both!

[@chrisgibson2317]

Chris 06/05/23 (73 yrs) Australia like video. Ex farmer and livestock, love the horses,envy your lifestyle. Would love answers to 30 questions, rainfall etc. what crop plowing for?

[@conniesadowinski6846]

Thanks for sharing such a great video. If my mother-in-law was still living, she would have really enjoyed watching this. I remember her telling me how she loved the smell of fresh turned sod. Brenda, you did great! There is a lot to concentrate on. I enjoyed this video.

[@deronjurgensen6412]

The noise is very enjoyable

[@AbleGoodman]

I absolutely LOVE your channel, Jim and Brenda! You are living the life I would love to live if I had the money and a wonderful farm like yours. You guys are like a slice of Americana. Thanks for sharing!

[@mfc4591]

Now that was fun. Well done Brenda. Jim is patient and the horses as good as ever.

[@jipjojed]

Brenda your awesome! Great video! You make my day, with your fun and laughter!

[@carrols.hawkins7770]

Never will I plow a field with a team of horses, but I enjoyed every minute of this tutorial. I am so happy that I found your channel a few months ago.. 🍂😀🍂🍁🍂❄️⛄️❄️

[@gaylesmith1738]

Brenda, I'm so impressed!!! I am laughing (sorry!) because I'm imagining myself doing this!! Always a challenge learning something new...especially in front of "the world"!! You're both awesome! I love your videos! 😃

[@fredharrowven1040]

Hi I just come across your stream and I found that most interesting i am 76 coming on 77 and I haven’t seen ploughing like that for many a year that brought back memories loved it thank you. Fred. England 🇬🇧🇺🇸.

Absolutely wonderful to watch! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@davidmunro1469]

Thank you Jim and Brenda. I Think Brenda can win the next plowing match.❤😊

[@kevintengvall4642]

Great effort Brenda, Jim makes it look so easy, loved the ending with your bonding time lol

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

That was absolutely fascinating! I could easily have watched Brenda plough another twenty furrows or so. Great idea for a video!

[@randybutler4772]

Brenda thank you for demonstrating this complicated operation. You helped us understand what is involved in plowing the first time. Jim was also helpful in telling us what needs to happen. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴

[@susiejett8289]

Being from horses and having different breeds, every time I watch you there's something that makes me think about how something can be done different. I learn by watching. Thanks for allowing us into your world for a little bit. You both are very special people. Blessings to you both and the horses and cats too.

Love how you explain everything no matter what you are doing on the farm or in the woods . Brenda you have a pioneer spirit putting your hands too the plowing. Great job !

[@bjrinshore]

Brenda is an inspiration. Thanks to both of you

[@cliffordmattern2454]

I'm telling you now. Brenda is going to make a top hand. She has all my respect. She gets out there and gets after it, and not afraid to learn something new. I see her being able to free up jim alot around the farm. If jim needs to be in the mill Brenda can be working in the field with the horses getting the job done while Jim's doing other jobs. Very strong woman. Just goes to show a woman CAN do a man's job any day. You go brenda.

[@garyhammond2213]

I really enjoyed this video. When I was a young lad, I would rake our back field with my great-grandfather (born in 1882) with a one-horse rake. I would sit on the seat between his legs, and we would drag the hay back to the barn. Pitch it into the mound and salt it between layers. I wish it was possible to go back to the best days of my life. Thanks for a great video.

[@martyjones9043]

Great job Brenda

[@gaylandtitus2791]

[@robertschilling3308]

Lol. Last 30 seconds of the video was the best part. Haha. Fun to be married!!! Brenda you done did good. And the complaining from jim about walking so far. Good grief. Lol. And we all know the miles that brenda has walked is commendable to say the least. Great video jim on explaing the plowing operation. Who knew? Only farmers i suppose. Do more vids like this one. Brenda...get back at jim and video him making a pie or baking bread!!! Lol

What an inspiration you both are. You absolutely amaze me with your patience.

Thank you so much for sharing all your virtues and taking the time to teach.

[@drisselhamri647]

[@chrislittlefarm]

That was great, Brenda! You can be proud of your performance. It is so nice to see how you two harmonize with each other, especially in the last furrow 😊👍👍 Please, keep on plowing, Brenda, I'm sure you'll love it!! You have the best conditions to learn, great teacher, great horses! Take care! -Chris

[@adrianbew9641]

For the first time Brenda did a brilliant job ploughing, turning at the ends is always difficult even with a tractor in restricted spaces. Once she gets to grips with where to position the horse's then it will come right. Brenda don't fret, it will come to you, Jim has a lot of experience.

[@joycehennequin8469]

Well said Adrian

[@waltrope7788]

Brenda you did an awesome job! I'm with you too many levers to move and they look hard to squeeze let alone hold onto those horses too at the same time.....Jim just makes it look easy, LOL! Enjoy you videos, thanks for positing, Sharon

[@iowapanner2223]

My great uncle used to tell of plowing on the river side of the levee along the Mississippi, south of Nauvoo, Il. He stopped once to watch the riverboat passing and soon was waving at the folks waving and cheering at him. When he turned back to his work he saw his team just cresting the levee. He was born in 1892.

[@billbright1755]

My dear friend John, passed on in early eighty’s, was born in Iowa in 1900. He learned to farm on horse power then later with steam then gasoline powered equipment. His school work from childhood was in German. He came to Montana with family in 1919 and helped the grain production operations. The finest man I ever knew and as a boy I got to help him plow with his then John Deere model D, model A, model 70 and Oliver Cletrac tractors. At harvest time we used his 1946 Chevrolet ton and a half to haul thirty miles one way to elevator. Non dump bed they would raise whole truck to empty grain. I still drive my 51 Chevrolet half ton near daily with very similar mechanics We would oft plow from before sunrise and not pull the pin till dusk. The sound of those tractors forever in my soul. It instilled a love for my homeland words cannot express entirely. The very soil we return to. Brenda did wonderful.

[@HannahRoot55]

[@suecurtis3966]

Both Jim and Brenda are so patient with each other! It’s a pleasure watching you teach and learn respectively. Great job Brenda! I was so confused at the beginning but you picked it up pretty quickly. Loved the video and just regret, as always, that we can’t enjoy the wonderful smell of the horses and the earth.

I was holding my breath and biting my fingernails - will she make the turn of not? She did and with praise from Jim too! Good job, Brenda.

[@garyhammond2213]

Before I was born, my great grandfather had a larger farm and had Belgium draft horses. Around 1920 he used them to tow granite blocks to build a dam in a RI state park. He got 10 cents a ton for the effort. The good old days.

[@johnking8679]

Brenda, you were 'one with the earth' while learning to plow with your horses - under the tutorledge of the master, your dear husband, Jim !! Ha, Ha !! Personally, I thought you did a fantastic job. Love watching the earth "fold over" as the plow cuts through !! 👍😁

[@johnking8679]

CORRECTION: The pelling of the word "Tutelage" !!

[@johnking8679]

"tutelage" is correct.

[@funfamilyhearts9440]

Great job Brenda, you learn fast, keep up the good work.

[@justinallmond3855]

I think a little trick for Brenda when starting a new furrow, don’t worry about using a hand to move the lever back to the vise-grip. Just push the foot pedal and the plow should get sucked down/back by the horses motion. Once it hits the vise-grips take your foot off the pedal and you’re all set.

[@karlgant8953]

I don't know anything about plowing but I think it takes some practuce to build up some muscle memory to get the hang of it. Think of all the skill sets you need to do this!

[@monaliberty473]

All I can say is that, plowing with that plow, probably any plow, is quite difficult - this lever, that lever, foot pedals & the timing has to be perfect. And let's not forget the strength it takes to work them. 💪 You did a great job, Brenda!

[@arnegerhardsen3755]

I think Brenda is really tough, most people would not like to be on camera by learning this the first time, I'm very impressed. My father teached me plowing with two horses when I was a boy for 50 years ago, with an older and more simple type of plow that they normally used more than 100 years ago, without the wheels and seating, your plow for horses was nice and your plowing was very good. It's of course important to set a tractorplow to glide easily in the soil too, if not it will go heavier and will not close like your nice plowing.

[@RobertJones-ey9qz]

I understand what Brenda was talking about with the feeling. Years ago, when I worked in a factory, I said something to a guy I worked with about plowing. I said about looking back at the dirt rolling over and getting a strange feeling. He chuckled and said, kinda gets in the blood don't it. He farmed several hundred acres, I only had my ten, but I knew that special feeling. Another interesting and informative video. Thank you Have a good day.

Brenda and Jim, you both are a joy to watch in all your videos, & especially in this one!!! Brenda, you did a great job out there, it's certainly not an easy one. We laughed at the banter between you both, because it reminded us of how we are as well!! So refreshing to see a loving, easy going couple share their lives with all of us as you do!!! We also watch Abbey's channel and enjoy her humor as she's focusing on making her house the home of her dreams!!! Anyway, great video, thank you, & one last thing...Brenda, love your boots!!!!!! 💕
