Our Amish Hired Man is Giving Ken & Lady some Exercise!! // Cellulitis in Draft Horses

[@Deanna-k4i]

Absolutely love you Brenda trying to create dialog with two very quiet work purpose driven men all the while trying to explain the operation ❤

[@biddydibdab9180]

I also noticed that the last time Brenda was out with William. He’s the ideal hired hand and he sure knows how to back that sled.

[@johnking8679]

Little Bree is not so little any more !! She's sure grown these past few months !!

[@Michael-ld2cr]

It is clear to see why Jim and Brenda hired William. He is brought up around horses and his craftsmanship. Keep up the fine work, William.

[@GloriaOglesby]

Hi, Brenda, I've been watching you and Jim's videos for awhile, I really enjoy seeing the horse work,, they listen so well to Jim and you.. you take good of them, their coats shine,,

[@GloriaOglesby]

I have a question, , so the horses sleep standing up? Is this how they are trained,,I know you let them out in the fields to relax,, but I'm curious about them sleeping standing?

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Great podcast Brenda, and William is very good at controlling and handling the horses and what a talented wood worker he is, well done William!

[@micheledaniels6409]

Its amazing how industrious people are when distractions like phones and TV are not present. William is building sheds, fixing sleds, making hay bale containers. Love to see it and it looks good.

[@Michael-ld2cr]

The Amish always doing something constructive.

[@grandpafischer8317]

Always something else to do around the farm, I'm so glad that you and Jim have some help with the unending chores. Thanks for letting us hang out.

[@denniswagner6753]

Those horses sure look content at there new feeder William built.great video Brenda.

[@gaylesmith1738]

Great video! Of course, I missed Jim! But, I could imagine him working at Paul Smith's college! William is an awesome extra hand on your farm. He's gentle with the animals & is comfortable with you, Brenda, & the camera. I love your new greenhouse!! That'll be so fun for you to have to work in! 👏👏👏 "Little Bree" is really grown! Wow. It'll be fun to see her next to her brother or sister when that day comes! 😊 Thanks for another great video!! 💕

[@user-ih6wy3gr6b]

Good Lord Brenda, ..... no scarf around your neck, ... hat upon your head, ... no ear muffs? Dear One, ... I would be freezing!!!!! Good job with the barn repair and handling the horses. You are a hard working young man! - ACD

[@robinfarrell5289]

Fun video today, Bree is getting so big. Yall always have some sort of project going on, no grass grows under your feet. I very much enjoy each and every video that you make, thank you. Can't forget William, enjoy seeing him doing more with the horses, he does great work.

[@wjm9987]

Ken and Lady are my favorites.:) thanks for sharing- William has a pretty sweet job!

[@Munguy-i8j]

Thank you team.William did such a good job on that skoot.❤😊

[@m.harris2429]

William is an awesome addition to your channel! We wish he were our next door neighbor. Great job, Brenda. You were superwoman climbing up into the hay barn. 🥰

[@ponygirl5716]

William seems like such a nice, gentle man with the animals. Skippy is such a cute, crazy, fun loving puppy! I have a young active dog now and something I use to help her calm down and be still for a little while at times when I can’t get her outside as much is a red Kong toy filled with canned dog food and frozen solid. It takes a while for them to empty it when frozen solid. Licking it calms them. Get a large size for Skippy. The smaller ones just don’t last long enough. They save me at the “Calgon take me away times.”

[@joycehennequin8469]

Oh Brenda a greenhouse now that's very exciting,you must be thrilled being a gardener 🌱🌱🌱William l love how you handle the horses and you talk so gently to them,.The horses truly like being around you you can just tell,great work William.All the very best dear friends.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes! I am very excited. William does great with the horses. Take care!

[@Nancy-1249B]

Skippy. The happiest dog in New York!😊

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Brenda and William, thank you for bringing us along today with your busy activities. I really appreciate the rebuilt Scoot and William loading the loose hay from the loft. I was very pleased to see how the horses are enjoying the feeder . Bree looks terrific. It's really wonderful how skilled a carpenter William is to build you a lovely green house.

[@donaldvogtsberger1105]

I love the sound of horses chewing on hay @ 22:30. Very peaceful. Great video. Take care and don’t slip on icy snow. 😊

[@JamesMcGill-kr2qk]

The hay sheds will save you from wasting hay that gets trampled in the mud. Please bottle up some of Skippy energy and send me some. I could use it. William is doing a great job with every task that has been assigned to. You must be pleased with how he has worked out. Thanks again for for all of your hard work to share these videos with us Brenda. MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY please stay safe.

[@HensOnly]

Greenhouses are going to be in demand in the next few years. William should be very busy getting the greenhouse orders in after people get their income taxes in! Good job, William and Brenda, it has been a fun day at the farm! Can't wait to see the finished product William will complete!

[@tacratt6091]

Amish men are born with a hammer in their hand! So talented and proud in their work! I wish I had some Amish in our community, there’s nobody where I’m at to hire that’s dependable!

[@c0lvin4o]

You must feed Skippy Wheaties given his energy. Then again, he's a typical Gordon!

[@suepeterson5675]

How nice Brenda , a green house ! 😊

[@andrewmoran7353]

All the chores, horses work and exercise, green house venture moving smoothly, good day 🤔👍

[@libby5335]

Really good video, Brenda! Like watching William at work. He does a great job with the horses, building things, fixing up the barn! I really like the down home tenor of your videos. Just telling about your life as it is. Did miss seeing Jim in this one.

[@brendaconrad1257]

I love all the horses!!!! Thank you Brenda for sharing

[@sueboettcher]

Poor Kenny with his leg again. And I can see Lady’s baby bump! When the younguns came out to eat hay, I noticed Earl pinning his ears at the approaching Bree. Guess he thinks she’s getting big enough that he needs to reinforce his position in the hay hierarchy!

[@hildanix3768]

Your horses look good!

[@rodneywroten2994]

no hay on the ground. I like that

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Absolutely love watching the horses.. William is one talented guy. I think he can build just about anything... God bless . Look foward to having Jim come back. ❤

[@carrols.hawkins7770]

William is such a nice young man. I am so happy that Jim has him to assist on the farm. Brenda, you sure get a workout while filming these videos. Your camera work is very good. By the way, I am enjoying my calendar very much. Thank you.

[@mariephenix7168]

the color of the Suffolk punch is taking over Bree! What a beauty!

[@tracyjohnson2992]

The Amish are very talented and are taught from a fairly young age what need to be done and how to go about doing it. They are very well educated by their peers and i would trust them any day over most contractors to build things. William thank you for all that you do for Jim Brenda and the family. You are doing an amazing job keep up the great work you are doing. God bless you William. and Jim and Brenda and the rest of your family too I am so excited for Abby getting the drywall in and she is feeling the difference with how warm the house is feeling now not long now and she will be all moved in.

[@RaymondWKing-dn8wf]

Willims a good hand, thrifty and industrious, I like His Sheds and I'm impressed with His Green House Idea, it will be good for those of us that enjoy gardening and starting plants, I hope to see various stages of the construction like Abby House, and I look forward to seeing the finished project. have a wonderful day all!

[@garywilson12]

william, great job working with the horses and that green house project is taking shape

[@kensayre6919]

I like the way William ties when he is loading.

[@paulandlaurahausman379]

The snow sounds like glass breaking. It must be really cold where you are. I see skippy is riding the sleigh, too cute. I love the calm sound of horses eating so rheumatic.

[@K9COP282]

William is quite the carpenter!! Bree looks like she’s growing beautifully!! Thank you for another great video Mrs. Brenda!

[@thomasgubbins1277]

Maybe I can stop by sometime after sugaring season. I enjoyed your recent video on visiting George and his sugaring operation. I know that I will be up there soon to visit my son and daughter at school.

[@cheryls3162]

I need a good worker like William around my house, so many things that need done! 😄

[@rocroc]

It seems to me William has added a lot to the farm. I think it has been good for Jim and Brenda as well. He has done a lot of creative work on the equipment and buildings and seems to work quickly and efficiently. That sled and using it is a perfect example.

[@handyguy480]

Brenda so happy you guys have young William. He's young but very easy to teach your way of doing things. Your videos are so enjoyable. Skip has added so much to your family. Hopefully Ken avoids any problems in his rear leg..such a treasure of a horse. Me KC

[@momclean]

You have really been lucky with William as your hired hand...good luck to him in his endeavours.

[@davidsukup5389]

Brenda I USED A GREEHOUSE similar to yours! Recommend a window on both side for ventilation, it gets really hot in spring 80 90 just from sun. And late winter you may need a small heater in case acool spell comes in. I used a milk house heater and set it on 50 degrees for 28 to 30 degrees outside.. I also put clear deck roofing all around my green house.. I really liked it. Dave Sukup Kc Missouri

[@johnking8679]

William has certainly proved very helpful for both you and Jim !! I love the new greenhouse that is in production !! Other than that, it sure looks C.O.L.D. outside !!

[@dennismalcolm6620]

GREAT JOB WILLIAM 👏 👍...YOU HAVE A KEEPER THERE BRENDA 😮🎉

[@thomasgubbins1277]

Leaving Vermont tomorrow morning for Canton and Potsdam. If you are around, I could stop by but I if not, maybe another time.

[@Kathy-t1g]

Well done! Animals, projects, photo ops, expertly done

[@ResistanceChicks777-fw4mb]

PG here Great to see you doing a video minus Jim. Worked out really good, "Working Horses Without Jim". But as a bonus, we got William, Brenda, Ken, Lady, Duke, Earl, and Brea! Plus a new greenhouse. A fair trade-off! Don't forget Skippy and I think I heard a cow somewhere nearby. Next update on the piggies, Jim showed us the Amish pigs in his video on the swirl sled being rebuilt, with the beehive making.

[@patriciathorp4911]

Lovely video ..Skippy is s7ch an addition to my enjoyment. I sympathise with you on having a dog that doesn't understand there's days you just can't go out 8n😂. You're so lucky to have William...he's very skilled in everything he does - just like your beloved Jim.

[@thomasgubbins1277]

I can be there any time on Friday. It is 4 1/2 hours from my place in Pomfret, VT.

[@tayles76sydney78]

How does William get to the farm, I noticed a carriage and wondered if he had his own pony?

[@boscodog4358]

Face the green house south and have some ventilation for the hot early spring days

[@lorenzowoodson624]

Another great video. William is such a great worker and ya'll are very lucky to have him. I hope I don't sound too negative when I say this but, the Amish do not like to be recorded but in every video the camera is on him quite a bit! But I guess if he doesn't mind, it's all good!

[@JuneSmith-pk4zc]

You can encourage better horse health by allowing access to tree bark and wild weeds year round. My neighbor a few miles away has a few horses in their late twenties. He practices his old grannies way of treating horses. They are quite healthy and driven every other day. He said horses will crave wild stuff because they need something.

[@artpatronforever]

Minimal veterinary experience do I have but more experience with human medicines from having worked in a compounding pharmacy. I thought about things I might use formulating a creme or lotion as should work well generally and likely be good for animals. While searching I found an already existing formula for horses that uses similar ingredients, actually not my first choices but effective and likely less expensive. There is a lot of overlap for what medicines may be used on humans or animals and this should fit that category. It has a trade name Scratches and composition description follows: (Triamcinolone Acetonide + Nystatin + Gentamicin Sulfate + DMSO), Topical Cream, 16oz If the problem is a chronic skin infection then additionally Muprirocin 2% ointment may be used to augment. What you described sounds like a resistant bacteria that keeps returning because it never gets completely eradicated. Continuing treatment for an additional time beyond the time it seems healed may help eliminate the recurrence of a resistant infection. If the price is too great for a trade name product a compounding pharmacy may be less cost to blend the medicine as the vet prescribes. My 2 cents.

[@uteschneider3349]

Mit DMSO und Schwefel, das scheint eine sehr gute Mischung zu sein❣ Vor allem macht es keine zusätzlichen Resistenzen. Wenn DMSO drin ist, muß aber vorher das Bein / Fell gut gereinigt sein. Vielleicht sollte man es im Frühjahr verwenden und das Bein vorher rasieren?

[@artpatronforever]

@@uteschneider3349 The DMSO is a solvent for medicines that penetrates skin so the medicines are absorbed deeply into the skin and even through the skin into the tissue and blood. A small amount 3-5% salicylic acid works the same way but not as good as DMSO. Always a good idea to gently bathe skin before applying medicines, with or without bandages. A wrapping of not to tight bandage also increases greatly the absorption of medicines like ointments or creams or lotions. Usually that helps for first two or three days only, and then allowing air with no bandage over the medicines applied for the remaining time of treatment. The steroids help greatly reduce the swelling, oozing, itching and pain.

[@artpatronforever]

@@uteschneider3349 Reassure the horse by saying it is actually a guinea pig for a science experiment, but not to worry because experts say everything is A-Okay, LOL

DMSO transportiert Alles in den Körper. Auch Schmutz, Schweiß und was noch auf einem Pferdebein sein kann.Bakterien aus dem Stall? Ich habe gelernt, Menschen sollen vorher sehr gründlich ihre Haut reinigen, bevor sie DMSO anwenden. DMSO macht, daß die Zellverbindungen für einen kurzen Moment "gelockert" werden. Deshalb kann Alles besser in den Körper eindringen, was außen drauf ist. Medikamente, aber auch schlechte Dinge, wenn nicht gründlich gereinigt wird. Im DMSO ist Schwefel und Sauerstoff drin. Bakterien mögen keinen Schwefel. Der Sauerstoff lässt schlechte Bakterien zerplatzen. Es wäre deshalb auch gut , DMSO mit H2O2 zu mischen und Umschläge zu machen. Dann würde noch mehr Sauerstoff ins Pferdebein gelangen und noch mehr Bakterien zerplatzen. Oder man stellt das Pferdebein in einen Eimer mit verdünntem H2O2? Allerdings habe ich keine Kenntnis, mit welcher Substanz man dieses flüssige Mittel zu einem Gel machen kann, damit es besser auf dem Pferdebein hält. Parallel könnte man dem Pferd vielleicht MSM ins Futter geben? Dann hat es den Schwefel von innen. Oder Artemisia annua, wilde Karde, Oregano? Von außen und innen? Ich würde alle antibakteriellen und antiviralen Mittel der Phytotherapie und alten Hausmittel , die Pferde vertragen, ausprobieren, um dem Pferd zu helfen und die unterschwellige Infektion unter Kontrolle zu halten. Ich selber halte damit meine Borrelien auf einem niedrigen Level, damit sie nicht mehr explodieren. Mein Bein wurde auch dick und violett und tat schrecklich weh. Ich hatte einen Morbus Herxheimer wie aus einem Lehrbuch. Kein Arzt hat gewußt, was es ist. Zum Glück hatte ich über die Selbsthilfe einen Immunologen gefunden, der die Borellien mit speziellen Blutuntersuchungen messen konnte, die ein normaler Hausarzt gar nicht kennt und durchführt. Mir ist die Wissenschaft egal. Wer heilt hat Recht. Außerdem gibt es heutzutage schon wissenschaftliche Nachweise und kleinere Studien. Diese Mittel wurden von den Menschen seit Jahrhunderten benutzt. Sogar Ötzi, der Steinzeitmensch, der im Eis gefunden wurde, in den Alpen, trug Heilkräuter bei sich, weil er eine Borreliose hatte. Wie soll man bei Ken sehen, ob seine Beine rot sind, ob er einen Morbus Herxheimer hat? Irgendein Bakterium, Virus, Einzeller? wird es sein, das die Entzündung verursacht. Ich weiß wie sich so etwas anfühlt. Der arme Ken. 😥 Hoffentlich verschreibt der Tierarzt ihm auch Prä - und Probiotika, wenn er Antibiotika bekommt. In der USA ist doch Phytotherapie sehr billig. In Deutschland ist das sehr teuer, weil die Pharmaindustrie es verhindern will. Aber seit dem C. gibt es zum Glück mehr Hersteller und ich versuche es aus dem Ausland billiger zu bekommen. Ich hoffe google übersetzt das richtig.

[@grammajean1327]

William's hat is looking a bit tattered. Come spring maybe he will get a new one. A side note: I love that you have the sawmill. It provides lumber for all your and Abby's projects. It's great that there are Amish in the area that can supplement your needs for horse related items and have a fellow who can come and work your farm with the horses. Skippy is really growing. Is cellulitis more prevalent in older horses? I'm sure you have mentioned this in previous videos that deal with cellulitis but I don't have such a great memory any more. The hay feeder looks to be working very well for loading loose hay as well as bales. I guess the real value of them will come when the weather warms and the worm load is controlled because the hay is off the ground.

[@RobertJones-ey9qz]

A suggestion for you: Put a gutter on the low side of the roof and a barrel to catch rain water in. You may not need to run a hose to the greenhouse to water your plants. Just something to think about. Another interesting video. Thank you

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Yes, we are planning on doing that, should work great!

I’ve mentioned this before. Ken’s back legs are wider than the spreader bar. He’s so big his rear legs rub in harness, this cellulitis. Enlarge hos spreader bar or double it. His legs are so massive. I was married to a stout fellow. He broke furniture, pool ladders, and his brothers always tried to drown him in the pool. He swooped his big arms like a giant sea turtle and could easily drown two full grown men. I made his clothes special and they lasted. Ken needs custom spreader and looser harness on his back end. I expect a reply. Especially since Ken anchore your whole stable. B

My left hind leg is swollen also. Think that I need more exercise! Skippy needs to be hooked to a heavy drag and then put to work.

[@thomasgubbins1277]

Love watching your videos. I finally found someone locally to help teach me to drive a team here in Vermont. Hope to someday meet you as all of my kids attend college in St Lawrence County so I travel there often. Any chance you could do a video on teaching a horse to back up. I am amazed at how Jim backs up to implements. Also, would love to get some pointers on teaching a young draft horse when you don’t have an older horse like Ken to hitch to.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

That's great that you found someone to help you close by. You are welcome to stop on the way through, you go close by when you go to St. Lawrence, just let us know. We did a bunch of videos if you go back and look on training a single horse when we were training Baron. I will try to talk about backing up a horse sometime.

[@territn8871]

Lady is showing she's in foal now much faster than she did when pregnant with Bree!!!❤ As someone who's dealt with cellulitis frequently, I for once disagree with Jim. At the first indication of cellulitis, it's very important to administer antibiotics at the onset. Otherwise it will be more serious and take longer to clear up. This last time I had it, it took from August to this past January for mine to clear up, and it took three rounds of 10-day antibiotics plus a shot of Rocephine to clear up. So if it were me, I'd start Ken on a strong antibiotic at the first day of his swollen leg. The reason cellulitis is so serious is because it can become septic quickly and, in humans that means possibly loss of a limb, or worse, death. Little Bree sure does have a fluffy winter coat!!!🥰 She is such a gorgeous little filly!!!

[@johnzugg8340]

Especially at Ken's age. I believe the last time he had a bout starting, Jim hit it hard W antibiotics and was over it in no time. I totally agree with you ❤❤❤

[@thirzapeevey2395]

If there is no heat in the limb, he is probably just stocking up in that limb and exercise is the cure. Geldings are much more prone to this, as they lose some of their lymph circulation in the surgery. I've taken care of a gelding who was very prone to this, and most of the time he was just stocking up. That said, you are correct that when he did get lymphangitis, it moved very quickly and lasted a long time. The fact that the swelling went down with exercise tells you it probably wasn't infection.

[@momclean]

Last time I saw Ken out working, I thought his left hind looked a little filled, I guess Ken will have probs with this leg now and then ..

He does have a horse and buggy he takes to work and it takes him about 20 minutes to get there. in some of the videos, you can see the buggy parked and in others you can see his horse briefly.

[@pamnewman4945]

When is Ladies foal due?

[@marlo446]

Perhaps the cellulitis wouldn't be a problem if the horses weren't stalled so restrictively. My stalls are 12 x 12 so the horses can move freely and have never had a problem with cellulitis.

[@thirzapeevey2395]

If you've been watching their videos for more than a few minutes, you know that their horses go out and work or are turned out every day. The stalls are merely a place to eat and sleep. Horses in box stalls frequently are in them day after day after day without any exercise. These horses work.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

thanks Thirza, for replying in a bunch of comments, Ken actually has been in our box stall and still got a big leg, but has improved by working.
