Pulling Out a Cell Tower Storage Container

Not all of Jason Julian's work for C. H. Coakley regarding cell phone towers, is for moving technical equipment. Today, he and our American Brabant draft horses were needed to move a storage container. This container is used by cell tower installers and employees to store various outdated and unnecessary items. It became froze down and snowed in this fall and was way past due for removal. This storage container was also located down a hill and quite a ways off the paved road. For these reasons, it was extremely difficult for the flatbed truck to come into this site and remove the container. So after some manuvering and with alot of pulling, Jason and the horses successfully moved the container up onto the road! - Legacy Horse Logging

Great to see your horses put to such an unusual use. Hopefully a good supplemental income resulted from that as well! Yours is truly an admirable and very versatile operation!

The horses are like OK that's done where's the hay? Horses love a job, being relevant makes them have great lives.

Good day Boy interesting. 4 horses beside each other reminds of romans & chariots. Lots of power.. Many yrs ago my dad got aload of cob corn truck in, told them come before snow flies, tractor no chains, dad put 2 horses on they pull it but winded at top of hill. Truck driver could not believe they could pull. Horses tear hard into it. Thanks Wish my dad was here to see this

If anyone is curious, from the left there are atleast 3 Belgian Draft horses. If you see a Belgian Draft for example with a cut tail, it's basically normal since it's cut for safety. Like when herding dogs (like Australian shepherd) got their tails cut so cattle wouldn't basically rip it off as that is something that happens with farm work. Cut tails are used here in Europe a lot more since some of the base draft breeds came from here and have been used in the same way for hundreds of years. My country doesn't have basically any tail clipping like Belgia has since we don't have the same breeds in use and our (Finnland) Finnhorse can manage without much tail proplems. These horses still have their *whole* tail left, but I would suggest giving the hairs a trim so they don't get caught by the pulling tack. Horses tails are naturally about 30-40cm long or shorter. The hairs just give the illusion of it being really long so people often get suprised by the length when they don't know basically anything about horses.

So well trained and atentive you and jim from youtube have amazing horses i love how their treated like friends i watch the horse pulls and you can see some teamsters have hard time hooking the sled this man has no problem with 4 horses i love how they are stoped and waiting and ready to do what they do best for their dad

Heartfelt power, really. I'm a horse owner too, just saddle horses as of yet though. Neat to see the outside horses without blinders. Big geldings on the outside.

[@farmwife7944]

horses who have to deal with motorized traffic do better in blinders, like the Amish carriage horses my neighbors have. They do not wear them when working the farm or logging though.

[@terrietackett8964]

If you would like to adopt a draft horse, the charity, Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue has many horses rescued from kill pens. I own two Belgians I rescued from a kill pen. 🥰😘

[@longwhitemane]

Gentle Giants is an awesome org, but you have to live within a certain distance of them as part of the adoption agreement. I am sure it's for a good reason. As I live in Arizona, I cannot adopt from them. 😞

[@farmwife7944]

@@longwhitemane however if you can alter you plans related to the type of equines you want to adopt, you can adopt from the BLM that offer mustangs and burros every year. Their website has the details. When we were younger and had a standardbred racing stable we rescued donkeys who were also destined for slaughter and they were lots of fun. Imagine unloading an equine to a new home and instead of rearing up or showing other signs of anxiety, they freeze and look around, moving forward once they get the lay of the land, for that alone it was love at first site for us. There are donkey/burro rescues in the southwest if you do not want to go the BLM route, but know that despite what they say, they do ship out rounded up stock to Mexico for slaughter. There is lots of assistance from web sites and in person for homing and training the wonderful mustangs as well but I would recommend that you take them on only if you have horse experience. Donkeys are another story.With patience, assistance from donkey owners, and a sense of humor, most folks with some type of farm experience and a few acres with a run in shed can become competent donkey owners. The donkeys and mustangs do best on scrappy acreage and will founder on the lush acreage that we usually grow for other equines, so you can place them in your “embarrassing” pastures and for winter feed them first and third cut hay, scant grain if at all, never alfalfa, and they thrive! Indian reservations and our BLM areas out west are being overrun with former pet horses that folks simply unload when they are unable to care for them, so various kill auctions, non kill rescues, etc offer up any and all types of needy equines. If you go that route and do not have much experience with taking on neglected equines, bring along someone who does because it does you and the animal no good to take on an adoption you cannot handle based only on your good intentions. The vet bills alone can be overwhelming if underlying illness and injury is apparent. For most adoptions you will take on serious blacksmith costs, it is rare to adopt an equine with good looking trimmed hooves and the experience to tolerate trims, but you can get your animal past that with knowledge, commitment and the help of a good farrier. Warning, the kill auctions will break your heart, the animals who are sold at rock bottom prices go for slaughter in Mexico or Canada, so bring along your fortitude and know that you cannot take them all on but the one you save is indeed getting a reprieve on a death sentence.

Nothing replaces "real" horsepower. Built civilizations !! Four horses is way more power than any Briggs and Stratton.

[@ericlakota6512]

Best thing is they all have tails not like them horses over in Erope hate that when the cut the tail of horse .

[@marialindell9874]

The tails get cut for safety. A number of horses in the past actually lost all of their tail (which in itself is very short) in accidents and whennit got tangled and stuck to the pulling tack. So everything has a reason and shortening the actual tail is not for the aesthetics, its for safety and practicality. These horses have their tail all fine, but the hair should be trimmed IMO. Looks like they will soon get caught. If you believe that the boney tail actually goes that far, think again and google some horse anatomy pictures. Also tail clipping for herding dogs were for the same purpose: safety. Often dogs would get their tails basically amputated when a cow would step and trample on it, so it was safer to just not have a normal tail. Nowadays people outside of farmnwork usually do it for medical reasons or the aesthetics, latter being wrong IMO.

[@foggypatchfarm6048]

I don't think it's just Europe though. I think some big show hitches in the us doc tails too. I'm not a fan. The show people breed them to be more leggy and give them more lift and flashy gaits over time too. Not a fan.... Some of these were Brabants, nice! Not leggy....

[@farmwife7944]

long tails present the strong possibility for serious injury in the driving tack. The Budweiser clydesdales get top drawer care and also have cropped tails for good reason.

[@marialindell9874]

@@foggypatchfarm6048 Tail cutting for working animals when the job they do has a great risk is not bad. Still, you guys should actually educate yourself on why we have been cutting draft horses tails and why shepard breeds usually have no tail. It's ridiculous that you always jump yo conclusions of the whole rail cutting being for aesthetics and cruelty, when it has been for practicality, safety and better work quality. For both the animals and humans sake.

[@marialindell9874]

@@farmwife7944 Yup! If you have seen the clip where they had an accident in one of their shows you'd really start rethinking the "tail cutting is bad". If the Clydes would not have cut tails, atleast 4 of them would have had them *ripped* off in the pile up. In the pile up there was 2 horses who did a front flip and were extreamly mangles in sharp gear and tack. Those tails would have had no chance.

Before this video I saw a video about Belgian horses, are they the same breed as Brabant horses. Because 'Brabant' is divided between Belgium and the Netherlands. So these could be Dutch horses.
