Suffolk Punch Horses at Berea College

[@kindraericksen7077]

I want a Suffolk Mare! Excited to begin my journey with this breed.

[@kindraericksen7077]

Beautiful horses.

[@zantomko1780]

I follow ‘working horses with Jim’ he just got suffolks and is an excellent working logger and teamster.

[@busterqhorse4226]

Nice horses! Well trained!

[@jonathanwhite6290]

Great video! I really enjoy watching this stuff.

[@suecastillo4056]

Ethics and knowledge so important... integrity to keep this breed in the loop so to speak... Rural Heritage thank you sooo much! Get the word out by giving men like this the platform to help this breed survive and thrive♥️🤗

The fact is all draft horses will die out. This is because there is no more work for them. There is a place in south Africa where they would breed African Elephants for people to hunt. Because there was use for the Elephants their numbers increased while all the other elephants who were not of use are now and still dying out. The point is machines have taken all draft horse, draft mule and donkeys and oxen jobs. So they are and will die out regardless what people do. They are not meant to be pets. They are meant to work.

... and more ... Suffolks need to be preserved ...

[@jessicapearson9479]

There are more of these horses than the American Cream Draft Horse. The only true American Draft Horse.

@@jessicapearson9479 Why don't you consider contacting Mendota Ranch Directly ... with your information/support... I watch his channel .. but my comment was about 5 months ago ... contact him... no doubt he would be happy to respond to you. Kindly do not bother me, again.

Thanks Joe Mischka, Jason Rutledge, Ben Burgess, Sam Tackett and the Suffolks. Great program to advance the Suffolk Punch and horse logging. Special thanks to Foggy Botttom Floyd for his antics (that are related to those sworls on his face) while listening to Jason!! ;-)) Check out Linda Tellington-Jones for more info about sworls...very interesting.

I am so happy to see this nearly brings tears to my eyes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of saving this breed.

I did not know thoroughbreds were bred for their flight response. I do not know a college had a draft horse program.

👍👍

[@jamesbohlman4297]

We changed the horse to be more amenable to work; and they inturn changed us.

Suffolk is old English for south folk

[@jeannecooke4862]

Have you heard of Mendota Ranch on KZbin? He clones horses ... that mare could be cloned for the future ...

[@suecastillo4056]

No...

[@bns8594]

Does anyone sale frozen semen? Of Suffolk punch horses?

[@jessicapearson9479]

Not the place to be looking for that. Why don't you use what little brain you have and actually go to the registry for these horses. They have sales of these horses all the time.

@@jessicapearson9479 Thank you for kind sweet words of advice. I really appreciate it! You have a blessed day.

What a junky place, what is wrong with you folks...all I see is a great potential big vet.bill with lumber , pallets laying all over the ground...if you apparently love these horse's clean up there area...and the opening up top on there stalls way to narrow...they can slame their poles..and hurt their heads....and the stalls are way to old style...laying the stall slates sidewise will more than cause a cast situation..if the walls where done vertical...and a cast kick plate the horse would be able to lay down and get up much easier...I just hate this old way many , many people think as to how a horse stall should be built...
