Surprise THUNDERSTORM During Feeding! What Could Go Wrong?

[@ellenclayton5955]

You should have a mini frig in the stable and I think it is so cool how those massive beasts trust and respect you even when they are a bit startled/confused by the surprise storm. Not everyone has what it takes to do what you do!

[@kathleenicamplone1763]

Joel you spoil them and they love it and for me I love watching you take care of them

[@blastmaster83]

We are so glad you liked the quick disconnects. We have them on all our hoses and faucets. Great job on getting the horses in. Your care for the horses is amazing.

[@lyndacuppage7353]

Ok people. 600 and some views but only 159 likes- how come? The way I understand it by hitting the like button you are thanking Joel for his hard work putting together another excellent video. It takes a fraction of a second to tap the button- you spent 25 minutes watching the video why don’t more people take that fraction of time to like what you saw?

[@barbeonline351]

FWIW, Joel gets a pretty consistent ratio of 25% Likes to Total Views. That is outrageously high for YT! A strong value elsewhere on YT is about 10%. IMHO, where he could most use help is with Shares. Spread the word!

[@ceciliaimberti4652]

Completely agree! 👍👍👍

[@daniellacey4971]

Joe you did a great job with getting the horses in and staying calm while all the chaos was going on and therefore the horses did amazing also

[@greatgarden00]

Joel you are a master horse whisperer! Great job!!

[@dba750]

That storm was amazing! I had to watch it a few more times

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

We need a rain like that. We have not had a heavy rain in over a month. The grass has gone dormant, the trees are going into drought mode and dropping their leaves. Send that rain here

[@patricianaughton-termini3683]

Same here in the Reno, Sparks Nevada area. The trees are really taking a beating these last 3 years.

[@stephencudaback4548]

Hay lefthanded frand love you and Andrew or veg boys and girls love both shows it make my day when you guys is on so keep up a good job guys and girls and grandpa mimi all you family from steve c from state Oregon

[@zeniazenia2787]

This one was so exciting! God bless!!

[@BDTrooper76]

"Flakes". I'm touched.

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

Well that was an amazing thunderstorm rolled in as fast as it came it was gone. The horses could’ve made it a lot more challenging for you than it did. That’s tribute to you and how well you train them and work with them😊♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@RockinRob69]

Some of those storms had hail in them.⚡ Up here in Wilkes-Barre, we didn't see a drop from those storms!⛅ Everything still sooooo dry.🥵

[@downhilltwofour0082]

What a finish! Thanks for sharing your work with us!

[@jasonbell9936]

Great job Joel on getting all the horses in before it rained hard

[@leannekenyoung]

Wow!! I love seeing the rain! As I was seeing it I thought I bet those veggie boys are going to be happy, but your right if it comes down too fast then it doesn’t give the land a chance to absorb it a long slow rain would be preferable but at least the ponds get refilled. As you were conditioning the hooves I thought hey the horse is getting it’s nails polished then of course my next thought was I wonder if it comes in colors?! Lol!! Can’t you just see a horse with cherry red nail Polish?! Lol!! It’s too funny! That’s awesome that a subscriber sent you those connectors for your hoses!! Gives me hope that there are a lot of nice people still out there!! Fun seeing Callie on your channel! Keep making these awesome videos I love them!! It was fun to see the time lapse of the horses getting their drinks.💕🥰🇨🇦❤️👏🏻🫶🏻🌈

[@alexshillingford5995]

Awesome storms we don’t see storms like that much in South Australia

[@meganatze9359]

We definitely do not get storms like this often, only once every few years

[@alexshillingford5995]

When it rains here in South Australia I often stop and watch it as it’s quiet mesmerising apparently we are the driest states in Australia

[@yvettekinchking8838]

You love your wife dealing with your flies so funny 😆 😄 🤣 😂 .

[@kathyhoot7277]

I would not get much work done if I worked there. I would be brushing and loving on all the animals!

[@sherryrobinson9602]

The thunderstorm did put quite a bit of rain down in such a short amount of time. Think you are right would have been better of it was a steadier rain. Gland all the horses went into the barn in time and safely. Hope Andrew, Daniel and the others had gotten the straw in before the rainstorm hit.

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Wow you were great getting all the horses sorted under pressure 👏👏👏👏 Thought your drainage did really well considering that was a Monsoon!!! The information on treating the hooves to stop cracking was brilliant on every video you teach us something new !!!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏 love from the UK x

[@michelleblandine]

Am glad it rained and you managed to get all the horses in right on time ❤️we love you in Nairobi ❤️

[@karenearly1589]

Great video Joel- I was so hoping you would show the rain! Don’t apologize for the noise the rain makes, it’s awesome! :)

[@angelabell7379]

Megan should name her fly swatter "The Lefty Stable-lizer"

[@dawnpompella8317]

Too funny!

[@irmaemerson7359]

Seeing you with Poncho reminded me of the country song Poncho and Lefty lol

[@jeandavis3705]

Joel, I see how calm you were with the horses to keep them calm. You truly take such good care of the horses, donkeys and Scoots. Your videos are informative and entertaining. Thanks.

[@terrykunst3883]

Yay, Randy! I love quick connects to around the farm.

[@April.R646]

Now that was exciting watching you trying to get the horses in before the storm. The suspense of wondering how the horses would act was crazy. Loved it! 😄

[@kens.3729]

Thunderstorms ⛈ are in extremely short supply in the Midwest this Summer. Especially horrible for ALL the Farmers.

[@patricianaughton-termini3683]

Mat and Andrew good one on both of you for stacking the hay. Did you guys find out who was walking off with Grammie's beets?

[@carolzippel5021]

Deer

[@wildchook745]

You probably need gutters for the stable so it flows towards one in and into the ditch. I love the horses and love the rain too.

[@zoeme925]

Good work with the horses!!! That was amazing rain!!! Thank you for your video:)

[@gillianmuspic2337]

well that was dramatic with the storm. Well done!

[@jangjiao1]

I'm convinced that there is a Ghost working in the stables. Those muck buckets appeared out of nowhere. And it can't be editing no way.

[@katievdbshsh757]

wow - what a down pour!! You sure had your hands full getting all horses into their stalls today. Great job- you stayed so calm. Good job. Glad your drainage worked out. Have a great day- God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon

[@roseargetsinger2217]

WILLIAM is So Handsome. I think I am in Love. His disposition is trustworthy and so Mellow. Nicest Stallion I've seen in a Long Time. . XO

[@ninas6060]

Joel, I love seeing how you cope real time with a weather event! I hope you'll show us more in the future. I live in California and we have so little rain these days. It's fun to see all the natural beauty on your channel!

[@phyllisarrington7436]

I don't know how in the world ya'll handle hay and straw in short sleeves. My arms would be broke out in red spots and itch like heck. I always wore long sleeves over my t-shirrt and of course gloves. In fact everyone I know dressed that way. Ya'll are tough 💪

[@caroldocherty6810]

I used to have a thoroughbred with the worst hooves. They cracked a lot so my farrier told me to just stand each foot in a bucket of water and then to brush on that stuff you were using as it seals the moisture into the hoof better . Also to always hose off muddy hooves as the mud dries hooves out too

[@xtender5]

Was that Grandpa up in the hayloft or was that Andrew demonstrating the power of genetics? 😂

[@joelperez-pickens6131]

Joel, thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos for us. It's so very interesting to see what all is involved in the care of horses. I just love your family, I watch you and the Veggie Boys every single day every since I saw them come across my KZbin. You guys are awesome. Hello from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

[@danielcouturier6037]

Crazy!!! I've watched it multiple times now and love the thunderstorm part... that whole wind blowing the dust down the hallway - looked like you were getting hit with a torando!

[@smckee9063]

Wild Wonderful off Grid got hit by the same storm and had Their chicken tractor, that was made on top of a solid truck frame, flip completely upside down. Killed a chicken or more and did a lot of damage to their farm. Took them a while to find their sheep and cows.

[@kimcwhite6509]

Holy cow, that was a waterfall!😳 I'm glad the horses came in. I can't imagine the damage that did to your cousin's vegetable crops☹️

[@DIYSolarandWind]

[@sandrabilyeu5894]

❣️❣️Scoots 🐕

[@tesseract42]

The muck buckets magically appearing was a cool effect. I know it probably took a bit of editing work!

[@melissabraskey4322]

Wow that was exciting to watch with the storm. Awesome timing with getting the horses in. Really cool that it happened on a day you were filming. Great job with the horses as always.

[@terrykunst3883]

Great video, action packed! Holy thunderstorms, that was a lot of rain!

[@cathycartier484]

Wow , That is a heavy downfall . Your plan , for the most part , seems to have worked and the run off didn't cause a lot of problems . So glad you finally got that much needed rain . Thanks for sharing , Joel .

[@SPAventuras]

That is some rain 🌧 I love it We live in AZ and it is so hot 🥵 we can use some rain 🌧 We love watching your videos you guys are awesome

[@wranther]

Good ole Nick Of Time, funny thing how good ole Nick just pops in From Time to Time! I wonder tho, how is Nick of Time related to From Time to Time? Cousins maybe??

[@bethgoellner6470]

Great job getting all the horses in!! Your new ditch do great considering all that water. Thanks for the video!!

[@rachelPH79]

Jealous of the thunderstorm. Up here in the PNW we don’t get very many. Just rain. Such a great channel.

[@wheaties1435]

Quick connect hoses are da bomb!

[@rmm3150]

That storm was cool. We need that down south. Great job with the horses and the hay.

[@g.s.7022]

That was a great video. This thunderstorm came in so quickly and with all its might. Joel, you are a really great how calmly you managed to keep everyone peaceful and in their right boxes even though it was getting really violent outside, wow. Great that your sweet Leja was already home so you did‘nt had to worry about her☘️💫

[@jocelynbueno6915]

Nice to see callie on your stable life she is growing fast 😊👍👍❤

[@stellacrowe3813]

That was a lot of dust coming through the stables. Great job getting the horses in . Loved seeing the girls and baby. Thank you for sharing.

[@christinast6346]

You make throwing those bails so easy! As a farm kid growing up I know how hard it is!

[@AlleyCat-1]

Loved it. Crazy how much rain was coming off the roof. Need some rain gutters for some area's. No donkey time dancing or manure time dance or excitement 😭😭 Keep up the great video's 😁😊🥰👍

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Manure day yahoooooooooooo. Where is Gavin at.Thank you Joel for the info on hook and how to seal up cracks . Do you every soak the horses feet in Ebsen salt warm water to help them with sour feet? What I heard is if a horse rolls all the way over that’s a thousand dollars and if half roll it’s half of the thousand that means that is what their worth. That is what II heard. The hottest day and very humid need a lot of water to drink have a hose to wash your faces and neck off. We need rain real bad our gardens and fields our needing it and the creeks need it. You need to put eves troughs on your stable barns and uses a wood barrow to have the down spout in the barrow then a Spicket on barrow to have is drain in the pipe doing over the hill . Try that maybe will help out.Joel did you every think of down spouts for horse barn and put a black plastic roll of holes on spout end let rain go down the pipe and over the hill.

[@grumpyoldman7948]

Randy really hooked you up with those fittings. Great job, as usual, on everything. I don't know anything about horses, but enjoy watching you work with them.

[@villaridge]

Lol, Nice..I like your pivot to action and drama. good stuff

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

You guys toss those bails around like they only weigh 5lbs, impressive.

[@toniatalley1977]

Wow! What a rain! Glad you got everyone safe and yourself as well

[@sharonhilliard3780]

Well Joel you got the rain you wanted . You really cut it close with the horses getting them in before the rain , but you made it . Maybe we will see a beautiful green pasture next time . I sure hope so..

[@jamierentko7282]

Wowser that was a crazy deluge of rain! We don’t get that here in western Washington 😜

Cheers to you.

Great video - too bad you didn't capture more of the rain. Some youtuber's actual play whole hour of just the rain falling on the roof as they work - kinda relaxing to hear it.

Great video Joel!

[@dennisreeves632]

Great to get some rain but I hope it didn't knock over the sweet corn.

[@thekingtroll2]

2nd comment, woot woot. I have my dinner just as this popped up ready to watch!! Wow, great video. 25 minutes thanks!! Wouldn't some commercial gutter on that side of the barn help stop that water damage? It could all flow to the end and lead right out to your ditch so it didn't pit all along that 60 foot path where you let the horses out.

[@leewalton3242]

I have them on my barn. Wash out was making too much work

[@thekingtroll2]

@@leewalton3242 when I was about 10 we had a 13 acre farm. on two barns we had that old galvanized spouting. Once every few years my grandfather and I would paint them with rustoleum white. God I miss that man and he died in 1985. I saw how it spooked the horses. I didn't realize hard rain made them that nervous.

[@doreenhanson2172]

[@sherryj2]

That was a crazy downfall. Glad you got rain though. I noticed how much the water trough had gone down during the day when you were getting in the big pasture horses...amazing. I am curious how do y'all make the square hay bales? I have seen the round ones but never seen the square. Just curious. Great video as always.

[@emilasmith4279]

Could you talk about how you would handle if a fire started in the barn and all the horses were in their stalls? What if no one was there?

[@AryaInk]

Rain makes me so happy....

[@BettyWhiteJr]

Ok so I’m sure I missed it either on the veggie boys or this one, because I just found y’all a couple weeks ago and I haven’t seen every video yet…but can you explain how y’all are all related? Who’s siblings, who’s cousins, etc?? Thanks for the content, it’s cool seeing how different yet similar things are up there compared to our farms here in the south 🙂

[@Wosiewose]

Of the people you saw in this video - Megan and Lauren are sisters; Megan is Joel's wife, and Lauren is married to Joel's cousin Andrew (whom you saw stacking up in the loft), and Callie is their daughter. Andrew and Matt are brothers. Joel's mom is Andrew's and Matt's dad's sister.
