Hi, I really enjoy your videos. It all reminds me to my grandfather who used to do his farmwork with his 3 Belgian horses. Same as you he did a lot of horse logging in winter when there was barely no work on the farm. He organized other friends and relatives with their horses to clear the way for a section of the freeway that had to be built back in the year 1933.I still have horses but just for riding because I do not have the knowledge doing farm work with the horses. I really regret that, cause I still have horse machines for making hay, for plowing and I still have grandpa's harnishes, which I have an open eye for. I hope you keep on doing your videos and, please, take good care for your wonderful horses. Stay healthy and God bless you! Many greetings from Germany Karen

If there is a will, there is away! Awesome🙌🏼. One summer I helped my dad put up 3 crops of hay.(squares) we pulled 2 hay wracks and spaced them out in the field. Dad drove the tractor with the old “farmhand” what we called it at the time, he went around picking bales up with it, then unload them on the wrack, I stacked one layer (4) at at time so to keep even so not to break any teeth on the “farmhand” then pull both wracks by the bale elevator by the barn. I unloaded the bales and he was up in the loft stacking them. To this day I don’t know how he could do it on a hot day, it was like a oven up there! We used a team of Percheron for haying for raking until I was 10 yrs. Nothing like the smell of perked coffee served in a mason jar and fresh hay and eating fresh tea biscuits and strawberry jam! The “good old days”! Good way to stay in shape! Grew up in southern Manitoba, Canada. Hot and dry summers. Now in Alberta, wetter summers. Question: I thing I saw a loft sling/hay sling when you were up in the loft, do you use it?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

It was probably the track for the bales for the elevator you saw, and we do use that. Thanks for watching and for sharing your memories!!

We farmed with horses until I was 7 years old- went to school one day, came home and the horse were gone, and dad had bought a 1952 JD 60 with all the attachments! Makes me sad to this day when i think about the horses, Loved the horses! could you do a slow motion on how to harness a horse?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

br927 I did a video a couple weeks ago called harnessing and harrowing the garden, that I explained harnessing. Check that out and feel free to ask me questions.

[@russlong7175]

Although Belgians are my , Ken and buck sure back up nice. Catching up on the older videos.

[@desmondthornton5878]

Nice to see horses are still used

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Who helps you with all that hay ? These were a lot of bales to put up. And as always, very nice to see how well your horses stand and wait.

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Klaus, my wife helps. We put up around 6000 bales.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim My hat is off to both of you, that's a lot of hay for two people!

[@johnkomosa4089]

One football practice, hot late summer, varsity, I was dragging my butt after putting up 6k bales in the mall, my coach jumped on my case, I said " hay,, I got one speed, today, I just put up 6,000 bales, I'm going easy ..." He did not like that , and I really did not care , I was not going to faint for him. Ah ha, those hot early season practices.. wew!

[@sueupham2519]

Fast hands do much work,,, hahahaha,,,,wow what month was that rain?

[@russlong7175]

10:01:the cows say thanks Jim.

[@ionutdrg9861]

what s ur reason to use the sled and not something with wheels?

[@WorkingHorsesWithJim]

Ionut Drg it pulls harder, so it keeps them in shape during a time when work is slow.

[@johnkomosa4089]

"Alright, alright", and that folks is how it's done. Looks like it turned out to be a halfway decent day. Get that haymall cleared off, pound down the nails and play some basketball up there, ah ha. Michael Jordan used chalk on his hands, we used a little cow manure, unintentional, but I think it worked better than chalk, ah ha.
