Can you tell about a horse by its HEAD??? \\ A Conversation with George

Can you tell about a horse by its head?? Today we are visiting and having a conversation with George, an old friend and long-time horse man. He is showing us around his sugar shack and farm, and sharing lots of stories!
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

Please post George explaining horse anatomy as a separate video. That was a masterclass.

[@ange1mom438]

I agree, he could teach a class on that very subject and not one person could be bored. What an interesting fella. Vet students could learn so much from George.

[@raymondwiley5799]

Icould listen to George all night

[@user-di7in2zx1c]

Jim and Brenda, Thank You so much for taking us viewers along on your visit to your friend Georges Farm in Vermont. I really enjoyed George's tutorial on making maple syrup. It was terrific !!! The consumer would have no idea on the ratio that takes an average of 43 U.S. Gallons of Sap to boil to produce 1 U.S. Gallon of Maple Syrup. Bill and Badger are a massive and wonderful team of Belgian Horses . George's theory on the parts of the horses head ring true . I remember my horse mentor Mike talking about the horse head theory . The single furrow plow looks in great condition.

[@NotKev2017]

George is a real hoot! Lots of stories he could tell too.

[@ericvogel1126]

The wisdom of long time horsemen is facinating.

[@tractordan933]

That guy is a hoot. What a nice old school sugaring set up. Love his reaction to your questioning him as if you you don't believe what he is saying, you can't fake that. Thanks Jim and Brenda.

[@betsylabutti88]

George is a quintessential Vermonter!

[@noreencullen8957]

oh George! A national treasure!

[@timrotti4149]

Thank you Jim and Brenda for introducing us to the wisdom of George.

[@loriegreene9375]

Thank you, Brenda and Jim, I learned a lot about making syrup and horses! It is great that he is passing his knowledge along to others. Thank you both for bringing us this video. 😊

[@tlg8547]

George needs his own KZbin channel lol❤

[@benzoverakers1877]

What a wealth of knowledge George is. We are blessed by your sharing!!!

[@jburch1544]

Excellent episode! Enjoyed seeing George's sugar house

[@jocelyncritch8512]

Don't forget Jim, we are going with you to

[@darrellbradley9334]

His pictures are Memories , see he knew just where they were . Good too see .

[@randysmith7292]

George is an amazing example of how learning by doing sticks with us.. and none to subtle in pointing out his "working" cap.. Good for him.. Much love and Thanks so much for Sharing

[@kevintengvall4642]

Wow! Ol George is a whirlwind, and so much knowledge, I could've have listened to him for hours, what a nice ol guy.

[@gordiesullivan3289]

Thanks so much for introducing us to George what an interesting and inspiring man,you are so blessed to know him.

[@joelgoodrum9757]

Such a wonderful man! Thanks Jim and Brenda for introducing us to George.

[@conradmorin1891]

What a wonderful, knowleagable friend that you have with George.>>>I love his young heart, as his sense of humour, and seeing the sugar shack, and evaporator, as well as the felt maple syrup filter bags, brought me so many fond memories, as my dad, my grandfather, my twin-brother and I, made our own maple syrup, maple butter, maple sugar, as maple toffee on snow, on our family farm in Mattawa, Ontario, Canada, east of North Bay, Ontario.>>>I truly enjoyed meeting George, and please pass-on my warmest regards to him, would You?

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

He was sure happy to have some visitors. 😃

[@cheryls3162]

George is a gem💎 I could listen to his stories for hours, what a sharp mind he has! And so knowledgeable about so many things. What a fun video❣️

[@bloud5196]

My dad always said a horse with a mealy nose really goes. When buying a horse he would take his hand and rub the horse between its ears and measure the distance between its ears. If the horse had a wide distance between his ears it meant he had the ability to learn. This might sound like an old tale but he had many more observations about a horse before he would purchase one. He had forgotten more about horse buying and training than anyone I ever knew.

[@kentcorbett5436]

It seems like george is a wonderful character

[@colleenmonahan3114]

Thank you for that WONDERFUL visit with George. He is so FULL of life on so many fronts. Awesome video. Look forward to seeing more sharing of visits with the generous souls in your working draft horse realm.

[@handyguy480]

Thanks you guys! What a friend he is for you. We really enjoyed this video. KC

[@loriswain8140]

George is such a great guy, so much knowledge and great stories. Thank you George you made our day.

[@gaylesmith1738]

I loved this!! He is quite a character! 😁💕 Loved all the facts about the horse! There's SO much t know. Wow!!!

[@chips4974]

Loved Georges home made cookies . Plus his handi crafts of "$10 dollars each or 2 for $20 " .Sounds like a deal too me .😊😊😊

[@randybutler4772]

Well, this is one of your most special videos you have ever shown. Really enjoyed George’s insight into horses. Can almost taste his maple sap. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴

[@LordUSABless]

Truly enjoyed your visit and this video with your dear friend George. The tour of the sugar shack and how everything works, along with his humor was wonderful. Loved the horse segment too, very interesting and informative. Thanks to all of you and God bless. 😊❤

[@DianneHealey-ul5ty]

That was a wonderful video!! 🥰. Can watch George over and over!! His knowledge is totally awesome, his knowledge should never be forgotten!! Visit again!! 🥰

[@evonnewhalen9794]

I could listen to him talk horses all day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@timminstraprs2169]

Ok, we need some more horse teachings from George. Thank you for the lovely video as always Jim and Brenda.

[@patricia.g1651]

Thank you for sharing your visit with George. He's quite a character and full of useful knowledge.

[@HensOnly]

This is a FUN field trip! This gentleman, George, is wonderful and a delight to hear his stories! I realllly enjoyed this video! Had a couple of laughs! I sure would love to sample his maple syrup! Thank you Brenda and Jim for taking us along for the trip!

[@HensOnly]

And if any our viewers can help George out in those Mason jars, donate cash OR give him a flat of jars he can use for his maple syrup business. Canning jars are hard to come by in our area since we do have a lot of canning folks.

[@JPGuay]

Loved that horse clinic ! Very generous person to share that knowledge !

[@stephaniemize321]

What an interesting man George is. He has a lot of knowledge.

[@charlesmielke9859]

Amazing video. Thanks for including us all!

[@DianeR54]

Loved hearing George share his knowledge. The world needs more men like him. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidkimmel4216]

George is a real legend. One of a kind. Lots of knowledge will be lost when he has passed.

[@ElysiaFields19]

What a wonderful friend you have in George. The world would be such a better place if everyone had a pinch of his outlook inside them. I'm sharing this video with everyone I know. George, you are my inspiration. Best classroom presentation I've ever had! 😉💞

[@billjohnston4088]

Best video I have seen. George has so much talent

[@AmandaDoll-hi4dr]

[@bobogilvie4472]

This is one of the best videos so THANK YOU BRENDA JIM AND ESPECIALLY GEORGE

[@joycehennequin8469]

Oh my goodness them AMAZING horses are like one big power house, the beauti of them l cant find the right words WOW This man is a walking encyclopedia.My head was swimming, l kept thinking take a breath please lol. Thankyou Jim and Brenda dear friends.

[@sueupham2519]

we thought of Jim and Brenda finding a motel and going back in the morning for video #2. there was so much to learn from Mr. George,.😊

[@marciahenry3893]

Thank you for sharing. To know you love horses 🐎 makes fun to hear about other talents

[@user-hu1xg8dl4z]

That was one of your finest informative videos. Can't thank you enough sad part is I see hardly anyone carrying these traditions on but the knowledge you and some of your other guest have shared are at least documented Thank you ❤ 😊

[@joqlady888]

GEORGE....just telling the truth ,,,saying things we wanna say . George I pray for longevity , health, and peace to you.

[@richardsurber8226]

Thank you George, and Thank you Jim and Brenda. Marvelous visit, and video. Hello from northern California

[@henrydeyoung7689]

What a wonderful video! If it seems at times that people in this country are acting and talking a little crazy. I suggest watching and listening to George for 45 minutes and you’ll know things are OK. George has the same passion, gentleness and love for horses as Jim.

[@territn8871]

Wow, George is an amazing man. So enjoyable learning about maple syrup and all the work involved. Then his knowledge of horses had me mesmerized! He is a very interesting man. I look forward to seeing the flowers from the seed he gave you Brenda! I agree with him about marigolds. They are by far my favorite flower to grow because they're so hardy (and smell so good)! Thanks for taking us with you to meet George!

[@johnkomosa9508]

If I had 2 horses to choose from and I looked at all of the head features.., right B4 I'd make my choice, I'd say "which one did Jim and George train?" They would point.. 'this one'..I'd say "ok, I'll take that one.". Ah ha, interesting , all those things and the information passed down through the generations, the energy horizontal in the colic out the tail is interesting, Martial art like.. So big! 1 ton plus each, a bigger horse requires more feed? A smaller horse moves better in the woods? We'll see what Jim says. Thank you George, Bill and Badger are awesome. A reflection of the Man that feeds him and cares for him. Lastly regarding the Maple Syrup, great to see , I will not get to the Badger state till May so missing the sap season. 1st week in April often the boil, one year I was home the last week of March and the trees froze, no dripping yet, so I missed the boil.. I learned from a Man now around 100 , George is mid 70's and so the tradition passed down again and again. In Alaska there is the Whaling tradition, in the northeast to Northern Midwest (Wisconsin) is the Maple Syrup Tradition. This is a rich part of us northerners our tradition. Thank you Jim George Brenda and the Horsies. 🐎. Love it, awesome to the core.

[@louisecassidy5991]

What a wonderful old character! Boundless energy and knowledge. George is a perfect example of how one can be, as a bachelor. He is clean living, organised, and free to pursue his passions. The horses are tremendous, and remind me of old Mick, in Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains in Australia. Mick liked a horse with a big Roman nose, and if he spotted a pretty horse might comment "Got a bad dish in its face". George's horses look all business, superb. No wonder maple syrup seems expensive, a lot of making goes into it. Maple is not native to Australia, no-one here does this, I never seen it before. Jim, Brenda, thanks so much for this video. Looking forward to seeing you plough up Brenda's garden with the new plough, and all the new seeds started. Oops, plow!

[@cathiwim]

I just LOVE this guy! Great instruction on what to look for in a horse! I have a 13 year old and 26 year old Morgan mares(mother and daughter) . Now i can check their jaws for sharp teeth! Hugs George!

[@tacratt6091]

George is a ball of energy! Those Belgium horses were massive, they could pull a log truck load of logs and the truck!😂

[@sherylbartlett3871]

Hi Jim & Brenda - George at the Sugar House in Vermont was fascinating......you could tell The Sugar House was his Baby! Reminds me of a glorified "Still" - don't tell George I said that! Boy Brenda.....sounds like you have a terrible cold - take care. Thank you both for the trip to meet George and learn about turning maple sap into yummy maple syrup! God bless❤.........

[@rickmeisch643]

George was a very good visit! Badger and Bill are some big good looking horses.

[@glenningram8700]

A great American !

[@timmysullivan9520]

Well done George 👏

[@martyjones9043]
