So nice to see Kenny back working he’s such a good boy ,love him . From the uk
The opening first 5 minutes were GREAT. Seeing the horses coming in - so relaxed - so beautiful.
Skippie is a very good boy! He’s young and behaves like a much older dog. You can trust him to come back and not run off like a maniac. That’s huge!
Jim it would be so interesting if you had a camera on Skippy when you are working the horses to see dogs view of things.
Seeing Ken back reminded me that last year he and Buck were a team
Life is about change. Must embrace. 😊
I thought Brenda’s interview in the last video with the young lady explaining the bones along the horses spine was excellent. She explained so well why it is important not to work a young horse too hard before his spine has developed. Something Jim has told us all along by bringing young horses along slowly. One can learn so much from this channel. Thank you very much Jim and Brenda!
I agree! I found it interesting too!
Thank you Jim . Your training method is excellent. I worked with guard dogs for five years in Toronto.😊
Good to see and hear Ken working again. Can't recall if Buck was a faster walker than Ken. It is amazing how fast we forget.
man,,,you did a good job on this one Jim.........you guys on here and Brenda and Jim have a blessed day. lov from south alabama.
I kinda knew Ken would be babysitting the youngsters in the woods this year, coacher, anchor. Jim will be able to drop is lines and do his work knowing that Ken will hold it all down.
Skippy was quite nuts, but it takes 2 or 3 years before a dog really comes into his own, he's coming along steady now.
Of course you need the slow horse to speed up! Nothing worse than dawdling horses. On the other hand, Ken's steadiness is an asset with the babies, he'll show them how to behave and survive out in the woods. Been a while since Ken worked, but he's always very ho-hum about it, never gets up fresh.
Greetings from Australia.
sitting here in north Polk county FL...sick of hearing bout Milton...glad to hear about Ken n Earl for a bit....I think some horses have higher reving motors kinda like people...your coaching prolly gets more outta Ken than others
Praying all the folks in Florida are safe from the hurricane. Between back-to-back hurricanes Helena and now Milton, Florida has had it bad. Praying for your safety. My sister-in-law lives in Naples. She said yesterday they had "battened down the hatches" and were ready for Milton as much as they could be. I'm up in northeast Tennessee were Helena did a lot of devastation. I'm safe where I live, but the flooding and wind here in northeast Tennessee, NC, and GA has been deadly. Heard last night that 1,000s are dead in NC.😪 They've even run out of body bags in some areas.
Ken’s coat is so shiny, beautiful!
I enjoy your videos tremendously, no matter what the content.
Skip is learning to enjoy life. Good to see him relax a little.
I don't have horses but have been able to train my dog to lay under what ever piece of equipment I have in the woods when I'm felling trees as soon as she hears the saw start she looks to see what I'm doing she knows it's safe when the tree is down
Jim those horses look great 👍
It is such a treat to see Ken working the woods with Jim. He does deserve his semi retirement but he is such a fun horse to see doing his thing. Thanks for sharing and I think you are doing a fine job with Skip too. He has grown and matured as he did but we all know training is a forever job. I will say I’m looking forward to seeing Lady and Bill teamed up again one day when she’s through with her Momma duties because watching those two horses working together is a sight to enjoy as well. And I was so engrossed in the horses working those logs I forgot to see what was different about Earl but I’d guess he got a new mane doo!!!:):):)
Skippy needs a reflective orange vest and collar for safety in the woods this time of year.
Good idea!
When you talked about hitting skip with the whip, it reminded me of the old guys around here. In the winter they would ride back and forth through town and to the woods on their front Bob sled, unhooking the back one and leaving it in the woods ,then either turning the swinging bunk to the side or taking in off completely. Dogs wood often chase the horses barking and bitting at their heels. The old guys would whip them dogs with the ends of their lines. They learned a quick lesson just like skip😂
I have always loved Suffolk horses. I really appreciate that you have not docket their tails. Enjoyed the whole video.❤❤❤
If I come across a video with docked tails, I am outta there pronto. Tail is a rudder, a fly swat, very necessary.
Jim, You're absolutely dead on your analogy that horses are a product of their environment . If the trainer/teamster is laid back in general the horse is easy going as well.
I have a vibrating collar for my dogs. It has helped them tremendously to listen when they are running along atv or horses to stay away from tires or horses' feet. It's loud when traveling so they can feel the vibrating collar and know I am asking them to do something or not to do something. Just an idea 💡
Dogtra collar is the best I've used!
Watch the local horse sales, you might find a decent buddy for Ken and keep 1 out of the killer market.
Love that idea 😊
Nice hair cut Earl ❤
Lobe your videos Jim so relaxing to watch
Good day from Carmanville, Newfoundland.love watching your videos.
Skippy is a great dog!!😊
Spot on about the teamster/horse temperaments reflecting each other.
I wonder if Earl is pulling more if he is a little ahead? Lovable Ken is powerful if slow and plodding. I think what you are doing with Skippy is good.
It is nice to see the woods through the seasons..
Always enjoy your "shows".
No more mane. Looks great. Good looking horses.
Good morning.
Real nice camera work Brenda!!!
Earl got his mane roached!!✂️ I'm guessing Duke did too!? It's always good to see Ken working in the timber woods! Was Buck faster than Ken or about the same speed, I can't remember? (I still miss him. He and Ken were a gorgeous team!) Glad Skippy is doing good for you if Brenda doesn't go to work with you! P.S. I would suggest you get Skippy an orange dog collar or orange sweater to wear in the woods, especially during hunting season.
Seems like Earl and Ken move faster when they are pulling the logs. But that may be an illusion. Skippy seems more well-mannered, too. Nice to see.
Sounds like Ken has you figured out Jim. Lol
Well, I do not work with workhorses. But for many years, I worked with and trained riding horses. I had this stallion in a couple of other horses who when I was in a bad mood they never ever ever did anything wrong. I knew I would get after them and they just wouldn’t do anything wrong. But when I was in a mellow mood. It would dry all kinds of things. so I think it is a matter of your horses reading and your body language on that day
Observation: Skip put his teeth on your hand/arm, I would suggest correcting that. Obviously he wasn’t being aggressive but it’s ok to set boundaries especially when your grandkids are around him. Snap your fingers, use your forefinger to poke his cheek or even put your fingers in his mouth to make it uncomfortable for him. Dog training sometimes is process of elimination as for what works and what doesn’t.
grate video man and his pals
Hi Jim,in the video where Earl or Duke had a swelling and a bump on his left shoulder. I was thinking of a horse fly bite or another big bug.you have where you live.Love your videos and how honest you😢 are about how you speak your mind.When people do not agree with you I thought your answer was perfect and if they think it's rude so be it.Have a good week and hope your farm work goes as planned.
I have a 1 year old German Shepard got at 10 weeks. I’m working with her too to get her to ride alone. But she too goes after their feet.
Well you did ask . Earl's mane got roached ( I think ) .Hard to see ? 😊😊😊
Yes, Earl's mane is cut. This is not a surprise. Now, I'm only going to be able to recognize him by the white patch on his face! Any other features that I can look for to be able to tell him apart from Duke?
Hey Jim, think like a pack leader for a trained obedient dog. Also don’t say his name when instructing him, a sound (not unlike your awesome sounds you make with your horses) will communicate with him. The spoken name only excites them, especially with young dogs, and does not exist in their natural pack animal system.
Thks for your great videos. Your horses are amazing!
Earl has found his staid or pace with Ken😅- but earl needs to be the lead horse in his mind
Jim, when you were talking about Skippy, what do you want to see, or have, in regard to a good 'Logging Dog" ?
Like walking. Some people are fast walkers and others are slow.
Earl has a big boy haircut
I worry for hyper silly Skip.
My dog Ted use to chase the horses and he got kicked and they killed him
Aerl est passé chez le coiffeur,
Did you roach Earls mane?
Pet Skippy and give him a loving hug frequently. ❤
What are your thoughts on having a wheel brake on your wagons?
earls mane is trimmed
Get a Skippy Cam
dogs pick up kinda quick
I have been frankly surprised that you concentrate so much on training for your horses but no one seemed to be trying to teach the dog any manners!
I guess I’m not very observant because I can’t tell what’s different about Earl!
