    It's and absolute pleasure to watch you and the horses work like a well oiled machine while navigating through the maze of brush and timber. The horses truly like what they do and it's plain they are well in tune with you.

    From the drivers seat you can really see how well your log cart works. That tongue just floats. I can see why you haven’t needed to go to a D-Ring harness. Of course much of your success has to do with how calm and steady your horses work. Jerking and slamming cause the pole to bounce around put pressure on the collar.
    You have a good design for your needs.👍

    I know these are your "Work" horse but you take better care of your "Work" horses than some humans take care of their "pets". The bond you and all your horses share is really special. You get to work with 2 of your best friends everyday! I'm not going to lie, I'm a little jealous 😂

    ❤🎉 Awwww it's Gus and Boom with their fuzzy fluffy tails 😊.. It's funny just as you started talking about efficiency I was thinking to myself how they don't expend any wasted or extra energy, just keen hearing for your directions and their steady pace. The woods are so quiet and peaceful, this made for the perfect combination for us to hear the sounds of your cart and team. Thanks for sharing this time in the woods with the nice longer video John, it's really cool to get such a point of view..!! I gotta tell ya, when you had to take the hatchet to that vine so close to them (at least it seemed rather close..?) I held my breath a little but mostly was thinking how well they know you and how much they trust you... Very cool, thanks so much !! 🙂🐎🐎❤️🇺🇲🎄🙏🌳🌳

    His voice is so soft when he talks to his horses. Reminds me of the Bible verse "a soft answer turneth away wrath ...". Too many times in videos or when I've been to local county horse shows owners will yell and be rough with them and all they get in return is an unruly horse. So sad.

    Best long version vid to date clearly showing your skillful teamstership in a tight quarter maze. You'd have laughed if you could've heard me on this end audibly contemplating with you on how to figure out the best way to navigate a couple situations, like that little ditch. LOL AND, looks like Santa, indeed, came early with that body cam. Worked like a'charm, my dude! ;)

    Great video - horses are such good listeners and capable of such subtle movements. 'Yeah Gus, I hear ya,' I loved that! 😂💕
    Question for you - I know you have more horses besides Gus and Boom, do you use them as well or are they still in training (or maybe retired)?

    I've been watching and enjoying learning from you and your partners. Quick question, what determines whether you use a neck yoke vs. chains to hold the tongue? I've driven a bit for pleasure, but never logged. Is it the terrain or load, type of tongue or something else? Thanks for all that you share, and bringing us along on your jobs.
