Great to see Baron in the woodlot, learning fast it seems. Jim, you and Brenda have added so much to your channel this past year. Nice to learn and follow your world.
The trailer does look awesome, nice job Jim. It was looking very helpful to have Erica and her team/s, there to help, glad you could let her stay awhile. Love the videos, always, thank you Brenda for the great job of filming!
Very good of Baron to control himself in front of 3 new ladies while working.
Was great to see Erika again, love all the equine skills she has and her unusual life. Jim the wagon looks beautiful!!! Have a blessed time.
Interesting life style Erica has! On the road with 3 horses by yourself can’t be an easy life. Kudos to her for being free!
Thank brenda for your hospitality and thanks Erica for the talk I could make it up to Shelburne it's only few hours away
Happy 4th....Making America Great Again...God Wins
Thank you for reminding me about the awesome tail braiding lady! This is one thing I didn't really learn well as a young'un; braiding wasn't really common with cow ponies, which predominated in the horse community way back then and there. That Argentinian tail knot is ingenious! Love it! Her horses were a real dream team, too. Your finished haywagon looks so professional; it should serve you well for quite a good many more years now. Fingers crossed for good hay weather now!
Great supportive help. True educators all round.
Nice to see what Erica can do and her horses look in very good shape. Of course Bill and Baron did a good job and Ken , always there to put in some work.
As always, a very interesting video. Hearing about your guest, Erica, lifestyle and profession was very interesting. She has beautiful horses. Watching the work happening with the horses is always very soothing to me. HAPPY 4th of JULY to you, Jim, family and Erica. 😀😀😀
Wow..how interesting was this one..thanks Brenda, Jim and Erika. GOD BLESS AMERICA..LOV from south alabama.
Erika and her horses are outstanding guest stars! Loved the demonstration of how to braid a tail up out of the way Argentine style! Baron is (as always) movie star handsome and lovely to watch in action with Chill(not really) Bill, who I think might be your coolest (though spicy) overall horse (while Ken appears to be actually the master of chill) - Thank you, always, for sharing these videos! Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Greetings from England. Enjoy your holiday tomorrow
Yes it's just another day here in the UK, glad the weather has cooler now 👋🇬🇧
Have Erika braid Baron’s main for a possible calendar picture.
Awesome idea!
Hello Jim and Brenda. Happy Fourth of July. Thank you for sharing all of your daily routine running your farm
Erica's horses are beautiful thanks for sharing happy 4th everyone
You are always busy on the farm! You work a lot! God bless you.
Happy Independence Day Brenda, Jim, Erika and families! It's a very interesting lifestyle that Erika has chosen with her beautiful horses. Although I'm sure she has her share of problems the rewards must be very appealing.
I enjoyed seeing how Jim was completing the hay wagon rebuild and it looks very sturdy. Only thing I would still like to see is his finished work on the undercarriage and the decisions he made to fit it all together. Great video, as always!
The cinamin horse with the brown head has a amazing color ❤
Thank you for the beautiful music . Jim
Music .Hmmmmm.
I was so excited to see your friend with the three draft crosses! I had two Belgian/Arab crosses, best horses ever! Fantastic riding, driving, and doing light farm work. Yay for the draft crosses!
Ok here we go with a fine job. Bill and Baron working good with eachother.
What a unique way of life God Bless her
Such magnificent lumber. I want some.
🎉happy Independence day, great work on your wagon Jim , really like Erica Braiding the Horses tailI saw the vidio she was on braiding very cool, thanks for sharing.
GOD BLESS THE USA ON THIS 4TH OF JULY !! Another beautiful video well done love it. The farm and the corn looks great. Horses are beautiful love watching them working. God bless and keep safe
Really enjoyed swingin' and swayin' with the horses as they headed through the woods. Great music!
PG here Yes, I remember the braiding manes Erika taught in your video. It was fascinating. Loved all the different footage in this video. Some more intricate. I thought I saw Baron showing off for all the new ladies!
Hi Jim, Brenda, Great video! So nice to meet Erika and her beautiful horses. So nice to be in the woods logging, and Jim, the corn is coming along great. I have to say it again you guys have a beautiful farm, Jim your new hay wagon looks great, a job well done .Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada. GOD BLESS..
Very interesting guest video.
The logging really seems to take the trot out of Barron. Thank you for sharing.
HAPPY 4TH !
Wow the wagon has a new life. Brought back to life by Jim. Many more productive years left in the wagon.
This kind of visitor, who brings her own well-trained horses and joins to do the work, should be most welcome on any horse-powered farm. But they are vey rare.
And it was another great video. You always have interesting guests. I'm sure Brenda is enjoying some woman time with this lady. Look's like Baron might be a little anxious, possibly with the other ladies being there too.
Happy 4th of July
Thank you for sharing.
Your friend seems to have a unique .
Sounds wonderful .
Really enjoyed the aerial view as the horse worked .
That working festival sounds neat .
Thank you .
Great job on the new wooden floor on the hay trailer,l can just see you,Jim,family and friends having a nice little ho down dance on it lol 😊
😃
Brenda and Jim I always enjoy seeing your videos.❤❤❤ from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Jim, you did a great job on your wagon. 👍
Always impressed with Eirik!!!
I'm surprised Baron is behaving himself with the visiting Filly and two mares around. 😉
If those mares come into season. Baron might become so polite that he would bust out of his stall and run over and breed that mare .Oh well does that mean Erika gets a free ( no stud fee) Jim . Not everyone wants to handle stallions .So if Jim does and can that's great for all the mare owners and Jim gets stud fees . I am guessing but $500 sounds reasonable to me for stud fees . My 2 uncles had stallions . One a standard bred for harness racing and the other 5 for P M U farm . I was always told stay away from the stallions a I did .
Watching you drive Bill and Baron through the recently cleared cutting I thought it might be a nice video if you could talk about how you foster regrowth. Do you transplant or do you let nature take its course? How long does it take to get the start of an ecosystem that attracts all sorts of beneficials?
Nice music during that interlude/drive in to pick up another log ! A welcome dynamic to a good video - good camera work Brenda!
You may have already answered this but how small bales of hay do you shoot for in the barn.
Jim put up 6000 small squares last year .
Great video !
Best video, thank you 😊
Fabulous video and Brenda lve waited so long to see you riding a horse on your own,and you looked amazing.On the latest news letter the picture of Bill looks like his muzzle was sunburnt.Much love dear friends ❤
Back in the day around here a lot of smaller farmers used those crossbred chunks for the dual purpose, big enough to do farmwork or skid logs, and light enough to hitch to the wagon, sleigh or democrat to run into town, or to the mill, or church etc and keep up a trot. I see the old harnesses and they are way too small for my Percherons, more for a 1200-14-- lb horse., even the old wagons had little short tongues and narrow eveners, all flimsy, etc.
Weather here has been terrible for hay! still have 50 acres to go and no good weather in sight :( Did get 7 acres of oatlage cut, baled, wrapped for the neighbour last week. The oats were over 3 ft tall and got 49 4x4 hard core bales off the 7 acres. I wish there were some draft horse events and get togethers, not showsm up here in Ontario. I have almost no interest in hitch classes and big flashy hitch horses.
Thanks for sharing this great video. Blessings to you Brenda and Jim!
Always enjoy your videos.
Home of the Brave an Land of the Free Happy Independence Day love from TEXAS ❤
What an interesting life Erica has . Great video😊
Amazing !!!
Nice video, nice Music, thanx for sharing.😃
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE GREAT VIDEO. bARON HAS MADE MY DAY....
Very nice video, loved it.😎
Have a great 4th. Love watching.
Wagon looks good!
Awesome video love it
Wagon floor looks good!!!
As soon as u said polo groom lol😅😅😅
Very beautiful horses Erika.
Happy 4th of july..i love braiding..thank you for sharing this wonderful video..
Very nice. Happy 4th of July everyone.
Enjoy the fireworks.
Ps; I really appreciate how hard you are working to get the corn past the choke stage, your almost there and it will take over, and take off.
Thank You.
Awesome!
11:24 That is an excellent alternative to docking! I just wish that was the norm in the draft horse world here in the U.S.A.
We had the advantage of a double corn crib to hold up wagons while we switched forage box and hay rack.
Have a Happy 4th with as much family as possible.
Happy 4th of July from NB Canada
Interesting video.
I remember when you met Erica at the horse "expo" a while back! Fun to have her at your place. Your cornfield looks beautiful from the air! Hope you have/had a great 4th of July!! I enjoyed this video!! 😁
Happy 4th of July😊😊😊Another interesting video.❤❤
A great video and happy 4th to you and your family
Well done! Love watching the hard work! :-)
I love watching the hard work as well blackaxe. I have no desire to ever do it again . I remember my brother and I up in the hay mow under that hot tin roof spreading out those small square bales . Miss the farm not the work .Besides I would probably have a heat stroke today .
Starting at 14:16, what is the name of the music playing…. It’s a really nice music 😊 & Jim looks really cool grooving his horses to that music 😊
Bravo Brenda on your music selection ❤
The cornfield looks good meanwhile, from the drone view. I'm not sure if it is weed in the rows or if further corn grew where the empty spots were. At least from the drone it now looks like all rows are completely full with corn plants, which would be great. In my cornfield I have a big spot with thistle, which I cut the heads with a sickle. With the weed I'm not concerned for the harvest too much but that it spreads out its seed, especially the thistle. So cutting their heads while they bloom should work fine. Have a very nice evening to you and Erika! -Chris
🤔great and as always interesting + informative 👌👀
Very special video.
Thank you All.
Super Video Skills.
You’re gracious gifting us with an invite to look at your FarmLife.
Thank You. God Is Good 🙌
Bill & Barron are so keen.
We appreciate so much what you do to allow me an 84 yr old duffer sitting in my Lazyboy with my 15" Chromebook at my elbow to experience farming, logging, weight pulling competitions etc etc etc. I think it's amazing. I keep wondering what the horses are thinking about. . .I keep thinking Jim should brief them on what they are going to be doing before they leave the barn. . .I keep thinking how confusing it must be for them [to have to] listen to Jim babble-on for the video incase he has something important for them to know like "Geeh". . . "Haah". . ."Whoa". . ."backup". . . "step-over". Love what you and your family are doing.. Signed: TD.(Marilee Too)
If Jim briefed his horses on the work they were about to do would they understand . If they did and decided they didn't want too could they not just go on strike and refuse to leave their tie stalls . That would be well not acceptable.
I laugh out loud every time the boys grab a few leaves while they're working . Just a quick question. I know Brenda does the grooming , who cleans the harnesses and how often do you clean them ?
Great Thumbnail!
Thank you for sharing, happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🙋♂️🐈🐈
American people are always so comfortable in front of a camera, just like Erika now and even Jim and he does not even like to do that 😂 you are natural performers. In our country we dive away when we see a camera or giggle and stutter. But our saying is act normal than you are crazy enough. Or dont put your head above the mowing field to stand out. American people know how to shine more 🤩
Very good friend hello🙏
Bills trying take the whole branch 😂😂😂😂😂
Happy 4th of July to you all and your familys Nice to see you again Erkia your hores are beauitful
If I could give some polite input? I don’t think music is needed in these videos. I prefer the sounds of nature, the jingling of the harnesses, Jim giving commands, and the sound of the horses working.
I live in a city and the sounds of you farm is a great escape. Sometimes I listen to your videos instead of watching them. Love your channel.
Can I also make a request to see Bree at the end of every video? Even if it’s just for a moment.
If I could give some polite input ? Your right maybe music is not needed . But I love the music ( and drone shots) . So sorry you live in a city. But why ruin these lovely videos for others on what you . want .
@@chips4974 Its only an opinion. It’s not ruined either way. The sound is just one of the reasons I love this channel. I’m just tired of peppy royalty free RUclips music and prefer the melody of nature.
I think music is required for drone shots since they make a loud buzzing.
Quetzel thank you for your opinion . It is a polite form of censorship and when does it end if viewers get to dictate content .I have to admit when Buck would fart and Brenda's reaction .It was priceless . Only on Working Horses with Jim . A tractor can't do that . Enjoy
@@chips4974 I’ve been an art and theatre teacher for many years. My artist collègues and myself see critique as helpful and not stifling. I believe Brenda was a school teacher, l’m sure she knows the benefits of gentle feedback. It’s how we learn and grow.
Quezal . There is a difference between artistic comments and trying to impose your will on Jim's videos . There is 3mins of music when he is logging and 2mins of soft music when cultivating the corn . This video is 30 mins long so you got 25 mins of your farm sounds .I don't understand why you are whinning
about a little
Bit of lovely music .Put your device on mute while the music is playing .Since you are an artistic director you should know we all have different tastes in music . Oh by the way I believe Brenda worked in the local hospital. It's Trudy( daughter) who is the school teacher. Trudy I believe has spent 7 yrs in the 3rd grade .
I think erika one of your horsrs has a double main... Yes... 🐴🐴🐴👍
Only one mane but hair does fall down both sides of the neck . No roached manes for Erika after all she braids them for income on other people's horses and can use her horses as demonstration .
Yes Jenni’s mane is unruly, I’ve given up trying to tame it. When I have my own barn I’ll roach my working horses too, I leave forelocks long.
Ah now I under stand Erika .Thank you for the info . You remind me of the auto mechanic . Who after fixing other people's cars doesn't like doing their own . . Gosh you must have tough finger and wrists .
Hi kitty I’m so glad
Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉
Jim your wagon looks great and corn field is looking wonderful. Your guest Erica and her 3 horses showing the braiding was nice to see as never seen this before. Can I ask why Baron digs at the ground with his left front leg? Enjoy your company Jim and Brenda. God bless you all..
Hi everyone - firstly Happy 4th for tomorrow, you guys! Can I ask what the orange tags are on the visiting horses? Maybe fly repellent? Hi also to your horses from my Belgian Draft cross, Bruno and me in the UK. X
I'm from the UK too...Nice we are getting cooler weather, last week was a bit too hot.👋🇬🇧
The orange tags are cattle ear tags that are supposed to repel flies, they are on a string that can break away easily.
Great job replacing wagon floor
Ps , could we get the website to your guest draft horse society . ?? .
Thank you sounds wonderful . Love to look it up .
Thank you again .
Jim, I had an tree surgeon tell me when you cut a tree down, cut an 'X' across the stump about one inch deep with your chainsaw. This will keep the stump from sprouting again and the stump will rot twice as fast. Have you heard of this and have you tried it?
Brenda great video Erica is Handy and cute also , Baron is going to be a great hitch with any one love the way he's coming along, great job on the wagon Jim happy fourth of July
Greetings from Manhattan, KS. Brenda, you really do an awesome job at filming and editing these videos. Bravo. As I always do, I enjoy watching Jim and you handling the horses. I wish I could be there with you, learning and participating in farming with horses. That has been my dream for several years, but never got the opportunity. Life took a hold of me and sent me in other directions. Any chance that you could/would be my mentor and help me to live my dream? Erika, you have a very unique talent, and you have beautiful horses. Jim, fantastic job on the Hay wagon. It looks very solid and would last for many years to come. Hope and pray that you have a safe and joyful 4th of July. My wife, Linda and I have been invited to a celebration at her church, tomorrow. They're going to have a flag raising ceremony and a breakfast I'll be wearing my Navy Whites. Linda's dream, is to raise rabbits for meat. Has anyone there in the family ever thought about doing something like that? Happy 4th, to the Gordon family. I look forward to reading any comments for you.🎆🎇
Happy 4th of July to everyone.🐎🐎🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy 4th of July everyone.
Nice video, Thanks for posting
Is Lady going to do any work this summer? Happy Independence Day!
Maybe . Lady is capable to do light work ( rake hay ) .But it's the foal can it walk along with the mare in the hay field . A small amount of time maybe .Hopefully not to hot also .I would think keeping mares and foals together until weaned would be important .( 5 or 6 months)
Wooh I thought for a second that you’re loosing your hand in the chains, be careful Jim.
Thank you for the concern Ben .Jim has been putting logging chains on for over 40 yrs. Should know what he is doing . What drives me crazy is Jim is the only one wearing a hard hat in the woods .Yes on private land and yes the likely hood of anything falling on his quests head will probably not happen . But it just looks right . I was subject to a $200 fine for no hard hat on my head .Became second nature , step out of the truck , put your hard hat on . But I was also on crown land and the government set the rules .
Happy 4th of July.
❤
👍👍
