GREAT VIDEO, I also noticed how nice n groomed your grass is around the farm. Just beautiful, so nice n clean. A well oiled operation as they say. Now, the agony of waiting for the next video. I know your busy, but it's very enjoyable to watch.😢
Thanks Dave for the update. Glad the boys are starting to settle in and get along well with the girls. Keep up the great work! ... oh and 1 day of snow, that's wild. I can imagine how everybody goes crazy when they aren't use to driving in it. It's like the first day of snow here. Everybody forgets how to drive on snowy roads. But, we have 9 months of snow and 3 months of construction (or something like that, haha).
At my opinion, your actions are "common sense" and I agree with you 100% ! You are gentler, and your horses appreciate it ! You respect them and respect their spirits, thank you. 💙💙
@@pixie706 i think most folks mean well. And you’re right, everyone has their own ways. Doesn’t mean that you have to do it that way, it’s just you do what works for you in your situation. Thank you
Good afternoon Dave, lovely to see you again.And thankyou so much for sharing.l think lve missed something! Where is Jewel she isn't in your videos.Very best wishes dear friend,Joyce ❤
@@joycehennequin8469 you have been gone for a minute? I let Jule and her teammate Becky go to a friend about 2 1/2 hours north. They were older and having some medical concerns and I wanted to focus on Jean and Grace. Becky was 15 and Jule was 18 but still a great team, they are in a good home.
@@bdradley1 Oh l see,l know you were very fond of her given the life she had,you looked after her so well and you could see she loved and trusted you.Thaxnkyou for letting me know,l appreciate it Dave.Have a fabulous weekend,l know you will being with all your baby's.
Enjoy watching your videos. I would say 10 percent of Amish dont handle colts that go to a sale especially if it is a loose colt auction. Most of the Amish I know handle meaning their colts are halter broke to lead especially like the Mt. Hope sale, Waverly sale, Topeka auction Indiana pulling bred sale. Nice video and draft horses's
@@user-qk5qk4jh3n your right but barely halter broke and unless in a stall, your going to have a hard time getting them lol thx and looking forward to spring mt hope sale. Thx for watching! Dave
Morning Dave Great Vlog. The Boy are coming along just fine. It must be a big Shock moving from farm to stock yard . And now with you. Remember Brother your horses your Rules 😂 The only time i will not watch is when the boys go for there bit doing😟 Stay Safe Brother 🤙😎
@@andrewthornton1945 yes that’s coming up this winter, I will document it but will not show it. I have to have them gelded as I can’t leave them as stallions. I understand totally. I appreciate you brother!
@@bdradley1 It's not that they have to It's the though of it lol Are you going to make the Barn bigger with two more walk in stalls. Thanks for the Shout out .🙄🤣🤣🤣
Just saw a documentary "loose horses" on RUclips it kicked my butt it follows a horse left by an owner and how that horse ends up on a killer buyer's trailer off to slaughter - it made me appreciate all u do - but i am a wreck after watching that - i believe it was filmed in montana - i contacted the maker of the documentary hoping that someone would tell me that horse somehow survived - 😢
@@princeali2555 yes that is a story that plays out every day unfortunately. It is the world in which we live and sadly there is kill buyers at almost every auction hiding in the crowd and most folks have no idea. I can’t watch those videos as it tears me up as it does you. Thank you for watching! Dave
@@bdradley1 Those Jean and Grace made me fell in love with them. Are they Freisian? Or Percheron? They are really big. Thanks for replying friend. Lots of love and affection from Kolkata, India.

They have come on so quickly good job
@@Dolly-v3q thank you!
@bdradley1 your very welcome enjoying your channel and love when people say it how it is
Love it how you have them trained just to walk into there stalls
@@Dolly-v3q it makes it so much easier and less stressful
@@bdradley1 most definitely less work if you can get them doing it that way
@ it’s just repetition , no special training on my end. I just know the end result I want and figure out a way to get them thinking the same way
@bdradley1 that's all you need to do but good job
We really loved yours videos,your horses à so beautiful

I just found your channell by chance. I Enjoyed it. Good video sir. Take care

Everyone has their own ways and reasons dealing with horses. Those who havent handled horses really should not comment but learn .

Are you going to make the Barn bigger with two more walk in stalls.
Thanks for the Shout out .🙄🤣🤣🤣
@@andrewthornton1945 we all get snipped at some point 😂😂😂
As far as barn, I haven’t gotten there yet but will do something in future possibly.
👍
Are these two saved from Amarillo Tx. direct kill pen to Mexico ? New member. Fletcher farm saves lots of older drafts from this horrible situation.

What is the age of the black beauties and these two babies?

@@anibch1 they are registered Percheron, thank you I appreciate it. Do you have many drafts in India?
Not a great fan of some Amish treatment of their horses. They took time to chop their tail bones off.
@@marionevans8687 they did indeed , I am definitely not a fan! Thx for watching , Dave
I used to be very sympathetic with Amish people but after I learn how bad they treat their horses I believe their way of live shout be stop.
There are some bad ones as well as good ones but I respect your thoughts. Thank you
The Amish are notorious for treating horses like property, use them to ruin then dump them at auction.
@@amybaker5241 very true, animals are a tool for them and nothing else. Thank you for watching
