I was born 87 years ago and raised on a farm in Illinois. My Dad farmed with horses for years. I owned a team of Ponies and used them for pulling contests. So I enjoyed watching your horse pullings. I am amazed at the hard work you people do. Your way of life brings back a lot of great memories. Thank you for giving this old man something to look forward too.
This is how I grew up on the farm 77 years ago. We logged, brought in the hay, and everything with Horses. Your videos sure take me back to the good old days! Thanks!
@@dianeprince1971 I can’t imagine how many Square bales I have hauled in my day kids don’t know what hard work is anymore it’s sad I used to feel really good after our hard work
@@meandmybuddy964 If they don't have hay fever, I can think of little that would toughen up a 12-16-year-old boy more than buckin' hay bales. Turns you from a boy into a man in one season. We had a kicker bailer, so most of the labor was getting the bales from the wagon into the loft. We still had to run around picking up stray bales that missed the wagon. Kicker bailers can be temperamental. The big kids (15 and over) could throw bales. The smaller kids (14 and under) could stack them. My 1st year, I was the smallest, so they put me on the tractor or the pickup, depending on how many bales we had to pick up in the field by hand. One of the privileges of being on a farm is learning how to operate anything with a motor and wheels. There were saddle horses and cattle around, but pretty much all the farming was mechanized in the '70s.
It's kinda hard to press like when this is one of the last times I get to see Buck.😢 He was a Perfect match for Ken. 😢 I hope for another "Buck". 😊 loved seeing both of your girls driving big carts WOW. So cool ❤
That is hard work, it looks like the girls are just sitting there, but you work every muscle in your body! An all day work out! Back, abs, arms, legs!!
It was nice to see the whole family pitching in to help bring in the hay. Such a beautiful day to all be together. It does the heart good, to help one another.
My father has just turned 84. He shared this video in our family app. He remembered that his oldest brother also put the horse not straight for the cart when It was an extremily heavy load, because only 2 wheels have to be moved instead of four initialy. That got the job done and got the cart moving. So this brought back memories for him. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Shed a few happy tears..I wish I had a husband sometimes, one that loved that kind of life. I've had my farm for all my life and I've never had a man by side to share the farm life with... Sometimes I feel really sad about that, especially when I see a family unit as special as yours is.. What beautiful country life you all share together. It's a wonderful sight to behold. Love from East Texas, Annette!
Very nice. It's very kind and honest family beacause they are treating with the horses gently and more mercy and without using the whip and violence with it. Therefore I feel that the horses are very happies and comfortables. Again l very thankful for this family to that dealing with horses. Good bless and keep you.
Its nice to have family helping out, My Mom grew up on a farm in Puerto Rico , We moved in a house adjacent to our Grandparents and we had to help our grandparents with farm chores . When moved to Va my father had us help the local farmers during harvest time,, We got to know them and they got to know us. Plus they feed us great .
Back in the late 70's, I worked for an old N. Dakota rancher that had a half brother/sister team of blue roan Belgians. As mother nature had a hissyfit of a winter, including a record setting blizzard the likes of which he'd never seen in his prior 40 years of ranching, he taught me how to hitch & drive the team and his old sled. That's how we fed the cattle all winter. A GREAT experience!
Good to see the family operation.. I enjoy seeing the girls handling the horses.. We had one horse that we used in the woods.. Molly was her name. Dad cried when she got old and had to leave the farm..
This brought back many memories of working on the farm as a child. It's great to see work horses still in use today. I noticed from 3:48 to 5:00 the horses were fighting off biting flies. That explains the back legs making several attempts to shew the flies off their belly. And why the tails were swishing from side to side. They're strapped in harnesses & had limited ability to keep the flies off of themselves. We would spray the horse's to keep many of the flies off. Then wash the repellant off with cool water at the end of the day, which they loved. Even with the biting flies, the horses look very happy.
Beautiful horses, beautiful farm, beautiful summer day, beautiful girls...... what's not to like? Being and speaking as an old farmer, retired, who caught the very tail end of the horse and mule era as a child, because my grand parents kept the horses and mules for old times sake, and worked them a few days a year....... after switching to tractors and trucks even before I was born......... Well, the thing not to like is that you have to care for horses, feed them, check on them, EVERY SINGLE DAY of the year. When you don't need the tractor, you park it in the shed, and don't have to feed it with diesel or gasoline again until you need it again..... maybe weeks and sometimes even months later. And you can work the tractor twenty two hours a day......... day after day............ with two hours set aside for maintenance work..... assuming you have two beautiful girls to take turns running it, lol.
I didn't grow up on a farm but my cousins did and we visited them often. I wished that we could trade places but they laughed and said I wouldn't if I had to get up at the crack of dawn and start the daily chores. Anyway, this brings me back to what a family farm is really like with everybody pitching in. Thanks.
When I was a little kid horses, wagons and pitchforks were in use, as well as many helping hands. Then came the tractors and bailers. We got to take turns driving the tractor which gave us a break from throwing bales onto the wagon. I always liked the horses better than the tractors as they were more like us. Even sweated like us, and glad to finish at the end of the day.
Great to see family working together. That is how I was with my family in times gone long ago. Situations with family members passing has changed things.
When I was a young girl we had two quater horse Clydesdale cross gold and yellow in color Birdy and King, I loved when they worked they would focus and take verbal commands, that was a great time in my life, hard work little pay.
Your daughters will make great farmer's wives one day !! They sure know how to drive a team of horses and are not afraid of hard work !! Jim, both you and Brenda can be proud of your daughters - lending a hand whenever possible !!
Loved this video. It was so cute what Abby said about texting and driving the horses when she was younger and Jim getting on her case. Now he wants pictures and videos while she is driving the horses 😂
We would like you to know how much we look forward to your videos and love that the whole family gets involved in some of the farm projects. Thank you again and keep up the great work.
Good one.Always nice to have help from family.The girls handle things very nicely.Th camera lady did a excellent job as well.So did the skid steer guy.And the horses too.
We had a pair "Buck" and "Bubbles" that hauled our stooked hay and hand tossed bales. We logged with them but not commercially, but for logs for hunting cabins, lumber, and firewood. They were turned into retirement with free run of the farm in their late 20's enjoying life with no more harness and all the care from their human family.
Its great to still see Family values. You a caring Team there Jim. Miss Brenda had the easy job today.. Lol. camera person. She did a great job with it. Your Daughter's did too. The Horses looked so relaxed and whated to work with them.
Actually I would say Brenda had a hard job. She did a lot of running back and forth to get all this footage. Brenda has become very skilled with the camera 😀
@@ronaldfeuerstein435 No problem Ronald I know that was not what you were saying. I was just giving Brenda some credit because she always does a lot of running around to get the video shots
Cool to see the family getting together and making it work. My dad farmed in Kansas before my time I think I would enjoy it even with all the trials and tribulations
One of the most awesome things I've ever seen was an Amish girl about 10 or 12 yrs old work a team of draft horses. They had to 4 abreast. And she was standing on what might have been a harrow. I was truly awestruck! Just for reference it was almost 30yrs ago. But it was incredible.
What a Wonderful family life that you have built. Your Girls are good with the draft horses. Life the way it was meant to be. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
I love to see your girls helping you. I raised twin girls (31 yrs old now) on small farm to be the most city slicker as if they had been raised in the city. My fault because they would not know how to help if they tried. Love your videos.
Another great video, glad to see the girls helping out, makes for a good video and better yet ! some family time together. Time to mix up some Skin so soft with little water to spray the guys for the flys. thanks for another great video and for sharing.
This was great, your filming skills added to the charm of ol' timey farm work and life...I'm from Amish country in Iowa and have watched the working horses from the roads...great skills here and hard work made easier with these great work horse beasts, beautiful...!
Felicitaciones a estas hermosas mujeres por su gran trabajo junto a sus familias esto sí es hermosa familia 👪 Dios les bendiga siempre por su 😍 amor al trabajo.
I grew up .on a farm in ireland quite a while ago and i remember bringing in small bales of hay in a similar fashion with charlie our working horse this brings back so many good memories keep up the good work love the horses
Had to cut the sleeves off my working horses with Jim blue shirt! My wife told me I was trying to be Jim. It was in the upper 90’s here in MO and I had to do some bush hogging. No sleeves much better!
Man oh Man Jim has it good. Beautiful Belgians plenty of hay. Daughters that love him and help out. A nice wife that will make a little video for him. In my humble opinion the good lord has some love for Jim and maybe he for him? Best wishes to all of you!
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of a friends grandfather, he worked around our small town with horses, mowers around the area roads, nice to remember.
It's so nice to see draft horses doing the work of modern machinery. It's also reminiscent of the time when horses like these were used to do plowing and carrying bales.
Beautiful scenery 😍 the clouds above the hay bales in the field is such a calming sight. Also, I "air cheered" when you mentioned the calendar. Looking forward to it!
I'm not used to seeing all the green grass. Very purty country. The Horses seemed to like hauling hay. So nice of the Girls to come over and drive. Thanks for Sharing 🇺🇸 🐴🐴
Good evening everyone ☺ l so enjoyed this video....wish it was longerrrrrr.l felt a little envious lol,your girls are so incredibly lucky to be able to drive the horses,how l would love to.Haha Jim looked out of place in that little folk lift truck,when we are so used to seeing him with his horses.My goodness the flys are really bad aren't they,l know it drives the horses mad,do you spray them with anything! I think Jim says he dose.How lovely to see the colts,didn't one of them winny saying hello to the big boys ...that was so sweet.Thankyou so much for this video,All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕🇬🇧uk
If I knew enough about horses I could start a draft horse revolution here in Portugal. I can see all those blacksmiths opening shop again. What a pleasant dream I have on my small piece of land.
My earliest memory at 2 yrs old was holding the reins on top of the logging wagon gathering firewood with the men of the family. Grandad actually led the Shires but I pretended it was me in charge. Never lost the love of working horses some 70 years later. Still bring a lump to my throat. Cheers from Wales, UK.
Very nice family participation, all with good skills and admirable personality. The family and horses work so well together; always a pleasure to watch these videos which remind me of similar activities when I worked on farms in northwestern Illinois.
Reminds me of the good old days when everything was a much slower pace. No tractor noise or smells. Just a quiet time with the horses. I remember picking corn by hand and putting screens over the horses noses so they couldn't eat the corn as the went through the field. Tied the lines up to the wagon and just used voice command to control the team.
“Family” “dad” “girls” , “mom” …..all so refreshing to hear today with all the BS on the go. And I’m sure someone will protest something lol. Thx for the nice visuals.
Great to see this family work together ,and I love their horses! When I was a young lad I would sit and watch friends work with horses and plow with their miles!
Beautiful daughters and Wife Jim, this is so great to see the old school Horse Logging and Farming carried on. I miss the days of Horse Logging with the Amish people. My Dad worked with their Dad, so that was the connection. They used Clydesdale and Belgium, and they were impressive! They were great around the saw too, not spooky or anything... Great channel Jim ! Holla from Vermont...
I was born 87 years ago and raised on a farm in Illinois. My Dad farmed with horses for years. I owned a team of Ponies and used them for pulling contests. So I enjoyed watching your horse pullings. I am amazed at the hard work you people do. Your way of life brings back a lot of great memories. Thank you for giving this old man something to look forward too.
Pulling never needs the suffix "s."
What a great video and it is nice to see the whole family involved!! Great job everyone ❤
@@linyenchin6773 It eliminates confusion. They're not pulling the horses, after all.

Working with horses was good for the soul. It was a time when we worked with nature . I remember it well .
This is how I grew up on the farm 77 years ago. We logged, brought in the hay, and everything with Horses. Your videos sure take me back to the good old days! Thanks!
Interesting and thanks for sharing. Glad the videos bring back memories. Thanks for watching!
When will the colts be ready for harness & work ?
Except we didn't have round bales and modern equipment back then.

Now that is what I would call a farm girl both daughters can drive a fully loaded wagon and a team of horses great video great daughters .
So relaxing love seeing the girls help out in the field's beautiful country 🐎🐎👍
The horses look so healthy and robust! Love watching them happily work.
Beautiful sight. Bringing in the hay the old fashioned way. 👍👍👍
Round bales loaded with a skid steer means old fashioned to you? There isn’t a pitch fork insight.

So enjoy your daughter's helping you and working with the horses. They learned well from you
And just for 20 minutes, I forgot about the troubles of the world. Thanks for posting,loved the video👍

Grew up in a farming area. Enjoy watching the old ways. Who knew we'd be watching these on YT?
Great to watch all of that. You seem to have had just the right weather for haying all throughout the season so far.

Great job guys. Like seeing the colts in more video's. Although is seams routine to you, I'd love to see more of the prep and finish with the horses.
Great to see this family work together ,and I love their horses! When I was a young lad I would sit and watch friends work with horses and plow with their miles!

Beautiful daughters and Wife Jim, this is so great to see the old school Horse Logging and Farming carried on. I miss the days of Horse Logging with the Amish people. My Dad worked with their Dad, so that was the connection. They used Clydesdale and Belgium, and they were impressive! They were great around the saw too, not spooky or anything... Great channel Jim ! Holla from Vermont...
Thanks 👍
