I like Bill's whinny to Lady at 5:09 - "Hey I thought we were a team here." Great Job Jim, and Lady and Bill seem to love to work together as a team. They were each a little anxious at first having to pull separate.
Lady was pretty upset when Jim walked away with Bill and not her. She always walks with Bill.
That trophy deserves a special place on the mantel. Bill and Lady have the heart of a warrior.
I think Bill was rooting Lady on, at the 5:09 mark. And then at the 5:27 mark, Bill told Lady "Great Job"!!! Kudos to Abby for hanging in there filming all day. Great job and congratulations all around!!! Overall, I think Bill was having an easier time pulling the boat.
Lady's smart. She doesn't have to pull that much one foot farther than she needs to. Three cheers for both Lady and Bill.
Horse pulls and ox pulls were something I shared with my grandfather when I was young. He and I would pack a lunch and lawn chairs and head out, always having to be back in the late afternoon to milk the cows. Watching your horses pull reminds me of those summer days at fairs, sitting next to him and watching how each team performed, critiquing the teams, and always applauding the best teamster. Thanks for bringing back those memories from 65 years ago. Congratulations on your trophy, you really are the best.
And your young lady doing the filming and commentary did a great job, too.
I have just today discovered your channel today. I have no idea why, but seeing these horses work so eagerly and hard to get to that all important full pull makes me so emotional. Keep up the great work.
i thought it was interesting that together they pulled 15700 lbs but separately they pulled 9300?lbs ?? awesome strength!
They would have pulled a lot more together if they had the weights to put on
I loved Jim's honest answer to the question "Who do you think will win?"
I think Jim just wants each horse to do a great job and each be winners in their own right.
Both horses did really well, you can be very happy with them. In Bavaria I also participated in a good number of single horse pulls, but we did them differently: Instead of letting the horses pull a maximum weight over a short distance, we restricted it to body weight in the first round, plus 25 % in the second, if necessary added another 10% in a third. The distance was 40 m, approximately 120 feet, so it was more of an endurance pull, resembling what is required in the field or forest at times.
I have to correct myself, 40 m is exactly 133.33 feet.
Hello! Can mares pull as much as geldings or stallions? Or are they generally equal? Its a question Ive had for a while, thank you so much!
@@pedrocarrillo3048 I have seen mare pull as much as geldings or stallions, but cannot say if that was based on individual ability. Usually the muscle mass on a horse defines the pulling power, and that maybe greater with stallions in general. Geldings are a different story, there it is dependent on when they were castrated. The earlier they were castrated, the less muscular they are by nature. Of course, with all horses, no matter what their gender is, training is very important .
@@klauskarbaumer6302 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply Klaus! It helped a lot. Bless you so much and have a good day :)
@@pedrocarrillo3048 You are welcome. Have a good day yourself.
Your horses have a different kind of shine: deep good health and fitness all the way to the hair root. It doesn't come in a bottle like Showsheen. Trudy, you are going to have to start pulling. If the next generation doesn't pick it up, it will die. Your dad's horsemanship is very much on display. The horses have not wasted one iota of their energy on anything but the loads. Kudos to Lady. It takes courage to pull that second pull after getting snapped in the hocks with the single tree. I hope that didn't do damage. She is one dead honest mare, just like my little gal was. Those are worth their weight in gold. You almost get the sense that Bill is yelling "neener, neener, neener" after each pull. Just like my little gal, if you ask them to pull something, they will pull it, break the harness, or die trying. That is some real heart. Courage like that can bring me to tears, just sayin.
Trudy actually pulled Lady in a single horse pull last year! :Yes, it is sport that not many young people are involved in ( at least in our area). Thanks for watching
Your comment moved me to tears. You are right-we have lost our farming & traditions. I hope these young ladies stay in farming after their education is completed. ❤
Congratulations, Jim -- best teamster! Lady and Bill were both amazing. And I vote yes, a Lady power T-shirt would be fun.
Well done Jim that was a great video we don’t have these pulling compositions here in Scotland it looks like lots of fun but also very hard work. Again congratulations on winning best teamster
Thanks 👍
Well done, those are some Beautiful horses. I miss watching an old neighbor work his horses when I was younger, about 30 yrs ago. I love these videos please keep making them.
Thanks for watching. We will try to keep making them if people keep watching them!
Beautiful Pair, doesn’t matter which one wins. Jim your horses to be the best well mannered
Need to get the sawmill working again soon to build more shelves for all those trophy’s. Well done Team.
Hah, thanks
Jim deserved the trophy his horses were under complete control the whole time. Great Job !! Two well trained horses
absolutely love the horse pulling videos, we used to have many here in southern Illinois but most have stopped them. I am a big fan. Its no suprise that Jim won the teamsteer award.
I had the privilege of working horses for six years - so very rewarding. Love your vids!
The power that they have is so impressive. Great job Bill, Lady, and Jim
Oh, Poor Lady, she says wait for me!! It almost makes me cry!! We just got back form attending the Washington County Fair, in Greenwich, NY for 3 days!! I like the way Jim makes them stand before they pull, instead of them jumping into the harness! AND-Lady Power would be great!!
Jim and his horses are very calm at the pull as evidenced, buy Jim handling them by himself. Very calm and well trained horses. Thank for your vides. I used to raise draft ponies, but never pulled with them. I do miss them From Central Indiana
Haven't seen a horse pull in a long time last horse pull I saw was many yrs ago at our state fair. Good job to Bill and lady and Jim.
We definitely want to see “Lady Power” on your gear!
Round here the horses are all recreational except for my 2, and they're not fully trained. If I'm wearing a 'working horses with Jim' t shirt it's much easier to explain to people what I'm training for
One nice photo for calendars,,,and also trophy 🏆,,,as it is working horses with Jim,,you should be in every picture...agree?
This is great, really enjoyed watching the strength of the horses and the skill of the handlers. Congratulations on your award Jim, well deserved!
Girl power or lady power t shirts sounds like a good idea to me. It is amazing to me how much these horses can pull as individuals and as a team great video and commentary. Those horses deserved a week off i think they did insanely well. Great job Lady and Bill and Jim Congratulations on the award.
Seeing videos of you and your teams at pulls shows the difference in giving horses a job vs strictly pulling them affects their attitudes. You have a quiet horse that is listening for instruction. It's sad that so many county and local fairs have stopped pulling because of runaway team incidences. You are always quiet with your team and it really shows. They walk away from the boat just as quiet as they approached. You certainly earned that teamster trophy!
Good show. Thanks for sharing
It does not matter lady and bill are both great horses just likethe man that trained them
Yes, they are both good horses
What a heart felt performance, very very enjoyable. Great commentary
too Abby
I have always LOVED watching these stone boat competitions. The true lion hearts of the horses come out and seeing them put everything they have into 'just doing their job' is sometimes breath taking. I could consider myself a bystander (been mildly around and owned horses). I guess the spirt of my father is still in me somewhat. I grew up around men who worked in the old bush camp days. But by the time I was growing, up the legends of the logging camps was dying out. Northwestern Ontario had winter logging camps that were horse powered up until the late 60's and old home movies of the draft horses pulling the winter sleighs and my mother riding one.
As for running out of weights, I have seen it happen before. In the older days of our local farmers fair. The horses were on grass and it rained. So .... there wasn't enought concrete around. The last two teamsters didn't want to call a draw, so the more redneched of the rednecks jumped on the stone boat about 5 at a time. GREAT fun.
The best teamster trophy. Regardless of the level your animals perform at, THAT is the trophy that means the most. In the old camp logging days, it was the barn boss that ruled the camp. And the men.
Bill Lady and Jim were fantastic, and of course the rest of the family for that extra support. You all are so good togeather as a family. I thought moving to the city was the thing to do at 20, now 71 I should.of stayed on the ranch. Oh well such is life, looking to move to Santa Fe, NM and start a farm again. Stupid but I know I need to be happy. Be happy and safe in your lives.
Thanks so much, hope you can start that farm!
I’ve always liked watching horse pulls. Those horses seem excited to do their job.
That got kind of nerve wracking to watch ... what with being concerned about injuries! Not surprised that the tug broke ... and glad nothing more important than that broke! Great job, everyone! Lady and Bill deserve two days off!
Enjoyed watching the horses, and listening to the commentary. I think Jim, your trophy was spot on. I like how well your horses mind your commands to start and stop. It's definitely a goal I hope to reach some day.
Great job jim, lady and bill! Watching ur channel i already knew he was the best teamster. Jim's horses stop when he tells them to
Thanks 👍
These are magnificent animals! The power in those legs, just like a weight lifter doing a dead lift. Hope they got rewarded with a treat when they got home.
We know they would have tied, they're both full of heart!
Great team work! 👏 Three winners in my book! Looks like Bill and Lady would rather work together!😍
It makes me fell so good when my friend WINS.
Jim and Lady an Bill deserved that trophy 🏆. Well done from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Jim definitely deserved that trophy. Great pull
Good evening Jim and family,oh this was just nerve recking....lm so so proud of Bill and Lady, gosh they are so very strong.Jim you must be incredibly pleased 😀 When the harness snapped l couldn't believe my eyes 😳 all the horses are winners to me.All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕🇬🇧👏👏👏👏👏
Abby was a great commentator. This family is remarkable in how well they collectively work toward the goals of whatever activity they decide to do, no matter what the circumstances are. I’m not a fan of horse pulls, but really admire the horses and Jim’s. horsemanship. Despite the main event, Abby’s charm and good nature were the highlight for me.
Wow, this is amazing to watch. The horses are absolutely beautiful!!! And watching their legs when that weight is taken off them, their legs must feel like they're walking on air after pulling so hard. Jim has the best command of his horses, or is it called communication, or driving. I don't know, but they listen better. Go Lady, you are my champion!!
It was so cute to hear I think it was Bill, call out when lady was taken from him for her turn to pull. They do work well together. I know you do the best for these horses who work so hard for you and seem to love every minute of it. Do you do anything special after a horse pull like extra grain, or even rub down on the legs with something because of all the extra muscle exertion?
They got an apple and the next day off
I love the horse pull videos!
Awww both won...great day of pulling ,,and a well earned trophy for your team... Nice 😊
Wow Lady and bill did not like being left on the sidelines while the other one pulled. Plus some great camera work and commentary.
Without even thinking, my prediction was Lady, but then I got to thinking and thought maybe a tie. And I won't spoil it for anyone who reads the comments before watching.
Congrats on the trophy. It's certainly well deserved! 🏆 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It would be nice to see more young men and women at the horse pulls and such. I enjoy hearing romantic stories of couples celebrating 50 years of wedded bliss after meeting at a horse pull or a barn dance. That's how my aunt met her husband, may he rest in peace. He died a year ago this month after a long illness. They married around 1964. I wasn't at the wedding or the reception, being just a toddler, but I've heard the legendary story of how my aunt, in her wedding dress, got into a friendly argument with a guest at the reception who was bragging that his horse was faster than hers. She couldn't abide that kind of talk, so they had a horse race right there at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Apparently the guest had ridden his own horse to the wedding supper and had it tied up by the barn. And Aunt Sylvia didn't change into riding clothes. She raced her horse wearing her wedding dress. Uncle Ron never talked much, so I don't know what he thought of it, but he was devoted to his wife. They were a good team. May he rest in peace. P.S. Aunt Sylvia had bright red curly hair, and the horse's name was Blaze.
Wow! it's only fitting the equipment gave up before they did! What great horses! Jim truly has done a magnificent job with those horses! Always such a pleasure seeing these videos and how amazing you are with those horses and how much effort they put in for you! Thanks for sharing! p.s. Abby is always so beautiful!
You got me when you talked about "young" folks doing pulling then said "dad" is the youngest and he's old. Lol. Love your videos and lady and bill deserve a good rub down and treats. They did a fine job! Take care and be safe please!
Love seeing those horses PULL!!!
These horses are amazing! They sure love their work!
A truly enjoyable video!!!! Love watching the horses but your horsemanship is a thing of beauty. Your horses are treated the same way by you whether they are pulling logs, raking hay or at a horse pull. For me, the way you treat and handle your horses is some of the best parts of your videos.
Bill just WALKS out of all those pulls! every other horse had some serious hops
Amazing work Jim
I'll be hearing "All the way!" in my sleep.😄
Good competition Jim. You have a couple of strong horses there. Also the best behaved, you can tell that you work with them daily. Best teamster!!!
Congratulations Jim!
What a wonderful testimony of how great you take care of your babies, Thank you again Jim and family for bringing us along to watch all of the amazing pull. TGBTG
Good job Jim
Loved pulling in Westport but not in the rain congratulations
Thanks
I had the opportunity to go to a mule pull at a county fair. I was surprised when teams of mules were out outpulling what the heavy drafts had pulled the day before. I like watching horse pulls, but don't get a chance to see them very often.
Congratulations to Jim, Lady and Bill. All did a very good job.
5:09 Bill..:show'm how it's done darling
This is their time to show what they're made of and they know it 👍
Great job lady and bill ..I bet Jim's really proud of you both👏👏👏
I was on the edge of my seat! So proud of Lady and Bill.
Congratulations Jim, and the whole family. Another beautiful day at the horse pulls. Lady and Bill had me cheering at the kitchen table.
I'm thinking those two could pull that tractor backwards in gear all the way to my home on the west coast, any takers. Super Job !! Thank you much.
Great video excellent job horse did great and congrats to Jim and a wonderful job giving us the play by play thank very much take care
Good Evening from South Africa.
Good evening!
That was fun to watch, thank you for sharing it!
My wife enjoyed this video after a long work day. Kudos to horses with sense; love how they feel out the load in the woods or in competition.
And our Belgian cross answered Bills whinny
Love to see this next year 🇺🇸🇵🇪🇵🇷😎
I vote for Lady - haven't watched this yet. : ) Yes - "Lady Power" T-shirts! This was amazing!
Well deserved….best teamster award !!!!
I think Bill did better, and had thought that he would. God spoke when the gear broke. "Enough is enough, already!" Mendable, it was only the stitching showing its age. Congratulations Jim. Greetings from Australia.
I used to live next to a horse puller named Bud Ward, I believe one of his grandsons has carried on the tradition.
Good job ! Your good to those horses, that's why they work hard for you.
Awesome thanks, it's the first single horse pull I have seen.
Cindy speaking (Barry's wife ) Congratulations ! That was neat to see. I love watching the horses mannerisms for each pull. Lady Power 'All The Way' ! 👍❤ 😃
Guessing Lady. Go girl!
Bill and Lady’s bridles are beautiful.
I noticed them too, I think they are new!
no, they aren't new
Those horses are amazing...
what an amazing and noble creature the horse is. so useful to humans and majestic in stature.
agreed!
Nice driving! What is the distance on a full pull? In Michigan it’s 27’6”. I’m also impressed by the collar and button up shirt on the Teamster…he looked as professional as his horse.
Thanks, this was a 12 foot pull. Glad you liked the outfits :)
If given a choice between either best puller or best teamster, I'd prefer the last, it says a lot more about you! Congratulations!!
Lady is magnificent!
Bill is majestic.
Jim is the best!
Great job Lady and Bill.
You go Jim!!
I love these video's. Grew up in a tiny farming community and miss that life. You could see cattle and horses out half our school's windows :) I was going to pick a winner but couldnt help but notice the other comments so Im just going to enjoy watching now :)
Very good horsemanship and handling Jim sure did enjoy
This trophy belongs to you Bill and Lady they are the champions amongst champions but also Jim is a warrior
Congrats Jim. Your are a great teamster😊
Great to see these two horses doing their "thing". I was wondering if they feel a bit sore in the muscles the next day given the heavy duty work out they just did. Extra Oats for sure. :-)
Hello Team Working Horses with Jim.. great play-by-place commentary Abby. bummer about the equipment failure. Harness straps happen !
perfect those horses all worked hard
He defenitly deserves the best teamster award!
I love how eager the horses are to pull, Lady was prancing .
She's a prancer and a pawer!
Love the lady power T-shirts idea!
Both of the horses are strong and did a great job. 🐎🐎
That was awesome! Great job, Jim, Bill and Lady.
Really enjoyed! Thanks 😊
