I have been watching your videos for a long time and I absolutely enjoy them. I am originally from a farm in Japan, but currently, I live in a bustling metropolis on the west coast of California. My family worked as rice farmers on a small farm, and tirelessly plowed the fields with cows. I deeply yearn for the farm and the cherished moments I had with my family. Unfortunately, they are no longer with us. However, the farm will always be a part of who I am. Jim, you remind me of my father. Thank you.

Man am I regretting not going to horse progress days to have Jim, Brant, and Ben all in 1 location would have been incredible resource to talk to.

Well ,,I dang sure never thought I would spend 40 minutes of my life listening to a D-Ring Harness Discussion...I enjoyed it. lov from south alabama.

@@kenhurley4441 Laugh out real loud....Man ,,,seriously, I want to go to one of these Progress Days one day. It looks like a Top Notch Affair..

That is one BIG Suffolk!!! Great discussion!

Good discussion guys, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

🤔Lots of good info opinions on harness fitting D ring etc Jim/Brenda 👍

So, Jim was one of the presenters at Horse Progress Days. Neat and very deserving!

Thankyou so so much for sharing dear friends 💞👌

Your discussion shows that you do what works best for you and your team.(in your opinion) I am not a horseman but love your videos.

Hi Jim & Brenda, must say the folk at the show are real friendly and comfortable in each other’s company, great community you have there!

Thanks for sharing!!

We’re happy to see yours video today,have a great day.

Good job gentlemen. Great presentation! Thank You! God Bless. - ACD

This was a compilation of some of the best info on harnesses that you could ever find. Thank you for allowing us to view.

Interesting, nice👍👍👍👍

You could put a dozen horsemen in a room and they'll all give a different opinion on harnesses and what is the best draft horse breed . If you think about it , it's all what breed you've been trained or brought up around . Jim Gordon's opinion is correct that a good working draft horse is a good horse no matter what the breed . Jim has owned and trained Percheron , Belgian and Suffolk Punch Horses and also has cross bred some great younger horses in the last couple of years.

If you want to know how to dresses a horse asked Jim he’s a real pro on this matter.

That was a great discussion, now I truly understand the difference and why Jim prefers this style of harness. While the pair owned by the young guy fidgeted and needed someone near their heads, the old guy's big horse settled right down, waited by his boss while the talking went on. I guess being at a big event like this can make them fidget, but with time and life's experience a horse learns to trust his boss, listen in, and wait patiently, reins loose, relaxing while he can. Was that the horse Jim used to haul those big logs? He was nicely worked down. Jim's channel seems to have earned him quite a reputation, and a lot of respect, and he seems to be well able to address a crowd. Great video thanks Brenda.

the best video

Very good to watch this video..good to hear 3 n 4 different views from different horseman... a saying here in Australia is " many men many methods"... no one way is right..what works for you is good.. another is a "good horse is a good colour"... same as breed...

Nice one Jim !! Thank you👍

Lots of different opinions but I agree with Jim! I’ve never once heard Jim actually complain about one of his & Brenda’s horses. 🐴 I think Jim’s the most experienced of the speakers.

Absolutely Jim was the most experienced Horsman in the group.

What a great chat about D ring harness, I loved the fact that the guys disagreed on some things and that was fine, no arguments (what works for me might not work for you) I have said Jims comment myself, A horse is a horse is a horse. Makes sense to me. If that's the quality of the presentations, what a great couple of days you had.

❤ Thanks for taking me along.

Jim and Brenda, i love the way you care for your horses, how you treat them with kindness and care and value them. I would love to hear a talk on care of your horse and the big no no's so that people are educated on honouring the horse for the sevice they offer you, for example allowing an older horse to live and die on the land he/she worked on in retirement, showing respect and care and love for the horse, or teaching that sores are a definite big no no, and unacceptable to allow it etc so that people dont throw the horse away to kill pens, discarded and not valued once they stop earning money etc i think this message needs to be out there.

Really fun video! I don't care a hoot about harnesses, but I loved Jim and all the interactions with everyone.

What a Fun Video Jim, I recognize Schott Ames from.

That is a humongous Suffolk.

Good job explaining the d ring harness I have never used or had one I think it would take me a while to get use to one

Jie m and Brenda, I really enjoyed Jim's tutorial on the D Ring Harness , he did an excellent Q and A session. I go along with Jim's opinion on his harness set up. Also the proof is in the pudding in the timber loads that Jim skids and hauls on his wagon out off woods in Northern New York

Learning more about the Suffolks in the USA, and the club's incentives to report deaths and gelding to get the ten dollar discount on membership was a good way to keep count. I am sure there isn't a whole lot of Suffolks having semen and egg frozen for future use, probably under 20 if that. This video had a lot of good opinions and each driver/owner have their own experiences and shared them with us. Thank you Brenda and Jim!

Eerste groetjes Jan 👍

Love this commentary ❤

horse looks at the crowd. lolz

Now how do i decide? The 2 best experts on d ring harness dusagree.

I'm not finding the KZread channel for the other fella in this discussion, what is it called? And I'm really loving this channel. Partly because it's just relaxing to watch, but I am starting to drive a 4 year old 3/4 Percheron 1/4 Friesian and loving the knowledge.
