Doing Jobs Around The Farm With Draft Horses/Working With Young Percheron Gelding

We head over to Alan's Parent's farm today to see some of his Dad's daily chores he does using his Draft Horses. Leonard has 2 Percherons and a Belgian. They burn firewood for heat, so going to get firewood is an everyday chore. We follow along as Leonard goes into the woods to pull out a Balsam log he cut down the day before. The woods are a little muddier than he would like for the horses, but this was a good way to see how the trail was holding up. The horses make quick work of pulling the log out of the woods and back to the farm. Leonard has been continuing to work with his 2-year-old Percheron Gelding, Prince. Prince isn't ready to be out in the woods, so Leonard uses him to feed hay to the horses and cows. Prince is eager to learn, but he's in a bit of a hurry, so it's good for him to be learning patience. After the work is done, Leonard takes a quick weight of the horses to see how they are doing going into the colder weather.

    I enjoy the videos of Leonard and his horses. It gives me a better appreciation of how chores were done during my father's youth. Some day it was a simpler time but I think there is unappreciated effort on what it takes to harness and team the horses.

    This was a neat video. I was just a little kid when my dad and grandpa with grandpas brother would feed loose hay to about three hundred head. We would hay stacks all over the meadow. They would pull up to a stack after the gate was down and load a big load of hay. Several of them. I am ashamed to say that I let the horses take a yelling at for pulling out while they were still loading. Uncle Frank would always drive. While they were loading I wanted to see if they would pull forward if I made the same clicking sound my uncle Frank did when he wanted them to go. Guess what they did. And uncle Frank was pissed. Yelling at them and backing them up. I was scared of uncle Frank.

    They are so interesting to watch. Glad Prince has bounced back from his earlier problem and thanks so much for the update on the eagle. Hope it returns to the wild in good health. We are fairly cold today, about 8 degrees right now at 3:30 and supposed to get down to -2 tonight, but I would be willing to bet you are much colder. We had about 6 inches of wet snow that settled to about 4. What did you get with this latest storm?

    Leonard explained that yes, it is a bit of piddling around feeding the round bale out by hand, but Prince, who's only 2, needs to be worked every day while he's being trained. This way Leonard gets hay fed out and gets Prince worked. Working horses isn't at all about saving fuel, but the fact that Leonard enjoys it. There are also plenty of times that the horses can do something that a tractor can't.
