DRAFT HORSE LOGGING.... It just takes a LOT of planning!!
Hey everybody! Today we are back to logging with the draft horses and showing some of the planning involved because... it just takes a LOT of planning!! Today we have our Percheron team, Ken & Buck in the woods and we are moving to a different part of the log job!
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

No need to apologize for length of video. Love them.
i personally don't mind the longer vidoes, i just enjoy watching you work with them horses
And Brenda if the horses see Jim hooking a big log they think "Jim thinks we can do it so let's prove him right."
My granddad was a tree hugger too. He would close his eyes and hug a tree and then tell you how many board feet would be in the tree. When asked how he knew, he told people because he had talked to the tree about the harvest and it told him. He was usually right to within a hundred board feet on a contract.

I too was a tree hugger. I could sit out looking at them and once one pecan tree began to shimmer at me. I blinked and rubbed my eyes and looked again. Yup. Shimmering. I asked it what do you want? I was instantly answered. " I'm thirsty." Added drip hose. No more shimmer. Thank you tree for telling me.

I love those "old tales" !!
I love how you pace the horses and rest them…you know your horses so well.
Amazing how they are not really bothered by the running of the chainsaw. shows how Jim has been able to train them.

I noticed that, too. They didn't flinch for a second. They are obviously used to that sound !!
I have no idea why but I look at Buck and it just makes me feel nostalgic and I love the way he is going grey, lots of character, Ken is a really great looking horse too. what a team. My respect for you both Jim and Brenda as you load and unload that kit.
Love how the boys always pay very close attention to Jim!
I am really jealous of you guys, a husband and wife team out working in the forest together with your equine partners in the sun. What a beautiful life
That's a huge log for those big "ponies"😘 to pull! They do a great job though! That area is so beautiful with all the snow covered trees. Makes the black Percherons look even more beautiful all hitched up as they're dashin' through the snow!!!🥰
Ken & Buck looks like they're discussing a plan too! It is beautiful in them woods! you didn't hear me, because the saw was running, I said" Jim, you're going to pinch the saw!"
I can't believe how much weight your horses can pull. But you know how to work them. Great job
I always check out the description part. Thank you Brenda and Jim. Both of you are such honorable teachers. It's a gift and a calling. We're blessed to have you on our screens. It always makes me feel like I'm almost right there with you.
Thank you so much and I hope Brenda’s knee gets to feeling better. God Bless
Looks like the new trailer is working really well! What a beautiful day in the woods . I enjoyed this video as always 💕🐎
Dear Jim and Brenda! Thanks for downloading this video! It was right on time! Having a frustrating moment and I needed to watch my favorite… KEN!!! What an amazing horse!!!

Such an informative video today (for me !!) Once again, I salute you, Brenda !! Sore knee or not, you're there !! You could see those horses were pulling hard with all the steam coming off them at one stage !! Impressive !!
Really enjoyed being with all of you in the snowy woods thank you sooo much . respect for this proffesion.
What a great trailer! I love the sliding "man-door" or whatever it's called. Very helpful to have. Love to see tge horses' neck arch with their stylish RED blankets! You always think of your horses and take such good care of them. It shows your LOVE for them!
Always love seeing your love for one another and the life you’re living Thanks for sharing
I hope Brenda’s knee improves quickly and she finds her hard hat. What a beautiful spot and such a lovely sunny day. 👍👍😁
Jim, I pushed snow for 18 years...never plowed snow while pulling a loaded horse trailer. Lol
Jim Ein Toller Fuhrmann selten einen so guten und Gefühlvollen gesehen 😊😊!!
If you come back in the spring when the snow is gone, you might find your key. But if a raven sees it first, it will wind up in the raven's nest. Maybe if you let the college know, one of the students may find it when they are in there working. You need to learn to hot wire that skid steer. Sometimes those skid steers all use the same key.
One of your best videos. The horses and woods were BEAUTIFUL together in the new-fallen snow and the sunshine. Would make GREAT Calendar pictures.
So grateful that you took us along for this lovely day in the woods! The horses’ harnesses and bridles make them look like they are decked out for a show - the red and silver against the black coats is absolutely beautiful.

What a beautiful day! What a joy to view and spend time with all of you.
My grandfather was a logger well into his 70s! Although he was a career Army Cavalryman and farrier at Ft. Sill, OK, we didn’t have horses, unfortunately, but willing to bet he would have LOVED working with them.
Got my calendar today. Thanks. Brings back memories of when I was young and working horses and mules with my dad.
Thirty years ago my dad had a small saw as yours and he could take all the lumber possible out of a log and it wasn’t long he could estimate how much a log was in board feet. When he got lumber logs from a logger he measured which was well that he did because those loggers would tell you had more lumber than you sawed. When he showed them he too could measure they took his word then.
My family lived on my grandparents farm. We had a field and woods on another road. They had loggers come in and took logs out and they used mules to pull the logs out of the woods. They looked like they were drafts. I have never seen mules that size again.
We hope Brenda's knee gets better soon. Another great video folks. All the best
You never need to apologize for a long video. I enjoy every minute and am sad when it ends! So many times I watch it again! ♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️ 🐴 🐴 The blacks look stunning in the snow!
Beautiful scenery, so restful and such a wonderful example of the Creator's handiwork
You have had some great videos but this one beats them all.What a beautiful day to be in the woods!! The snow and sunshine ☀ are so white and bright. A perfect day to be in a beautiful woods.This is one of the things I miss about the farm I grew up on and later farmed.We had two small wood lots.I miss days on the farm that like this. Thanks 😊.
So LOVE a beautiful Winter day in the woods .. how wonderful to share horses and all with all of us, many of whom can't even go outside any old time anymore. God Bless and keep you and all your loved ones (including hairy, furry and feathered etc) safe and well and happy. Many thanks :)
Wow! Really enjoy watching Jim and Brenda work as a team logging with the team of horses. So absolutely fascinating!
Don’t worry about the length of you videos. I so look forward to seeing them and enjoying them.
I can’t wait until Jim can start workin his Suffolks in the woods! I under the 2 year olds aren’t old enough yet, but I look forward to at the very least Barron can start coming along maybe as the 3rd horse to do a little work! Thank you! Jim and Brenda for another great video!
It certainly looks lovely just watching you drive through the woods!
Beautiful day! Watching these videos makes me think of my ancestors (many carpenters and cabinetmakers) and how the wood they used would have been harvested and processed. Thank you.
What a beautiful video, with the blue sky, snow and black horses!
Greetings from the Netherlands. Trinity dairy and Working horses with Jim are my favorite relax moments for years, before I fall asleep. Very interesting as I love animals and especially horses, as well as tractors. Keep up the work and stay healthy. Adriaan de Kam
NOTHING bothers those horses! Sweet!
Your videos are never too long! I was hoping to see Ken and Buck pull out the butt log and suddenly the video was over. 😮😮 Those boys can pull. It’s going to take Barron quite a while to get in that kind of shape.
Awesome video Jim and Brenda what a nice tree , horses are awesome they really do a great job for you.
Beautiful to see how you and your horses work together
Thank you Jim and Brenda. The first day of a move is always a set up day. A little winch would help getting the cart in and out.❤❤❤❤
Love and care for the team is great! Watching the steam rise up when the horses rested indicates that the get warmed up. Can remember the smell of horse sweat from when I was younger! Great video as always.
The woods, snow and sun are beautiful! I love going on the ride with Jim and Brenda.
Lovely day in the woods, thanks for the nice video. I actually liked that Brenda got on the skid, nice view with the horses ahead. Fantastic winter day and of course working with horses, always a pleasure.
Your videos are enjoyable and relaxing. They are not too long. Thank you for sharing your lives. I grew up just north of you in Massena.

Sounds like a beautiful place, with the locks and all. Aluminum plant. Very nice.
Great to see really rough trees, a lot of sawn timber is made from these.
That blue sky was absolutely gorgeous!
Jealous of your snow and blue skies! Grey and barely freezing in southern WI. A pleasure to see you working the horses.
Indeed it’s a beautiful day. The background shots show a crisp blue sky😊
46:42 is a perfect 2024 Calendar photo!
Well the boys seems to like the new trailer. So glad everything is working out. Jim you are awesome. Brenda I know you are the one that keeps it all together.
Really enjoying the longer videos!! Keep up the great work!
It is such a pleasure to watch the horses work! Thank you for making these videos so consistently!! I was wondering how long Jim thinks it will take to train Baron, Duke, and Earl so are ready to work in the woods? A year? Two or three? Or longer?
It is so amazing to see how much they can drag. wow
Watching your videos and you said that this is longer than most people like but watching them the time goes by so quick I guess that's because Brenda and you are doing a great job
Your horses stay pretty calm with all the noise. I guess they've heard it all before. They just seem curious about what you are doing. Probably wondering why you would want two logs instead of one.
Thanks for the most enjoyable video. It was great to have you enjoying yourself and laughing at yourselves. Your concern for the horses is remarkable.
Can you do a video on how and when you got your current horses Jim and Brenda? Love your videos. 👍✌️🇨🇦❤️
Yet again another great video..always something new to learn n see..my stallion in his best..( not doing anywhere near the work you do) but on a heavy load he would stop take 3 deep breaths then 3 steps n repeat till he got it where we wanted it.. horses are just amazing...
Your new horse trailer is amazing you’ve done some really good things in there, and I bet the horses right even better and you keep everything separated with those little compartments of yours thank you have a good evening you and your family
Great video. Hope your leg gets better soon Brenda and hope you find your hard hat .
Beautiful looking pine 450 board ft . Be nice ones you get your logging road built Jim .
Thank you Jim for explaining how to use a hitch like your, I am thinking about getting a hitch for my car like your.
Thanks for the News Letter. And thanks for the video at the Saw Mill.I really liked seeing that Band mill
Excellent vid folks. I'm always dumbfounded about how much there is to being a knowledgeable teamster. Thanks Jim, for passing on all your hard earned experience. I imagine that Buck and Lady would make one peppy team. Do you ever pair them up at horse pulls?
Huge tree! So interesting to see it cut - and crash to the ground. Amazing to watch. And watching the horses dig in and pull that huge log up the hill - really neat. Thanks for taking us with you!
hello jim and brenda to be honest i could watch ur videos all the time i think its very interesting how u train the horses and the little bit i have seen and well behave the horses are
Absolutely stunning views in todays video. Perfect for a calendar 😉. I hope Brenda’s knee feels better soon.
What a beautiful setting. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴
Love the longer videos. Great job in the woods.
I love the videos I just close my eyes and listen to horses work it’s so soothing
that really is a beautiful day, clear skies and snow on the ground, I found it really interesting that you have a snow plow on your truck ( utes to us) coming from a place where we never get snow it is really an eye opener. I have no idea what it would be like working in those conditions, the closest I have come to that was when we were on holiday in Sweden and went into the woods to see moose. ( which we were lucky enough to find).
wonderful to watch you work those beautiful horses.
So interesting to watch and for some reason it is beautiful to watch❤😊makes me think of the hard working people who settled America. God Bless the USA 🇺🇸
Both of you's guys work great together. 👍
Forgive me for forgetting the horses on the rights name when you say carful step he gets low in the harness and digs in . He tries hard he loves what he does. Really fun to watch

The horse on the right. Was cute stomping his feet like he was thinking hurry up dad I’m ready to pull
If NH skidsteers are anything like bobcat there is one key that fits them all. I keep a spare in the truck. Hind sight is great! Lol. I was right on with 450 bf guess. Love the logging videos. Beautiful woods and logs.
hi Jim, Brenda, Jim, that is some tree, you just cut down!! i noticed ken, and buck, stood great while you cut the tree, with the chainsaw running. good horseman. What a day to be in the woods, with horses. great video .. thanks... GOD BLESS ...Jim Nova Scotia Canada.

Now that's a sizable tree, my goodness, and you are wise to make your horses stop ever so often. They are willing to pull through, but that could damage them.
Absolutely beautiful scenery, the trees are stunning when covered with snow A beautiful day to be in the woods.. thanks for sharing , great to see you all again .much love from dry, windy ( a brisk N/E wind creating quite a wind chill factor of 4°C )..N/E Spain.🌞🥶
Looking good you guys! Your family is such an inspiration. ♥️
