Getting 3 Horses Hitched Up To Plow
This has been an early spring so I'm starting to plow in March, the earliest ever for me.
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!

Many old timers judged a farmer’s capabilities and success on the straightness of his furrows and his corn rows.
Singles doubles and triple trees, the smell of leather and horses, and hearing clicking of shoes. So quiet is the plowing/working with horses. For those never been around a horses, the reaction side of a horses brain can hurt you. A lot of time and training goes into having a working team like Jim has. Thanks Jim for the videos, they brings back memories.
Just found you on UTube. My husband and I are seniors and are so blessed to be able to watch what you share..God bless you and family. Good job Brenda. Excited to see Lady's foal when it comes. Thanks for the lovely videos, keep them coming.
Love watching your videos
One of my grandfathers was using horses in the 50’s/early 60’s. Dad worked mules at a school farm before he was married. The horse farming culture wasn’t passed on though. Dad went with gasoline horsepower when he dairy farmed for himself. None of his large family carried on in that way of life, the small-time farmer. Good to see this history brought forward by patient, capable people. Thanks.
Love the videos Jim keep em comin

Wow, out plowing in March, that is the earliest I have ever heard, that is a real nice field. A straight start , good job. Nice plow. Thank you, all 5 of you. :-) Ps; what is the rule of thumb, 2 horses per bottom? So 2 bottom plow requires 4 horse? I suppose many variables. .
So enjoy seeing the horses plow and disk. Great video!

I have seen people work with horses but Jim seems and the horses also seem to understand each other where I have seen others just fight with the horses and it’s not so smooth as what Jim shows on his videos it’s too bad you are so far from me I would love to come out and watch him work with his horses
This is the way I have always done it, but I have changed the side checks some.
Nothing like the smell of freshly turned soil and horse sweat in the spring.
Thank you
I am amazed that you can plow already; here in Northwest Missouri it is way too wet. I like the way you have your tug-chains on the single-trees.

Were Ken and Lady born on the farm ...So, was there a time when you folks, bred horses. And if I may add, it means you are probably good at broking horses.

I only hook up three abreast for plowing and disking, tillage work.It helps some to switch the lines up, it’s been a while since I’ve done it now. Thanks for watching
You have probably been asked this many times but, do you train your horses,buy them trained or have someone else train them. I really like your videos.

I've been running the lines to the inside team and jockeys sticks to the outside but am also looking at different ways
The out side of a horse does the inside of a man good.
Just curious: I’ve asked about every feller on here who works horses, and nobody has given me an answer. Do you know what the old timers called a bridle bar? Pap and my uncles are long dead, and took a lot of the answers to my questions with them. Ye see, I retired off of the railroad, and many RR terms were carried over from horse and buggy days. RR bridle bars connect both switch points together so that they slide from 1 stock rail to the other. Would it be the bar from, say, your 3rd (the horse not hitched to the tongue) horse’s bridle to yer center horse’s collar, so that ye wouldn’t need a check line on her? Thanks for any info. from E. Tenn.

i watched your MOWING experience(jim's wife) and there was not much to it when jim took the reins- he has lots more experience with the blondes (lady and whomever)much more interesting then watching all the government agencies getting audits from socalled "press"your family has most of my attention.
