Number one rule in caring for any animal.THEY NEED CARE 7 DAYS A WEEK,24 FOR HOURS A DAY!!!. Their well-being is always your responsibility. Too many animal owners never think about that before they get animals to care for. You do a very good job in showing the meaning of good animal husbandry. Thanks 😊.

The blade you used is multi functional. The side with "teeth" is for shedding as you know but the flat side we used to "scrape the sweat" after working them hard

Jim and Brenda thank you again for sharing enjoy your ways

In reference to the manure disposal you mentioned early in the video, there is an issue people should be aware of. At least around here commercial hay has often been treated with a broadleaf herbicide. The herbicide persists in the hay and is present in the manure. If that manure is used as fertilizer it will still kill broadleaf plants. I realize you do not have that problem as you harvest your own hay, but for those who do use commercial hay, be careful how you dispose of manure.

We had to learn Pennsylvania Dutch when we were home with my mother when we were children.

Your horses look amazing, thanks for taking the time to school us.

Another great tutorial Jim and Brenda. also per Dave's comment down below. I used to Deal in Hay (primarily in New York Vt, MA for purchase and delivered to lower NY CT. NJ, and the one question I always asked to a new Farmer I was buying Hay from if any spray or Chemicals were used in the growth of the Hay, A lot of the Stables I delivered to had some of the countries top most expensive show horses or race horses. And I wanted to be sure the Hay I sold was clean. good quality. and above all safe to consume. Always good to know your horse's condition and eating habits. Thanks Jim for taking the time to do this it is benicicial reminds me of a lot of things I forgot about Thank you and Brenda . and for sharing. ECF

I used a hacksaw blade on my horses as a teenager. As you said, not the first choice, but sometimes you use what you have access to. Also you have to know what you're doing. My horses loved having that loose hair stripped. I was so happy when the sweat scraper with handles came out. Much easier & safer.

Sometimes watching your videos I get really sad and melancholy....so much reminds me of my childhood growing up on a dairy farm that only had work horses. I loved that time.thank you.
