It is funny the horses know when someone else is driving and try to get away with more

That hayfield was thick with a good growth. Just listen to those knives chattering. My grandfather told me back in the fifties; "Chattering knives, thick hay."

My dad had the same experience with mules.

I grew up in the 1960's on a country road just like this one, a bit closer to Syracuse than where you are, but still totally rural, and still very rural to this day. I remember the very rare car going by ... safe for my brother and me as kids to ride bikes around in the road all afternoon, throw balls, have high-bounce contests with Super Balls, have foot races, work Tonka toy excavators in the ballast alongside the roadway thinking we were building a new road section. We even had neighbors haying in the summer, but with tractors - no horses, unfortunately. That all seems like 1,000 years ago now! Great video today.

In the 1930's my mom said her dad would hitch up the sleigh and drive to a group of cedars beside the house. Then, very quietly, he wouldclimb down and sneak her on board, tell the team to walk on and he would be out of their sight behind the cedars. Mom said this would work for a while but they would figure out it wasn't her dad driving and things would slow down considerably! Loved these old stories.

This is the time of year farmers 👩‍🌾 and their horses🐴 get to work from sun ☀️ up to sun ☀️ down.We always said on our farm making hay this late in the year was like making two crops in one. The many rains you have had has made hay making tough. Thanks.

Love this video. These kids will remember these moments for the rest of their lives. Better than any summer camp you spend money on. I remember doing stuff like this with my grandfather 57 years ago. That is a beautiful huge field you were working in. You are one hell of a dude at your age to be able to spend 6 hours out there like that. And I am sure that wasn’t the only thing you did that day. I know if I tried to do that now …… you would hear me snoring all the way in the woods the next day. You are not only making hay Jim, you are making history every day.

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim They are good memories Jim ………. Except when I was using a hay fork like a spear………. Sent it right through my foot. My grandfather who was in his late 70’s at the time carried me in his arms all the way to the house. Of course my grandmother yelled at him “what did you do to the poor child”. This was at a time in Ireland that people of that age would never think of running with you to a doctor or hospital. Granny disinfected my wound and bandaged my foot. Of course I milked the attention for a few days and never used a hay fork like that again 😀 I was only 5 years old

Good evening Jim/family,Jim you and your horses work so incredibly hard 👏👏👏👏l wish l could be there to get everything done in the stables for when you have finished at the end of a long day.l could sort all the horses,mucking out,grooming,feeding,and made sure they had water.And tend to the horses that have come in late to help you out.....lf only hahaha my dream job.All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕🇬🇧 bet you sleep well after a long day like that 💤💤💤

Thank you for showing me what you do. Via the flip camera. I grew up on a farm, way back when we used horses for everything. I am 86 years old but my memory is as sharp as a tack. Listening to the sound of the machinery is what I haven't heard for years. And seeing how you work your horses and the care you show them is beautiful. I can almost smell the fresh-cut hay. Almost. And Oh the stories I could tell you, most of them are funny and some not so funny. Life back then was hard but very rewarding. There wasn't a lot of time to get into trouble.

You must be very courageous to be cutting hay when such dark clouds are looming on the horizon. Here in Missouri with the high humidity we have when hay gets rained on it rapidly turns yellow and even red. It is always nice to see young people who want to learn how to work with horses.

I lost a boyhood friend last week. He studied at Canton and went on to Cornell to become a veterinarian. He started his big animal practice as a partner with a private vet in Lowville. He then followed his passion to teach and became an instructor at SUNY Canton, eventually being named as the dean of Veterinary Sciences and later as the acting Vice President of SUNY Canton. He went on to become President of a College in Ogdensburg, NY. Doc moved on to become a professor of Veterinary Science at SUNY Delhi all the while maintaining his veterinary practice. He will be missed. Your apprentice couldn't choose a better profession, especially if she chooses to treat large animals.

Your New Holland and Massey look so much like my dad's when I was growing up on the farm in NE Ohio. Making hay is so satisfying, rewarding and exhausting.

Hey, that's awesome! I have a cousin who grew up around large animals who started volunteering with their Vet when she was like 11 or 12 and she's now studying at NC State School of Veterinary Medicine. You all are wonderful for doing that!
