I laughed at Brenda's comment on the pair backing up to the hay wagon " their idea of a little bit and his were two different things" lol. Have a GREAT weekend!

Yes, she made me laugh too!

Ken is really a magnificent looking horse.

Brenda you are doing a great job filming!

I think the growth in the use of draft animals the last 40 years has been amazing!

Dear Brenda and Jim, You could have easily edited out getting to close to the elevator, but this is real life. How can others learn if everything is perfect? Great filming and letting us know how Baron is doing.

I love watching you back the team up to the hay wagon. Watching them side Step when you turn them amazes me. You have done a great job training them Jim. Wish I was close enough to help you fix the wagon but I am sure William will be a great help to you. If you are done haying for the year then it becomes a winter project. Be safe on your travels to the horse power show. God bless you both for the work that you do.

Ken looks so handsome after his hair cut.The barber did not offer a hot towel and pomade😂❤.That new baler makes beautyful bales.

Brenda and Jim, enjoy your well deserved mini break.

Love a big horse with a roached main. Ken carries his head so nicely

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to see these challenges. It seems even harder when you're trying to get ready to leave. As someone said, you could have edited them out but I'm so glad you didn't. We all have challenges, as you know, and it's VERY motivating and inspiring to see how you handle adversity. It's sad to see people have troubles but it helps to know we're not alone. We can take our time and come thru them.

Packing up for a road trip seems to be just as big a deal whether it's with kids or horses! 😂

I can assure you, horses are a bigger deal than kids. But at least the horses are not in your ears throughout the trip.

The dappling on Ken's coat is really beautiful right now.

Hope you all enjoy a safe and fun trip! Love seeing Ken's Kitten (KK) gracefully zip out from underfoot!

When Ken almost fell I gasped 😮

A fine piece of horsemanship. Both horses and driver😊

And yes Brenda, I gasped as well. Especially since Ken was just recovering. Glad all is well. Have a great weekend.

Incredible how the team steps and moves together almost identical.

Watching those bales going up the elevator into the hay mow is a familiar sight for me. Takes me back to farming days when i was growing up.😊

Safe travels, prayers for the horses and you.

Your horses work SO beautifully!!!

Exciting video watching Jim get wagon un-stick. Love close ups of Bill & Ken, Awesome draft horses

Black and white barn kitty wants more camera time!

Have a wonderful break,lm sure you will 😊

Those are 2 smart horses. And good looking too. Jim did a great job of getting out of a tough situation

Funny Brenda! cracked me up.

Good video, Brenda! Sometimes things just happen, but happy to see everyone handled it well even Ken & Bill. Have a GREAT time & Safe Travels. Looking forward to your video's you share a Dapnet field days!! ...God Bless

no body hurt ,horses uninjured, machinery ok all is well and fixable

I loooove all your horses but man That black one is a beauty ❤️

Looks like Jim is having a Murphey's Law day. First a beam on the hay wagon breaks, then the wagon hits the elevator 😏

Hallo Chris, hab mal auf deinem Kanal geschaut. Ich wußte gar nicht, daß es noch so schöne und ruhige Gegenden gibt in Deutschland, wo man ganz entspannt mit dem Gespann fahren kann. Bei uns ist immer alles voll von Auto und Radfahrern und Spaziergängern, mit Hund. Die Pferde haben es so schön. Hoffentlich gibt es noch keine Wölfe bei euch, aber sie werden leider kommen, falls sie noch nicht da sind. Vielleicht solltest du dir schon mal Herdenschutzhunde anschaffen? Ich hoffe, die Amishgeschirre passen. Viele Grüße 🙋‍♀️

@@uteschneider3349 Hallo Ute, danke für die nette Antwort. Ich habe wirklich eine, für deutsche Verhältnisse, noch recht ländliche und ruhige Gegend bei mir. Das ist in Oberfranken, nördliches Bayern. Im Vergleich zu den USA oder anderen solchen Ländern ist es aber selbst bei uns alles recht nah beieinander. Wölfe gibt es hier, werden regelmäßig von den Jägern gesehen. Größere Vorfälle mit Pferden gab es aber noch nicht. Ich habe den Bereich wo sich die Pferde aufhalten sehr gut eingezäunt. Die Geschirre sind noch nicht ganz fertig, da müssen noch die Kopfstücke und Leinen gemacht werden. Bisher hab ich nur ein Kumt, das mit in den Koffer gepasst hat 😊. Beste Grüße! -Chris

@@chrislittlefarm Na, da mußt du aber einen großen Koffer haben, haha. Ich drücke dir die Daumen, daß Alles passt und bald ankommt 👍🏽! Ansonsten gibt es bestimmt in Polen und Serbien, Kroatien in der Ecke noch Geschirre für Kaltblüter, denn die haben noch ein paar Kaltblüter vor dem Krieg gerettet und züchten. Mit den USA können wir uns ja nicht vergleichen, als Zwergenland.. Der Jim hat seine Ruhe und er hat das Glück, daß viele seiner Länderein direkt am Haus liegen, zumindest die Wiesen und Äcker, so habe ich jedenfalls den Eindruck. Weißt du, ob der Jim Mondhloz macht? Ich habe ihn noch nicht davon sprechen hören, bin aber erst einen Winter dabei. Dafür, daß man immer vom Wassermangel in Nordbayern hört, sieht es in deiner Ecke noch sehr grün aus. Die Wölfe gehen über 2m hohe Zäune und brauchen einen Untergrabungsschutz. Da kannst du bloß hoffen, daß sie durch die Größe der Pferde abgeschreckt werden. Bei dir reicht der Wald ja an die Koppel. Gute Gelegenheit, um deine Pferde auszuspionieren. Ein Wolf traut sich nicht dran, aber wenn ihr erst ein Rudel in der Nähe habt.... Die Wölfe üben gerne das Jagen in Koppeln, wo die Tiere nicht wegkönnen. Aber vermutlich gehen die lieber zum Schäfer, weil Schafe kleiner sind. Bei uns wurde gerade ein Wolf zum Abschuss frei gegeben.

Great video ! That sure looks like a great horse trailer.

Sure wish I could come up and meet you and the horses this weekend!!!!! hopefully next year

Seems like “stuff happens “ when you are on a tight schedule and not so much when you have lots of time. Luckily William is there. You folks are great ambassadors for the two main draft horse breeds and the Suffolk Punch. Have fun and enjoy DAPNET!!

Broken wagon beams, glad it's not me, been there more than once. Hardwood, or steel is the answer! For traveling and overnighting I made up 20 steel gate panels, they are 5 ft high by 8 ft long and have 4 rails. They have interlocking ends which can pin together to make temporary corrals. 2 always hang on the side of my horse truck as ramp fences, but if I'm setting up camp in the bush I can make a couple good sized corrals in a matter of 20 minutes. I haul my horses in a 1 ton dually with a stock box, so I can tow anything behind, forecart, implements, my tilt trailer with equipment, sleigh carriage etc, along with gates, water, round bale of hay, for a job far away where I'm setting up camp. Glad to see Ken working again. Best of luck this weekend and safe travels to and from.

Hope you have a great trip.

Looking forward to the video of your weekend! There's always alot to pack no matter who's going with you!! Lol!! Have a great trip!! 💕

Nice camera work! Just like a movie director!

Ken's neck is awesome .. all your horses are beautiful. I would love to be able to visit DAPNET in person; although cannot, I do look forward to seeing video of the doings. I am glad to hear report of Baron doing well at the veterinary facility by New Berlin. Thanks Brenda for great video, time after time. Love seeing how the kitties regularly get right in the midst of things. Please be well and safe and enjoy all the beauty of your Vermont weekend.

Havent been to Vermont since 1995 when we followed the Amerks during the Calder Cup

great video!

HELLO JIM & BRENDA THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOU'RE HORSES AND YOUR LIFE LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL

That's the way I like my haircut Ken. Nice and short.

Jim your horses are yours . Clip manes , wear blinders, use tie stalls ,water with a trough . Go to horse pulls and castrate stallions if need be . Wonderful channel .Cheers 😊

Need a picture of the hay wagon the elevator with hay going up and the horses for a calendar picture. Jesus loves you both more than you will ever know.

Hi, Jim, Brenda, Great video! Thanks for the up date on Baron! Sounds good! Have a great trip, stay safe on the road.....Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada... God Bless.

Hope all goes well! Have a good time!

What a Cinematic Photographer you are Brenda. Your stamina is terrific. I’m a quiet person, but you have me beat hands down, truly. Smiles, B

Hello, I love these beautiful and special animals, I was sad because I think the manes on horses are so beautiful, but it must have a purpose. Thank you for showing these majestic animals, so well trained and treated, I love them. hugs from Portugal

Alen King tried to start a Horsepower Fiel Day Hear in Delta County; Hope he has a wonderful success with it!

I’m pretty sure that by now that cat knows what’s up.

The boys look great with their new mare cuts!😊❤

Had to smile at the binder twine holding up the 2 x 6 on the hay wagon. I remember many times my dad and myself using it for so many things, even a quick halter for a calf. Brenda, I could hear the geese In the beginning of the video and the moon was great at the end. Thanks for sharing

Good vet news. Enjoy your trip to VT. Thank you for sharing.🐴🐴

Hope you have a great time at DAPNET. 👍👍😊

... the lord helps those who helps themselves and I mean that in good spirits, keep at it and great video , Brenda!!!

I'm so thankful Mr. Ken is back to working with Bill. How's Mr. Barron doing and felling? I miss the "B"team.

You WILL have that, on the big jobs😮

have a great t wk end break away...( I think the horses love the main shaved off,and maybe a good amount of mosquito bites from the woods. 😂

You may be able to repair the hole in your water container using plastic welding with zip cable ties and a soldering iron. There are a number of DIY videos on it on KZread

Lindo fica quieto, confia no dono 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤

When the horses have the side pass. Do they ever step on themselves. Those sharp shoes would do some damage. Especially to the coronet band.

They’ve backed that cart in so much they almost do it on their own

Jim, please give us your thoughts about trimming horse's mains; any recommendations? We value your opinion...😄😃😀👍🐴🐎🦄🦆🦜🥨🍟🥪🍰🍩🥞🧀🍔🍿

did you take the little black and white kitty, that steals the scene, to Vermont?

Fred I have read comments from viewers from around the world .Yes it is a small world .😊😊😊

Hey, Jim, random question. Why not teach your horses "just a step?" By and large you mostly don't have a lot of problems with them backing too much, or otherwise not being in a good position for you. But, there's always those relatively frequent situations where if they understood "one step" that'd be a lot easier for you than some back and forth. Training time is really precious for you though, so, I know that's not something you can do on careless whims. Just a thought. Have a great weekend this weekend! Glad Ken is doing better!

Now there memories, at the time an annoyance. 😊

How come you don't show us your help name

Why would you do this for the winter, more hair means more warmth…….?
