Grandpa, so sorry you lost your wife. She would be happy you found Jim's channel. I loved watching the horse pulls when I lived in Michigan but since moving to Texas they don't seem to have them here. This is fun to watch!

I grew up going to horse pulls at the Erie Co fair. Love when you have them on. I’m sorry you have issues with folks having a problem with them. I don’t think they realize the discipline involved and how well you know your animals and when or if you need to call it enough. It’s a dying sport. When I was young there were many teams competing 20+ now, if they’re even having them there are few participants. I would have loved to have seen them back at the turn of the century or 1800’s. I can picture the old farm days and the county competitions with all the farm related events whether it was domestic or farm related.

Maybe those people who don't appreciate horse pulls should watch the team (Jim included!) pull logs, or hay, or plow a field, break a snow path....They do similar actions and build muscles year round! Much better than standing around being a pasture pony in a lot with no grass. These are working horses!!!

Glad nobody got hurt when the bolt broke. Your boys are such honest pullers to come back after that. Nice to see that they were so tired afterwards that they could barely gallop around the pasture, snorting... 🤪

Getting horses ready for a Heavy horse pull not only means building physical strength and endurance but also confidence in their owner, and themselves, your horses exhibit all of these. It was great the way the competitors came to help and was willing to lone parts needed for a repair. Thanks for sharing a nice video

Ken & Bill are a great team working together, and all Jim & Brenda’s horses are loved and looked after so well. Jim is an excellent horseman, I’ve been watching every video for approx 3 years and I’m so impressed with his knowledge, a lifetime of experience, training, working logging and all their farm work. At this pull event, unfortunately some tackle/equipment failed but Jim was in total control of his horses handled them well. I see Brenda & Jim as good hard working humble people. And I say this in support of them because of some peoples opinions of pull events. I so much enjoy your sharing your farm work, a traditional way of life.

I love your horses so much... So proud of how well they do. You both take such great care of these beauties.. Even when the connectors broke.. the horses were startled, but honestly, handeled themselves well.. They calmed down quickly... Like I said in the beginning.. LOVE them. AND, both of you, too!!!!! xxoo

The horses seem to like the competition. Jim’s first concern is always his horses. Love to see them doing what they are breed for

This what the horses were bred to do.........pull. I have been watching horse pulls for over 50 years and when the team doesn't want to pull they quit. The pull was terrific and the horses were a joy to watch.

You are such a marvelous horse handler, even in an emergency! The thing I liked most about this horse pull is how you want back after dealing with an that equipment issue. Ken and Bill are in such great condition that they are a pleasure to watch.

I'm an old Farmer, bring it on!! Good Job, Jim at keeping things calm. Good Job Jim!! They deserved the double treat!!

Love your intro Although the horse pulls are not .y favorite type of video to watch. I enjoy seeing you, Brenda, and the horses. For whatever reason, I trust you to have the animals' best interests in mind so keep doing what you do. I'm here to stay

Oh we sure enjoyed watching the horse pull today. Ken and Bill did so well!!!! Thank you Brenda and Jim for bringing us all along with you, those beautiful horses seemed to enjoy it as much as we did! Brenda, I made your pie the other day, using Granny Smiths that we had at the house. Turned out absolutely delicious with some vanilla ice cream! Great recipe and thank you!!!!

Thank you Brenda for video taping the horse pull. Never knew what a horse pull was until I watched one that you did awhile ago. Love watching them now. My heart stopped when I saw Ken pull away and you had a breakdown. Glad Ken was ok and everyone else too. God bless you Jim and Brenda . Love the ending with Bill eating and Ken galloping out at the distance. 🐎🐎❤

I love the fact that you do horse pulls. It is so fun to watch horse pulls with well trained horses like yours. And the demonstration of horsemanship. Using your horses for all the things you do and then competing is a good example to everyone I think. Keep your videos coming we sure enjoy them.

Wow! What power these horses have. Ken and Bill put forth a truly honest effort. Very impressive! Good team handling Jim. Good assisting William. Ken and Bill truly earned their pasture romp this go round. I had never watched a horse pulling competition before. It was educational. The horses know when it's time to quit (reached their limits). - ACD

Ken and Bill seem to really enjoy themselves ❤

You are doing a great job of filming this event Miss Brenda

I always enjoy watching the horse pulls as well. The horses enjoy them too. I always go to the horse pulls at the local fall fairs in Ontario when we can. The teamsters always like seeing and chatting with their peers as well. Keep all your videos of the aspects of farm life coming they are all so enjoyable. Michael from Angus Ontario Canada. Wishing everyone all the very best.

Hi, You did awesome job with the boys. Thank you for showing the pull. You can see the horses love doing pulling. They wouldn't get so excited. ❤❤❤🙏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇲

Draft horses by definition are bred to do heavy hauling, farm work, logging. You can tell by Jim and Brenda’s interaction , care and attention to their stock that the health and safety of every one of their horses is their primary concern. Horse pulls can be part of their working regimen to keep them in shape.

Oh, my heart!! 😮 I'm so glad they're ok...that had to be quite a shock to Ken! But, they seemed to recove well enough. I guess it's like getting back on after falling off! Jim, i was afraid to watch horse pulls, but the time you stopped when you thought it was too much weight (in a different video) i wasnt so afraid anymore. The variety on your channel is great! 🙂

Your intro is very interesting Jim! What do the viewers think they’re watching when you’re pulling trees out of the woods? Abuse to a draft horse would be not allowing them to do what they were created to do which is to pull and work. Some of my most precious memories are standing next to my dad at the Acton Fair in Maine watching the horse and oxen pulls as a little girl. I look forward to your videos keep them coming Jim and Brenda!

Not one of them horses put his harness on and got in the trailer and hauled miles and not one of them hooked to a weighted sled, and decided it was "fun.." to try and pull an over weighted sled !!!

I remember many years ago, I went to a pull in Canton, NY. A guy came in with a team of Percheron crosses that he had been working in the woods with. He had no driving lines on them! Everything was done by voice! What a joy to see that team work!

The horses did very well and when the evner snapped they are ok. I really enjoy the diversity of jobs you do with horses. Being a Service Connected Veteran the horses seem to calm me.

My first horse pull with you all was when Abby and Trudy were the judges, the entertainment group and Jim was the winning teamsters! Loved it! That ending shot looked like a very happy horse after a day of pulling.

Great pull. I grew up watching horse pulls with my dad. He grew up working the farm with horses and loved watching them. Brings back good memories. The boys did great.

fun day,,good apples for treats and a little hay for billy bob,,,so nice of Jim to let him stop and get a mouthful

Love how these magnificent gentle giants give it their all.

The power of the horses is amazing! Very good competition. We saw horse pulls live some years ago in North Idaho at a draft horse competition near where we live. Your horses were beautifully brushed and shined for the competition.

Thx Jim clicking off not into horse pulls. Still love You, Brenda and the family.

BEAUTIFUL HARD WORKING HORSES😊 THANKS FOR SHARING 😊

Jim I admire William your Amish worker you have .He fixes barn boards , runs sawmill , catches hay bales on the wagon and builds load of hay .Now he goes to horse pulls and drops hitch like a pro . Well done William . Cheers Ps I was going to recommend William for a pay raise but then realized , " thats not my call . Well done everyone .

I appreciate a good horse pull. Jim you’re a darn good horse man and you have good true horses that know how to pull.

Homestead Horsemanship sent me- I do enjoy horse pulls, mostly because the horses seem to be enjoying themselves. I ❤ draft horses, and I look forward to watching your videos. Subscribed 👍

My husband was a horsepuller, so we really enjoy the horsepull videos.

I know a LOT of people enjoy tractor pulls. I dont. It's just machinery. But horse pulls! Well-muscled, well trained team of horses doing what they were bred for, what they were trained for, that's my jam. Keep your tractor pulls.

Great pull, nice horses. I’m 72 and have alway loved to see the big boys pull! They are very impressive. Thank you for your video. ❤

I was clapping like a fool ! Lots of fun , thanks for bringing us along !

Ken and Bill did very well. I enjoyed watching the entire horse pull.

Those horses are so beautiful! I grew up going to local house pulls and have always admired their beauty.

I love horsepulls ever since my grandpa took me to my first when I was 10 the power the horses have and the snap of the chain when they go I was hooked and now I take my daughter who is 2 and she has the look in her eyes I did

When Ken broke away, it was absolutely amazing that he is so well trained you were able to get the situation under control immediately, it sort of made me feel a little emotional when Ken came back around to his place almost immediately, he's such a good horse. Kudos to all your hard work and training.

Good job Ken & Bill , thanks for sharing this video , very exciting !!!! 🙏

My goodness the adrenaline was really pumping... me aswell as the horses and team. Beautiful Ken and Bill are worth their waight in gold and what a wonderful ending thankyou ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoy watching horse pulls when I get a chance to watch them. That's usually at area county fairs. Good job Ken and Bill. 👍

Jim takes precaution on his horses and know if is to much, and I think they know what this is all about. They seem to love this,

That was so much fun to watch! I can’t believe how strong the horses are!!! Way to go!!! Thanks for sharing this event with us. Love your channel. Horses are so so beautiful. 🥰🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

I haven’t seen a horse pull since I was a kid. I’m 70 now. This just made me smile so broad I can’t describe it. I use to tractor pulls, but my dad was raised Apostolic & grew up with nothing but work horses. His father came from Germany when he was a little boy. Just like the Amish, they grew up in little colonies(groups). They all pitched in to help each other. That was fantastic to watch!!! 😊❤

What a magnificent animal. They are so beautiful and they try their hardest. I used to live near an amish community in Iowa and would attend their horse pulls. I so enjoy seeing the power in these animals. Thank you for taking us along. Loved seeing the boys enjoying the pasture.

I watch tractor pulls, truck pulls, but when I watch horse pulls it brings a smile to my face 😊. Keep bringing it.❤

I appreciate that you gave them a good chance at that last pull. They were straight coming into it. They did awesome. Love a well trained horse that knows not to get spooked because you are there as their protector. Well done.

That was a good video. The power those horses can produce is absolutely amazing.

loved to see Ken cutting it up in the pasture and chasing cows!!!

You do not realise the power of draft horses till you see it.

I was 3 or 4 when my grandpa took me to my first horse pull. I'm almost 62 now. I remember there being so many teams that the fairgrounds had to expand the areas for the competitors.

I ramember back in the 50s when the driver would lay the whip right on them thank goodness that does not happen any more, when we lived in Vermont my wife would let me go to the horse pulls on fathers day I believe it was North Haverhill, N H we are now living in Florida on the South West coast love you both and be careful I can say that as I am 85 years young.

I so enjoyed watching the video of your horse pulls!!! Rules here in Canada are quite different. Here a pull is 14 ft, you get 2 chances per hook but it’s a continuous pull. (They don’t pull the load back and start over) Also no jerking allowed. Great to see your horses working so well together!!! I just posted a recent pull here on my page today. Wishing you continued success Jim!!!

And following Jim and his horses, there's nothing mean or bad, this is what these breeds do, you look at the condition of these horses and its amazing, its a testament to Jim and how much he cares for his horses, they are his family, and the simple fact that Jim usually pulls out that he only thinks about his horses. And all these reasons are why I started following, I'm in the riding area of horses and just love watching Jim and his wife and family and how much love they have for these beautiful horses.
