Your horses behave amazingly. The fact that all you had to do was pat the one at the beginning and it just lined up is incredible

What I love about your horses is they are so calm and assured. This comes from having consistent and kind treatment from you.

In one of our videos, Leonard talks about when he got Stub and Stoney. They were wild enough that even the Amish didn't want them. After being with Leonard, Stoney was everyone's horse to learn how to ride on.

Grew up in the northeast, had a Percheron team we used all winter to spread manure, skid logs off mountain tops, haul loads in muddy fields where wheel tractors couldn’t go This brought many memories driving a team, an enjoyment most will never know.

I like the bale mover...it gets the job done. I don’t know much at all about horses but they just seem like well trained content animals happy to do their job. Thanks

Great video. I never worked with horses but always loved to watch them pull. A very well matched team.

So beautiful. They are very well trained. They are majestic. I just love to watch them work.

I just recently became a subscriber. I really enjoy these videos of the horses, cows etc. My Dad grew up using horses on my Grandpas farm. He was not overly fond of using horses, and preferred tractor power instead. He didn't talk much about that time as a kid, but he related one story where he would be out using a horse drawn cultivator, and when lunch time came, he said he could stop the horses in the field on a row, and they would be waiting for him when he returned, and hadn't moved an inch. I wish he had told me more about that time in his life. He's been gone for awhile now.

Logged with a Belgian and a Percheron. They skidded to the yard and back with no one leading them. Gentle giants. I used them single twitching unless I was cutting big pine or hardwood. Then I would team them. Getting ready to log my own property and will be using a horse. Much nicer cut than with a skidder or forwarder. Nice video.

Nice team!! Works good!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Great teamwork

What a nice video! That Bale mover looks like something that my grandfather would have made when he lived on a farm in Illinois. He was born in 1895 and lived through the depression and he was always tinkering with things. Draft horses and steam locomotives. I was clearly born in the wrong place in the wrong era

Idea for an interesting (at least for me, and I think others??) video. Please have your father in law explain how the harness works. As I understand it the tongue is basically for guidance and the Haines (??) is where the weight is pulled from. Explain how the weight is distributed across the harness and how to steer the horses. Also perhaps a breakdown on what it takes, and how long, to train a team to really work together. He seems like a very knowledgeable fellow to explain all this, as that team works together very good! Maybe an equipment tour to show off and explain the various horse powered pieces he uses?? Anyhow, these horse videos are awesome!

Love this! Beautiful horses.

Use a spring frome where your raighns are to help lift the low bar so its not pulling down on your horses. Of corse the bar dident look that heavy when u lifted it by one hand but still be nice if they dident half to have any weight to lift and only needed to pull and push back
