Jim has been working with horses for most of his life. His father, who grew up in the logging camps was his best mentor. In 1979 Jim began logging with horses and has continued on to present day. He was born and raised in Vermont, then he and his wife Brenda moved to northern New York in 1991 after buying a farm. There they raised a family of 3 children, operated a dairy farm for about ten years and set up a small sawmill business. Now the children are grown and on their own, and the dairy cows have been replaced with a small herd of beef cows. Along with logging, Jim uses the horses to do most of the farm work. Jim enjoys taking the horses to a few pulling competitions each year. Jim's passion is working with horses to encourage them to give their best effort whatever the job might be. He hopes to share some of the insight he has picked up over the years with anyone who might share the same desire to work with horses and enjoy the simple, quiet life they afford.

Maybe lady is holding the milk back just for now?❤🎉😊
Love it! Such Beautiful draft horses!
We used two people when plowing with steers, and always started in the center of a piece. The last time I plowed with two young steers and could not keep up with them. Must be getting old at 83. ha ha.
Nice finish to the plowing!! Finishing the dead furrow nicely isn't easy on a tractor either. Great video!!!
Love to see a freshly plowed field/ garden.
You're doing grate Jim and WIlliam, your headed in the right direction with having no Experience. Having Help is a very good idea for a Beginner. This is a little like learning to Walk, you have to do it to learn how to do it. When you get some experience under your Belts in how this Waking Plow business Works Youla be able to do it alone. Have a Wonderful Day
This is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to see the garden grow! The flowers 💐 and greenhouse are exquisite❣️ You guys are so close to 100k!!! Keep plowing! (Get it?! Plowing 😂) I crack myself up 🤣
Baron's screaming at the ladies the minute he hits the ground. Keep up THAT energy Barry!
You have a great day too
Fun to watch. How many $$$ to shoe the horses. Weight of a bale of hay?
They did so well for their first time out. You’ve obviously put time and effort into their training!
To the uninitiated (like myself) it is magical how well Ken knows his job. Nod to Jim's meticulous training. The way Ken positions himself exactly in the last furrow to start the next line. So smart. What a good boi..Shout out to William who is such a a hard worker . ❤️ from 🇨🇦...
Looks like your beautiful Black Soin is busting up nicely, maybe a little damp as it is sticking to the Plow. I wish things out her in Western Colorado were as Damp. Looking like another Drout year very short on Snow as far as I can see.
William did a great job with the plough. Its not easy.
Brenda great job with the camera angles especially the one where you went above the horses necks shoeing how hard they work to pull the plow. Very cool!!
Steven guesses may 29th for lady to have her foal
Ken is one good horse !
Leonard does a great job with plowing
Good job
My Folks Had a way of Connecting the Lines, probably with a Hornes Buckel allowing for Adjustments as needed. Then they placed the Lines over one Shoulder (generally the Right Sholder and around under the Left Arm as thy were mostly Right-Handed). This way thy could hold the Lines and the Plow Handel's as needed and use Gee and Haw. One Plus I see with this is you never Drop the Lines completely. The Drawback is if the Team Spooks for some reason you might get drug a few feet before getting things under control again. Wors comes to Wors you can Bend over and put your Arms and hand Foreword and let the Lines slip off over your head. Letting your Team run away with anything is not a good idea! Raymond W.

I have an identical plow sitting on my front lawn that I plant flowers around
What a workout!!!❤❤❤
That green house being close to the garden offers protection fron the weather. If you have sudden down pours
👍🏽👍🏽
It'd probably be more efficient to be 100% mechanized, but if you're breeding draft horses, that's probably a bit of a money-maker, too, and you're getting something out of them, and training them and keeping them fit. Caring for horses is a lot of work. You don't get (m)any days off. I did a lot of work on dairy farms, but I was still a townie. Dairy farmers work their butts off.
Why is Skippy allowed to nip William in the legs?!? OH NO!!! If he’s not gonna b trained properly, even w the horses he jumps up in their faces in the fields. NO! It’s time he is gone. You wouldn’t allow your kids to act up, Skippy is no different. Extremely disappointed. 🤨🤨
Leave the dog be for heavens sake.Evetybody trying to be a professor.no harm no foul.He’s a pup and learning how to be a farm dog.Those horses are so well trained you could let a bomb off under them and they just keep on working.the trust between man and beast is there.and that’s the important thing.I’ve found over the many years that you ignore bad behaviour in a dog.Any recognition or correction just reinforces the bad.
Skippy cracks me up! The guys are working their butts off and Skippy just has to be in the middle of things! 😂
I usually spray my moldboards with red oxide primer after I get finished plowing, I’ll pressure wash them and then spray them with a good coat of primer, it keeps rust off and also comes off after one pass through the field!
That's amazing how William managed to get the two first furrows so straight and parallel. Looks like it works as fast as the sulky plow, only that it's more exhausting and you need two men. The result looks great. Have a great week! 💜-Chris
The garden looks really good. Very nice plowing job. I think I remember in the past that Jim said some horses don't like that sharp turning over and over again. Although Baron needs more of this type of plowing experience, at least he did not seem to be bothered.
Love the great job Brenda did on filming the garden plowing job. Such great shooting angles. Great video - love learning all about plowing with horses.
Why are you using a walk behind plow
He explained that at the beginning
That is NOT a stone. THAT is a boulder. My guess is 20 ton.
Skippy’s behavior seems to be getting worse around both horses and people. Please get it corrected before there’s a big problem
That is beautiful plowing .You should enter in the plowing match.❤
Looks like Skippy is nipping at William as he’s plowing
It’s hard for me to imagine how they used to pull into a 20-30 acre lot and plow it. How many days would that take?
Absolutely a great job It's all work and doesn't happen on it's own Again good job
When we finished plowing each year, we sprayed the soil off the plow and let it air dry. A can of Rustoleum painted the moldboards to prevent rust.
Horses are strong. Good. Thanks.
I found it interesting to watch Ken's disgust at first as he shoved Baron over on the turning "G". Would you like a back furrow in the middle of the garden, believe it might work better!
Watching from Lehigh ks
Awesome to see how this is done!!
Happy birthday Princess Bree Joy 🐴 one year old ❤
