Horse Progress Days ► horseprogressd...
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

Wherever Jim goes he finds a horse to drive and a log to pull
Great to have someone else who speaks highly of the Suffolk Punch horse.
I know several people who have Suffolk horses, and I have never heard any of them with, anything negative to say about the breed. They are as dependable as any horse you can name.
@@marionberry6909 I've owned and drove Percheron Horses for over 20 years of my life. After watching Jim Gordon working and training his 3 Suffolk Punch Geldings Baron,Earl and Duke. I'm gradually becoming a fan of the Suffolk Punch Breed . But we mustn't forget that a well trained and managed horse can be a good horse no what its breeding or cross breeding..
Brenda and Jim, Thank You both for taking us along on your trip to Horse Progress Days in Lancaster Pennsylvania . Brenda your walking tour of the grounds and all the events were terrific. Jim did very well skidding the logs from the harvesting area to the portable sawmill location . Its an amazing display of logging , milling and then building a structure of post and beam construction. The wonderful Amish Family were so hospitable and gracious to provide You and Jim with a place to stay overnight . All the Family Children in the mini wagon being drawn by the 20 year old family pony was fantastic.
Thank you Brenda for taking us around and showing what is going on. Jim and Brenda stay safe and can't wait for the next video. God bless you both 🙏 ❤
Great video Brenda! I can tell it's going to be a fun week! See you tomorrow!
So glad to hear this young man, Ben talk about having the desire to work. My 1st job on the farm paid me $0.25/hour back in mid 60s.
Ronald me too. Upstate NY dairy farm. Went to dollar in summer hay season
Similar pay for me working on the farm in the mid forties for $45/month during the summers in northwestern Illinois as a teenager. That hard work gave me the incentive to become a chemist.
In 1967 I went to work on the farm for 5$ a day. 7am to 5pm. If hay was down in the field and calling for rain. Would work till 7 pm.
Brilliant! So good to join you guys at the logging show.
I really enjoyed Ben’s clear and thoughtful answers to your interview.
Outstanding video of the skills and equipment and training to be sustainable in modern horse based farming and related rural industries. The scene reminds me of how every County Fair in America must have looked 130 years ago.
Very nice coverage of the event. Looking forward to the rest of it!
My goodness yes it looked amazing and thankyou to Jim and Brenda, wish l was there to experience this wonderful show.
Looks like a great time, be safe and be well,
Thanks,Brenda and Jim for sharing your trip off site.
This is a big do! Wonderful to see all that goes on at one huge event, and so many Amish involved, with Jim hauling logs through an Amish picnic camp! He isn't at all comfortable with the cart, can't reach his chains, not getting along with the seat either, but I reckon he's just loving driving that huge horse, and making the best of what he's got to deal with, as he always manages to do. Thank you so much Brenda, and I will very much enjoy getting a daily vid for a few days. There are Working Horses mornings for me, and the non-vid mornings are dull by comparison.
Greetings from Australia.
Great video. I really enjoyed the interview with Ben.
I used to have some miniature horses trained by Amish kids. We had a little wagon and I would do small farm chores with my mini Bill. It was so much fun. I think you guys need to get one for Brenda to do her gardening and for the grandkids (and for us too) 😊.
my goodness I have enjoyed every second . How great this is ..WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. LOV from South Alabama.
Could not have said it better 😊😊
Excellent coverage. Lots of Amish which is a great thing!

I like Ben's smile ... or his half-laugh when he explains things ... it just just makes us like the guy.
So many interesting things to see! My favorites: Jason's 2210 lb horse; learning about logging in Kentucky from Ken; seeing the tree trunks planted in the ground ("Log-henge") for demonstrations; watching the chainsaw demonstration (I did say "Timber"!). So much more to look forward to, like seeing the timber structure being built, more beautiful working horses, and meeting more working horse enthusiasts. Having a great time tagging along with your video!
oops, BEN, not Ken!
Ben is so right the work ethic of today is vastly different. Everywhere I go from a fast food or regular restaurant, hair dresser, stores they are all having trouble getting and keeping help. The Amish are great people and their work values and craftsmanship is amazing!
@cheryls3162 - Yes, I agree. We are a 3rd generation working farm in Central ⛵⛵Lakes Region New Hampshire. Grass fed beef, commercial hay and logging. We three family members are all 70- something and doing the work. that is deemed too hard these days.
The trade off is we get to enjoy living on the land and by our own hand. Mother Nature is our time clock. We move with the seasons.
There is plenty of wood to heat our homes along with organic garden produce. For us, it doesn't get any better, utilizing the " best of 1940 rural NH" and the " best of 2024". I do love my Kitchen Aid stand mixer and Instant Pot, but can make bread from scratch and get by living off-grid if necessary. Best of both 💻🚜 🌐 worlds ~ Diane
Nice, thanks for the tour and behind the scenes deal. I've seen videos in the past, but always new equipment, it's great to see what goes on just trying to get ready to show. Thanks so much.
So cool! Thank you for taking us with you! 🌻
Lovely viewing.....enjoy yourselves ❤
Awesome video Brenda loved it stay cool 👍
Fascinating video! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing. God Bless. - ACD
How does Jim like driving someone else’s horses.this look like a pretty big event.great video.
It was so nice meeting you Jim! I hope you enjoyed your time in Lancaster county :)
Thanks for taking us along. Wish I could of been there
How l wish l was there, it looked like such an AMAZING SHOW right up my street.l would've happily stayed for the whole duration....luck you,very best wishes dear friends.
Love Ben's thoughts. There are plenty that enjoy working hard myself included. Looked like a great show wish I had the time to get down there thank you for filming it.
In 1989 on my first explorative trip to the US from Germany I had the great honor and pleasure to visit the farm of Elmar Lapp near Kinzers, PA for a few days. Elmar was one of the founders of the Horse Progress Days. Elmar Lapp and Maurice Telleen, the founder of the Draft Horse Journal sent me to all the places which convinced me to leave Germany and become part of the draft horse world in the US. Unfortunately I never attended the Horse Progress Days, because I live too far from the sites and am not a traveler, but a home buddy. But your video reminds me of what I missed. Especially meeting great horse people!
Looks like lots of fun. My family is antique tractor and engine people, but the folks and community is very similar here by me.
Brenda, I enjoyed your interview and agree with what the gentleman (Ben) said that our society today tries to rise above work but we are here to work, to steward the land. I pray young people today will learn this valuable work ethic. Kathy from Indiana
I am glad you are taking us with you. I went several years ago and had a blast
Really fun to come along!!❤
This is awesome thanks
Wow ! That looks like it’s great fun for kids and educational for adults.
I think Jim would need Bill to pull that optical illusion. Lol
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's great 👍
Good time Jim and Brenda

Thank you, Jim and Brenda, for the great tour of the event.
Thank You Brenda.
Nice one Brenda👍
It was nice to finally get to meet you both in person
I think those portable saw mills do a great job. The portable saw mill was invented in lafayette indiana . I knew the guy who invented the wood mizer .
Thanks for taking us along!! Jim, how did it feel to handle someone else's horse?
Great video, have fun and keep cool everyone. 😎
This is such an interesting event. Thanks for bringing us along‼️🙋🏻♀️✌️

I've always wanted to go to Horse Progresso Days but I t never works out. 😔
Even more sad I could.have met my favorite you tube people!😢
Printaboul = Gaëtan (Quebec city)
Brenda: the discussion you had with M. Burgess was very, I mean, very interesting. One point that did grab my attention is when he said « ... you got to love to work..» That brang me to a thought that often comes to mind. «.. Is there horses that don't like to work .. and others that seem to be happy when you put the collar on them. I didn't like the job that I was doing for the last 28 years before I retired, and one of the things that I was telling myself was ... Well, you're harnessed ... so pull Gaëtan, and since I stared to watch your videos, I sometimes tell to myself ...« Gee, wouldn't be awfull if a horse hated to work.
Guys like Jim and Ben ...Do they perceive things in their horses that we don't ... probably, but ... I mean ... really perceive to a point that we would be very surprise ... ??
Great show, Thanks a million ... bof ... make it a trillion.
Jim Brenda that looks like a great times with many things going on there at your event
I was sorry to miss getting there and meeting you both. Looks like a great time
Thanks for sharing! ❤
A5 11:10 he said we are here to work. I love that . Work is not a curse. God put Adam in the garden to work it. Great words
Thanks for taking us along on this. You said that the guy with the green sawmill. Makes them. How can I get his information
Thanks again
Jon
Hello Mrs Jim. You must be Brenda looking at the comments. Your voice is amazing and calming. Does sally fields have the same accent? She has a beautiful too
I would have liked to have been there.
Fun times!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Amazing days
PG here! So enjoyable! I tried to get my family to go to DAPNET FIELD DAYS in Sept. 2024. Draft Animal Power Field Days 2022!! (PART 1) // FARMING with Draft Animals. But I think we will end up in Arizonia. Our calling is faith in God for the restoration of our Sovereignity as a Christian Nation, Royal Preisthood. That means we need a kingdom, which means we need Coonstitutional Money. Our own Money, Honest Money. "Gold and silver coins." WeARE NOT A COUNTRY, not obeying God, no blessings, WITHOUT GOLD AND SILVER COINS. WE ARE JUST SLAVES NOT FREEMEN. Horses are also a part of repairers of the ruin homestead, restorers of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Hapiness, Isaiah 58. Isaiah 58:12, which says, "And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations, and thou shalt be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Paths to dwell in"
Very nice video thanks
Lovely to see the Progress days.. sad to see the big Suffolk horse that Jim was using...sad cause the true Suffolk I believe isnt that tall..they are a short nuggety horse.. please dont let your countrymen breed "big" Suffolks...keep them true..they are a rare breed
Did you stop at the Shady Maple supermarket? They have the best donuts!!
Looking forward to the videos
I have a question. In a two horse hitch, I understand the nigh and off side. But in a three horse hitch, what is the middle horse called. Just a thought.
The nighand off side is the same no matter how many horses are hitched side by side . The Nigh or Near side of the horse is its left side and the Off side is the right side.
monkey, the monkey is in the middle
❤❤
Ben needs some Amish neighbors. Those guys are not afraid of hard work.
Nice video . An why didn,t you take any of your horses ?
We need to establish physical presence together in friendship before intimacy begins Brenda
Did the Amish in your area set you to stay with the host family at the event?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is the leather thing over the top of Noodo’s collar?
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💝
was William there?
I'm still amazed that there is a thing called 'Horse Progress'
I wish this video was compulsory in schools. so people would stop consigning horsedrawn equipment to museums and stop calling Horsemen 'backward'
👍🏽👍🏽
That big guy weighs more than Kenny! Wonder what breed he is?
Suffolk Punch
you did not say who made the machines
Tell the Amish to stop working their horses to death then dumping them at slaughter auction. All animals deserve God's grace and kindness. What you do to the least of us, you do to me, Jesus told us.
Excellent video , I can’t wait to see more !! 😎👍🪵
