- Today we have a special helper back at the farm- Olivia! Olivia is on break from college to become a vet tech and she has been working with the horses. Today Olivia is harnessing up the horses, then we are doing some training with Baron, our Suffolk Punch stallion. We are trying something new today, so be sure to watch until the end!
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses 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!

Nice videos except for the cutting of the live trees, that's what gets depressing. Do you not plant stone pines?
Brenda, you probably walk 2-3 times more than you have to just to give us better camera angles. Thank you very much!!
When calling the cow to feed we called them by saying come boss, come boss. We always feed the cattle at same time everyday. Thank you Jim for bringing back good memories on the farm. ❤
Nice to see Olivia helping out. Looks like she's coming up with great ways to work with "bigger" animals with her size.
I ve found being shorter a great advantage with tendinng to hooves 17.2hh horse im barely bending down haha. And I can jump on any horse below 18hh from the ground without saddle . Short doesnt mean powerless
Long videos are GREAT! More please ❤
Aye, with longer videos you can see the details better. Horsemanship is a lot about horse language - which you cannot catch when the video is too short.
I have to agree, a video clip on your horses is never too long, Jim !! More work for Brenda, though !! Love your camera work, Brenda 💕 !!
Absolutely no problem with the length of this video. When it started and I saw how much time it was going to be, I was quite happy. You and Brenda held my interest all the way through. 🙂🐴🐴
The size difference is even less, when you consider Lady is wearing shoes and Baron is barefoot!! A great video showing people what horsemanship is about!! Thank you so much Jim and the best of the New you for you, Brenda and family, and of course, the horses
Thanks and Happy New Year to you!
Lady, "Listen here, young man, mind your manners!" Your older horses are such kind patient teachers. I love long short or any videos just a joy to watch!
WOW!!! A lot going on in this video!!! Training horses and training us. The camera angles were great. I found myself trying to figure out all the things that Jim was looking at and adjusting. This is not something you pick up in an instant. Have a Happy New Year!!!
Knowing absolutely nothing about feeding cows, I am amazed that hay sustains them during winter. They are all so frisky and look plump.
Hay is dried grass and bulk feed, actually sticks better than green grass. They need a lot of it, both horses and cattle.
Baron is pretty close to Lady's height now, plus she has her snow shoes on making her a little taller. Of course Lady is bigger in her rump as her pregnancy tends to cause extra weight there in addition to her belly. She and Baron did pretty good on their first time out together! Lady just trying to be Speedy Gonzalez to show off for Baron😘 Tell Andy we appreciate his help there at the end! And also we appreciate Olivia helping out during her Christmas break! She'll be a great vet tech! P.S. I like longer videos! I always watch them 2 or 3 times anyway in order to get more time watching the horses! I love all your horses.
Good evening Jim and Brenda,big thumbs-up from me.The longer the video the better 😊 All the very best dear friends.Lady was like Barron you've done your job now leave me be lol 😂 💞
Thank you Jim and Brenda and Olivia. I think Ken is part giraffe when he stands beside Olivia❤❤❤
Tee Hee !! Good job, Olivia !!
Ken just stands there and is soon tolerant. I find it so wild.
It’s amazing how when they are headed home it’s like yippee let’s go even our riding horses would do it
It's like like elementary school kids getting off the bus. Weeeee freedom!
We had saddle horses, I always pushed out trotting and cantering, insisted they walked every step of the way home, training youngster ponies always with children in mind. Snowy River ponies in Australia. An old mountain man told me to do that, they all became big bold walkers, and I'd top the local auction every year with whatever I had chosen to work for a year. I could only do real justice to one at a time. The rest were sold handled as 2 yo.
I like the way you keep working on the horses skills and build their confidence. You can tell they trust you. Great video.
I noticed Olivia is quite strong. Those small square bales are certainly not light and she was having no problem even grabbing the last 2 at a time like they were nothing.
Yes please on the longer videos. They can't be long enough for me
yes she is!
It's a joy to see the younger generation taking interest in caring for animals. I wish Olivia the best in pursuit of her love of horses and their welfare. My regards to your Mrs. and the girls.
Passing the knowledge on to the next generation .. this is very inspiring and encouraging.
Loved watching Jim work with the horses, so very impressive the gentle control he has over them.
The whole training video was fascinating, it wasn't too long, very impressed by you all with the kindness and care you offer your animals!! It's awesome watching you train Baron, loving it from Australia!!
Hello Olivia, good luck with your studies. You have a good place to learn.
Thats a good secure hold on the Lines. One that easy to make and relies if needed, Keeps Baron and Lady from pulling free and keeps you from having to Strip your Lines to keep presser where it's needed when its needed. Jim you a great teacher, this young lady will learn a lot from you, how to do it right and why!
Hearing Jim call the cows reminded me of when I was a kid living next door to a small dairy farm. Every afternoon the farmer's wife would go to the back door of the barn and yell come boss, come boss and they would come running for the afternoon milking.
My Grandpa used to do the same. “Here bossie, bossie, bossie!”
It was nice to see Olivia in this video. Personally I prefer to view videos that are around 20 min. All the Best for 2023 to you, Brenda and the girls.
Feeding Cows with a well-trained Team is a joy and a pleasure beyond masur. The Okes Brothers Ranch from Gunnison Colorado brought down 1300 Head and scattered thin on Bull Masa West of Cedaredge Colorado. I helped feed that 1300 head scattered in different pastures. We made a tool for cutting baling strings, it worked rely well. We took a 1,1/2" x 5/16" inch piece of flat strap Steel, drilled 2 Holes in one end and Riveted a Sickel Section to that end. Drilled a 3Rd Hole on the poised end, sawed a 5/16" x 2" inch Ring in half and mounted the ring to the other end and welded it back to gather so it wouldn't fall off. Made it a little harder to louse! Pocket knives settle to some spot and stop to be found sometimes. All we had to do was drag it Sickel Section across the bales we were feeding, it cut the strings really well, we were able to pull the strings off quickly as needed. We had a Trail full of Cows and Calves, at times we had to weave in, out and around them.
Olivia is a strong young lady. That harness is heavy!
And Brenda is so awesome with the camera, so we can enjoy watching what y’all are doing!!! Thank you so much I enjoy your videos
Ken is soooo patient. A horse ALWAYS run fastest when it is headed to the barn.
I have mentioned before how patient these horses are great to work with Edmund in Pointe Claire Quebec
Nice camera work Andy! First time I’ve seen an Amish cameraman! He is quite a good sport. Jim and Brenda, you very respectful of your Amish friends. Very refreshing
We have a niece and nephew in Iowa that are studying one with large animals and one with small animals and they are really enjoying it .
Olivia does very good with the harnessing those big horses .
Good job Lady Baron and one on board.
Olivia is a go get er..., gets right in there and helps out. Good job.
Thank you.
Hello to Andy also.
Baron is getting some Great training.
... Brenda makes shooting video look as easy as pie.. good job Brenda and thanks to all for sharing...
I enjoyed the video very much. The length is no big deal. I enjoy seeing the horses working as a team. Now that Baron is being trained it makes it that much more enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
Considering Barron is such a young stud, he really has a good temperament and mind.
Every new challenge you throw at Baron, he handles it beautifully. What a guy! Olivia might find it easier to pick up front feet by lightly squeezing the chestnut and the back feet by squeezing the hock. Saves on the back! Great video and love the long format - perfect way to spend a winter afternoon!
That work is easier on short people. Im short, 17hh and up horses and I can work their feets all day not be sore.
Whatever the length of video is fine with me. I always get sad when they end so the longer the better to me! Short or long I never miss your videos. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! 🎊 PS, enjoyed Olivia helping today! She will make an awesome Vet Tech! 🐴🐴
Yes, we think she will!
I am amazed at how the horses 🐎 don’t pay attention to you when you are talking to others and then you give a command they respond !! 😮❤👍
I love to see young people who wants to learn.
Love the long videos, I never get bored with you or the horses. It’s a pleasure to get to know your horses. ❤
Im a registered vet tech from cali! Tell her not to be surprised she would rather do small animal after some good near misses with large animal. Nice being bigger than your patients after so many struggles. Good luck either way!
God has blessed you,Olivia, with Brenda and Jim and their wonderfully trained horses to work with .
Jim, you sure go through the spectrum of what horsemanship is and, shall we say, horsewomanship.
You make room to our own reflexion on all those issues. I like it a lot.
To conclude, when you showed us the hole in the wall, I'm happy no issue happened at 27:36.
Gaëtan ...
Thoroughly enjoyed this video , not to long for me, great to see Lady and Baron working together.
Beautiful scenery! Handsome pair of horses!
Tks for sharing. Olivia looks like she will come along great.
This is so wonderful!!! Jim you are so thoughtful of others and the community. I have a granddaughter that took interest in horses and we had a gentleman who allowed her to come and get some work in on his farm. The young people need to have a place to work. God bless you
Nice sleigh route.
This reminds me of winter feeding with Grandpa & his horses. He usually fed hay and some grain to his cows when it was cold.
Jim I love the longer vidios Absolutely thank the good lord to be able to watch you work you're children you are amazing takes me back to when grandpa worked his keep up the great work God Bless your Family
Thanks 👍
Nice to have a little extra for Jim and Brenda and the horses 🐎. I always enjoy all the videos the longer the better
peaceful to watch and listen to. Especially healthy after a stressful day at teaching.
Hello Jim, Brenda and Olivia. Lady really tickled me with her sassy attitude, I feel like she was sending Baron a pretty clear message. 🤣 Got my email that my calendar is on it's way, excited.
Loved this video it took me back to the 1950s when I drove our Shire when we took hay to the cattle I was only 6/7 years old and I thought I was so important I have loved these draft horses ever since they are just so gentle. Again another excellent video thank you.
Awesome video! Reading the other comments I guess I'm in the minority, I prefer shorter videos. I don't always have time for longer videos. I did just recently find your channel so I scroll down and find a short one when I don't have much time. Its definitely not a content thing because your video's are great, but its after midnight and I should have went to bed half an hour ago!! :)
Love the longer videos
you are a lucky man Jim and Olivia is going to be an awesome treasure for you and Brenda for years to come, hopefully! ;)
The training videos are great. Definitely not too long. I’m learning more than Baron!😊😊😊
Baron is gonna make a great horse, he’s already keeping his focus really well. Lady just let him know to mind his own business lol! Jim you do a great job with them, your voice is calming to the horses. I used to ride quarter and Tennessee walkers in horse shows when I was younger. Some of those had pretty bad tempers! I’ve been kicked, bitten, and head butted my fair share, we had a Western wagon we used for hay rides. I miss taking care of horses.
It reminds me of to kid s how you have each them and separate then they will pick on each other in the back seat I think what you and your wife is doing is awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That's awsome you let her get the time in around your horses helps u out and helps her get to realy know the way around the animals
I like everything about your videos, especially when you’re training the colts, I’ve learned a lot already. I don’t mind the longer videos but it does take extra time to watch, maybe cut them in half and do a continuation next day?
I’m committed either way, but you did ask us to comment our ideas lol
Hi Jim, regarding your question about the length of your videos. I do prefer them shorter but when your driving I skip forward so still watch them to the end.
I like Long and Short Videos; The length of the Video is depending on what you're doing and teaching. I have to yield to those with less experience and there need to learn how to do it right for everyone safety!
you have some awesome horses Jim
Video not too long. Time flew by. As always loved the interaction of the horses. Quite different dynamics. Ken is worth his weight. Olivia has a calm confident demeanor she will do well!
Wonderful to see Olivia learning. Is there any extra danger having Olivia, Trudy, or Abby working close with Baron? You harnessed him up. Is it more dangerous for the girls to be in his stall with him? I know it would be more dangerous for them to be with a bull.
Great job baron . He looks good with lady . And the video was great especially the part andy filmed ....lol . Brenda you did great as always and the length of your video was good .
I very much enjoy the long videos. Recovering from a hemorrhagic stroke with hemiplegia my life is presently restricted in a lot of ways. Videos like yours give me so much right now. I'm looking forward to Lady giving birth to her Foal. Have you come up with some ideas for a name?
I enjoy your videos no matter how long they are! Lady and Baron did really well together.
Glad you like them!
Never bored with your videos..thank you.
Great video and enjoyed the longer format! Have a blessed 2023!!
Well done Olivia. Hope you learn lots!
Interesting ride. Take care and Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to the Gordons. Brenda put a hat on. 😁 Nice video.
I definitely enjoyed every minute of the longer video thanks for all the videos this year. I can't wait working horses with Jim has in store for 2023 happy New year
That is an interesting topic. there is a lot of different things going on. Thanks Jim and Brenda and always take your hat
nice video. lost art with drafts and nice to see another generation willing to be a vet tech to deal with the Bigs.
We have hand holds with our Standardbreds , that's a lot more dangerous but very few have got caught ... Barons just like I got a lady I'm happy !
Love the long videos. I think they did great. Thank you for the video and happy new year
another great video Jim--got the calendar--thanks -they are real nice
Thanks for all the hard work Jim and Brenda you guys put in ! more you put in the more i watch lol ! happy new year much love !

Wow , Lady and Baron were great.
Loved the length of the video! They're so interesting

Good schooling video. An hour well spent. Baron seems to be doing really well.🐴🐴
Truly amazing to see how far Barron has come your way of training really shows. Just want to wish you a happy new year. can’t wait to follow your videos next year. Have a blessed day🙏🏻
Love your videos. Always entertaining!
Enjoy Videos with good topics‼️🐴🐴 THANK YOU, Vinny 🇺🇸
Really nice video. I enjoy the videos, short and long - would like to see more long ones. Watching anything showing you working with the horses is time well spent.
Loved every part of this video! So much to take in...the beauty of the scenery, and your common sense with training your horses is so fun to watch! Thanks again for taking the time to share!
Never bored with your videos, they are great. Happy new year, and God bless you and your family.
I like the longer video, and to go around the fields and see the snowy landscape
Thanks for talking threw the changes or adjustments with the lines on lady and Baron, very helpful
Hi Olivia, in the old day's i learn to brush the horse tail with my fingers. Doing it only with your fingers will keep the tail full with long hairs. Good Lucky with your studie👍. Greetings from the Netherlands
