Forget All State. I would rather have Jim as my good neighbor.
Me too!
I have been a Safetyman for 25 years. I have seen this, but never with large animals, always with men. The young man and his Dad in the hole was deeply concerning to me. Heavy equipment operating on the edge of the hole can lead to a grave for all in the hole very quickly. I am not judging, I would have likely done nothing different in the adrenalin rushed time you spent helping. Over my years. I have seen this kind of teamwork and heroism. God was with you that day Jim, and certainly your neighbors and horses. Thank you for your cool mind and quick thinking. Sent with respect.
Im so glad the horses are ok! I have to say I teared up just imagining the fear in the horses and their owners. I can’t imagine, wow, one on top of the other. Truly a God send that you were able to help. God has His hand in protecting the two horses especially the one on the bottom. God bless you all.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there??
Thank God for modern machinery and the help of their neighbors to get those horses out of the well!
Wow what a blessing neither horse were injured and no person hurt in their recovery. Thank you for being such a good neighbor.
Neighbor helping neighbors that's the way it should be. You are a great person!
Miracles happen when good people help one another. The Lord sees good intentions and finishes the job for his servants. Amen.
God was surely watching over that, his angels were with you all. That was an Epic rescue! I don't think the fire department could have done a better job. You are a good man Jim. I'm sure they were grateful for your help. Blessings to you all.
amen
Amen
Yes, God surely was watching over the whole situation, we are grateful to Him that all turned out well
God bless you Jim for helping save the horses.
The only reason the Amish would have allowed you to film this and upload it would be to help a fellow man. Vets don't come cheap and to replace a well trained team such as these isn't cheap either. Sharing their unfortunate experience so others don't have to is a priceless gift. Bless this young couple and their community.
Our God is a great and merciful God. It is a blessing that these magnificent beasts were spared and none the worse for wear. Such a blessing for all concerned.
Yes He is!
Wow, that was amazing! I almost didn’t watch because I was in an accident once where a drunk driver hit the carriage from the rear. I had 3 passengers with me, the horse was not hurt, 1 of the passengers got a scrape but I was the unlucky one with a head injury, 3 fractured vertebrae and some other more minor injuries. So I hope this doesn’t give me flashbacks!
So glad it all turned out well! You saved the day. I’m afraid without you that hole could have become their grave...Bless you for your level headedness and your knowledge of horses. ♥️👍🙏👏🐴
Such good thinking to hitch the truck to the skid-steer. Glad it all turned out ok, you are a good neighbor.
Hey Jim, using some of God's wisdom can go a long way - good thinking !!
amazing how those horses waited patiently like they knew great help was there and they would be saved. surprising that they weren't thrashing around and really injured each other
It's wonderful that both horses walked away without serious injury! Hope they filled in that well right away afterwards
You are my horse hero. Your amish neighbors are likely as grateful as I am. You are good neighbors.
Horse heroes you and your family definitely are, God Bless! I LOVE your videos. Ane Horses! I could watch them all day! Horses are Amazing creatures.
I have to agree, I think there was some divine intervention there, and a darn good neighbor. I am amazed how calm the horses were, a sign of good training and good genetics.
Did they allow you to fill in the hole with the skid steer while you were there.
Our other neighbor with a tractor showed up and filled the hole in partially
On the farm, you never know what may happen, especially with livestock.
We rescued a calf that found its way into a cistern, a yearling heifer that someway layed down & was fouled up against the barn. I could go on & on. You folks did an excellent recovery
Neighbor helping each other.
Hopefully everyone watching this noted how calm the horses remained. This is how the amish train there horses, if they get in trouble or are left too stand, they wait there till someone comes go get them. Great work jim!
This tool is called a slip. Surprising how much dirt you can move with it. Terribly sharp, you need a steady team.
I think the good Lord was watching over you all as well as the horses. He works in mysterious ways. I hope the Amish fellows are not in any trouble with their Elders by allowing you to use your motorised outfits to resolve the situation..So glad no one was injured.
Yes, we know the good Lord was watching over the whole situation and we are very grateful.
You did a great job saving those horses. It was harrowing to watch them way down in that hole, but you guys worked like experts and got them out without injury. Bravo!
Quick action on your part saved those horses. Good neighbors in times of trouble are heaven sent. I hope your Amish neighbors appreciate all you did for them.
I'm glad the horses were able to walk away! Accidents happen with big animals all the time, even when you'd think nothing can go wrong or have done something a million times. Especially when working with animals, as well trained as they can be they're still animals and will react in unexpected ways. This could've been much, much worse and I'm glad it wasn't!
Amazing that neither of them were hurt.
Wow. Glad you had the presence of mind to move that loader quickly, and not mess around while lifting. Not the time to take it slow. Great job Jim. Wish you were my neighbor!
I think I would call this a miracle. God was with y’all.
Yes.
Absolutely!
Everyone teamed up together & did a great job in helping those horses 👍🏼 Thank goodness there were no serious injuries!
Just a great video of people who love there animals and would do anything to same them from a accident great work every one.
That is incredible! When you first started talking I thought you were going to say they lost the horses. What a miracle! How often does a horse fall into a 15 ft. hole? And then to survive it? Amazing.
And why is there a 15’ well?
Thank you and the Amish family for sharing that. That was heart-stopping! Draft horses have such calm personalities. I don't think another breed would have been so chill. In a Budweiser 8-horse hitch performance, exiting the fan maneuver, one swing horse stepped over the traces, got tangled up, went down and pulled his mate down too. The rest of the horses stopped immediately and stood quietly as the leader and body pairs were unhitched. The downed horses quietly remained as they were, most of harness broken off or askew. One had no bridle. Two men crawled all over them, cutting them free. They got up onlu when prompted, and one was quietly lead out with a strap around his neck. The wheelers then took that heavy wagon out by themselves. That was the first time I saw the calm demeanor of draft horses. This pair was just the same. I expected them to struggle as they were lifted. My admiration goes to the farmer for his magnificent horses and to you for filming it.
Glad that situation turned out ok!
Those two horses were very calm in the hole. Thank you for helping the owners.
Thank you Jim for helping your neighbors with their horses! I hope our horses never have an emergency like this. We have no open wells, but we are on top of a ridge and there are very deep ravines all over the place. I don't think our tractor could even lift them - but the farmer next-door would help I'm sure. Great to have good neighbors!
We have some very good neighbors>Pretty sure they would help us out in time of need also. Thanks for watching
Gosh I can’t imagine being in a situation like that. Glad you were able to help with the skid steer. Glad to see both horses walk away from that!
Sometimes technology is needed, even in the Amish world.
I'm so happy that they were okay after getting out of the well.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there???
Simply amazing! God was surely there, for the horses and boys to walk away from that tragic accident and rescue. ❤
God is so good ALL THE TIME!!!
Yes He is!
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Amen!
Amen and Amen
Yes HE is!
Thank the Lord that this ended well.
We need more of this around the world. To many people don't because of whatever the person is
Hi
Accidents happen your a great neighbor an great person for helping get the horses out of that hole. Then both horses were ok you did a great job all God bless you❤🙏
What a miracle you were there to help. We are so grateful it turned out so well! I say it was a “God Thing!” He was there bringing you all together to save those pre horses🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕
God is good !! Great job that not only did you save those two horses but they came out somewhat unscathed !! Good job guys !! You're GREAT neighbors !!
Yes He is!
Very very scary. I bet those young men were beside themselves. The team must be sore and stiff. Your neighbors are lucky you were home. Wonderful to see everyone working together! ! 🐴🐴👍
Well done, a job well done. This is what friends and neighbours are for. I bet your hearts were pounding!
They sure were!
You did an amazing job of rescuing these horses. It was also cool to see the horses cooperating in the rescue by not fighting the straps, ropes and machine! Life is more interesting than fiction!
Yes life is stranger than fiction. The horses did help by cooperating
I'm glad you wore home at the time to go and help in a time of need , things may have turned out very differently if not for you Jim . You are a hero.
Certainly bring tears in ones eyes. 🙏❣️
Amazing!!! Never have I seen anything like that in my entire life (over 70 years).
Thanks Jim for being there when your neighbour needed you the most. Wow what a great rescue. it is miraculous to me that they didn't break a leg falling in the hole like that. I am thankful that your neighbour didn't loose any horses but you are right this could have happened to anyone. the main thing is the horses were fine and showing no signs of trauma as they go about being horses. The reason i love draft horses is no mater how much stress they experience they never panic they trust their masters or herd leaders absolutely to get them out of the situation they are in, horses are amazing creatures and they know when you are trying to help them i know this was taken two years ago but it is worth repeating because not all of us have amazing neighbours like you Jim and Brenda thank you both for helping out your neighbour i am sure he will be eternally grateful for what you did for him that day. I hope when i move out to the countryside that i will find great neighbours like you there. Great rescue!
We call it a "slip". My granddad built road with "slips" with teams and later tractors. I ran the tractor for him when I was about 8 yo.
👍👌🇨🇦❤, well done by all, very fortunate that the soil on the side was stable, cave ins would have been really bad, pretty dang calm horses for going through all of this, 👊
Great job!! It would be wise to make a sling set up for just this emergency. Ratchet straps make good webbings. We used old worn out ones that the ratchet broke. A harness maker sewed them together for us. Great job!!
I remember a story my mom told me when she was growing up, something very similar happened to one of her horses, it was also a well hole. Her horse ended up being ok too
Hundreds of dollars of lost harness. Thousands of dollars in horses. Having loving neighbors---priceless.
Sorry, had to skip to the end, I'm still traumatized by a children's book about a colt falling into a hole from the 1950's. Very grateful for good neighbors and God's Grace!
Horrible, horrible, what can happen. The incident does not only show what a good neighbor you are, it also shows your great skills with the skidsteer. I must say, I did not 'enjoy' the video, because like you said, it could have ended a whole lot worse. I am grateful that the two of you showed it, though. there might be a lesson to be learned. One also has to marvel at the horses: In shock they could either have panicked, hurt each other and the people who climbed down to them or they could have had heart attacks and died. My father, who commanded a horse-drawn artillery company with 148 horses during WW II in the German Wehrmacht told me about horses which in a state of shock just gave up and died. But these two stayed calm and waited for the humans to help them out of the bad situation. Remarkable.
I’m so glad you started off by explaining that you went by to check on those two this morning, because I think I would’ve have been in tears watching this. The black one looked so helpless. I’m shook up pretty bad just from watching the video. I can’t imagine how you handled it so calmly. Just unreal. Keep up the good work. I love your videos.
It was hard to watch. I’m glad I did.
I am sure his calm and considering behaviorior was a great comfort to them. Plus it didn't hurt that Jim understands horses and harness workings so well.
Me too! What wonderful neighbors to have!
That black horse seemed a little stiff there in the beginning of the paddock intro but that could also have been the ground not being level. I witnessed a tree falling on horses at the local tourist attraction. The driver jumped on the horse closet to the tree and because I wasn't really experienced enough and young, I kind of wandered away. They called for the vet and the horse closet to the tree a mare named Bell was put down straight away because they couldn't really tell if she'd survive and be a good worker again. The other horse a gelding named Alex was put out to pasture to recuperate unfortunately just as he was ready to come back a snake bit him and no-one noticed until it was too late. They were Clydesdales and I live in Australia were they are extremely popular.
Thank God, God is good.
Great job with the horse rescue. I was concerned at first about your skid steer falling in as well. Good thinking with lashing the skid steer to the truck. Glad those beautiful horses are ok.
Oh wooow. God's love is so amazing. Although I don't own any horse, these gentle giants have a special place in my heart. I enjoy your videos Jim so much. They remind me of my childhood.
You did a great job there, this is what I call a "love your neighbor as thyself". God bless you and your Amish neighbor. I admire their way of life
This just goes to show that SOMETIMES horses have the will to survive. My gelding threw a temper tantrum in a brand new trailer and ended up with 30+ stitches in his forehead. Gods grace was certainly with you and that young family. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Thank the LORD. Everyone, including the two horses, helped the recovery cause they did not go crazy in the moment. Everyone did a impressive life saving job.
God bless you, Jim, for your help! Things couldn’t have turned out better!
So true!
Thank God for people like you guys great job well done
That was amazing!. Animals are so resilient. We called them a slip scoop. Well done Jim.
Jim your neighbors are very fortunate to have you.That was a supper act of kindness you
did first for the horses and your neighbors . Good for all . Julien Lamarche
A true American , helping a family / friend , thank you , proud of everyone ! Bob
This is the most inspirational video I've seen in years. That's what neighbors are for. Thank you for sharing this. It's renewed my faith in humanity. God bless all of you.
Glad it was helpful!
You folks are such good neighbors . God bless you .
Hi Jim and family, words cannot express my relief when I saw those two horses come out of that hole, it was amazing. Times of trouble bring good people together to help one another, and that's how it should be, and the day after the horses looked just fine , full credit to those boys down in the hole whith two frightened horses, not a safe place to be . Thanks for sharing this whith us, stay safe all of you, Best wishes from Stuart and Megan, Uk.
Thanks 👍
Glad they're ok. You are a good neighbor. That's the way more people should act. Bless you.
Wow!!! That could have ended up being really bad. You're such a great neighbor Jim, always willing to lend a hand! I think it's safe to say you saved those horses lives! God bless you and your lovely wife!
Great job helping out. This is real life things happen. Its ashame you have to be nervous about about posting this. The good Lord put everyone in the right place at the right time. Thank you Mr. Jim. Do they have the hole filled in yet? I feel so bad for this young couple. They seem to be trying so hard and so many challenges.
Our other neighbor filled the hole in partially with his tractor. Yes, they have had a lot of challenges. But they just keep going.
So wonderful that you were able to assist that young family in their time of need. And so wonderful that the horses are OK. God's blessings to you all. Good neighbors says it all!
God bless you all, that's Incredible!
You all made the very best of a bad situation!
Mighty job well done all,nice to see a happy ending to these situations 🙏🙏
I hope people watching this video will realize farming can be very dangerous whether it's with horses or machinery and it's not a solo job. Neighbors helping each other helps keep it safer for sure. 💯 Staying calm is key too!
Absolutely!
New to your channel. I've been in some pickles with horses, but never quite like that. Good thing the hole was dry. Glad to see that they were okay.
thank God everything worked out for the horses and everyone involved Jim .
Thank you for your sensitive editing, Jim and Brenda!
Thank God for His hand in the rescue!!!!❤
Wonderful work together to help save the horses. God watching over you all as you worked to keep animal and people safe. God bless you all
Truly an amazing rescue.
God bless you for saving those horses.
Great job! Wish you were our neighbours!
Genius rescue method by Jim, a great neighbor, bless you!
Such a difficult task, such a good job of it.
I didn't think cold hold my breath for that long. Amazing the horses were not hurt and you were able to help them get out of the hole. Great job and thanks for sharing your fantastic personal qualities. Al
Were they slipping dirt? When I was 9, my dad and were slipping dirt. I just came home from school. Saw them moving dirt. I was amazed how good that all looked. Then, heard dad and uncle . One horse had pulled too fast. Jerked the slip out of ground. Cut both hocks. Dad gave him a generous feed. Vet came and put him down. Sometimes things just work the way you'd.like. They got rid of slip. My uncle was driving horses. Dad was handling slip.
.
Things don't work the way it should sometimes.
That would have been awful!
Fantastic work awesome results
Hi sexy how are you and how is the weather over there??
Wow, what a feel good story! You know those young men felt awful for their horses! You did a good thing Jim! It’s amazing how tough and fragile a horse can be.
So good to see both the horses grazing as normal as any other days
Great job Jim! No words
What a blessing the horses are fine and on one was hurt in the process. Thanks for the video. Accidents happen in the real world. Glad it all worked out in the end. Take care and stay safe, Al
So glad you were able and had the equipment available to help. most people have NO idea how much a horse means to the Amish.....or any other person that owns a horse. Thanks for sharing. and thank the neighbors for allowing us to witness this unfortunate situation. Glad everything turned out fine.
Oh what a blessed sight to see them both come up out of that hole, and stand on their own. So glad you were there to help, God bless you all. ❤
That was a great recovery! Thankful you were a good neighbor!
The "scoop" you talked about is called a "slip" similiar to a wheelbarrow without the front wheel. My dad used one in the 1930's helping build roads.
I couldn't watch but a minute of the boys helping them. I started to cry. So happy they got them out and they are both ok. My family had horses when I was younger and when accidents happened it was always so frightening.
I did not cry but .... pretty close
my grand dad was dump raking hay in the mid 1950s and the team spooked and took off with holding on tight, they came to a wire fence and one tried going through the fence and one did;nt, needless to say it was a big mess, those horses were so tramatized that they could not be worked again and thats when he got his ford tractor,
