This went about 90% better than I thought it would.

- I haven’t Hitched my horses to the wagon in a long time. It went a lot better than I thought it would and nobody died.

Other than your snow feeding videos I think this is my favorite. Love seeing the simple way of cowboying.
This was an excellent episode. People that haven’t handled a team cannot fathom how much work and skill is involved here. Those are well trained draft horses and this was still a chore.
Thanks, John!
I truly enjoyed watching you with Amos & Moses, that was awesome, yes I agree the sound of chains were incredible, hopeing to see you do this again!!:) Have a blessed New Year, greatest of adventures, thks for sharing your life:)
I miss working with the draft horses. I would have so much fun with them
Great job. Keeping your composure it's the most important part when dealing with two tons of horse power. Blessings on you and your family and all your endeavors. Again, blessings on ya boy. As ever just Tom
Thanks for watching
Beautiful horses...mannnn, you are living the life! I love it!!! ❤✌🏾😁
Thumbs up for sure!!?
Thank you for sharing! I know you don't have to do this. We appreciate it very much.
I like watching your life with more than a little jealousy.
Your living our dream !
That wagon reminds me of my great great uncle Nelson's wagon he ran in Pampa, Tx. He had a good mule team. Thank you for the great videos.
Ive had some great mules over the years. Thanks for watching
you know a mans soul wen he prefers a wagon over helicopters,tractors or fancy trucks great video look so relaxing out there
Drafts are usually so tractable. I have a lot of draft crosses for that reason, love their dispositions. But its true for most horses the more you work them the better they are
What's tractable mean?
@@JAvery-vb9lm easy going and willing to work
I remember when I was in college working on a ranch, we had two palominos that were team horses and had been retired recently. My friend and I thought we could put a saddle on each of them and try to use them as trail horses. My friend got his saddled up and was waiting for me. Well my horse would have nothing to do with a saddle. After much coursing I got him saddled up and got him going out on the trail. Not even 20 yards out, he decided he did not want to be ridden. He tried to buck me off but I stayed on. After a few minutes he calmed down and I took him back to the arena. I tied him to the fence post so I could get him to rest. Again, he would have nothing to do with being tied up and proceeded to pull the fence railing out of the post and run with a fence post attached to the end of his lead rope. My friend came back and helped me get the fence post out of the rope and put Mr. Fussy Britches away. What a fun day LOL.
That’s crazy. Sounds like a good time.
@@themendotaranch Yes it was.
OH JASON!! I've been waiting over a year for this video! THANK YOU so much for sharing the fellers with us! They seemed to be having as good a time as you were near the end there.
And yeah, a runaway team [with or without wagon] is one of those 'life flashing before your eyes' moments 🤣I hear you on that front!
Such a lovely video, I smiled the whole way through! As much as you love doing it and as much as you don't have the time to, I hope those moments of Peace you feel whilst driving can encourage you to make more time for yourself. It's the little things, Jason. The little things that save us.
Maybe teach a hand to harness up or give one of the local 4Hers a chance to volunteer their time for some practical skills and experience harnessing a team. Sure it'd cost some time to train them, but wouldn't that equal out to many more days where you wouldn't have to spend the time to do it but still want to drive?
I'd love to go for a ride. To be so peaceful and present is a wonderful feeling.
Happiest of New Years to you and the fam, Jason! May the winds be always at your backs!
Glad you enjoyed it. I will be working them more. Happy New Year to you all and thanks for always watching.
I grew up in the interior of B.C., Canada, where we used teams until we got our first tractor in 77. Teams are defiantly one of those things that the old saying, use it our loose it, applies to. They are well worth the effort to maintain them. Cheers, Billy
They are! Thanks for watching!
Fabulous beautiful horses !! A lot to handle.
Thanks for allowing us on to see you on beautiful ranch.
May this new year bring you the best ✌✌✌
Thank you. Same to you!
I grew up kinda like your life style. Fed cattle and horses out in pastures with a fifth wheel wagon. We loaded up the manure from the stalls then went out in a field and dump it. I miss doing your job. Couple years ago I bought a Moline freight wagon i have some older harnesses maybe God will give a chance at it again. Enjoyed watching your video. Thanks God Bless.
That’s awesome. Thanks for watching.
if you love the chains you should get you some bells. It's the most beautiful sound in the world. Love this video. Amos and Moses are a lovely team.
Thank You!
Like a cool breeze on a hot day❤️ Thanks😀
You sure have a pair of real pretty horses there Jason! A very natural rhythm in motion as the horses settle in to a daily task at hand. Slow and gentle seems to win the race and the day. Hope 2022 has started well for you and your wife. -Bob...
Great job sir. It is a lot of fun to feed out wagon with horses. I done it as a young man in wyoming
Great video, the perfect balance between educational and humor, we could see a little worry in your eyes before the hitch LOL!
Old school awesome! What a way to spend a day
Nothing better than watching a team doing what they are bred for
Jason,Thanks for the video. Didn't get around that much ,in my younger days.
What magnificent animals
For not doing it in 8mnths well done to all involved. Impressed

That chain sound is sweet.

Working on that
Amos and Moses are beautiful all hooked up doing their jobs. Thank you for this video. Give those boys a hug from me too please.
Thanks. They are good boys.
Man Just love your channel......
That poor halter never stood a chance!! I have seen them halters hold until the hitching post come up. He broke it like it was fishing string. Awesome vid.... its different
This was fun!! Thanks.
Driving was my sanity, didn’t matter if it’s single, pair or teams but you are 100% right though, when it goes wrong it goes wrong big and quick. Such a beautiful place to drive and Amos was much more relaxed than his first impression. Good for you x
Thank you!
That was awesome to listen to between the hoof beats & chains. Happy new year!
Team work makes the Dream work !
Just living the dream.
What a blast.
This was my fav video so far . ❤️ all videos with you working your animals 👍🏻

Reminds me of our 2 year old gelding s we bought Rook and Renegade your Amos Is our Rook! But once in the harness it’s all business! Lots of fun!
Great vid. I’ve never driven a team, but can imagine it’s a fun experience - especially on a spread like yours! 😊
Lovely
Most enjoyable!

Thanks for watching
Nice team, nice harness for all occasions
Great video!
I enjoyed the video it brought back a lot of memories. And your right that team needs a lot more work I had a couple of runaways myself. It gets the heart pumping.
They do. Thanks for watching.
nice set Horse's.
Such beautiful horses and ranch sir much love from southwest oklahoma
Great way to start the new year! Awesome looking team. Hope Bonnie is doing alright. Thanks and stay safe.
Love watching you with the team..they did great. They are so big I could see where if they wanted to break something they could...

Thanks for watching!
Nice rig. Thanks for sharing and the honest stories. Nothing more peaceful than a horse ride. Hope you post more drives.
I’m hoping to. Thanks
Good morning. Love to see the heavy's. Happy new year from Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Happy New Year Jason and Bonnie. That was an awesome video, I love watching you work the ranch and all the things you do. That would be a dream come true to shadow along side you for a couple days working the ranch. You've worked hard for what you have and are truely blessed. How's Bonnie coming along?
Thanks for watching. She’s doing great.
Love Amos and Moses, didn't know you had them.. That is a cool way to do feeding. I love to watch a good team work and the sounds are awesome 👌 of the tack
It's annoying
Thanks for watching.
Great video for the love of the game
You had me nervous for ya. Love the team..🐎
Thank you!
Good video, thanks! I used to have a Percheron as well and he broke many a halter just like yours did! An old timer told me to run the lead rope over the hitching rail and tie to a front foot, that sure helps. Your so right a run away team is scary! I bet that was very cool having the Bud Clydes at your ranch, very cool! I went on and had Clydes and had much better luck with them, also harness trained a bunch of young Clydes for others. There used to be a group of us Guys that farmed 40 acres with draft horses and mules for many years. Lots of work but lots of fun!
Thanks!That sounds like a great job!
@@themendotaranch It sure was!
Looks like fun
Nice seeing the two horses work, glad you made it back safe.
Me,too! Thanks!
Love this stuff, pretty cool !
Thanks
