Today Earl is back to work, after a very long break in the pasture! We will see how he does back in the harness as Jim works to train him to drive.
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!

Not bad for a old plow jockey he's coming along
Brenda, your flowers look great. You should show them more often. Enjoy your vids have a great day
Printaboul = Gaëtan
So, if ever Lady is pregnant, you'll have to wean Bree when you have to dry Lady.
Is it like cows? If I remember, it was around 60 days before calving, that we dried the cow, the thing is she wasn't nursing anymore … we dried her calmly.
Well we'll see …
Surely, Brenda, you are not indicating that any of those sweet horses would kick at the cat. I have not seen any indication that they would kick. No I thought Jim said blind too.
Wow Earl was testy, glad it all ended well all things considered.thanks for the video.😊
now that Earl and Duke are getting on the training schedule Jim seems to need about 1 or 2 more hours of daylight . I'll watch. Thanks for this one you guys are the greatest of all time horse video people. Love how Brenda trys to announce the horse pulls. when you get to them. it is quite interesting. I think I understand that you are pretty much friends with the other competitors.
Anyone supporting the "American cream draft" horse?
Would be interesting to know!
Thank you for sharing. They are looking great.🐴🐴
Good video guys
I loved watching this training with Earl 😊. Every time I watch you Jim and Brenda it gives me warm memories of my early life on the farm and with my grandparents who worked their farm with horses like you still do. So thank you.
A wonderful video! I look forward to seeing you teach the young boys to go out singularly and together.
Would ypu have bread Lady long ago if you knew she was such a good mother, and created such great babies?
Love your horses and how good you are to them– very relaxing to see you both handle them. thanks for sharing- learning a lot!
cant wait to see Duke and Earl's training process together and how they become a reliable working team for Jim and Brenda
I had never seen a Holstein and a Jersey stand right next to each other. There sure was a size difference.
Remarkable how Jim was able to stay calm with Earl when he was being rebellious.
beautiful
Love your videos that is great for you to get the horses back in shape for the fall God Bless ❤
Thank you again for keeping the camera running at the end! The sweetest moments often happen then. Really appreaciate all your efforts do to make these videos for all of us.
You have 2 plows!
You and Brenda can have plowing matches! 🙂
Brenda can plow with lady and ken and you can plow with bill and rotate the others for trainig. 😊
Hi Jim and Brinda, I'm excited to watch how you trine your Colts Jim. I prefer training one at a time with an older establish Horse that can help controlee and prevent problems. Yes! by all means an experienced Horseman like you can trine young Colts to gather. I discovered it's a good practice to go slow and steady like to do. Redirect as needed and work on preventing the start of bad habits. It will take a little time to Discover their individual temperaments and willingness to try. With some Horses and their temper Mit their nerve's nature it can become dangerous as you well know, have a wonderful Day!
Hi Jim and Brinda, I like to put my used Harnes on and check it out like you're doing Jim, never know what might be missing or need repaired or even replaced.
Hi Jim and Brinda with all those wonderful Dery cows are you enjoying fresh unpasteurized good for you good old Cow's milk that tastes like Cow's Milk. Having a Milk Cow is a blessing that comes with Milking twice a day every day.
Looking at His Feet and how He walking He has a good stride; He is not overstepping or clipping His heals, which could lead to a tripping problem and He's not understating.
Had to wait a few days to watch this one. My sister was busy and she loves watching as much as I do. Brenda's flowers are gorgeous right now. And we both were glad Jim is back working the colts. Some day they will be a great team.
I love watching ALL your videos! ALL your horses are gorgeous BUT Earl is absolutely stunning! That shorter wider stance is just amazing so much power in a smaller package!!!! 💜💜💜
Jim, when you start driving Bree you'll be able to say Gee Bree. 😃
Funny. Jim said Earl should be fine when Brenda lead him out. I also first thought I heard Jim say Earl is blind. Lol I'm glad Earl is FINE!!!!!❤😊
Are Earle and Duke gelded?
I was taught the bit should sit where there is one or two wrinkles in the corner of the mouth. Then you know it’s correct.
As much as he fights he still looks sharp. He is a good looking horse! He’s so beautiful!
It's the same with dogs, they need firm but fair leadership and boundaries. Many horse training concepts are very similar to dog training like pressure and release. Some dogs will resource guard or refuse to follow commands etc., and once they get away with it, they will do it again because it worked for them before.
Luckily, I've trained working and sporting dogs, so I have the resources and skillset to work through issues with them. We always quit on a successful command or completed task.
Super! Loved this video, and how calm you stay when Earl is a bit opinionated!
Baron!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks for mentioning the horses mouth. They are so sensitive as creatures… Another lovely video to appreciate. Thanks. It brings back memories of my spunky horse days. Definitely have to watch what they're thinking and act quickly to move back into more rewarding behavior.
I think it's important to not take horse's behaviour personally… He wants to do his own thing in the same way your house roof wants to fall on the floor.. it's just natural and only humans can make things work better
All your horses are great specimens , but Lady is just elegant perfection today! I hope Bree grows up as beautiful as her mama.
At 14:56 that cow is definitely trying to tell you something! Brenda, I thought he said the horse was "probably blind", too!
That replica is adorable. Your family is wonderful. 🥰
One of my trainers said that, when driving a horse, keep your lines on each side of the body and drive him like a wheelbarrow. Helped me to coordinate my movements since I’ve pushed many a wheelbarrow!😂 Nice going Earl and Jim.
👍👍
Do your horses ever get too heavy or overweight from all that nice grass, do you ever have to worry about founder?
Great video !
I am amazed at how well that grass grows under those trees! Down here in Alabama it is hard to get grass to grow under trees!
I think the word is “attitude “
The horses look great! Bree is precious. ❤
Is it just me or did they have cows in the barn?
I mustve missed some videos last winter because i don't remember jim working with Earl!
Does earl not like water? I noticed that he avoids the puddles!
