Emergency rescue of our first farm animal! We needed to add fencing to our property ASAP. Join us as we install nearly 100 t-posts and a solar polywire electric fence in just 2 days. Can you guess what type of animal he is?

Lil tip when using the t post driver. When you pick it up to bring it down on the post kind of give it like a throw down. But as you do take your hands off an let it hit the post. I hope that makes sense. Whole lot easier on your body and hands

Awwwh he’s a beauty. He’s got a lot of years left. My horse is 18 yrs old this year and I’ve had her since she was 6 months old. She thinks she’s still a year old.. lol. Well there’s one thing evident in this video … you nor your husband is afraid of hard work! Putting up a fence is a beast!! My hat is off to both of you. I’m a super hard core animal lover too so this video does my heart so good to see that big boy is going to feel loved. God Bless your farm & family.

So lovely that you rescued this beautiful animal. I am so surprised that the Amish would treat their animals so harshly. But I guess the horses are just doing a job in their eyes. Well done doing the fencing - you certainly won’t need a gym membership!

@loris9775 2 ай бұрын

Just a quick tip on the T-Post driver. Use your strength to lift it, use gravity to drop it. Do NOT PULL downward on it. It's not only ineffective and exhausting, you can cause a serious injury to yourself. It's way more effective anyway, to lift more quickly, and drop.

@makeanddohandmade 2 ай бұрын

He is soooooo cute. I love what you said, you are frugal in other areas of your life so you can do what you love and care about. I'm sure Snuffy will add expenses to your life, but they are expenses that you have chosen. Also, I was thinking of naming my son Falcon! and giving him the nickname Cal. We still named my son Cal, but couldnt get my husband on board for Falcon. Wahhhh. Its such a cool name

I remember growing up there was a farmer with about 10 acres of field where the cows grazed and that whole acreage was blocked of by wood posts that would dry rot snd barbed wire that would rust. Every once in a blue moon a calf would escape and wonder on the neighborhood.😂

@kenyonbissett3512 2 ай бұрын

If you plan to use the manure for your garden, but sure to buy unmedicated feed. Most horse feed has antibiotics in it. The mule poops out the antibiotics that when used on your garden’s beneficial bacteria can lessen the amount of produce you get.

Snuffy is a mule not a horse 😉 We are going to let him relax for a bit first. He is trained to ride and drive … deeply trained. He deserves some rest and vetting before we work with him too much. He walks great on a halter and is obviously very broke (“broken”).
