Today‪@WorkingHorsesWithJim‬, we unload the colts and put them into their new barn, take them for a walk, introduce them to Buck and Ken, and spread a load of manure with the Percherons.
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!

Jim have you done a video on the history of your barn? Curious to hear the history and how old. Was it ever set up for milking cows?

@skyrocketcoast219 3 жыл бұрын

Found the blog! Thanks, will read it later in day Your new colts are looking good. That front hoof striking business is a bit scary & you are right about that may go away as colt grows up. My little mustang mare did it that a few times ,when we 1st got her. She only did it under extreme duress or surprise. Luckily with all the daily training I gave her it disappeared completely in 2months. . Small & steady and being consistent gives such a good & solid foundation to make a bomb proof horse. And you all got that down! Enjoy watching your training& work day very much. Thanks for the videos.

My observation for today is that any horses that end up on your farm will have a good life. You treat them so well and give them a clean, healthy environment. I’m impressed with how you get them to do their jobs with low key words. The relationship between you (and family) and the horses and the work to be done is just as it ought to be. Good job! 😎👍👀

I am partial to the Belgians, they will always be my favorite. 60+ years ago an older neighbor gave me a very old Belgian mare. I would climb the loft ladder with twine in hand swing onto her and ride for hours a day if I slid off, she was huge and at 4 my legs weren't long, she'd stop until I got up then walk to the ladder and we did it over and over. Tiny, which was an odd name for a huge horse, was a faithful companion. Great memories, thanks for stirring them.

All I can say is, I love your ways. Don't worry about the strike, just don't give him the opportunity, you have to be in front to cop it, and he'll get sick of watching for the chance. It is only fear, he'll get over it. I've been all through the comments and questions. I do like a horse to learn to drink when its offered. A block of wood on a high pulley will take the loop out of the ropes so they can move about and not get a foot over it, the big ones would appreciate that too, old English system of tying. Your horse psychology is up there with the best of them. I think they've gained a little condition, two fat little rumps, and no trauma.

There is good and bad in every breed, and good and bad in every individual horse. I have had such a general experience with horses, there are very few breeds I haven't had some experience with. I've worked with Saddlebreds, Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horses, Tennessee Walking Horses, Morgans, Thoroughbred, Dutch Warmbloods, Hanoverians, Arabs, Standardbreds, Canadian Crossbreds, Percherons, Shetlands, Welsh Ponies, Connemaras, Quarter Horses, Belgians, Paso Finos, Fjords, Halflingers, mules and donkeys, you name it, I've probably worked with one. Every one of them had some redeeming feature, and every one had something I would sooner have done without. The breed I probably had the most bad experiences with was the one I was most primed to love, given my love of Laura Ingalls Wilder: the Morgan. They can be awfully hot. You'd better be prepared at all times with them. One of the safest horses I ever had was my Saddlebred, who came to me unbroken, half wild and nearly starved to death, but was so darn smart she would think her way through every hairy situation without ever losing her cool. I'm really impressed with these colts. They are fast learners, personable and patient. They are one of the few breeds I haven't been around, but I have always wanted to try. I've heard really good things about Suffolks, and these little boys are really doing the breed proud.

Then I volunteered at the Kentucky Horse Park for a while, and found that the folks who were pushing those fads in those industries were often retiring their old horses, quite young, to the horse park. The folks who were buying Saddlebreds to have something new put to their carriage were retiring their Oldenburgs and Cleveland Bays to the horse park. I didn't even list them all last night, because I couldn't call them all to mind that quickly.

I think it will be interesting for you to see " Suffolk Punch Horses - a presentation for Burghley Horse Trials by the Suffolk Horse Society"

Hi Jim the colds are looking good they’re looking great you have fix the right names for them Duke and Earl In the county where did breeds originally come from we have The Duke of Suffolk they are a very hardy breed and they work very hard because that’s what they’ve been originally brought for to plough feels which in the region where they come from that’s what they used to do especially being the ground that they used to plough was very heavy clay which is still is nowadays they can pull up to twice their body weight The bodyweight can get up to a ton so imagine what can day poll anyway I’ll sign off now and God bless

If you haven't already watched the Riceland Farms videos on RFD he has a great idea on using a chain and a weight through a holiday in the Manger to eliminate any slack in the tie to prevent getting around legs or over the head. Everything is looking goo. I think you'll come to love the Suffolk.

In England for stalls like that they use a block of wood on a pulley that just reaches the ground, avoid a loop they can get their foot over. Very old technique.

Is it safe to assume they are both geldings? I know a couple of people who have Suffolks that they ride, they were retired from working in the fields, they are great horses. ♥️🙏👍🇺🇸🤓
