Today we have two wagons of logs to pull out of the log job and we are going to see if two horses can pull this heavy load! Today we are hauling logs with our Percheron Draft horses, Buck and Ken!
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!

As someone who's never owned horses but would like to have a team someday, I'm very much looking forward to your new series. I never had any doubt that Buck and Ken could get the job done.

@kylekyselka6499 2 года назад

My wife doesn’t think you can do it Jim but she thinks Buck and Ken would get a kick out of watching you try. Great job on the bike. You have no problem riding keep up the good work.

@agranetmedia2667 2 года назад

It would probably been a harder pull for the horses with a single Large load, as he tires would have sunk deeper, and possibly broke through the frost. Nice to see a team working together like that.

@rodunsworth2060 2 года назад

I don't think you would try if you weren't pretty sure you could do it. They are really good horses your a good Horseman.

I have watched you work your horses before and I know 100% know that Ken and Buck will be able to pull both wagons full of logs. I trust Ken and Buck.. they are awesome animals... now I will turn your video back on and see if I was right or wrong... here we go...

@dalevinkle2549 2 года назад

I am wondering why you didn’t pull both wagons home on the level black top road?

@WorkingHorsesWithJim 2 года назад

Although it's a smoother road, it is quite uphill to the farm and there is not any place to stop to rest

@mariotrudel6203 2 года назад

@agranetmedia2667 2 года назад

Sure, they'll pull the 2 wagons fairly well. Hard packed ground, everything on wheels, solid team. No problem.

@johnthurgood6207 2 года назад

Have you ever/do you ever harness your horses and use them as a team of 4? I just think for some of the work you do it could save time. Also I am always impressed with just how steady and well behaved your horses are. They are a credit to you.

@terrywereb7639 2 года назад

It's called training, desensitizing, socializing. There is a video of a Budwieser Clydesdale team in a small arena that had a potentially horrendous accident. The way the horses reacted shows what so many people with draft horses figure out early....trust goes very far! Lots of early, gentle handling.

@johnkomosa4089 2 года назад

Well, you could see the weight took a bit to get moving but once they got going it looked like they wanted to run with those 2 trailers, then the jump up onto the road, I was concerned with that rise up, but they popped up like nothing, heck keep going! then someone calls the humane society, "Jim's been pulling doubles with his horses again", ah ha, but once on the road it's all wheels, maybe give them a breather b4 the hill. (Weight management on a straight pull level ground wheels, easier than in the woods, with trip debris sticks, to contend with the step, but traction, you tell me). They know that route so the mystery none.. You dropped the pin, awe rats, you know what's best for your horses, but I would drop the wagon in the field b4 the road. I guess that defeats the purpose of getting the wagons off the field b4 warm up, but just showing you how I think. Nice job, I think they loved the work out and flaring those nostrils, they feel Alive! Once again. You cracked me up with that bike. I worked in Surgery with a Surgeon that whiped out his mountain bike on a woods trail, trail doglegged right and down! He did not make the bent and tagged a tree with his shoulder, he could barely do Surgery for about 2 weeks we had to put his surgical gown on him because his shoulder messed up. But it got better.. E.N.T Surgeon. I ran the Laser for him. Anyways, Love Adventure, but very careful Jim, I almost killed myself a few times in Alaska, I had to cool it or I would not have made it. Wild Child. .I cooled it alot, but still take risks just try to stack more odds in my favor. Thanks for the Tips, I am a safer Man because of you and your videos. Stay Cool my friend. Hello to All. John. Ps; I like how you let them feel the weight, as the scoot swings straight in-line, hooow! ...,2.3."Step-up!" That was awesome. To see someone that understands raw power and knows how to use it. Dig It!.. Dig In! Huaah

Yep I reckon they'll do it, you wouldn't try it if you didn't think they were capable. Lets see if I'm right. also I have a question. when you have the Suffolk's working how will you teach them to stand like that when there's nowhere handy to tie them?

@legend7ify 2 года назад

It will be in "the manual video"

@br927 2 года назад

You're hoping they will go into the woods if they take off! I think they still know which way is home!!Yes they can!! stopped @ 7:11! They crack me up, almost a trot! I'm sure if they couldn't, you know enough to stop them! They're going to think you lost one! When we were kids, we use to wrap baling twine around the rear tire to act as chains! We did all kinds of weird things!

@kingwood4357 2 года назад

Jim you are not too old to be riding a bike, I'm a few months shy of 79 and still ride occasionally. I thought the same thing as another poster and that is why not pulling both wagons together once you got on the paved road.

@WorkingHorsesWithJim 2 года назад

Good to hear! Keep it up! It is quite a steep uphill to the farm with no great way to give them a rest if it was needed

@benzoverakers1877 2 года назад

Yes you will be able to pull 2 wagons loaded.

@hubertwebb9869 2 года назад

I believe that the horses will be able to pull both wagons unless they get on straight ice, and I know that you know your horses Jim and they are very well trained.

@WorkingHorsesWithJim 2 года назад

@bnghjtyu767 2 года назад

So I guess I miss the reason why you couldn't bring both of them on home there must be a pretty good uphill climb going up the road I guess.

@legend7ify 2 года назад

rest and recover; strength building for SPRING SHOWS. Great genes there!

@woodchuck1946 2 года назад

Yes they can! 😀 That rise in the paved road would have been a heavy pull with both loads which is likely the reason you pulled one at a time, right?

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim I thought you let them rest right before pulling out into the road.

@johnkomosa4089 2 года назад

Hi Jim, I think they can pull it. Coming up onto the road may require a bit of a grunt, and pulling up the hill to the farm they will be working, but I think they will enjoy the challenge. Ok, back to the video. :-)

@WorkingHorsesWithJim 2 года назад

Yes, it was too long of a hill since there was not place for them to stop and rest.

@johnkomosa4089 2 года назад

Ok,, also, I was thinking if you get 2/3rds up the hill to a steeper spot, then for some reason, that double goes back, that could get hairy. Some Folks do not understand the physics. In Alaska, sometimes a gradual Mountain more dangerous than the obvious cliff, because, you do not see the danger, also avalanches, which are this time of the yr., are like that, the slope seems safe but it is not! Beware the gradual slope. Thanks Jim, for setting me straight. Ah ha.😄 Your like my 6th Older Brother.. I am 8 of 10. Salute.

@jefftempest9222 2 года назад

IMHO those blacks have a tremendous amount of heart, however they are at an age where I don't think pushing them that way was a good idea. Too many variables such as ice, snow, and mud cause problems. Two smaller loads would have been better for them. If they were ten years younger I say have at it. You are a remarkable teamster, sharing your knowledge will be much appreciated for sure.

@jeffjahns1974 2 года назад

I've often been curious in situations like this - instead of making 2 trips and the time involved, have you ever ran all 4 horses, either 4 wide or 2 tandem teams in order to pull out a load or make it up the road hill?... I think you can pull it with 1 team because the snow/ground is frozen. And they are strong.
