We have had some crazy weather this winter, and the ice is insane!! This makes training for Baron a little tricky! Today we are continuing the training for our Suffolk Punch draft horse, Baron. Today you will see some of trials we are facing, and how Baron is responding! We talk about why horses wear shoes, especially in icy situations!
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!

Baron is really coming along nicely. It is not only a testament to his abilities but also to your calm and steady hands on the reins. It have not trained driving horses but I grew up training riding horses, the main thing you can do for them when things get scary is provide a calm voice and encouragement. You get 2 thumbs up for this performance.

@carollundquist9178 Год назад

❤ Ken was so calm while Baron struggled. Good boy Kenny!

@joycehennequin8469 Год назад

Good evening Jim and Brenda,lm really so incredibly impressed with Barron truly l am and our beautiful Ken supported Barron when he needed to 👌 all the very best dear friends 💞

@maddog6493 Год назад

that Kenny is a great teacher for baron ,he is really coming along ..cant wait to see him work in the woods

@louisecassidy5991 Год назад

Making a real horse out of Baron, there's nothing quite like real work. Very impressive Jim and Brenda. Scary stuff but Jim knows his stuff. Many times I saw them stepping together, Ken being taller it doesn't last long, but Baron has already figured out that staying in step cuts out all the joggle and pulling is easier. He is a mighty horse!

@janetschmitt6760 Год назад

Thank goodness for the mature ones when training the young. I have the same with the old dog and new puppy right now. Can't imagine trying to do it alone!

@lucinaramsey4705 Год назад

I’m so glad Barron didn’t fall .. that was scary, I do however liked how you said let’s watch that again and it re- played in slow motion. I noticed when you said G that Ken literally had to push baron over to turn but all in all baron did wonderful, beautiful horses- 💙

@fion1flatout Год назад

I had a mini horse stallion. He was the tiniest horse you've ever seen but his self-belief was huge. He thought he could do anything, was such a character, what a fun pony.

@davidkimmel4216 Год назад

Such a pleasure watching you and your wife working the horses. They trust both of you so much 👍

@MrWaterbugdesign Год назад

Audio on your videos is always excellent. Makes me feel like I'm there. It's a big part of the fun watching. Thanks.

@MikelJay Год назад

Just ordered studs for our horses trail boots today. Watching Baron struggle definitely reinforced my decision to buy. Your training and work exposure for the horses is exemplary.

@lindaarmstrongjackman9788 Год назад

Baron is really coming along. Good job Kenny at keeping him going forward. Thanks Brenda and Him. 👍👍😁.

@lynchalmers9026 Год назад

Baron has improved so much. It looked like he was enjoying himself out there. Ken of course was his usual calm self. Love your videos.

@pattirockgarden4423 Год назад

Love you guys! That was dicey, but went well, thank goodness 🙏 You are a brave and amazing team. Your horsemanship is fantastic! And you keep a positive attitude through it all.

@johnkomosa4089 Год назад

Yes, reminds me of when Lance Mackey, 4 time Iditarod Champ ran his dogs through overflow on the icey river. Lance got off and went up and crossed the overflow up to his knees, to encourage the dogs to go!, sometimes you have to lead them. Some simularities in these 2 events.. I'm sure Lance would say there were times he was way over his knees, as he drove 16 Dogs to Nome. WAY to go Baron Buddy!

@chrislittlefarm Год назад

You're both smart cookies 😄 What a ice sheet!! That will be a lots of water when it melts. Good that you've made the water ditch! Have a wonderful week! -Chris

@biddydibdab9180 Год назад

I’m remembering Jim saying early on that he didn’t know if he’d keep the Suffolks due to their size. After seeing Baron acing every task he takes on, and doing it with such energy, I wonder if Jim is changing his mind? Great and exciting video!

@carlapierle8623 Год назад

That was definitely a good lesson for Baron. I was panicking though, while watching him slipping and sliding on that ice! So glad he didn't fall and it didn't seem to bother his ability to continue on after that dicey experience.

@clintonemmert5184 Год назад

After that ice, Baron is saying. Put some darn shoes on me lol.

@jamescox8233 Год назад

hi Jim, and Brenda. another great video, jim, Baron is doing great, but i though he was going to fall, for a second there. Brenda, the way you climb up the barn to get the hay , was fantastic! Hats of to Ken, and Baron, they were great today. God Bless to All ....Jim Nova Scotia Canada.,

@terrythomas7035 Год назад

It’s so neat when you say careful step the horses seem to take smaller strides

@michaelladd3628 Год назад

Your videos are always so entertaining and educational. Baron showed some quickness in keeping his feet under him on that slick spot. I know Ken was somewhat supporting him, but with no shoes, Baron did his part by being agile enough to stay on his feet. Dealing with adverse weather conditions is always a judgment call. A good teamster, a good support horse, and a willing colt greatly improved the odds for success. Wishing you all a blessed and prosperous New Year. God bless!

@femalecrusader8389 Год назад

Baron realy doing well. 🐴

@cicibradley2809 Год назад

I love how Barron lined himself up at 2:36. Nice colt.

@janasharooni5203 Год назад

I love Bears tail

@MrWaterbugdesign Год назад

16:20 Baron kicked it into 4 wheel drive, a different gait, kind of hopping. Looked more stable while still moving forward. Always amazes me how quickly brains adjust for conditions.

@chrism1164 Год назад

"Isn't he one smart Cookie?" : ) Dear me!! Slippery ice!! Scarry to watch! Horses did so great! Thanks for sharing.

@twocooneys Год назад

I bet Baron enjoyed his hay and dinner after working so hard. He's doing very well and Ken is taking great care of him. Will you shoe Baron at some point?

@nancymahasky2377 Год назад

Your posts are just so peaceful to watch.

@anthonysutherland9487 Год назад

What a wonderful opportunity to build Baron’s trust.

@cindycarlson7881 Год назад

Enjoyed this video so much! Your calm voice and control of the horses on the icy part is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your lives. Praying you have a wonderfully blessed year to come! 💜❤

@tracyjohnson2992 Год назад

First of all i would like to wish you Jim and Brenda and the whole family a happy new year full of good health and good cheer and great success in 2023. Barn is coming along nicely i think Ken managed to keep Baron pretty calm considering he had no traction at all, with bare hooves. It always pays for the new horses to have an experienced horse like Ken to bring him on and keep him calm. Hearing your voice telling him Careful also helped him tremendously like the other day when he got a little spooky on the black top when you had him with Ken then the next few times on his own. He is going to make a great team horse and i hope his brothers will learn that too. Baron and Ken deserve a carrot or apple for keeping a cool head in trying circumstances. I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas. God bless you all

@kevintengvall4642 Год назад

Wow! for someone who has never had to work horses in ice , I found this video quite tense, Barron did a great job under the circumstance's, he seems to be a good advert for his breed. a great video thank you.

@normafollet7156 Год назад

In all that deep snow you two, are your hand, faces, and feet feeling the icy cold, especially ones feet? How you both must love your calture of farming, sometimes it makes me feel cold watching you. ⛄🐠

@ameliaf784 Год назад

Really appreciate you showing the real situation - complete with risks- that is what you need to do when working with the horses! You are a rock for those horses, so calm, inspiring to see.

@karenatha7890 Год назад

I just about shrieked when Baron found his footing. That's impressive. Liked the poetry in motion.

@terrythomas7035 Год назад

They trust you so they just love to work

@ellisc.foleyjr9778 Год назад

The trials and tribulations of farming. I thought for a second there that Baron was going on his butt. but he skated pretty good and maintained his balance and all went well as could be expected. You didn't mention how long it took the cows to cross that ice? Also glad Ken and his family had good time with the ride and cabin and skating etc. and that was nice of them to give you tha picture. great gesture. thanks for sharing and Happy New Year Jim, Brenda and family. ECF,

@michaelbissen1946 Год назад

Ken's shoes are like having studded snow tires, great job Baron!!

@polarlab113 Год назад

Wow I would worried a slip turns into a wreck and you wouldn’t want to have him put up because of injury like torn cartiledge or pulled ligaments I’ve seen it happen and watching that stuck tractor incident gives me the shivers

@rodneywroten2994 Год назад

I think Ken helps BARON BY no loosing it . Baron is trying hard

@RaymondWKing-dn8wf Год назад

Have you ever seen Shows with short spikes as well as corks and heals, it's my understanding that they were used on Horses and Mules when my Folks were cutting / sawing Ice of Ice Ponds and Lakes around here in Delta County Colorado in the Winter for the many Ice houses. My Folks used Coal Slack and Saw Dust to pack the Ice year-round, worked well. The Spikes helped Horses to be a little more Shure footed on Ice

@ms.royahrens8777 Год назад

Impressive how cool Ken stayed when Baron was having challenges. Ken is such a good “mentor” for Baron! You can almost hear him: “When I push you, that means Gee; when I pull you that is Haw… we need to work together, but I got ya for now.” What a very thoughtful gift you received! Awesome video as usual! God Bless-Happy New Year!

@suearata9166 Год назад

Wow your horses are amazing! That ice is scary! Montana here and I cringe when my saddle horses walk on ice! I just love watching these gentle giants and the way they listen to you, spectacular! I am new to your site and will go back and watch your videos!,Ty both and horses also for sharing!❤🐎🐎

@markeetafarmer541 Год назад

One year we had moved the cows to their winter pasture , but we never caught the 2 donkeys to move them. So my buddy who owned the farm says Lets go try n get the donkeys into the corral. So using cob corn we could get their attention, but they wouldn't cross the frozen creek. My buddy explained to me that sometimes they won't risk injury by crossing ice. So he asks me Any ideas? Sometimes I think he was testing me. So I suggested that if they can't see the ice they may cross it, Basically lets cover it with hay. So we had to go get some hay and covered the crossing. I found out later that it worked . The funny thing of this is After we got back to his house to warm up and have some coffee his wife asked if we caught them. After telling her No she said. Well, Who's the Jackass's now? Half frozen our faces red from wind burned we just quitly sipped our coffee's

@julijopeterson7096 Год назад

Gosh. I felt so sorry for Barron when he was sliding & struggling over that ice. He looked like he needed knee protector boots, if there even is such a thing. What a good boy.

@lindysmith13 Год назад

I'm so glad you ended up with Baron. It is a perfect place for him to be.

@paulinarapicka Год назад

There are on-the-market clip / snap hooks that are more temp resistant. I have one for my dog when we go sled/bicycle riding. I think it is called a bronze snap hook. ;)

@zingerdoutdoors2311 Год назад

My Grandpa had a horse named Duke, he said was lazy!!! I see how you can tell who is pulling by the evener!!! What a joy to have a horse to work with Barron that is so calm and disciplined!!!

@robertschilling3308 Год назад

Ice and snow can be treacherous for man or beast. Risk of injury is high. Watching your team struggle on that ice sent shivers up my spine. A very scary moment. I gave up riding my horses in snow for that reason.. for work as you do it is necessary. I understand that. But for elective reasons I stopped. Sad part is I really enjoyed snow riding. Again, I am not criticizing. Just relayin my thoughts why I ceased snow riding. Great job in handling the team when they crossed that ice. 👍.

@michaelbaugh1679 Год назад

Jim and your wife great video .Lot of rough conditions to endure ice,snow,and coldness .Barron looked good enduring the conditions for the first time bare footed without shoes with clits.It’s hard to stand on ice.Ken gave him a lot of support. Your experience gave Barron the lessons of conditions he will have to endure.😎

@lorrieroberts3007 Год назад

@paulmartens4442 Год назад

When would you start using shoes on Barron?

@johnkomosa4089 Год назад

Wow, Baron must have really enjoyed this learning experience. His adrenaline pumping at times. The ice patch , I think of a pulled stabilizer ligament, so appreciate the great effort to avoid that again. Great video in the Farm wild, flash freeze, wow. Nice touch at the end of the video and great gift that framed photo is very nice. Nice Folks all around, that's why I am here.. Now I have to watch one of Abby's videos, , after I get some work done. Thank you.

@jangrahame4891 Год назад

Speaking of start n stop. When my dad was ten he was given his dad's best team hitched to a milk delivery wagon for his first delivery route that he would do before school twice a week. This would have been in 1932. The horses knew the route, and would stop at every house that bought milk from our dairy operation. Sometimes there would be several houses in between stops. As soon as dad jumped down with his basket of goodies for one house, the horses would roll on to the next house on their route and stop. Where they would wait for dad to catch up and sort the next delivery. If dad was too slow to jump down at a stop, the gray would kick the wagon lightly a time or two to wake him up. Because of course 10 year old boys tend to fall asleep when woken up at 4 am! That team trained him well. Grandpa ran teams even after the war because of the unreliability of autos in cold weather back then. The horses used were a rangy part draft breed, usually Suffolk, (as there were farmers from Great Britain who had settled nearby who had a stallion) part working ranch horse of mixed breeding. Most were 16 hands or better, and could pull up pretty steep hills and break thru drifts with ease. In the winter grandpa would pull the wheels and put the wagons on runners. I love watching the way you work with your horses and having been around some Percherons and Belgians, I have to say I am so impressed with Baron and the Suffolk breed in general.

@johnkomosa4089 Год назад

Cool story.

@charlottehuffman9748 Год назад

Oh my gosh I was so scared Baron was going to fall and break a leg. You got lucky this time jim! Ken saved him, having shoe's on, it helped baron hold up. On the flip side great video, Brenda is a jewel she does everything you tell her to do. That's a awesome wife you got Jim. She does a fantastic job filming.
