My first thought, after “WOW” ………..”This guy doesn’t believe in hooking to a vehicle, does he?” 🙂

I’ve been holding my tongue, and letting it sink in, but it takes all kinds. Unfortunately this kind of display gets the attention of SO many people that it can only foster a twisted view of working with animals.

Jim Ostergard working in the woods with a single horse in the Boreal forest of northern Maine, or J-L feeding cattle with horses and mules on wind-swept fields in Wyoming, or Matt Stacy moving hay bales with a pair of calves in the hills of Vermont are equally amazing to me.

At first the link took me to a Cane Corso Breed website. I might suggest looking “the flying frenchman” up on youtube.

Secondly, the Jerry Seinfeld comment REALLY threw me off, haha, untill the last 30 seconds of the video when I realized…….this guy looks exactly like Jerry Seinfeld.

Thirdly Carl, imagine how many cuts and scrapes your face would have after a long day of logging like this. It would look like you just got into a fight with a giant mole.

Forthly…..aren’t the horses kidneys located where he is standing ?

Aw, comeon….you guys can’t be serious:p. The guy is young and goodlooking, has gorgeous horses and knows how to have some fun!

Carl, I’m gonna make you run the barrels on Peanut bareback if you keep this up…:D

Jen, I can picture Carl practicing this stunt with his horses in the swamp behind your sisters house. Only he is not using lines, just voice because he also armed and ready just in case the local moose have a crazy notion or two.:D Just watch, someday he will have a clip of it posted on Youtube.

Seems like the guy is having fun and knows what he is doing – look at some of the links and home videos – lots of horses and alot of respect-

I wasn’t referring to his skill, or talent, of which he obviously has a lot, nor did say that he shouldn’t get recognition. I see a very careful and thoughtful man engaged with his animals in an amazing feat.

What is twisted is the glitz and commercial enterprise that is obviously making huge amounts of money off of him. What is twisted, is that his skill is being wasted, in my mind, on show-biz.

The reason I mentioned the other examples is because those people, and many others of us, are hidden from view in the mundane and seemingly bland experiences of trying to make livelihoods while employing our animals in working situations.

I find those examples more appealing, that’s all.
