Horse Chiropractor!?

Victor Justin Rhodes and his kids build a mineral feeder, work on stalls, and call in a chiropractor to release tension in their horse's tail. They also make Brazilian cheese buns and prepare a Thanksgiving meal together.

Everybody ready to go? I like it. It's a wet one. You know where a box of screws is? 2.5-inch? We don't have any. We're out. Still no baby, huh, Vanilla? Got the shop cleaned up. Ready to build this mineral feeder. Waiting on Annie to bring some screws when she comes. We want to hang out over an inch on each side. So that's 2 foot 1. Jonah, can you hoist that mat into here? Jonah reminded me we cut this conveyor belt thing for the saw, so we better do that out here. It's probably too thick. What you building? I'm building a baby horse— well, a colt and fillies barn. These are little stalls and I'm working on the roof. A conveyor belt stuffed too thick. I do happen to have some— what is this? This is mat. This is a quarter inch. Is it gonna work? No. You come hold the camera and let me try it. It's not the tool for the job. Yeah. Is that gonna do it? Yeah. Wow. Have you noticed it's just me but the kids are all around? Gideon! I think it's too much. Come here! No! Everybody down, please. This is not a playground. Can you put my mineral feeder down? What's the point of doing this alone? Isn't it much better to do with a— as a family? Randolph! Yeah, I'm putting the boards on y'all's end and coming this way. All right, just in time. We can't do anything without screws, but Annie's here. You're just in time with those screws. Come back, guys. I am. Gideon! Come back, come back, please. I had bought lag bolts. Whoa, whoa! Oh man. Right through it. Be gentle, don't, don't go in so hard. He's outvoted me with roofing screws, which is probably not a bad idea because they have washers on them. Water from getting down in there. Just do it gentle though, that this will puncture over time, I'm afraid. This is a bit— this, I was gonna say beta, maybe it is beta, uh, uh, prototype. Y'all can build this one day, but we've got to perfect it first. That's what I had to do, I had to just let him take charge to be involved. Now he's bossing me around. Really, we should have put the legs on before we put the mat on. Drilling the hooks now. Look at this idea they have. You wrap that up and I'll start cleaning up. It is done. Save a cable and save labeling. It is done. And the goal with this one was to be more manageable. Oh yeah, that's going to be much more— well, we haven't put the minerals in it, which can add quite a bit of weight. Josiah's on it. He and I are gonna enjoy this the most. Skins, cut them into little 1-2 inch squares. Kaden's making the lunch today. Not too hard today, right, Kaden? Peaches is going to the chiropractor. Oh, do we? Well, it's only 5 minutes away. I figured this would be good content for you all. And I'm not sure why Rebecca's going. Why do you think your mom's going? She's into the chiropractor, even if it's for an animal. You're that person now, huh? It's just a drink. It's just a red juice drink to help my— You have everything you need? I do. All I need is him. I had a task for the kids. Will you cut the fat off of those skins? You better give me those pork ribs. I'll be honest, I don't like to get the kids them because the kids can eat corn chips. I don't eat corn chips. It's my only treat. And once we're out, we're out. You can't buy organic pork rinds. We have to grow them ourselves. Dig pretty deep in there, but you'll feel a really tight band of scar tissue that you can kind of move your finger over. Put your fingers on that tight band of tissue. And just do little circles from one end to the other, 30 seconds to a minute. Just try to loosen up that tissue. I'm just doing a little tail tension release. Oh, be careful. Little acupuncture needles too on Peach. Hi, you getting some experience? And we're back and we're doing Yet another horse thing. Getting Lily a very inexpensive horse ring. We priced the real ring— very expensive. And then we had the nice idea for these temporary panels. Oh no, whoops, I shouldn't have had him do that. Hey, you missed the action just in time. We had him go round and up. Oh, just barely messed it up there. My mistake. It must have really rained here while he was gone. All right, let's go. Let's go eat. Jonah, is this all we got? Skins, I think. I have no idea. I don't know what's going on. Hey boys, why didn't you finish the skins? These are fine. Are disgusting. What did you make us, darling? Cheese. So it's the Brazilian cheese buns, but I changed the recipe a little bit because I was trying something different, and then I added more cheese. Spaghetti. Mom, you knocked it out of the park. So thankful for you. Thankful for everybody at the table. Growing our own food and eating what we grow. Happy Thanksgiving.
