Oliver's Auction - First Time Meeting Our Rescued Clydesdale❤️

We head to a horse auction! So many beautiful horse were there! Quarter horses, draft horses, ponies of all sizes and the cutest donkey ever! Even a few unusual animals showed up. And then we saw THE ONE…..

I could never go to a horse auction. I'd want to take all of them home. :(

[@morticiaheisenberg9679]

Same. Just watching the video breaks my heart. I couldn't imagine being there and not taking all those babies

[@oldageisdumb]

But if you could save one, wouldn’t your discomfort be worth the safety of that one horse? People think that can’t do things, but sometimes helping those in need require you to be stronger than you think you can be.

[@Lee-nh5bb]

@@oldageisdumb Yes, that's a really important point, like the people who rescue wildlife with terrible injuries. They definitely put the welfare of the animals ahead of their own comfort levels.

[@oldageisdumb]

@@Lee-nh5bb I hear a lot of people say, “I could never foster. I’d be so sad to give them up.” The reality is they are willing to let the animal die so that they won’t be sad. I’m sure they aren’t thinking of it in that way, but that’s the way it is.

[@SolitudeSometimesIs]

If the Clydesdale was a no sale, I would have approached the owner and asked to buy him privately

[@donnacsuti4980]

Agree

[@trippin9899]

He would have had to offer more than what the owner would've made from the final bid, which was already over his budget. The problem is that the owner thinks the horse is worth more than what people are willing to pay for it.

[@paulinerai5078]

Sometimes, we'll pretty often the owners get emotionally attached and think their horse is worth more than it actually is, l think as long as they are going to be sold to a good home that's more important

[@trippin9899]

@@paulinerai5078 but we have to remember, that while the owner is holding this horse hostage in hopes of getting more money at a different auction, they are not feeding it adequately. They are not giving it medical care. This horse is suffering, and it's incredibly selfish of the owners to demand more money for a horse they don't even value enough to feed.

[@1jazzyphae]

@@paulinerai5078 why take it to an auction in the first place then? If you truly love your horse you wouldn't put it in a stressful environment for money

[@ReformedTryHard]

Nice shout out to Shae and Kyle at Free Spirit. Great way to support community!

[@chandarussell]

I can’t do horse auctions. They tend to break my heart. I run a horse rescue so I frequently get calls to come and rescue horses from these places. I send my husband or my brother to see what can be done. You’re right about the eyes, you can always tell where a horses head is at or how they’re feeling by looking into their eyes.

[@judytinker3392]

Oliver and his mini friend are too cute who would’ve known a mini pony and a Clydesdale now figure that one out, but everybody needs a friend

[@kalayne6713]

I did a horse auction once, never again. Heartbreaking, especially as the knackery people were there too. Horses are not commodities like used cars, they are sentient beings. Sad to see their eyes, they are resigned to their fate, whatever that may be. Bless them all.

[@WilliamCampbell-hv5zx]

What gets me about this video is the way Jerrod looked at Oliver the first time he saw him. You could see the love in his face. Glad everything worked out and Oliver ended up where the people around him were loving and caring and knowledgeable about how to care for horses. They've done a great job with Oliver. Just a great family.

[@jonnysuperglide]

Man we love your channel guys we are from pittsburgh Pennsylvania we love the horses the whole thing is beautiful thank you for all this amazing stuff our names are Jen and jon we love Oliver he is so beautiful got a huge model of the Clydesdale horse and buggy my grand father build in 1980 I would love to have one of them horses some day god bless you all stay gold

The beginning for Oliver to go live in heaven!!! Thank you so much for all the good care for sweet Oliver! Watch all the videos, love you from the Netherlands.

[@shawnabeach1732]

I love watching hing Shae at Free Spirit Equestrian! I love her bonus foal...Esmerelda!!!

[@cattymajiv]

She is the most gorgeous horse I've ever seen! And so exuberant! Although it was Ariel who really shone with the last video, where Shae was training them both on ground poles. That was quite the surprise! Because normally Ariel is the 1 who is more hesitant. But she shone like a diamond! And in the "short" video where Ariel actually jumped over a jump that had been left in the set up position! Sure it was a low jump, but she did it just for fun, not because she was asked. She just jumped it out of the blue! It was so spectacular to see! I love them both. What a treat to have these 2 wonderful channels! And the fact they are friends with each other makes it all even better! ❤🐴🐎🐴❤

[@freespiritequestrian]

I loved the appy and the grey QH mare was gorgeous and that pony OMG! Yes there were so many I would have wanted lol 😂

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Wasn’t that gray mare a beauty! Even more so in person. We were sad we didn’t get the pony, if we had to do it over I’d say we would go a bit higher on him but we set our price before his sale and decided to stick with it🤷🏻‍♀️

[@freespiritequestrian]

@@homesteadhorsemanship I know exactly what you mean. I always do that at sales then look back and go why didn’t I go higher haha. But then when you do it just keeps going up.

That appy at 8:48 😯

[@marileearsenault4749]

Sorry you didn’t get him, there was something about him that tugged at the heart. I only rode a horse a handful of times, my parents always owned a couple, but I wasn’t interested back then, but two of my sisters were and still love horses. I started watching videos over a month or so ago and fell in love with all the horses. Beautiful beast indeed.

Fantastic Horse. I Love Horse. ❤

[@shelljw]

Starting Clydies under saddle is so much fun. And yes he is so far under weight its not funny - I reckon he'd want a nice balanced feed with vitamins and minerals, plenty of good quality grass hay if no access to good pasture .... I cant believe that some folk go 'oh I have to feed them everything NOW' then wonder why they founder them :/ lol That pony stud you found that you had a feel to make sure was a boy was probably hoping you were going to take him to dinner first! lol Well done on the mini belted gallway bull - and hes red!!!!!! Out here in Australia that would be so rare. Belted ones here are black generally be they little or big. Thats horrible on the Clyde not selling and having to go home to the crappy place :( Cheers, from Australia

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Yes, the red isn’t quite as common as the black here either. You see them, just not as much.

[@merrelthorson2224]

We have had red belted's before, cross the belted with a red poll or pinzgaur, l'm from Australia.

[@shelljw]

@@merrelthorson2224 AWESOME that's great to hear! Clearly I've just not come across one yet. I love colour genetics - my chosen breed of horse is the Cleveland Bay, so most have come out Bay, however have had Liver chestnuts that went grey as mum had chestnut and grey dad had chestnut in too and threw that beside being a biiiig bay boofer himself. The odd Chestnut from two bay parents or one bay and one chestnut parent when dad threw his copy of chestnut. A smokey black from a bay mum, a perlino dad. Same mare threw a black to a black tobiano with not an ounce of white. Could go on.... And my Grandfather (RIP) bred pigs for showing, selling and eating...and got a variety of colours and patterns too. Question re the cattle: with the horses, you can go Tobiano to about anything, but Overo can go to solid, Tobiano, Max White Sabino or Generic Sabino - socks, stockings, clydie like markings etc... But Overo to Overo is an25% chance of a lethal white which will have to be pts shortly after birth when it's decided it is a LW. Don't even get me started on Roans... Do you get the issues with cattle and markings/genetics?

[@shelljw]

Oh and don't mind spelling, grammar and everything today - rough night pain wise

[@cattymajiv]

@@shelljw I'm so sorry you are in pain. I have MS and related chronic pain. My heart goes out to you. Christmas can be much harder than the rest of the year too, so be good to yourself and DO NOT OVERDO IT!

Pro tip from a backcountry rider with Clydesdales-go barefoot! They take to it easy. Just keep up with minerals, turnout, and a 4 week trim cycle because they’re built to work hard 😉

[@shielarobitaille1534]

I just bought a 18 month Clyde filly. Named her Ruby. This was a private sale. I'm waiting on registry papers from Canada!! Don't feel bad. I paid $8500.00 for her in SoCal. She needs a lot of work....ground work. Cheers from Socal 💚✌

Appy was beautiful but went higher than I would have paid at a sale (I’ve over paid to many times haha), private sale where you can spend more time and try than yes! I agree with you about the Clyde. That was shocking.

New on KZbin and I just ran into your video. Absolutely busted my heart when I seen that little Clydesdale and you didn’t get them so sad. Don’t know if I can keep doing this.

I have never been to one of these, and have been afraid of large animals, however, I love watching them run, and people caring for them. You did a great job with this video and seem like such a caring knowledgeable person about the animals. I am so glad I ran across this video. That little calf looked so cute, just jumping into the trailer like that! I hope you run across the horse you fell in love with. Thank you for sharing!

[@cattymajiv]

Just in case you don't already know, JR was able to buy that Clydesdale after all, partly because veiwers sent him money and begged him to find him. The horse was nearly dead by the time JR got there to rescue him. Several others around him did die! But JR paid the $5000 they were asking, and a whole lot more, thousands more in vet bills and special medication for EPM, which crippled the horse so badly he could almost not even walk, and high quality feed to help him gain weight. They named him Oliver, and he has gained nearly 1000 pounds now! He's so healthy and happy! He's loved so much, and he knows it. It's one of the few stories we see with a really happy ending. If you haven't already seen the later videos on him, Homestead Horsemanship's channel has a playlist just for Oliver, where you can follow his story. It's so heartwarming! This channel and the channel of their friend Shae, at Free Spirit Equestrian, are my 2 favorites. When I have my morning coffee I always look for them. No matter how miserable I am in the morning, the positive vibes from them always cheer up, so I can face the day! If you already know the stuff about Oliver, I'm sorry. I just thought in case you didn't already know I should tell you, because you mentioned it. You seem like a caring person. All the best you, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas! ❤🐴🐎🐴❤

@@kristenkaz3080 I was thinking the same, they end up in slaughter.

[@kristenkaz3080]

@@AquaFrost777 I used to live in Wisconsin & was surrounded by the Amish. They are not the nice people, people think they are. They are the largest puppy mill producers in the USA, they’re abusive to animals-horses especially. There was a retirement farm for draft near my farm & the horse there were mostly Amish drafts rescued off slaughter trucks. They’re almost always blind in one eye. If they’re blind in the right eye, they’re the right side of the hitch. Left eye blindness, left hitch. Because the Amish CANE DRIVE them by striking the horse on the side of the face to steer them. The Amish think we’re foolish to put so much love, care & attention into our animals. They are nothing but service animals to them. And when the service has come to its end, either the breeding dogs are shot, or the horses are slaughtered. No remorse.

That mare didn’t look 17 hands.. 16 hands maybe.. and just because it’s a Quarter Horse doesn’t mean it can’t be 17hh. It’s not that common but I saw quite a number of very tall AQHA registered horses showing Hunter in the National circuit.

[@ladychiere]

For those worried about the Clyde colt, maybe this can help you not be too worried; One reason the Clyde colt was a tad on the thin side could be because there’s some research that shows fast growing plump babies can suffer joint issues such as osteochondrosis dessicans and epiphysitis. There seems to be some genetic relevance as it seems to run in bloodlines, (in many breeds,) but scientists are far from finding the key genes. Couple that with a recent growth spurt (his rump and withers seem on an even level; he’s not currently butt high like most 20 month olds are,)(and not the last growth spurt; he’s got a few more years of them,) and toss a bit of dehydration on top of it all, (because apparently other places’ water is Actually Poison and I refuse to try it,) and you have a few good reasons to not think he’s being neglected. IE, to not worry that he’s going back into a neglectful situation. Our vet wanted to see a hint of ribs on our foals until they were 2 yrs old. Granted, she also wanted them to have frisky trots, bright eyes, glossy coats, and nosey personalities. All signs of good health. And which I didn’t see on the Clyde colt. But It drove non-breeders crazy as they had no idea. Fat horse = healthy horse right? No, fat horse = healthy farrier and vet bills. Anyway, my question was, if the owner no saled him because he felt the colt was worth more, did he have the colt’s genetic disease panels done? A large percentage of drafts can have PSSM, which would be bad. Before buying a horse make sure!

Glad you said this. Most people don’t understand that bigger horses tend to be on the thin side until fully grown as the calories are used up in growth rather than fattening. A slightly ribbed colt is a good thing in some breeds and over fattening can be the cause of laminitis. To me rather than looking sad he actually looked like he was board and dozing. Just like my big boy does at home!

Thank you for posting your comments. I feel better about that poor horse. I don’t even know why they posted this video. It was depressing. I am UNSUBSCRIBING

Amish horse meat auction...sick

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks some truth to this I have been trying to respond to people that he wasn’t so thin to the point that the law could do something for abuse but he was thin to the point he needed better care. If you really know what your doing in person you can tell by poop his forage was poor. And he looked worse in person than on video. He was lethargic from nutrition. But no where near death the things you said compiled without not enough feed.

@@TumbleweedUSA If you can't handle a video of an auction, well... I don't even know what to say. What on earth are you doing on KZbin?!

Will have to give the restaurant a try when down that way. Thanks.

[@richardlloyd9976]

I did a little research on Clydesdale IF his papers said he has a good breeding, he is worth more; but just having papers doe's-not mean he is worth more. That guy that owns him is a jerk for not taking better care of him. The way he is only worth about $3,000.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks for the information.

[@bevanmudge867]

It is extremely infuriating seeing horses at auctions in such appalling conditions it is always the poor horses who suffer at the hands of man’s ignorance and greed . 🤬

[@chrystalmonroe3234]

Yeah I agree they are usually more stocky, costs more to feed them right

[@rebeccauurtamo857]

I like that you want to purchase at an auction but find it disturbing that you want to breed while seeing the results of over breeding and slaughter trucks in those horses futures .Rescue a mini instead.Just a thought.

[@lspthrattan]

@@rebeccauurtamo857 many draft breeds are in danger of dying out.
