It really warms my heart that so many folks have donated so much. Oliver isn't the only one healing on this journey. To your health, Oliver & Co!

[@sallysmerchek3660]

Oliver's journey has been healing for me as well. I am glad you feel the same way.

[@gailalbers1430]

i just hope the cash Oliver brought to his previous mates in the farm he was neglected at , was used to help his mates there he left behind there. I am just flabbergasted why they treated him so . He is everything ❤.

[@ldirk58601]

@@gailalbers1430 I got the impression that Jr spoke up to someone regarding the state of those other horses.he just didn't advertise it and thats the right thing to do.

[@Magicspells1]

@@elainelewis9545 same! I just on the edge of my seat watching him get better. I feel bad for the other Clydesdales who lost their life from neglecting

[@DipityS]

I get the feeling Oliver just didn't understand why his owners were cruel to him - didn't care properly for him - didn't feed him properly - treated him with abuse and ugliness and evil. He just accepted and accepted and kept waiting for the day he'd be treated like he was when he was a baby on his first farm, just hoping the owners would stop being evil and would finally act right and hold out a kind generous hand. Well, they couldn't do that, because they let the devil in their heart. You are good people, on the other hand, and now I get the feeling Oliver understands exactly how lucky he is and he's soaking in every bit of care and compassion and love he can from his new people and just hoping it stays this way. Thank you for being the kind hand Oliver deserves.

[@tammybreuker7831]

He truly looks like a different horse in your care, I remember the auction video and his head was down and it absolutely broke my heart. I’m so grateful I found that video on KZbin and get to follow Oliver’s journey, God bless. 🙏

[@lisaladybug8975]

I 100% agree with you.

[@robindelude3787]

I agree! Sweet Oliver has come so far since that first meeting. He was so sad & pitiful. Not any more! Being with the Rosa family has made a world of difference for Oliver. ❤

[@DK-he1ge]

Oliver looks so much better!! He's a good boy and knows you are helping & loving him. He's eating like a champ!! God bless you all for saving him. Whatever progress he makes, is a beautiful thing. Just the fact that he is loved, cared for and in a beautiful home is a total blessing for him. Thank you so much ❤️ Praying 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

[@mikepower4113]

Oliver definitely looks better. Great job.

[@tamo9520]

This is hilarious! Correction - Oliver is hilarious! In the beginning when you are brushing him & informing us of the EPM medication & what exactly that is, it's as if he's saying, "C'mon Dad! Don't stop brushing me! I'm being polite as I can be by waiting as patiently as I can, but you keep stopping! Stopping & talking! Just brush me please? Don't stop!" He keeps trying to turn his head to nudge you to get your attention! It's just extremely cute of the young fella! ❤

Oliver is looking so much better ! Thanks to you all😍

I warms my heart every time I see all of you hug those big pasture kids

So weird to watch this now in January 2024. Oliver was so thin and sick in this video. He's a different looking animal now, that's for sure! He's such a sweetheart and I love him!

[@robinsawyer8705]

I agree, thank you for sharing Oliver’s life saving journey with us on KZbin. You have a loving heart for these animals. I look a few times everyday anticipating another updated video. I want you to know that I am becoming an even better animal person because of you and sweet Oliver. God bless.

What a blessing to see Oliver responding to such love and care! He is so worth it!!

[@liltink8869]

You can see the difference from beginning to end of his bath. By the end he's licking and chewing. I love the light that's back in his eyes. I absolutely adore your family for knowingly taking in a very sick horse to help him get better.

Getting clean, spoiled and healthy... YAHOO!!

when he is full grown, he is going to be a heart stopper

He wasn't too keen on the shower, but I think he knew it was a good thing and he trusts you. Such a joy to see him responsive and attentive. God bless you for your care of this magnificent horse. Only 2 years old and been through so much. I believe he knows he's safe.

Somehow I see a hot water tank being added to that bathing/stock setup. Your viewers love this boy, if they can't send any more apple treats, they might get creative with other upgrades in life! Even on a hot day some warmed hose water for a bath is a nice treat. Not a guarantee but just a prediction.

🌻🌿🌷🐴🍀🌺🐎🎄😇❤ I'm ecstatic to see Oliver looking brighter and walking a little better. It still shocks me that Oliver's auction owner was so negligent, not caring for a registered clydesdale.

Poor Oliver! His previous owners did a terrible job of caring for him. He's looking better and more alert than when you first got him, he's definitely getting good food and medication and hopefully on the road to recovery. I know you're doing all you can to bring him back to health and it's obvious just looking at him. Thank you for your ultimate care of Oliver, you and your wife are angels in overalls. Oliver has the most handsome eyelashes!! 😊😊God bless you.

[@sarahwheeler1594]

Agreed! Great comment 👍🏻🥰!

[@karenjmullins]

Now,now,….previous owners maybe did the best they could do. They saw they could not care for their horses and just started trying to sell them too late. At least that is what I’m hoping happened…BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, THERE GO I ……

[@rutherose23]

Previous owners should be reported to the humane society / local authorities

[@bham311]

EPM isn’t from abuse or neglect. The other issues (anemia etc) needed to be addressed obviously and were likely connected to the level of care Oliver had been receiving, but I have a horse that went undiagnosed with EPM from two different vets. They both recommended dietary changes etc etc, but neither ever mentioned EPM. It wasn’t until the horse had an episode where he couldn’t swallow that they were able to diagnose it. The symptoms were nowhere near as bad as Oliver had (thank goodness) and my horse has made a full recovery. Not everyone should have horses, but nobody knows what the whole story is…easy to point fingers and criticize.

[@Ijustmetagirlnamedmaria]

This is a noble horse .. so sweet❤

He is looking great

[@RedHybiscus]

There is a similar story here on KZbin however the horse is a Shire and the Shire made an incredible recovery. I don’t think that horse had EPM but was definitely neglected. It took lots of love, care, and training to rebuild the muscles but I think Oliver now has the ability to become an amazing stallion too. I am so happy for him.

[@BrienaSkysong1]

I think I know that fellow; Apollo the Shire? (Don't know him personally, but watched the videos lol)

Praying he has a complete recovery, because most of us know EPM is a nasty disease. Love all your doing for this handsome boy ❤️. Without y'all, Oliver would have had a horrible an painful life and a very short life as well 😢 which really would have been such a sad shame for such a magnificent and kind horse. Blessings to you all 🙌 Jennifer
