Oliver and Homestead Horsemanship Q & A! - Rescued Auction Horse❤️

[@cgp1442]

Oliver is definitely your soulmate ❤

[@robinsawyer8705]

I can’t believe such a huge difference in the way he looks and moves and how much more alert and stronger he is!

[@TraceyKenny]

He looks wonderful 👍

[@laurieswain3832]

Don’t let them come. Keep safe no one at your property protect yourself imma survivor sanctuary has to have a stack of papers for people to sign plus crazy’s will or might stalk you. Always keep your family safe

[@randygunn9499]

I agree with your comments but remember there are still a lot of good folks out there. But like you said.Peace

[@kbaker9804]

I’m a huge fan, but think that seeing Oliver and others on You Tube is just fine! Don’t put yourselves at risk!

[@bigfoottreehugger12213]

Your right ISS had to deal with lugnuts trespassing it scared them I wouldn’t recommend opening your home 😮

[@MichaelArlt]

Completely agree with Laurie. You guys showing more than enough to the people out there. Your family is everything and it has to be protected

[@cattymajiv]

I also agree. Your privacy and safety are the only thing that matters. It doesn't matter what people think. No strangers on my farm under any circumstances! Many KZbinrs never even show their face, and I understand perfectly!

[@pamb2734]

Oliver actually looks happy and looks to be moving with pride!

[@Sam-dm4kz]

Oliver’s body is filling up good, he looks totally different from day one. Another month from now his engine will be running without misfires. He is looking good. You guys are wonderful.

[@catherineferguson7388]

Oliver is a handsome boy, he looks much more healthy looking, he’s lucky to have a loving family like you guys xxx

[@southernsunshine6154]

I started watching YT channels during the pandemic when we were shut in and now I watch very little TV. Based on the channels I see growing, I think people like me want to see you posting about your animals, caring for your animals, etc daily if possible. Very few people have experienced work on a farm. When my horse coliced, I slept in the barn or got up every two hours to check on her. Besides raising children, working with animals is the hardest but most rewarding work there is. Small family farms need to be celebrated and understood.

[@pumpkinporter1108]

I subscribed because of Oliver & you guys are wonderful! He's already looking so much better & happier!!! I just love Oliver!!! You will reach 100,000 because you teach us about these beautiful animals! Your kindness to the animals is beautiful! Thank you for saving Oliver!!!

[@Butterfly-mt5ml]

I don’t even have horses and in Oliver’s story, I’ve already learned so much! I love Mr Oliver and am cheering for him in Indiana! ❤

[@KR-ti5uz]

I enjoy your channel and Oliver's up dates

[@hollyhealey5535]

Oliver's demeanor has completely changed. It's so nice to see him looking happier!

[@nonawade1336]

Oh my gosh we have to see him playing galloping and being a happy horse PLEASE

[@bethmotgomery2662]

You just have to be patient.

[@podunk_woman]

I think she is just requesting a video of what they said he's been doing. Sheesh

[@billcarrell8622]

20Thanks! Enjoyed the walk and talk. Oliver getting everything he needs and he sure seems to be enjoying life. Fresh green grass and cool clear water. You all and your farm are in my prayers. Bill

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Wow! Thanks Bill ❤

[@elsestelema6273]

I don’t agree that he wouldn’t have a purpose as a gelding, Budweiser use geldings as far as I know and they are also used as riding horses in other counties don’t know about in the us

[@sandyhorrobin9575]

Fantastic sight to see him a million times better in every way. 👍💕💖💝

[@kathlynterry8196]

What a difference you’ve made in that horse’s life. He’s no longer depressed, his coat looks amazing and his life is grand! Bless you and your family. Now all I need is a Budweiser.

[@contrarymargemarge9538]

Maybe once he's well Budweiser can let Oliver do a guest spot for a TV advertisement?

[@cattymajiv]

Budweiser is an atrociously abusive company toward their horses! Haven't you people seen what they do with them? Just google it! Enter "Budweiser horse accident" or "Calgary Stampede accident." That whole stampede should be outlawed! We all know that every second year a ton of horses die in a terrible chuckwagon accident. So why are they even doing it?

[@bethmotgomery2662]

I don't think that Oliver would fit. Remember that Budweiser uses a specific look. Bay color body, black mane and tail, well he covers the 4 white stocking and blaze though.

[@milliped_e]

@@bethmotgomery2662 You literally just described him..

[@bethmotgomery2662]

Oh

[@brandywineblue]

Thank you for setting people straight about God's purpose for animals and our duty to use them with kindess, to show appreciation to our Lord's gift of them

[@nannykat1057]

Amen!!!

[@bettyhappschatt3467]

I love to see Oliver getting stronger.

[@christinebrument6851]

He's going to be magnificent!! Adore Oliver such a gentle soul a pure heart.

[@shooster5884]

Oliver keeps moving when you stop brushing to get the shoulder point near you he wants you to keep brushing.. he arches his head when you brush there like he's in heaven!

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

He looks so much better, he's more relaxed, he's filling out, and his coat is looking healthier!

[@irenecheasman4445]

Oliver is looking a lot better your doing a marvellous job on him thankyou for all your updates on Oliver

[@barbarabradley7855]

I just got on your site. What does Oliver have? He's such a beautiful boy.😊

[@jackiewilson6249]

Glad to get an update on Oliver and so glad he has Colt to play with. You’re doing a great job for Oliver!

[@jossetteking4967]

Thank you for making this video (actually, for all of the videos) and updating us on Oliver. I don't believe he could be in better hands. The love and care all of you give him is doing wonders for him in every way. Emori (SP?) bless you for taking the scary step of quitting your job to devote your time to the channel. It was clearly meant to be. Your children are amazing. You must surely be tremendously proud of them. JR, I understand your thoughts on the purpose of animals. An old farm gal myself, I get it. Don't let anyone get you doubting yourself about this. You're a good man and a smart man. I appreciate all that you and your beautiful family do. Blessings to all of you. (And a bug hug for Oliver.)

[@deborahabernathy1757]

Oliver looks so good, he has come a.long way in such a short time, but I know we have a ways to go. Amazing! It's all the Wonderful Care and LOVE! You All Never Cease To Amaze Me! Oliver seems to love the camera and his sidekick Colt! God Bless !

[@janf817]

Oliver is improving every time we see him. I noticed how white his feathers were looking just before you said about them. This was a 'full of information' video and I liked the casual walk around with Oliver as you did it. I was also wondering about him itching so much, then you answered that too! I hope the dewormer helps with that. Thanks again for taking us all along on Olivers journey.

[@scrapper4563]

Oliver you're looking so much better! Your coat is so shiny and feathers so white and clean. Putting on some good weight there, and moving much better!

[@Clfike]

“Proof of the pudding is in the eating.” JR, your horses are ample proof you’re doing it right!! Keep it up! 🎉

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you Caroline!

[@donnac.1609]

Oliver is looking much more confident in where his feet are going!! Being able to move around outside is good for him! Being a stallion means he needs to be without mares❤ Will be interesting to see how his personality will evolve as he feels better. Too soon to be working with his feet....plenty of time for that. For him and farrier!

[@1_aiartist_1001effects]

He looks much happier, like on the firsts day.. thanks a lot JR.. greetings from Costa Rica Ruth 🇨🇭🇨🇷🇨🇭🇨🇷🇨🇭🇨🇷🇨🇭

[@bridgetcornman4495]

I think Oliver has a purpose! I believe with all my heart that he needed you as much as you needed him! He has provided so much already by helping your channel grow and allowing you to grow your business! With your education with horses you have a gift to give with training, teaching, riding lessons! Sometimes deciding to devote full time to something you love will give back more than you know! Thank you for sharing!!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

I totally agree! 👍

[@badgranny6311]

Fairly new viewer here(1week), you do not owe ANYONE an explanation as to your reasoning or motive for running your farm, that is your business!! Some of these questions are intrusive and borderline rude, the enormous sacrifices y’all have made and, are making to give your animals a wonderful and safe home is commendable, this is a full time job on top of the full time job you regularly work so, you’re doing way more than most…you’re giving back by offering your vast experience and knowledge which, by any standard, is invaluable…I’ll donate when I’m able to because I choose to, now, those who feel there’s an agenda here, you’re free to leave…farms and farmers are under attack in this country so, God bless, protect, and keep this precious family…hey Oliver👋👋👋💙🐴💙

[@michellestone1261]

He looks like he's feeling better. Glad you guys were the ones to bring him home to your farm.

[@karenduncan6004]

I am so delighted to see Oliver doing so well! He does have a long way to go to achieve full health, but when you brought him home, I wasn't sure he was going to make it. He really looked and acted like he had been rescued from the slaughter pipeline. Now he's so alert and lively, and starting to show some sass! Fantastic!

[@oksills]

I, We, appreciate and respect your beliefs, attitudes,and practices toward animals! With you 100% !!!

[@vertderferk]

Oliver looks so much better and much more lively. I was chuckling when he was demanding scritches. That little bit of sass is so encouraging. You are doing a wonderful job of care and he knows he has fallen into clover ❤

[@betsypool9928]

Oliver is looking great. You guys are doing a good job. Careful with guests and your insurance. Butt covering is cheap compared to legal issues.

[@ckswat77zz51]

Oliver’s colt has gotten so shiny. He’s such a handsome boy🐴❤️

[@tanneradams20]

That’s 20% rule has honestly prevented a lot of new riders from getting started. I’m 6’3 and 270 and ride almost daily. Yes, it is very horse particular, but that just adds to the fun. Finding that right horse and conditioning it is part of the joy

[@jjcameron7977]

No one can take from you that you'd rescued a beast who needed help. That's contributing to healing which goes out to the universe

[@cheriebrantner5543]

There is no reason to stall a horse unless it’s because of illness or bad weather. Keep that boy out and about to stay healthy and strengthen those muscles.

[@sheilahenn8549]

Thank you for taking the time to update us and answer questions. You have a wonderful family and beautiful farm. The running brook on your property is georgeous. All your attention and hard work for Oliver is paying off, he looks so much better. Thanks again and hope you have a wonderful Spring.

[@contrarymargemarge9538]

Dreams come true! So happy he found you and your family!

Greetings from Lisbon - Portugal

[@billwebb3371]

He looks so happy and content. What a blessing y’all are and continue to be for Oliver. Condolences on the loss of the Palamino. I loved the Memorial.

[@kathrynhayes1799]

Love what you said about how a horse matures , both physically and mentally.

[@paulinewhite2826]

Yes, Oliver is soooo special want to watch you train all your horses.❤

[@karenluebke4133]

Oliver is gorgeous and flourishing under your wonderful care.

[@nellayema2455]

I'm glad his sheath is healed! He must feel much better with that cleared up.

[@lindsayhedges2838]

Grand to see you out and about with Oliver. He has definitely improved. I cannot get over how mellow a fellow he is, especially since he is only two. 😢Congrats and keep up the good work.

[@mikehenry6284]

Ya know JR, I really appreciate your honesty. You are not a rich person, but you have a WEALTH of knowledge it sounds like some people don't approve of you saving "cheap" horses and making a profit. Well why shouldn't you turn a profit after ALL you've put into them (time, training, feeding, hoof care, medication etc.) I personally appreciate and thank you for taking these "unwanted" horses, and turning them around, making them beautiful family, and kid broke horses. Don't worry yourself about "trolls" unfortunately there will always be "haters" 😡. They're just unhappy people with nothing better to do than complain! I love your family, and everything y'all stand for! Blessings to you all 🙌❤️🇺🇲 Jennifer

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thanks it’s hard to ignore.

[@lovelylisawarriorqueen7923]

Olly looks Amazing! ❤🎉😊

[@grammadee94]

Your property is beautiful!!! And Oliver looks so much better!!!

[@Paula-sw2tt]

I know almost zero about horses and have never owned a horse. My brother has horses, so I have ridden before. I am also unemployed, so money is extremely tight right now. As much as I would love to become a patron, I can't afford it right now. Somehow I stumbled upon your channel. I find it fascinating and so educational. Love it.

[@BanglesAU]

Glad to see him improving so much.

[@m.w.3266]

I love Oliver. Such a sweet boy. Greetings from Monika

[@laurawentworth6237]

You guys are wonderful for what you do! I love your farm and your horses.. I can't wait to see Oliver when he's healthy

[@jenifereddings6190]

I just adore Oliver's eyebrows! The way they flare out is so cool!!!!❤

[@jenifereddings6190]

They look better than any other Clydesdale I've seen. 😂

[@jeanborchardt6909]

I am joining the Oliver fan club. He is beautiful.

[@kimmieb8376]

Well I think Oliver is special! I guarantee people will keep supporting you and your channel because of Oliver! He’s blowing up your channel and I think he’s going to keep people interested in him for a long time to come. Gelded or a Stallion, people love him.

[@wendydobler7285]

Love your channel and your down to earth philosophy! And of course, we love Oliver! 👍👍🤪‼️

[@nicsprettypapers4843]

Oliver looks so fluffy after his bath ❤

[@NadiChmie]

Kisses & Hugs to Oliver & Colt! Oliver seems to love the camera. He looks amazing! From the pictures at auction.....heartbreaking to now happy and beautiful! So clean & shiny in the sun! Your hard work and dedication has saved a life and has brought heart-smiles to many. Great work Oliver Family!! Colt is the cutest little cowboy! 🐴💕

[@typerexc]

Oliver looking so dapper! And eating, eating, eating lol. Love his white eyebrow feathers. I do see him improving and adjusting to/realizing his change of fortune and am heartened, but have to admit that more than once I have spared a thought for the other horses at the place where he came from. There were so many more, and obviously on the same road as Oliver. Bless you for your care of this one.

[@marnamoran4627]

The best part is your voices are pleasant ….thank you for not having excessive background music

[@margaretremick8954]

This was a very informative video! Thanks for taking the time to make and share your very interesting and busy life here!❤ Best wishes and prayers for continuing success and health to all of your family and critters!❤

[@Derra-Lee]

He's looking so much better 😊

[@cyndyfarmer2791]

So far I think that you are doing exactly what GOD wants you to do! God Bless!!

[@donnavanjahnke1576]

Oliver is looking so much better! 🥰 You are so blessed with your property, and your horse & farm life. God bless you all and I hope your channel keeps growing.

[@marycoker99]

Oliver is so healthy and handsome! 😍

[@rstom1199]

It’s wonderful that Oliver is doing so well. I think his story and plans for your farm are fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing your videos and watching Oliver grow. Sending you and everyone there love and light❤

[@nettyferguson4874]

Thanks

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you!❤

[@kingsdaughter9659]

Good Businessman 👍. Using your skills and talent to work and provide for your family and beautiful farm while still loving and caring for your animals. Much respect. Thanks for this informative video. 💞 Edit; Hmmmmm, very competitive with Dad too 😂 Hit that Subscribe button folks!!!

[@kimbreitbarth457]

Such the voice of reason. We really appreciate your truthful words on animals needing a purpose and the truth of animal rescue. For many people the truth of farm/ranch living is not something they can understand. Sometimes its difficult and painful. But know that the joy of loving an animal is universal. We all love Oliver and hope for a good outcome.

[@jenifereddings6190]

I can't believe how short of time you've had Oliver, he keeps moving towards you just to be closer to you. He already loves you to the moon and back!!!😂❤

[@joannsanders1481]

We love Oliver, so happy he is doing better.

[@bethmotgomery2662]

Love you Oliver and hello colt! Glad you 2 are friends.

[@judyeuller7602]

What a wonderful video. I've never ridden a horse in my life, but I think they are beautiful animals and I love the information you impart about them. Thank you.

[@ericahogan348]

OMGosh , Oliver looks so much better already and you can see he also feels better . He has landed in the right home , you all are so wonderful and caring . 🐎❤

[@Mindyluvspilates]

I found your channel during the auction when you found Oliver. I am sooo grateful that you were given a way to adopt him & give him a caring supportive home! Seeing his condition at the auction worried me & I was sad to see his condition when you brought him home. I am happy to witness his progress & cannot wait to see continued improvement over the next few months & years. Oliver has made me a faithful watcher & I look forward to each new video. Thank you for your work. Thank you subscribers for giving Homestead Horsemanship this opportunity!

[@OneBrightLightTN]

Oliver looks better already. I appreciate your honesty. While I was not raised on a farm and “farm ways” seem unusual to me, I appreciate your point of view and I’m grateful that you’re straightforward and open. You have a big heart and that shines though most of all

[@Samantha-nx6sz]

Just found y’all not long ago. Love everything from the animals’ care and training to the farming. Never had a male adult to teach us the “manly” stuff - love learning about the projects and machine repair stuff too!

[@karens3670]

Thank you so much for answering questions and taking the time to tell us about your family and your farm. You and your animals are very blessed to have such a nice property!

[@theresarost9349]

George Washingtons size was the reason he had the huge White stallion. Not sure what type of horse it was but it was beautiful.

[@coralsancetta7242]

Oliver looks so happy owning. He is demanding you attention. Love his improvement. Great work.

[@lynnclark4208]

I have enjoyed this walk and talk very much. 😊❤

[@lesleycooper6523]

Oliver is coming along nicely! 😊

[@graceabounds2381]

Thank you guys for the update! He is looking so much better! JR thank you for speaking the TRUTH about horses and their care. May your blessings be endless... Much love to you and your family

[@karenshaffer1265]

Looking good hamesome fellow.

[@sherryanderson4303]

I love watching you guys and Oliver. I grew up on a Horse Ranch in Texas and although we always had quarter horses, I was always in love with the Clydesdales. I look forward to watching Oliver grow and fill out. It hurts my heart to see where he started and ended up but I know he is in good hands now. Keep up the great work!

[@deborahrymer1007]

Oliver looks so much better already. He will be magnificent! Well done for all the love and care x

[@jenifereddings6190]

Speaking of your channel, I go to your channel RIGHTafter checking the weather.... 😅😅😅 I LOVE your channel and everything about your family and farm and I've added you to my prayer list. God bless you all.🙏

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

❤️🙏❤️

[@david_fl507]

my new FAV channel. ty. we are blessed by being a part of your blessings.

[@cjacob9875]

His tail grow out, it's looking great! Hes looking so much better, still a bit weak when you pick up his feet!!!

[@denisebair9542]

Draft crosses are in high demand right now! Not a bad idea!😊

[@sherryhoffman1601]

I love watching your videos! With all the craziness going on in this world you bring me a few minutes of joy & comfort! Thank you all for sharing your life on your farm! Blessings to All!🙏🏼🐴💗

[@padfoot3]

Oh, how much improved Oliver is!! Gosh, it makes my heart so happy ♥️

[@jenniferross4646]

Outside visitors that you don't know should not be trusted to enter your property due to so many people being evil with Neferious Agendas these days. I enjoyed seeing Oliver looking much improved and making nice milestones. I'm very happy to see that he have a friend to keep him company and to hear that things are going well for the two of them. I really enjoyed the segment and am proud to be a new Subscriber to something Refreshing, Interesting, Family Oriented, Educational, and Fun.

[@carolineshaw9216]

Love your farm, love Oliver, love your knowledge about your animals. Good luck!

[@tamerabass7011]

Oliver looks so happy. He's really is doing better.

[@Catalina58601]

You are very humble. I have been watching you since the start of Olivers story and I didnt have a clue you were so knowledgeable regarding horses. I love your approach, your explanations make so much sense and the plans you have are ambitious but now I see you are up for it!. I send you all my good wishes that what you dream of for your farm and family comes to you in spades.

[@christinematton4125]

He looks wonderful 😊 thank you for all your hard work 💜

[@1_aiartist_1001effects]

Oooh yes a calender is also a good idea..

[@lorettarussell3235]

A lot of KZbin channels have various merchandise they sale, mostly t shirts, sweat shirts, cups etc. Calanders are popular. I think posters would be nice too.
