HOT SHOEING Our RESCUED Draft Horse OLIVER!

Yes, let's see Ruben's competition!! Glad he's keeping the art of horse-shoeing alive.

Yes I agree!

Sweet Oliver Gets New Shoes. What a blessing to find Reuben, who loves to shoe using the the time honored traditions. 🎶💐💖

[@lindahollister5530]

Nice shoes, Oliver❤❤.

[@jerrycutright3267]

As a farrier I can tell you that ninety percent of horse owners expect the farrier to train their horse! I commend you for your training.

[@Faelani38]

Thats so wrong. It is their animal.

[@traciehart4470]

It’s actually unbelievable really, isn’t it Jerry? MAYBE it’s like everything else now days it seems, where there are so many people who EXPECT others, to do their work, an example being horse owners expecting their farrier to train THEIR horse good manners, and another example being, parents expecting their children’s teacher, to literally teach THEIR child everything, like how to greet people, again, the good manners, simply anything and everything. People certainly are becoming increasingly lazy and I’m assuming they feel as though it’s so much easier for them, if others actually do the job that they are supposed to be doing. It blows my mind really🤷🏼‍♀️😬

[@mfc4591]

Ruben is what is called a master artisan. He knows stuff other farriers will never learn. Oliver was very good. Well done JR it is a sign of your input and training.

[@RumMonkeyable]

What a smart, gentle horse! We love you, Oliver! Reuben is GREAT! 👏👍✨❤

[@DebraConner-cx5mj]

Yes, let's see Ruben's competition. I have always enjoyed watching a good farrier work. I always trained my horses to stand like Oliver does. My farrier was very appreciated it !!.

[@arizonamom8773]

What a great find Ruben is! The shoes look great. Oliver is the perfect customer - doesn't complain 😉 You look healthy, handsome and happy Oliver❤️😊

[@pbayer773]

RJ is handsome too!! 😅😅😅

[@ckswat77zz51]

You are so right! ❤️💕❤️💕🐴❤️💕❤️💕

[@wendydavies1301]

I fully agree. They also need locking up for treating him so badly. Oliver was one of the lucky ones he found someone and thousands of people who loved him enough to save him. I WONDER ABOUT THE OTHER HORSES AND HOW THEY ARE OR EVEN STILL ALIVE. If they would treat one of their horses that badly what state the rest were in. 😢

[@maryanngross7225]

I would love to see Rueben n the competition! He is a true tradesman!!! Definitely could show some of the farriers I’ve seen, on other channels, a few things! A master craftsman 🌟👍🏻

[@gailalbers1430]

they had a large herd on that horse property and while they were there a Clydesdale that he shared a own with passed away in there. I hope the income from Olliver will go to medicine for the others. But he said that the authorities have been made aware. The owners apparently do not take care of their livestock . 😢

[@lorenzowoodson624]

This guy is the best farrier that I have ever seen! Especially when you consider someone's standing over him recording and asking questions the whole time!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

😅…well it may seem like the whole time lol but this process took a few hours and it’s compressed to under 40 mins.

[@juanitalantang8636]

@@homesteadhorsemanship In any case, what a generous heart to not mind being recorded and sharing his knowledge! And to another farrier no less!

[@judybradford9412]

Let's go watch Reuben and cheer him on!!! REUBEN REUBEN REUBEN,!!

[@LifeWithGray]

@@homesteadhorsemanship I grew up with a few show horses who were shod with pre manufactured shoes. The artistry required for a custom front set takes so much more time even compared to shaping a premade to a hoof. Reuben is a god send for Oliver

[@Catalina58601]

If every horse had a team like Oliver does. A trainer, a farm, a farrier, a vet, a few friends, decent nutrition and a job. Oh what a wonderful world it would be. Nice work to ALL of you! Also, could those bumps have been hives of some sort? Oh and I'am Team Reuben!!

[@altawarren7334]

Thank you to Ruben for being so good to Oliver. ❤❤❤

[@SLOszn]

Coming from a fellow farrier, people willing to work on drafts is rare. He does an awesome job and the fact he competes and puts his work out to be judged by peers is awesome. I would do what you can to keep him! Also it’s awesome the time you put in to make it easier to handle him!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you. I tried 8 farriers before I found him. None willing. He was apprehensive because he doesn’t need the work. I had to promise that he would behave like an angel no stocks needed.

[@SLOszn]

Awesome man! Keep on rolling!

[@PatriciaCorkell]

J. R., I would love to see a video of Rueben's competition. Rueben is so interesting to listen to. I love the way he explains not only what he is doing to a shoe, but why he does what he does. Oliver is doing so well, standing for the farrier like he does. And not being tied shows how good he has been trained. You did good.

[@jacquelinekeller5027]

I think Oliver is so very grateful to be so lovingly cared for, that all that positivity is coming out in pure gratitude. Well done, JR. Really, you should consider writing A book. Your insights are worth sharing.

[@wastelandsniper789]

Oooo, I'd like to see the competition!

I’m team Rueben! Let’s see him compete!

[@jenifereddings6190]

Yay Oliver!!!!! You GO boy!!! Daddy is proud of you and so are we!!! JR, I sure like that ferrier! He's so smart and pleasant. I think part of why Oliver stands so well for him is he senses his gentle nature also. ❤

[@lilypondlane]

Boy, Reuben sure knows his stuff! What an artist and craftsman! And ❤️Oliver❤️ is such a good boy!

[@eileenshaw5960]

Oliver is a very impressive stallion. I am so impressed by his ability to stand still without stocks and be an excellent, calm horse for the farrier. Great job of training him JR and thanks for showing us how you did it.

He seems like an exceptional horse in so many ways---and of course, your even-handed training helps guide him towards even greater things.

You have done such a great job with training Oliver for the farrier. He is so calm and collected. ❤

[@shelleuantilla5899]

Super happy for Oliver. Love watching his shoeing...would like to see shoeing competitions...❤

[@watch-me-now9531]

It also seemed like maybe OLIVER was confused by the backup command at that moment. When JR came around toward the 4th hoof after lifting 3, OLIVER started to pick up his 4th hoof automatically -- knowing JR was coming toward it. You can see OLIVER start to lift hoof #4. OLIVER is so SMART.

That rash looks like it could be right under the harness collar. Make sure your tack is clean and free of mold, and that the collar rests the way it should on his shoulders.

[@maryfrancessullivan1170]

Every time I watch one of Oliver’s videos at the farrier I learn so much about hoof care, the art of the farrier putting new shoes on, and now the advantages of using hand made horse shoes vs using store bought shoes. Oliver was such a good boy at the farrier’s and your training sessions with him have really helped him stand still and be more patient with the entire process. Great job on Oliver’s continued training and your wonderful, educational videos. Well done,JR and Oliver!❤🧲🐴👍

[@DebraConner-y9x]

Also I agree it is the owners responsibility to make sure the horse is well trained to pick up its feet and be safe for the farrier.

[@bmacdougall53]

His life was saved, I believe the bond and love between them is unserpassable . God has blessed this family 💜🙏

[@NChillbilly]

He is such a good stud. I thought double registered Appaloosa Quarterhorse was pretty good but in hindsight he was nothing compared to Oliver. It really never occurred to me back then to train him to be easy for the farrier. This was the days before You Tube. Hope one day I get another horse but I'm getting up there at 59 so I probably won't ever have another but live vicariously through guys like you.
