Hello JR and family -- Loved this informative video. The woman who sold you the harness was really generous with her knowledge of the harness and how to fit it to Oliver properly -- thank goodness, right? JR -- your discussion at the end of the video regarding Oliver having a purpose -- the importance of his interaction with you -- and how those things add immeasurably to the quality of his life -- so smart -- so logical. I happen to agree with those concepts -- but for anyone who had not agreed -- the examples you cited with the 'purpose' of various dog breeds drove the point home convincingly. Your prioritizing of Oliver's health care is made clear in the fact that he is examined by both a veterinarian and chiropractors. I've said it before -- that perhaps the reason Homestead Horsemanship is one of my favorite channels -- has a lot to do with your "heart" with the horses. Just love it! Best regards to you and the family. JV

Oliver is such an amazing horse. I used drive horses and it was always an incredible experience ... totally different from riding, and it takes more concentration to stay safe, especially when a horse spooks. Can't believe people think you should get a horse and let it do nothing for thousands of dollars a year in expenses. It's like buying a car and never driving it. People forget that a short 100+ years ago, EVERYONE used horses as a daily driver, growing food, going to town and church, hauling wood, hauling coal, and the list goes on and on. People can be so silly 😂

My Mother went to school on her Shetland pony from the time she was about five. School was 3 or 4 miles from her home. She would spend half an hour catching him in the morning, he spent all day grazing, but coming home she told me she would have to tie down her hat snuggly and hold on because his little legs didn't stop until he was home again. Interesting to note, to this day, it's written into the educational handbook that schools have to supply fodder and water for horses that come to school, even though it's been more than half a century since anyone did that.❤ 🤣🤣

You can start training at 2 years, but save the heavy hauling for 5 years old. Drafts mature later than light horses, and are still growing for another year after lights stop growing (drafts stop at 4 to 5 years, lights at 3 to 4 years). If you wait to put your draft horse into heavy work (under saddle or in harness) until he’s 5, you’ll have a sound, healthy horse for 30 years
@wendyfowler1396 Жыл бұрын
'lights' keep growing. My Arab mare will be 6 this November - she 'grew' her wither over the last 6 months and the spine doesn't mature until about 6-7.. She is still bum high so another years growing I reckon. Generally speaking, the longer you leave a horse to grow up to 8 years or so, the stronger it will be physically and mentally..

Although I guess that it is possible that he could be slightly behind where he should be. He is all about being all that he can be. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself and nobody else should either. He is a healthy happy Stallion that deserves to have what every other draft horse stallion has the right to do and be.

I’m glad you are taking the time to learn how to harness. Had a pony kick the crap out of my shins because someone hooked her to the traces incorrectly. I had to bail from the cart! It was insanity. An anti bucking strap would have helped!

Wow what a process. Oliver looks so handsome in his harness. What a learning process! I hated hearing the lady say that Clydesdales tend to be stupid. I suspect Oliver won't be anywhere near that. He is so loved and well behaved, and I look forward to following his progress. Greeting from south Texas.
