Hey all! If you want to check out the Elrod’s channel here is the link youtube.com/@ElrodFamilyFarm?si=VGmGfxnKu9MvXJXn They don’t have many videos up yet and are very new to making videos, but over time they will get more content up. They are the sweetest family and have so many interesting things going on that you will just love them!
Good luck to all of you! I hope the new ventures work out for both of you. And JR - you just know that your handsome boy Oliver has caused many a heart to develop a soft spot for Clydesdales. ❤ Have a great weekend everyone!
Look at how high he is behind. He needs to grow before he is ridden. Look at the statistics of horses that get started too young. They are often broken down by 6 or 7.
I second an earlier suggestion to look into Horse Plus full circle of life rescue in TN, they provide ideas, resources, instruction, support and a network of horse and animal rescue organizations, as well as having a grant program for new rescuers. 😊
I like your channel because it is NOT like Horse Plus. You are not guilt tripping people for money all the time. Rescues too many times evolve into fund raising priority instead of the horse story. We get to know your horses..recipe for your success.
Horse Plus is TERRIBLE!!! Those of us that live in Tennessee know how they really are and when everyone locally caught on to their ways, they moved and relocated.They are NOT a rescue at all
@@OneBrightLightTN They absolutely ARE a rescue and support the fight against Big Lick, they offer grants to other shelters and have rescued thousands of horses. Are they perfect? No. But how many horses have you rescued from slaughter, hmmmmmm?
@@elisabetta611 You are free to believe what you want. They bid on horses that look bad, put them all over social media to raise money (lots of money). But 9 times out of 10 they euthanize the horse at the auction. They don’t put a dime into saving or rehabilitating the horse, they kill it and leave its “story” on social media for weeks/months to get money. I personally know of several horses that families wanted to rescue and rehabilitate but Horse plus bids them up only to kill them
@@OneBrightLightTN Ah, you're one of those people who can't accept that euthanasia is a part of rescue and their videos show exactly when or where this decision is made. Recommended by a vet, no less. Your ragebait numbers are so off base that I'm ending this discussion here, kiddo. Toodles!
Wonderful video, too bad about the sales, but there is always a reason. That first Horse that Michelle rescued and was standing next to, the Bay? Hard to tell true color on my old Laptop, but that was a nice horse, and yes I subscribed. The colt and filly were really nice, but kind of pricy for the time of year.....Perhaps, with 12 horses to choose from, People were more prone to higher prices.
A quick & easy way to determine if the horse is over 10 is to see if the '10 year molars' are in yet. Those are the only 'POINTED' conical shaped teeth just past the 'empty' space where the bit sets in the mouth. Then the '10 year molars' are there before you see the 'FLAT' molars in the back. You know the molars that have to be filed down ('floated' because horse teeth, molars specifically are softer & easily worn down in the centers due to the horse's chewing action, the grinding they do chewing with their back teeth, molars) on the edges because of the grooves that horses wear into them from chewing because they get very sharp on those edges making it very painful for older horses to properly chew their food. Which leads to digestive issues & contributes to older horses having difficulty keeping weight on because they are unable to properly process their food because they can't chew it properly when it hurts them to chew. Then beyond that there is the length of the front teeth that you consider. And even beyond that then there are the 'DARK CIRCULAR' COLORATIONS ON THE FLAT EDGES OF THOSE LONG FRONT TEETH. Also the length of the '10 year molars' comes into play here. Experience is definitely required to be able to 'READ' those 'DARK CIRCULAR' SPOTS ON THOSE TEETH, ESPECIALLY ONCE THE HORSE IS UPWARDS OF 15-20 YEARS OLD! Then sometimes you'll see some horses beyond 30, that's when amazing experience comes into play 'READING TEETH'! I've known only a few other 'OLD TIMERS' who could accurately 'READ TEETH', literally getting to within 1-2 years of the horse's verified age! It's an art for sure, one I'm very happy to have been taught by one of those 'OLD TIMERS'!
Hated to see that big guy on that little black pony. Agree with a couple of other commenters. Horse Plus Humane Society is a great horse rescue. They also work to mentor other rescues to be full circle of life shelters.
It; s me from Sherwood Park AB Canada another great video, for the Elford Farm people starting out , Horse Plus , Ms Tawnie and her husband have classes and connection and help on how to start, good luck and love people who does rescue
They all looked in pretty good shape..prefer those auctions..will definitely subscribe to Elrods channel..yay..a new horse channel to follow !!😂🐎🐴🐎🫏..and I'm not a horse person 😂..that lil pony was cute..l liked the shy clydsdale cross too..can't wait for what ya'll have planned this year..so excited..🇬🇧💞✝️👍👏🙏🐴🐎🫏🐏🐑🐕🐾🐕🐾🇺🇸
Have you ever looked into buying a wild Mustang? They have a huge Mustang exhibition, called Mustang Magic. They have 100 days to tame and train your assigned horse, or a horse you bid on in actual/online auctions. Otherwise, I've even seen where they buy Mustangs for as low as $25. (Have donkeys and mules too)
Great video and to meet with Elrod Family Farms!! Horses were very nice,but like you said Emery, sometimes it's just not the right price or whatever the case may be, but God does things for a reason that we can't know just yet. Thanks again ❤❤❤❤
Yes.....Horse Shelter Heroes is helping rescues....good guidance. Full Circle of Life Rescues are critical....they do not take over they just guide! Grants are available thru them.
Please tell your friend Michele ,Jr to check into horse plus rescue full circle of life animal rescue they could help her in so many ways . They have grants they give out to help in many different ways and they have boot camp if you are chosen to attend you could win $15,000,00 to help you for things like you need for your farm and the rescue there base out of TN. been around for 20 years plus . they have youtube and facebook . I think your friend just starting out in rescue of horses could use there help even if she didn't win the money , going to there boot camp she would learn allot . Horse shelter hero's on youtube from horse plus . Anyway I wish your friends good luck and I enjoy watching your video's as well , hope you get Oliver another Clydsdale girlfriend. How many foals are you expecting this year ? Can't wait to see more of your horses . Good luck .
I've come to the conclusion that JR has no sense of time .......... Nice video . I liked the pony as well . Glad they followed up and checked on her . Still wonder about Gaston sometimes .
Hi all..we love watching your very informative vlogs, they are very much appreciated. hugs and love to you and your family,God bless you all. Sue & Ben ( uk) xx
Strong move on your part JR encouraging a friend to leave a high paying job to start his own business. One for sure is my learning that you are a highly supportive involved helpful friend who will do all he can to promote others. I'm not a horse person so am not famiiar with the training market to know if it's considered a luxury by most folks. I look forward to his YT channel and hope he branches out to Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. He, and the Elrods, can easily post the same videos and short on each until they have enormous followings at which time they can decide to offer select pieces on single accounts. In the end JR I feel your friend must be an amazing trainer to earn your encouragement which isn't a light matter. Thank you for the conversation and now I'm off to Elrod farms. 🐎
Another interesting video. It's great to meet another horse family. I'll enjoy watching the Elrod Family Farm adventures, and see their channel grow, too. Thanks for posting! ❤
Poor things, I really feel a lot of empathy for the horses being put through an auction, they are so emotionally evolved and sensitive, they know everyone staring at them and it must be a really scary experience for them as they can pick up on the vibes , especially that horses are able to sense the difference between Good and Evil, they can feel a good person or a bad person... so when they're put through kill auctions in my opinion, they can pick up on the sinister dark vibes of that. 😢
X❤ I am in from Holland I have different gears to donate from Horses4 healing hurt, handy help, higher hope & Hapiness I would love to come to the states and get to know you all, I feel spiritually connected and got a giving spirit
It's always a good idea to include in a You Tube channel name a hint as to the subject matter, so Elford Farm would do well to include an equine related word. eg. I found Homestead Horsemanship when searching the word 'horse'.
Love the videos where you two chat back and forth! You guys have so much fun together. And you were a stitch with your good friends. 😊 Good luck to your friends new channel!
Also love this as a foster adoptive mom of 6 so this just touches my heart on a personal level wish they had options for kiddos here in Tucson az with horses and foster/ adoptive kiddos
Here's just some advice take it or leave it study the galvane line on The top row outside tooth the line starts when the turn ten the line will be half way down when there 15 there 20 when the line is all the way to the bottom of the tooth now The line will start reseding down from the top of the tooth when it's halfway down there 25 when it's All the away down the tooth and you know longer see the line there 30 you probably already in know about this though just in case you don't now horse traders can't lie And say hes only 10 and he's really 15 or he's 15 and really 20. God bless
Elrod Family Farm! I subscribe to equine rescue and rehabilitation You Tube channels. There's no shortage of cruelty and neglect out there and the horses need human help.

Elrod link is not available
Had our pony until 43 healthy right up to the end, taught 3 generations of children to ride.
They won’t regret the Andalusian mare and foal! Baroque horses are the absolute best!!!
I know, wonder how one gets that lucky to get a free Andalusian?
@@nicolaxoxo1 Likely the misfortune of others such as job loss, human medical bills or death with survivors unable to assume responsibility.
Good luck to all of you! I hope the new ventures work out for both of you. And JR - you just know that your handsome boy Oliver has caused many a heart to develop a soft spot for Clydesdales. ❤ Have a great weekend everyone!
Thank you for including the follow up info about the little black pony. She seemed so lovely. So happy she has a good home.
Love this video!
Liz
Who cares if shes older, she is in good shape and they can give her a forever home 🏡
My Thought: If they hope to have a working horse for 20 years is a reason to start with a horse considerately younger than 20yo.
Hey! Oliver is the most awesome thing around
Everyone loves Oliver!
Look at how high he is behind. He needs to grow before he is ridden. Look at the statistics of horses that get started too young. They are often broken down by 6 or 7.

Enjoyed watching video! Hope to see more!

Subbing to the Elrod fam now, great rec!! Love your auction vids (And our boy Oliver!).

I would like you to see which animals connect with you and you decided to rescue hugs God bless
Your thoughts on Ferrier Schools
Seems like there are not enough farriers for the horses that need competent care
❤
It's always a good idea to include in a You Tube channel name a hint as to the subject matter, so Elford Farm would do well to include an equine related word. eg. I found Homestead Horsemanship when searching the word 'horse'.
I wish i could have got the black pony and others great horses
Pryor mountain is supposed to have a auction i hope they all get great homes
Love the videos where you two chat back and forth! You guys have so much fun together. And you were a stitch with your good friends. 😊 Good luck to your friends new channel!
Good video! Liked your guests. Too bad neither of you got the horses you wanted but sometimes that Higher Power has something else in mind for you.
urgh at that big guy on the little pony.. The rescue starting out should contact Horse Plus as they help out new rescues.
He's got some good push in the back end!
Really want more information about your friend who does PT for equines, canines, & humans.
Nice day outside
A bit cold lol
Sorry your friends didn't get the pony but then it looked like they rescued some. Hope your new maybe adventure works out.😊😊😊❤❤❤
Ok, good luck, Jr
❤❤❤
So excited to watch this new adventure you are on 🎉
Also love this as a foster adoptive mom of 6 so this just touches my heart on a personal level wish they had options for kiddos here in Tucson az with horses and foster/ adoptive kiddos
Will that machine work for Wobblers? Asking for a devastated friend.
You would have to ask Michelle Elrod or someone that knows about them.
Here's just some advice take it or leave it study the galvane line on The top row outside tooth the line starts when the turn ten the line will be half way down when there 15 there 20 when the line is all the way to the bottom of the tooth now The line will start reseding down from the top of the tooth when it's halfway down there 25 when it's All the away down the tooth and you know longer see the line there 30 you probably already in know about this though just in case you don't now horse traders can't lie And say hes only 10 and he's really 15 or he's 15 and really 20.

I had a pony live to 39
So sad 😞 to see the horses that need medical attention or a good feed 😢
You shoulda got that filly! She was worth 2 horses!
Sad seeing the horse in the lavender halter, you know he belonged to a little girl who probably loved him/her. Wonder how he ended up there?
Please make video about incoming babies! I want to know when will be foals
Wouldn’t hesitate to by a pony in there 20’s had my welsh cob until he died at 43
That draft cross filly for $675 was dirt cheap
Why did you show us these horses and then not get them ??
Michelle looks like the woman who runs Pony Tales!
2500! What! that would be 5500 here in the west
It was here too prices are dropping fast due to inflation and economy
👍🇨🇦🤗
Are you smoking JR? It looks so funny when your talking. Looks like your smokin up 😅😊😮
Haha. Not it’s was FREEZING 🥶
That was heart wrenching ,so if your not going to get the horses ,please don't show us all of this 😢
Were the bigfoot
That little black pony has a white pony on her forehead
