Did We Get A New Clydesdale?

- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- It's time! We hit the road with Oliver! We are super excited to go look at these Clydesdale mare prospects! We are hoping this is meant to be and we bring we bring home a new horse with us! We aren't going just to look at the mares though. We are also taking Oliver along for the experience, hoping to get some advice on teaching him to pull double from an experienced Clydesdale trainer. We also get to go on a wagon ride with the Verner Family 6 hitch Clydesdale team!
Oliver is a three year old Clydesdale stallion that we rescued back in March 2023 with the help of our viewers. He was very sick when we first got him and REALLY Underweight. He has come a long way and made a full recovery from EPM. He is now well and strong enough to start training to pull and eventually ride (Of course with the ok from our vet and chiropractor). Oliver has had quite the journey! Make sure to watch his other videos to catch up on everything! This is where his story begins • Oliver's Auction - Fir...

Who knew when you did a rescue of a sickly Oliver that he would take you and your family down this trail. So glad you have brought us along with you.
@@MaggiePiffles I've thought of that too . What a difference this Clydesdale stallion has made in so many lives . From that first sad video to the great triumph his life is now .
I love it! How hes become a draft driver
It’s lovely to hear you say, Oliver is not for sale. Out of all the mares we saw, I’m with Emeri and prefer Nattie xx
Never sell our Oliver!
He's precious for himself
--but he also has those beautiful bloodlines which could grow to any size foal
we love nattie too,,but we sure you were taking a new one to the river to get baptized...😅 love your family...xx
@law7897 I agree, although would be lovely to see a field of their own Clysdale brood mares. I think there may be a rescue Clydadale mare or two out there.
Natty and Oliver are THE dream team! I love them so much!

Oliver is a beautiful boy. We all love him and Nattie.
Yes we do
I agree!😊
In Scotland, they don't dock the tails. They have beautiful long tails. They do braid them up for shows and pulling.
I wish they didn't dock the tails.
Its illegal in some countries in Europe.
Wise decision! When in doubt, walk away!
It's illegal in Australia for cruelty reasons. They can always be braided out of the way when hitched.
I understand the reasons why the tails are docked, but this is the first time I have read that you don't have to do that if they are trained to drive. Thank you so much for the comment. Makes me happy.👍
How kind of the Verner family ❤ What a wonderful farm!
I feel like I just watched an episode of Oliver goes to Clydesdale Daycamp” 😊
Right! 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Love that comment 💜💜💜
Kind of like taking the family dog, and they take the family Clydesdale. Love this family.imo
What's not to love about Oliver ❤
Oliver is a special horse, he is an overcomer and is healing hearts all over the world. We love you Oliver ❤️
AMEN!
@@kellysirman4184 yes he is the best !!
@RC-vb1hz For a stallion, he's incredibly easy going. He's not overly excited about the mares. He listens to JR with barely any fuss.
@@kellysirman4184my favourite video was when he first went in the water. He is a precious boy❤❤❤
Thanks Verner Family for hosting the Homestead Horsemanship Family and Oliver.
Loved all the Mayor's they were gorgeous and the 6 horse team did an excellent job of pulling the wagon. Even with the no touchey my ears moment was cute. The horse didn't bolt I say that was a win. ❤😊❤😊❤😊
Absolutely magnificent!! So big and beautiful. But Oliver is still #1 in my heart ❤️ ❤
You clean up real good JR, so does Oliver.
Personally, I like the beard!
They are both lovely (as an old over 65 lady, I can say these things!).
Ollie is better than all of those other put together. He has all the character, and that’s what counts the most! 🐴 🧡
I was looking to watch horse videos and came upon this one. I love Clydesdales! They are so gorgeous!
What I found unique about this channel is the person’s voice who was narrating. A very lovely voice!
After going through a couple of videos I found it was Emery- you have a very beautiful voice!
@@micheledelorenzo4603 go back to Feb 2023 and watch the beginning with his rescue if you haven't already. Lucky horse , a couple more days he would have died
Oh yes go back when they got Oliver! The journey is amazing. And then Nattie’s story their second Clydesdale! You will fall in love with this family! Also their son Isaac’s new baby donkey. Look for Thomas videos! ❤
I agree.
I find it kind of funny that for such huge horses, they seem like such big babies . They huddle because strangers are so scary. I absolutely love horses - they are so precious. What JR can do with such big animals is astounding.
It’s going to be so hard to find a match for Oliver just cause he’s such a gem! Truely a one in a million horse! Thank you for sharing him with us!!❤
So prejudice ❤ here!!! Oliver is the best looking Clydesdale in the world 🌎 (and Natty).
I have been in parades in NYC when 6 Clydesdale marched pulling a huge carriage. It takes your breath away. Magnificent is a word that can be used to describe them.
Not disappointed only the best for Oliver and natty. So glad you got the Clydesdale bug
Oliver loading in the trailer: "Wait! There's FOOD!" LOL!
Even though you didn’t buy it was fun to go along! Oliver was the best looking horse! Those people had a very nice farm.
So awesome to see so many beautiful Clydesdales! But Oliver and Nattie are my forever favorites🥰❣️
Oliver is number one, yes , Nattie is our girl
The Verners have a beautiful ranch & some very beautiful Clydes! They were very kind to provide such wonderful accommodations for the family & Oliver. As for not making a purchase, well, it’s your farm & your horses. If you’re not getting the warm & fuzzies, then it’s best to take a pass. If something is meant to be, it will be - Oliver & Nattie are living proof of that. ❤❤
In my eyes Oliver is a Giant (love bug)😉❤️
Most handsome Clydesdale in the world!
I haven’t watched the entire video yet, but Oliver is absolutely the best Clydesdale in the world. Ok, back to the video now… lol
What a cool experience. Better to wait until everything aligns than to buy just to buy. I still very much enjoyed the video. Ty for taking us along. And for what it’s worth, I didn’t get that feeling that you found the one, either. Beautiful horses for sure tho. I think Nattie is a diamond in the rough too, emery.
Oliver and Nattie are not just “horses”. They are special, with distinct personalities and they love you. That doesn’t happen often. You’ll know her when you see her, whenever that happens. 😍
JR, You have a history with Oliver. You nursed him, prayed for him and are training him. You will not have the same bond unless you do the same.
At least the visit wasn't a waste of time. You were able to observe some beautiful mares, various things to consider & nutritional info. You were also able to gain ques/techniques to look for while Oliver was hitched in handling the lead. Nice to Bekah take the reigns too. 💖💖
I had my first intro into driving teams back in the 1970s. Belgiums and Belgium-crosses. I had aquired a veteran parade trio, was looking for a fourth and possibly a fifth/alternate. I wasn't looking to breed, and driving wasn't entirely new to me at the time, but big draft teams of four and more was undiscovered territory. I had previously incorporated ground driving as a part of my training for young ponies and horses destined to be sold after finishing as a way to broaden my market and produce superior equine companions. I figured it couldn't hurt and it did keep things more interesting for both myself as a trainer and the horses/ponies as the trainees. Worked a charm, and I really did want to go further with the driving aspect of horsemanship. As I got older I found it to be easier on my battered body as well. I only had one Clydesdale, ever, but I did appreciate the size, ability, good mind, and amenable personality of the breed. At that time you just didn't find very many Clydesdales in my area as compared to the number of Belgiums. I did eventually breed a couple of Belgium/Friesian/Clydesdale-cross saddle mares that I used for my personal go-to trail mounts, pack horses, parade rides, farm drafts, and pleasure harness horses. Those two girls would do anything for me, with joy and good humour. Brave lassies, the pair. I took one with me to learn jousting (yes, I hoped to be a Knight is shining armour. I was then ignorant of how uncomfortable armour is for females.) and she was fairly coveted by the instructors themselves, even allowing for my own ineptitude.
I hope your journey alongside your draft horses is as prosperous and joy-filled as mine was. Looking back now, it was amongst my most wonderful of all my time with horses. And that's saying a lot. Blessings from Texas.
Wonderful story and life!! ❤
Thanks for taking us along on your journey to find a mate for Oliver. Love seeing all of the Clydesdales together. When the time is right you will definitely know it.
I’m with you Oliver is a wonderful horse. Nattie’ beautiful too.
You did your best to find one. Next time for sure. I agree that Nattie is the right one for Oliver. Be patient with her. She will get there. Adorable ❤. Good job
Couldn’t click fast enough! And yes 3 seconds in he is the bestest boy!
Can you imagine what it would be like watching a herd of these guys running? The sound - the feel.... Thrilling, I'm sure!
We love you Oliver, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oliver is such a gentleman. You'll find the right match for him
Chrissy looked like Oliver's sister 😁 Would've been a beautiful pair but I'm definitely in the biased group for Nattie ❤ Charm was absolutely gorgeous! I've never seen a Clydesdale with such an interesting color.
What a great experience to see and drive 6 horses. Thanks for taking us along.
Charm is a pretty girl I like her build and I love that extreme Sabino makes her very eye-catching
Reining 6 Clyds must be unbelievable, all these power ahead of you 😎🙏😎
That was fun seeing all the Clyds. I haven’t seen many white & tan ones. I get it when you don’t connect. I bet Oliver was thinking what the heck is going on here. Look at all these beautiful gals😁💕💕🐴💕
😂😂😂❤
What an amazing week of videos---from newborn mini-donkey to visiting an amazing Clydesdale Farm! Thank you!
I love Oliver and yes probably the best Clydesdale in the world besides Nattie but maybe I’m just loving them thru all the watching of my favorite horses and people. You guys always make my day ❤
What an amazing opportunity/fieldtrip for a family moving into Clydesdales/driving. I can only imagine the power you all felt riding on that SIX horse team -- what a treat and a thrill and to come along vicariously through you. Good for you not buying another Clydesdale just to move ahead -- you absolutely need just the right fit for Oliver while Nattie finishes growing and may not end up being a good match for Oliver. Oliver is your north star, your constant, so while I can imagine it very hard to resist the urge to just pick a partner for Oliver it has to feel right for you vis a vis matching up with Oliver. And hey, it won't kill us to go looking at more beautiful Clydesdales with you and your lovely family. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. :) love from Canada, Ontario :)
What a great trip! Your host is very likeable, and knowledgable,
beautiful horses, great day! Thank you for taking me along!
I love how Becca is right with you and learning all the time.
Please don't film and drive especially with your family with you.
I remember the day you bought oliver, he was held at that awful holding place. So sad how he was kept. He come a long way
Clydesdale’s are a dream for me. I may be able to afford 1 if I got rid of my 4 quarter horses. I keep my horses forever so I will live my Clydesdale life through your family and Oliver. ❤️
Oliver so deserves another Clydesdale both as his partner and teammate.
You know what is best! I’m glad you didn’t let yourself feel pressured into getting a horse you were not positive about!!! I love your videos,god bless!!! 💥💥💥
Oliver is a treasure beyond price, the best looking Clydesdale of all Clydesdales, in my opinion.❤❤❤
Well Oliver had a bad Start and is still young, so he will grow…but a Gelding will mostly be taller as a Stallion because they don’t need that energy for Hormons and Breeding…and Oliver is still the cutest…going on vacation with his Family ❤❤😂
Progress has been amazing.
So impressed with this farm.
That's an interesting observation.
However, remarkable stallions Secretariat & Man O' War were large, whereas well-known geldings Mine That Bird & John Henry were both quite small but unusually tough and fast. So that rule of thumb isn't always true.
Just a couple examples
that's right. oliver was not a well horse when he first arrived. . . . .
Oliver is gorgeous!
I was a rider,had a😢car accident,but can’t get my past out of my life,I would love to get back into it 😊
I am 62 years old and have learned to listen to my intuition , if your mind is hesitating when you are looking to buy another horse , your heart needs to listen to your mind , and come up with the right decision . I really liked the 3 year old and the 10 year old , and my Heart was saying........ "Just get them both "
That 17 yr old was gorgeous. I have a friend still riding her 33 yr old mare. She's also the big Aunt to the yearlings and takes good care of them.
I don’t think we have thought twice about hearing it wasn’t for her back leg.
@@homesteadhorsemanship understand
@@homesteadhorsemanshipwhat was wrong with number 5 that you didn’t consider her?
❤❤❤ Oliver is such a beautiful horse when he is just clean shiney and so handsome. ❤❤❤ Jr, you found a treasure with him. We all love him!!
I’m sure Oliver sighed with relief when he was going home with you!😘❤️🙏🏻✨
It never ceases to amaze me that it is said that horses 'pull' whatever it is that they are hitched to. They don't pull at all! That would be much harder than pushing and that is what they do. They push into the big collars they have around their necks and that is how their load moves. I saw this all the time growing up in Amsterdam seeing the Heineken Brewery carts being pushed though the city by a pair of huge Clydesdales - or whatever breed they used, they were huge! One day I asked one of the drivers if I'd seen that right - about them pushing rather than pulling - and he was amazed. His reply: nobody has ever seen that and you are absolutely right, young lady!
Thank you Big V. for being so gracious and patient with Homestead Horsemanship and by extension, us. I have to agree, the 3yo was a handsome match but not quite there. On to the next adventure😉👍
Thanks for taking us along for the ride! It was fun to see the other Clydesdales, but of course I have a soft spot for handsome Oliver!💕
Oliver is priceless and irreplaceable!
We all love Oliver so much. It feels like he belongs to all of us. I'm not disappointed at all. I love Nattie and Champ.❤❤
Ever since a child and saw Carlton brewery's cart pulled by Clydesdale, they have been my favourite horse and that wasover 50 years ago.what a thrilling adventure.
My problem exactly. “It’s hard not to like any Clydesdale”. Very impressed with Bekka’s natural way with horses and how they respond to her. Runs in the family😊
I love seeing you looking for horses, and telling what you are looking for. I also love you being honest and telling it isn't a match for you. I believe you will get what you hope for... blessings from the netherlands
Good breeders appreciate that. They want their horses to be a good match for the people they go to.
I love that you’re always looking for the connection with the horse😍
Sometimes the Best choice is not choosing
Oliver is the reason keep coming back. He’s gorgeous and sooooo smart.
Y’all did the right thing and want that connection. If that connection isn’t there , that’s okay. Shae from FSE does the same, looking for that connection. I know Natty will get there but I would LOVE to see Oliver and Champ drive as a team😍😍😍
I’m glad you were able to resist when you knew deep down that none of those mares was the one for Oliver. He is a special boy and deserves nothing but the best. ❤
Oliver looks genuinely healthy and HAPPY, such a good natured boy. Enjoy everything ,time goes fast❤
Awesome video again! I loved every minute❤
So fun to learn about Clydesdales!
Between your channel and the Clever Cowgirl I have learned so very much about horses. I am a horse novice and stumbled on her first and then your channel. It is the calm and thoughtful insight into caring for horses that I love. I will never own a horse. We have a dog-horse in our huge 200# Irish Wolfhound. So on a very small scale I sorta now what it is like to have always loved dogs, owned dogs and have finally owned my spirit animal. We have learned so much in caring for him. So I respect your channel for the diverse knowledge you give. And yes, Oliver is the best Clysdale ever and Saxon ( RNoble Carnasserie Ssxony’s Havoc)the best 😂 Irish Wolfhound.
I am not a horse person at all. Dogs are more my speed. But I do watch a British trainer at Steve Young Horsemanship here on UA-cam. I like folks who train animals with kindness and caring, and he’s fantastic with horses that have issues. I pick up tips for dealing my dogs! JR and Steve treat their horses with firmness and intelligence. No cruelty. Homestead horsemanship and a few others should be proud of themselves in showing the world the right way to train and treat these wonderful animals. And all of us can learn something about how to train and treat the animals in our lives.
I love the clever cowgirl also!
Good Saturday morning from Texas. 🇺🇸 It was so awesome watching 👀 the Clydesdale team pulling the wagon. It was nice that the man was showing JR how to drive the team. This man's knowledge was so helpful with Oliver pulling the wagon.
Champ & Oliver do look really smart together, both are very good looking boys.
Thanks for explaining the horse teams pulling the carriage!
Congratulations on $150,000 subscribers. I can tell you’re putting lot of time into introducing a higher quality video.😊
What a successful trip. You got to visit a lovely ranch, meet helpful people, Becca tried her hand at driving Oliver, and everyone got to view some wonderful horses. Just as with Nettie, it will happen. Thank you for sharing your journey. A pleasure to see Oliver as always.
We have a local farmer that has a team of Belgians. Drafts are so willing to please and sweet natured. Thanks for bringing us along with your experiences.❤
Oliver= all for me dad? YES!
That little trip was so fun and very interesting! I was right there with you all, talking to my phone, as if you could really hear me! I learned a lot! I hope JR liked learning holding the 6-horse team! That was a really nice clean barn and place! I was wondering what a foal would look like from Oliver and the 17-year old blond horse? I’ve never seen a light colored Clydesdale before! Oliver is the most handsome boy! Emeri, thank you for explaining where we were going, and putting in your thoughts! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷
It's funny how when there's a pic of just the horses they don't appear to be large but put a human in the pic and one can then realize how large this breed of horses really are.
Great video
My vote is Oliver and nattie!❤
When y’all got settled down and shot of Oliver, looking, you can almost imagine what’s going through his brain some thing like look at all these beautiful ladies😂 and the Clydesdales, and they look like me….😂 oh my that place is absolutely beautiful and the lake also
Oliver stood out above the other horses. His coat was nicer and shiner from the others too. We all love Oliver and he is perfect in every way.❤ya Pat
Love your videos from Saudi!
Keep them coming brother! ❤
I just want to give sweet Oliver a hug and pets! Just love him and you all for saving that sad boy at the auction! With your love and care, he is becoming all he can be and is living his best life!
Dang, those are some big ole' boys. But sweet Oliver sure is the most beautiful darling Clydesdale I've ever seen! 💜
What a beautiful facility the Verners run. Chrissie is lovely.
Only at the beginning of the mares review & I love Chrissy so much! She’s beautiful, young & matches with Oliver.
Who could think Oliver is anything but fabulous? He's gorgeous.
Emery is right, Natty is Oliver's perfect match.
OLIVER IS THE BEST CLYDESDALE AROUND!! 🐎🐎🐎💖
Stay well and be safe 🙏

Beautiful job Emori.
Love this video.
Oh my gosh! I felt like I was leaning over Isaac's shoulder on that ride! What a wonderful experience to see the clyde's from that vantage point. Thank you for your Great video work Emery! I am vicariously participating in your online journey and loving every minute of it from my little piece of desert in southern Arizona.
I was so excited that this video was finally posted. Such a nice farm, lovely carriage ride, beautiful horses, nice accommodations, father son time late night fishing, a mini vacation. But even I felt that none of the mares were meant to be yours. There was no connection with you, spirit to spirit or soul to soul like there was with Oliver and Nattie. And I think that is the key component too. If your supposed to get another mare or maybe even a gelding for a teammate I believe God will make it happen. Love y'all. Enjoyed the visit to the farm. ❤😊
Thanks for taking us along for the ride with the team of 6! Interesting to watch and learn from!
I really hope that y'all go back and watch where Oliver started. I know you remember, but sometimes it doesn't seem so different until you remind yourself of just what an amazing thing you've done getting him to top shape. JR, you have a dream life to many people. You're a good man.
Seriously, huge respect for all that your family has done, and not just for Oliver. Sending very tight hugs and lots of loving thoughts.❤
The markings on the 3 year old were very similar to Oliver's but in opposite sides. Like Oliver's back left leg has a white streak going up and on her it was her back right leg. Their other markings seemed similar as well. Visually they were a perfect pair.
Keep praying about it and the right horse (baby) will come into your lives just like Oliver and Nattie did. Loved the video. 🙏🙏🩷💙
Wow he loads so beautifully now. The first time he was so ill and jelly legged you almost had to carry him.
I think he’s the best Clydesdale ❤
