And now, it's December 15th and I watched Oliver's first & 2nd videos. I cried AGAIN. This is a movie that should be on the Hallmark Channel! It's so beautiful and heartwarming. It's a story that takes your heart and SQWEEZES it. Your followers on this channel poured out their money and their hearts to save Oliver!!! With God's help and you, JR, and all the food and medicine, he's now a large "Stud in Charge" with a baby on the way. What a story!!! I love this story and again thank you & your sweet family for taking such good care of Oliver. His life is "Going places" now. Yay!!❤😂🎉
1000s of Clydesdales on UA-cam...and then there's Oliver!!! Brought back from the brink and now living the good life. He looks so good. Thank you for the update.
Isn’t there a SPCA for horses. Or do they cover horses? He was pretty much on deaths door and they were holding out for more money. What about the other horses they have I doubt they’re in good condition.
@@teresawright5654there are animal protection agencies across the USA and Texas must be very invested in Horses. I'm looking through the comments to see if whoever is responsible for the condition Oliver was in has been exposed and stopped from ever having any animals due to her neglect and abuse of animals and the auction systems
👍 to Oliver and Cudos to you JR 👍 and your whole family for helping this Big Boy heal and grow to his Breed. He’s a testimony to your good care and knowledge of how to care for horses. 🏆⭐️🥇. You deserve to feel proud of Oliver’s progress. He has healed and grown because of your Love and care. 👍. Blessings 💞
Thank you so much for rescuing poor Oliver!! When another horse lover looked at him, she thought he would not last long enough to train for even trail riding. Now, all of you have done wonders for Oliver!!!
I don't mean to be a jerk but it looks like he was being PULLED, not running behind willingly. It made me very uncomfortable to see that. Why not let him pull something instead of dragging him behind a four wheeler by a chain/rope? CRINGE
@@paulascott5701 yes it may look like he’s being pulled but you have to remember Oliver has went thru a lot. Almost being starved to death then the PTM. He’s still a growing boy and with just trying to get him well, he was not trained to pull anything or ridden or anything of the like at the time of this video. Also with trying to get him well, Oliver is a big eater and goes slow. He really is just a gentle giant that has to be coaxed to go a little faster paced than what he wants to go.
Oliver's new family has done a lot of work. It's not easy bringing a sick horse thru the worst. Also many thanks go to the people who sent lots of good hay and medicine and all the things that this horse needed to bring him back to good health. It all costs a lot of money. And a lot of people gave generously so this horse could live and become the horse God meant him to be. He's healthy and looking really great.
Yes. Well said. Thank you to everyone who has been able to help with his purchase and his medicines, food, tack etc. And all the prayers and positive thoughts and love for Oliver and the Rosa family and homestead. There's that saying that it "takes a village to raise a child"; well it took a UA-cam community to help the Rosa family heal and raise a sick young horse. Kudos to everyone, to all of us! ❤❤😊😊
Oliver has become magnificent! What a beefy boy and he is so sweet! He will make a good trail horse for you! Thank you for saving him and loving him. Oliver is easy to love!
Oliver turned into the gentle giant he was meant to be. He was handsome before but now. He's even more handsome. His body has blossomed over the last 5 months. Thank God you saved this gorgeous horse. You took wonderful care of this big boy. You can see the love you showed him shining thru.
Way to go Ollie!!! and family of course!! I've been around horses for 40 years and to this day I have a hard time remembering that the draft breeds do not grow like our riding horses. The drafts grow more after they turn one and continue well into year 4. Congratulations on the Big Handsome Boy, your UA-cam Clyde....doin' a great job! You do not have to thank us, we are thanking you!! To have pulled him away from death's door because we viewers asked you to, that is a miracle - as is Ollie
Oliver looks wonderful! I remember his condition the first time and then again back in Texas. He's gone from sad and doomed to splendid and destined to be happy and loved the rest of his life!
Dear JR & family-you guys must be mind readers. I was wondering a lot of things about Oliver & you answered all my questions. It’s nice to see him Thriving. Thanks for loving & taking such wonderful care of him. Oliver has a big big butt now!
Oh wow! I never thought we’d see him be able to run like that. What a blessing. He is turning into one beautiful stallion. I think he and Sioux are going to have a beautiful baby.
I am so happy to hear how well Oliver is doing and that he no longer needs meds. You did a lot of work in finding him and rescuing him and then treating the EPM. I hope you and your family receive all the blessings you need because you deserve it. 🥰🐴💕❤️👍👍 Back a year later, loving this, it should be an annual celebration and update!
Hats off to you J.R. and family. The care and love you have provided Oliver has saved his life. He looks simply amazing. You can see how happy he is. Thankyou for the video. Lots of love and support from Vancouver Island BC Canada ❤
It is such a joy to see Oliver's development🐴😍! He looks and acts like a different horse and his eyes do not look sad anymore, but shine with gentleness, animation and happiness. All your efforts, love and care for sure have paid off!👍👏♥️
He looks wonderful. It appears he is one happy horse now at his forever home. You kids did an amazing job with him as well as your other horses! Good on you and your family.
The difference between dear Oliver before and him now is nothing short of miraculous! I got tears in my eyes while watching this video. Tears of sorrow and outrage at the before images. Tears of joy and triumph with the after images. Oliver is a special boy. Thank God, thank the Rosa family, and for all the Oliver community for helping Oliver become well. It's amazing what a little love can do. He is one big, handsome, sweet, happy fellow now. Best wishes and blessings to all!
You were meant to be at that auction to see Oliver. Thankfully you had such a great response from people so that you could save him. What a wonderful horse he has become. I look forward to seeing him grow up. Blessings to your family.
I’ve been watching Oliver’s story since you came across my feed on your trip down to Texas. It’s truly upsetting just what poor shape he was in. The fact a human being was *keeping* him this way is *abhorrent.* Your family, along with your family of viewers, have truly come together for his cause. In doing so we’ve been given a window into portions of your family’s lives - the care, love, dedication, breeding and training of quality, happy, loving horses. I cannot thank you enough for sharing these moments on UA-cam - they bring me such joy, especially when bed bound from my chronic illnesses flares. Jesus has asked us to take care of the least of these and I believe this includes domesticated animals who depend on humans not only for survival but also for quality and substance in their lives. Rosa Family, you are truly a blessing to all those who know you and know of you. From the bottom of my heart - *thank you💜*
I only needed to read that you suffer from chronic disease and illness to start to pray for you. (You and I have that in common.) Oliver's story is one for the ages,isn't it?
Glory to God for what he did. To have you guys at the right place at the right time. To make that connection with Oliver and bring him back to life. Bless all those involved in getting him saved. To the Homestead family as well blessings 🙏❤
That’s a massive change in Oliver in just four months. Great testament for Oliver, but also for the complete and loving care he has received from y’all.
Oliver is blooming inside and out!! Thank you so much for saving him AND giving him all the medical and personal attention he so desperately needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Glad we could help! Oliver immediately stole our hearts. There is something magical about Oliver. He’s such a gentle giant, warms the heart to see him doing so well. He’s just an angel from heaven. To be where he is now from where he was, is short of a miracle. 🌹❤
My granddaughter is going to be so happy to see this. She askes me about Oliver every time I go over to see them. While she is not "horse crazy" something about Oliver sparked an interest in her. She does not know it yet but we have booked a few riding lessons for her at a local stable. She may love it...or she may hate it...but as parents and grandparents we have to give them the chance...and get out of their way. You may have changed her life as well as Oliver's. Thank you.
It's truly wonderful just how far he has come, you can start to see just what an amazing Clydesdale Oliver will be when he is a mature horse, truly wonderful, thank you, thank you🐴🐎🐴
I cried watching Oliver running in the field. What an amazing transformation and could not have happened with out you and your family and all of us watching/supporting and love him dearly. God bless 🥰
It is amazing what Oliver has come to mean to me. I have some major health problems and am now disable. I wish I could do something to help support Oliver and someday I might be able till then I have done all I can do by sharing and talking up your channel. I’m not a big horse person I have owned a few way back in my youth. I first subscribed because Jerry ask his viewers to and I watched a few of the river videos and just happened to see the first Oliver video and was touched by how sad he looked and I started watching a little more often so I’ve been following him from the beginning. I have since watched all of your videos at least twice and several many more times. I talk about Oliver so much my wife says he is like one of my nephews. Somewhere along the way I’ve noticed Rebecca and how amazing she is for her age. If you should ever find yourself near North Carolina I would consider it a great honor to meet and shake your hand. I think it would be great if you and Jerry could work together building Oliver a show cart it could make some great crossover videos that I think would help both channels. Forgive me for this rambling mess. God bless you all you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I love the comparison video! The transformation is amazing as well as beating the odds with EPM! His coloring is perfect! What a handsome happy boy now! ❤️
Hallelujah!!! Jesus is Lord!! We Declared and Decreed over this boy, and WELL, Look at God!!! Also Father, we thank you for bringing JR to this boy, and we ask Lord, that you Bless him and Oliver, always!!! Good job, JR!! Thank you for pouring your love and attn into him!!!💯%❤🐎❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏😘
Oliver's transformative healing is amazing to see. Thank you so very much for taking the time to prepare this video so that we could all witness his progress. Yowza -- he looks wonderful -- and what a gentle soul. How can you not love him, huh? Keep up the great work. Oliver's current condition speaks to the kind of heart the Homestead Family has. Best wishes to you for continued success. I'll keep watching for your videos. I'm a great fan of your gentle touch with the horses. JV
This is an amazing story and you guys have performed a miracle! If you hadn’t have rescued Oliver he would have been horse meat. He is now an absolutely stunning Clydesdale. And what a happy boy he is. Credit to you all. ❤❤
Can horses with a disease such as EPM be slaughtered for human consumption?! It seems similar to mad cow disease that effects the spinal cord & limits what parts can be used. I would not want to feed EPM to a dog either. Just the thought seems awful.
@@littlewiseowl4405Not the same thing, because EPM is caused by Protozoa that can be killed by medication. Mad cow is a prion disease which is caused by beta pleated sheets of protein in the brain, and they don’t know the cause.
I love your channel and family. Your horses are so beautiful. How fulfilling it must be to see some of your horses come in such poor condition and transition to healthy, gentle horses; all because of your care and experience. I think God is blessing your family😊 Thankful that Oliver is having a successful recovery. So sad how he was and happy to see him now.
Such a handsome handsome sweetheart of a horse. His gentle spirit shines through. It will be very interesting to see how he responds to training. Thank you for all you do for him and the rest of your animals. Kindness pays off. 💛💛🙏🙏👍👍
He's not only getting gorgeous, he's becoming a pretty mover. It is going to be fun to watch him as he grows, gains skills. Nice you keep track of him needing to be cooler.
In response to your "Herd Happenings" post of 4 days ago, I commented on how Oliver has blossomed, and with this vlog you've done an awesome job of documenting his transformation! Thank you! I had no idea the extent of the damage he had from the EPM - and to see him running now is truely a miraculous blessing! Thank you again for giving this young horse the time, care, medicine, and groceries to heal him both physically and mentally.
What a wonderful video. It’s Amazing how far he has come in just over 5 months. Thank you Rosa family ❤ for the the Love and Care you provide Oliver and the rest of the horses. I Love watching your videos 🥰.
I Love Watching Your Very Informative And Sometimes Funny Especially Handsome Oliver!!! Thank You From My Heart To Your Yours Rosa Family For Putting So Much Kindness And Love Into Oliver He Is So Special 🤎🤎🤎
There was no life in his eyes when you brought him home. He was at death's door. Now he is a strong healthy young stallion, and so handsome! Thank you for all you have done for him. It's really quite a "love story".❤😊 I still miss little Colt. The only sad spot in the Oliver Saga, the loss of his "mini me".😢
Having lived in St Louis 45+ years, I’m very familiar with what a Clydesdale looks like. Oliver looks as good as any one of the boys pulling the Budweiser wagon. Thank you for giving Oliver his best life.
To JR and your family it brings tears of pure joy to my eyes to how well you all have put so much care and love in to Oliver, it was meant to be that Oliver came into your lives because he needed the right family to take care of him. Your family are true hero's in my book for giving Oliver his life back and a reason to hold his head up high. I love you , your family and Oliver and all of your animals. JR you'll can hold your heads up high. Blessing to you all.
You know sometimes it's not what you do, but that you simply do something. Not every act of kindness turns out like this, but when it does it's one of the best feelings you can have. I offered help, as did so many others and it's nice to know it helped Oliver to get better. To see him in all his glory today is more thanks than expected. He looks and IS a totally new creation. All the help in the world could only do so much. You owe Oliver's recovery to OUR Lord, Jesus. It was his choice to cure him. I want to think that seeing how everyone was willing to offer help through either prayer or donations, Jesus thought he would gift him a new life with you all and I guess to a degree us out here. Take good care of this handsome boy. He is afterall, a gift from GOD❤❤
Oliver is a Miracle. He is certainly not the sick, hungry sad horse you brought home. It’s a pure miracle that you were able to rescue him. I can see how happy he is at your Homestead and how much he trusts you. He is a magnificent boy. It was so lovely to see him running with JR and the ATV. Your family are amazing. Blessings to all 🙏🙏🐴🐴💗💗
Thank you for your kindness and warm welcome to Oliver and I’m impressed with how much he has improved in such a short amount of time with you and your family.
I’m so happy I’ve been here since you first got Oliver. The difference between then and now shows how much love & care you’ve provided him and all of your animals. Everyone is so happy and healthy.❤😊
Wow, Oliver looks amazing absolutely stunning, , he is a lucky horse to have so many people rooting him on, Jr and your family have done a wonderful job 🎉❤
This Video brought tears of Joy & happiness to my eyes. Oliver is now a Beautiful handsome strong thriving happy horse❣️💯❤️ 😊He is Loving his Family & Life❣️💯❤️💕😊
Your family are absolutely wonderful people. You knew how much work it would take to get Oliver healthy and you still took on the challenge. I am so thankful he ended up in your family. I don't think he would have survived another auction. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. You guys are freakin awesome. Love and prayers sent your way.
I had forgotten just how close to death's door Oliver was. So thin and weak and in pain, and such a sad face. Precious Oliver. Thank you so, so much for all you've done for him! I'm sure you must be ecstatic, as we all are, to see how glowingly healthy and strong and gorgeous he's become in such a short time. What a wonderful, incredible job you guys have done with sweet Oliver. We love him and you and pray for his continued prospering and growth, and for you and your family, that God would bless you and continue to keep His hands on you and all you beautiful horses. 🙏🏻✝️🐎❤️ P.S. Didn't know JR was so big, lol!
He looked so sad at the auction, then when you went to pick him up he didn't feel well, he was sick and low weight. Then Colt helped him servive at the farm. Look at him now!!!
Aww Oliver's eyes totally changed! He was miserable and hopless back then. He's all confident and happy now. What a remarkable transformation. Thanks for saving this beautiful soul from hell really. You guys are truly angels on Earth. God bless ❤❤
I think the stars aligned for Oliver to have been found by the Rosa family when he desperately needed help and love. Furthermore, that so many viewers saw that encounter and were moved so deeply that they funded the Rosa family’s pursuit of purchasing Oliver and bringing him to their loving home and healing him. He really is a beautiful horse.

And now, it's December 15th and I watched Oliver's first & 2nd videos. I cried AGAIN. This is a movie that should be on the Hallmark Channel! It's so beautiful and heartwarming. It's a story that takes your heart and SQWEEZES it. Your followers on this channel poured out their money and their hearts to save Oliver!!! With God's help and you, JR, and all the food and medicine, he's now a large "Stud in Charge" with a baby on the way. What a story!!!

1000s of Clydesdales on UA-cam...and then there's Oliver!!! Brought back from the brink and now living the good life. He looks so good. Thank you for the update.
Completely agree, he has made such a big impression on us all.
That is what TLC does to the soul. It heals. Thank you for taking care of this handsome fella and all your other animals.
And it reaches out and enriches others- what a wonderful recovery❤❤❤
Ditto!
❤❤❤great job there...

Oliver, you gorgeous hunk! Miraculous! Bless you all for helping that sad- faced boy! What a change!
This was bittersweet and it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad that Oliver is doing well.
I’ve been watching Oliver’s story from the beginning. It’s been a heartwarming journey! Seeing him run behind JRs four wheeler was the perfect reward.
I don't mean to be a jerk but it looks like he was being PULLED, not running behind willingly. It made me very uncomfortable to see that. Why not let him pull something instead of dragging him behind a four wheeler by a chain/rope? CRINGE

We remember you, too, Colt. Gone but not forgotten ❤

Oliver's new family has done a lot of work. It's not easy bringing a sick horse thru the worst. Also many thanks go to the people who sent lots of good hay and medicine and all the things that this horse needed to bring him back to good health. It all costs a lot of money. And a lot of people gave generously so this horse could live and become the horse God meant him to be. He's healthy and looking really great.
Yes. Well said. Thank you to everyone who has been able to help with his purchase and his medicines, food, tack etc. And all the prayers and positive thoughts and love for Oliver and the Rosa family and homestead.

Can horses with a disease such as EPM be slaughtered for human consumption?! It seems similar to mad cow disease that effects the spinal cord & limits what parts can be used. I would not want to feed EPM to a dog either. Just the thought seems awful.
@@littlewiseowl4405 look it up
@@littlewiseowl4405Not the same thing, because EPM is caused by Protozoa that can be killed by medication. Mad cow is a prion disease which is caused by beta pleated sheets of protein in the brain, and they don’t know the cause.
I love your channel and family. Your horses are so beautiful. How fulfilling it must be to see some of your horses come in such poor condition and transition to healthy, gentle horses; all because of your care and experience. I think God is blessing your family😊 Thankful that Oliver is having a successful recovery. So sad how he was and happy to see him now.
He is soooo beautiful. Well done! Glad to see what love and care can do for such a sweet horse.
I absolutely love this horse. What a sweetheart. Thank you so much.
What a joy to see Oliver's improvement. Under your care he has become the horse he was meant to be, I look forward to more videos of Oliver.
Such a handsome handsome sweetheart of a horse. His gentle spirit shines through. It will be very interesting to see how he responds to training. Thank you for all you do for him and the rest of your animals. Kindness pays off. 💛💛🙏🙏👍👍
That's exactly what I was thinking before Emery even said it, enough love and care is what put him in the
30 % recovery
❤🙏
I truly believe so❤️
He's not only getting gorgeous, he's becoming a pretty mover. It is going to be fun to watch him as he grows, gains skills. Nice you keep track of him needing to be cooler.
In response to your "Herd Happenings" post of 4 days ago, I commented on how Oliver has blossomed, and with this vlog you've done an awesome job of documenting his transformation! Thank you! I had no idea the extent of the damage he had from the EPM - and to see him running now is truely a miraculous blessing! Thank you again for giving this young horse the time, care, medicine, and groceries to heal him both physically and mentally.
What a wonderful video. It’s Amazing how far he has come in just over 5 months. Thank you Rosa family ❤ for the the Love and Care you provide Oliver and the rest of the horses. I Love watching your videos 🥰.
I Love Watching Your Very Informative And Sometimes Funny Especially Handsome Oliver!!! Thank You From My Heart To Your Yours Rosa Family For Putting So Much Kindness And Love Into Oliver He Is So Special 🤎🤎🤎
Olive has really changed for the better into a more beautiful horse. So much fun watching him grow into a beauty.
There was no life in his eyes when you brought him home. He was at death's door. Now he is a strong healthy young stallion, and so handsome! Thank you for all you have done for him. It's really quite a "love story".❤😊
I still miss little Colt. The only sad spot in the Oliver Saga, the loss of his "mini me".😢
Just the change in his coat alone is unreal! So exciting to see how he's improved!
So great to see Oliver again and how good he is looking, what a darling horse 🐎 he is💕🙏😉
Having lived in St Louis 45+ years, I’m very familiar with what a Clydesdale looks like. Oliver looks as good as any one of the boys pulling the Budweiser wagon. Thank you for giving Oliver his best life.
He's a chunky monkey!!! You guys did a wonderful job with him! God bless you all!!!❤
Wow Oliver has come a long way under your loving care! Well done and thank you for taking such good care of him and giving him a happy healthy life!😊
To JR and your family it brings tears of pure joy to my eyes to how well you all have put so much care and love in to Oliver, it was meant to be that Oliver came into your lives because he needed the right family to take care of him. Your family are true hero's in my book for giving Oliver his life back and a reason to hold his head up high. I love you , your family and Oliver and all of your animals. JR you'll can hold your heads up high. Blessing to you all.
You know sometimes it's not what you do, but that you simply do something. Not every act of kindness turns out like this, but when it does it's one of the best feelings you can have. I offered help, as did so many others and it's nice to know it helped Oliver to get better. To see him in all his glory today is more thanks than expected. He looks and IS a totally new creation. All the help in the world could only do so much. You owe Oliver's recovery to OUR Lord, Jesus. It was his choice to cure him. I want to think that seeing how everyone was willing to offer help through either prayer or donations, Jesus thought he would gift him a new life with you all and I guess to a degree us out here. Take good care of this handsome boy. He is afterall, a gift from GOD❤❤
Oliver is a Miracle. He is certainly not the sick, hungry sad horse you brought home. It’s a pure miracle that you were able to rescue him. I can see how happy he is at your Homestead and how much he trusts you. He is a magnificent boy. It was so lovely to see him running with JR and the ATV. Your family are amazing. Blessings to all 🙏🙏🐴🐴💗💗
Oliver looks fabulous thanks to your love and care ! I'm sure OLIVER knows how lucky he is ... That you found him.💓💓💖💝💛💜💙❤❤
Thank you for your kindness and warm welcome to Oliver and I’m impressed with how much he has improved in such a short amount of time with you and your family.
Oliver is beautiful, I like how he totally focuses on eating.
Wow he sure has grown by leaps and bounds! All that great feed really paid off, so nice to see the improvement in his health too.
Love that boy ! What a grand job you have done! 🤠
I’m so happy I’ve been here since you first got Oliver. The difference between then and now shows how much love & care you’ve provided him and all of your animals. Everyone is so happy and healthy.❤😊
I’m so thankful you rescued him. What a transformation in only 5 months! Amazing! I look forward to seeing Oliver grow into his full glory.❤️
Wow, Oliver looks amazing absolutely stunning, , he is a lucky horse to have so many people rooting him on, Jr and your family have done a wonderful job 🎉❤
This is such a joy to see. Thank you for your care of him, and sharing his story with us.
You and your family have worked wonders. Thank you for the love and care you have given to the animals. Thank you from Cape Town.

This Video brought tears of Joy & happiness to my eyes. Oliver is now a Beautiful handsome strong thriving happy horse❣️💯❤️ 😊He is Loving his Family & Life❣️💯❤️💕😊
Looking good Oliver!! ❤
Your family are absolutely wonderful people. You knew how much work it would take to get Oliver healthy and you still took on the challenge. I am so thankful he ended up in your family. I don't think he would have survived another auction. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. You guys are freakin awesome. Love and prayers sent your way.
Lovely video guys. Thank you for your wonderful care of Oliver. God bless to all of you and your animals. ❤❤
What a beautiful transformation. Your family has been wonderful to watch. Thank you for all you have done for Oliver.
It's all of the love and care y'all have shown the boy !! He's a beautiful fella.
I had forgotten just how close to death's door Oliver was. So thin and weak and in pain, and such a sad face. Precious Oliver. Thank you so, so much for all you've done for him! I'm sure you must be ecstatic, as we all are, to see how glowingly healthy and strong and gorgeous he's become in such a short time. What a wonderful, incredible job you guys have done with sweet Oliver. We love him and you and pray for his continued prospering and growth, and for you and your family, that God would bless you and continue to keep His hands on you and all you beautiful horses. 🙏🏻✝️🐎❤️ P.S. Didn't know JR was so big, lol!
He's a credit to your hard work and his inner strength. Well done, you must feel so proud!
He looked so sad at the auction, then when you went to pick him up he didn't feel well, he was sick and low weight. Then Colt helped him servive at the farm. Look at him now!!!
He is so beautiful. From beginning to now, he shines. Bravo to you all and thank you.
Aww Oliver's eyes totally changed! He was miserable and hopless back then. He's all confident and happy now. What a remarkable transformation. Thanks for saving this beautiful soul from hell really. You guys are truly angels on Earth. God bless ❤❤
JR you and your family did a wonderful job with Oliver I am so happy Oliver is part of your wonderful family.
I'm glad your fans could chip in and get the money to buy
And save Oliver live. Ps I like watching your dad's channel. God bless your family
I think the stars aligned for Oliver to have been found by the Rosa family when he desperately needed help and love. Furthermore, that so many viewers saw that encounter and were moved so deeply that they funded the Rosa family’s pursuit of purchasing Oliver and bringing him to their loving home and healing him. He really is a beautiful horse.
