      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.

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

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

      @mustangsallie 5 місяців тому +3

      @@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.

    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’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💜*

    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.

    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❤❤

    J.R., you are truly a HORSEMAN. Look what you created. The UA-cam algorithm sent me to your channel for the auction video on Oliver, but I have stayed because of all of your horses and animals and the absolutely luminous good health they display. And for that, your whole family is responsible. Just, wow! 💕🇨🇦

    It is incredible how Oliver looks now compared to when you'll brought him to the homestead. He doesn't even look like the same horse! He is the "Big Shiny Golden Boy" now. He looks so healthy now, and JR gave him quiet the workout running. He didn't skip a beat! Love you, 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.

    There seems to be valuable lessons on many levels in Oliver and your family’s story. The one that stands out in my mind is no matter how far you may fall or how poorly you may look, or how much you have suffered, there is still a chance, there is still hope, and most of all there is still the love that complete strangers will show you. If that’s not a miracle, I don’t know what is. With Oliver at Death’s Door, and seeing J.R.’s and your family’s love for him, combined with the love and generosity of all the viewers/strangers contributing, it just makes my heart so happy. Against all odds, you folks worked a miracle, and I really do believe you were meant to be there and find Oliver.

    The power of prayer and community !!! Oliver,so loved by so many, beginning with the Rosa family 💗. And everyone’s support and contributions over these five months have wrought a miracle 🥰. Then, while watching this video, I realized that two ads ran not only before, but also two during it, first time in a couple of months, perhaps that corner has been turned as well 🤞Thank you JR and Emeri for rescuing this oh so special boy, giving him oceans of love, untold hours of work and care. It is a privilege to be a part of this!

    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.

    Watching Oliver run and buck, so beautiful and strong and happy, just brings tears to my eyes. He was in such sad shape when you brought him home, I truly did not think he would make it.
    Sometimes God works miracles by bringing people together. Thank you for giving your hearts to this boy, and for bringing us along on this journey!
