  • The day is finally here!!! We head to our local town with our rescued Clydesdale, Oliver to the annual St Patty’s day parade! Due to our local college Missouri S&T, St Patricks day is a HUGE celebration in our hometown!! There are estimated to be roughly 40,000 people that show up for this parade every year! Wow! That’s a lot!!!
    The crowds roar was deafening, the music was blaring, floats were everywhere, candy was flying in the air! BUT, our calm, trusting and sweet boy handled it like a pro. Even though we had had faith in him from the beginning he still blew our minds with how well he handled the situation. He even enjoyed all the attention he caught from some little fans☺️
    We hope you enjoy this video. If you would like to see more of our homestead or would like a chance to win one of Oliver's Horse Shoes, check us out on patreon! - PATREON / homesteadhorsemanship
    Oliver is a two year old Clydesdale stallion that we rescued 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...

      I think he reacted nervously to the band mostly b/c he couldn't see what was going on behind him. When we humans hear a sudden, loud noise, it helps us to process if we can observe it, so instantly know what caused it.
      For him, he couldn't see what was going on behind him, so had to process the loud noise without knowing what caused it. He tried to turn to look but his head was being held looking the other way.

No Sale… Oliver travels to wasteland farm in Texas… no real food.. starving horses… Oliver weakens… dares not lie down… weeks go by… one day - a truck and trailer show up… a man gets out… Oliver is brought out to him.. IT’S The Kind Man!!! It’s JR!!!! Oliver in That Moment Knows JR HAS COME FOR HIM!!! 🐴 JR gets him into strange trailer, Oliver is weak but happy to go!!! 12 hour trip back… knowledgeable JR stops often for loving grass water drinks/breaks. Imagine what Oliver is thinking 💗🐴 💁🏻‍♂️💗. They make it to new home. Warm bedded private stall with clean water and two types of hay!!!! Loving JR and other loving humans.

I watched him being rescued hours from death. Nurtured back to health with medical care, food, water, love, and most importantly- A FAMILY WHO NOT ONLY GAVE HIM A PURPOSE BUT HELPED HIM FULFULL IT. They gave him hope and a reason to live. This is his victory march and you deserve to be proud. Tears.

    This is so crazy, I can't believe how emotional I am right now. The pride I feel for him is as if he is my baby, can't say it enough, Oliver is so special!! He is a gift from God for all us to share in love, at a time that maybe we wouldn't all agree on life choices, but Oliver does a great job by showing us to just be still when we are worried about tomorrow. You guys have done so much for Oliver, and if I am a mess watching this on UA-cam many states away, then I am sure that you just couldn't be more proud of Oliver. By the way, never said this before, but you couldn't of picked a more perfect name for him. I remember that you just said it as if it already was his name, before you even picked him up.
    You know what you have to do next , write a childrens book about him. You could call it Oliver's Travels.... or Oliver & Me... or many others.
    Great Job!! All of you did a great job, great teamwork as a family too.

    Well JR ......... We mightve clashed + not always seen eye to eye in regards to Oliver but I have to give credit where + when it's due !!
    Not many people would've braved that massive crowd with a colt under 3yrs old but not only that, with a colt you've only had for a Yr.
    I have to admit that after seeing the video you made on behalf of your friend that sadly passed away , to try + raise funds for his wife + young family, my opinion + mindset of the man I perceived you to be was changed. I didn't see an arrogant man at all, I seen an honest, humble, caring, family man.
    Also have to give praise to your beautiful daughter who just has a calmness about her with horses + for Oliver to fall asleep on her speaks volumes ❣️ . I think that absolutely helped Oliver during the parade bcos she was always in his sights .
    Congrats bcos for me to change my mindset is actually unheard of so I tip my hat to U JR. Now go + sit down before you fall down !! ( only JR + I will appreciate that private joke, ,bcos the last person he'd be expecting to hear praise from is myself) Kat, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Oliver's very first parade! How exciting! I am so glad you included the preparations. He looks absolutely gorgeous with his spa makeover and carriage gear. The wagon looked so nice. What a calm, cool, and collected 2 year old stallion in his very first parade. 😎 He acted like an old pro. I just could not stop the tears of joy rolling down my cheeks. You all must be so proud of him. His crowd manners were impeccable. I love how he lowered his head for the children. How cool that his fans drove from near and far to see him. It was wonderful to hear the crowd calling his name and cheering. He is a true international media star, beloved by thousands. His inspiring story would make a wonderful book and movie. It is an amazing testament to the miracles that love, hard work, and prayers can do. May God bless Oliver and his wonderful, loving family always. 🙏🤍🤩🤍🙏

    I understand exactly what Becca is doing. It was such an awesome job! Oliver looks so handsome! That tail is hilarious as he walks. Look at those handsome pooper scoopers. JR sister is beautiful, hi Lisa! And a special thanks to the lady who watches you guys on youtube and came to this parade. Her presents added extra excitement! All I could do while watching was SMILE! My cheeks were hurting, lol! I can imagine how you guys felt, I was on edge with you! It was a pleasure and a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing what could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to witness The Magnificent Oliver in this parade at 2 years old! Kudos to everyone!

    What a remarkable day with Oliver. He has a stable mind, with tolerance, patience and trust. And he's just under 3, so young and inexperienced in parades! I could tell it was nerve-wracking, but I hope you'll do it again. It will get better! And think of all the joy he brought to the children. When I was a child, I would have given everything I had (a candy bar and a snow cone?) to touch a horse so magnificent.
    His entire story is Divine intervention.

    Absolutely amazing. He was an untrained, sick horse, just about a year ago. The progression is nothing short of spectacular. He's just naturally laid back, but JR is his HERO and will do anything for him. Makes training easier.
    I am so so proud of the entire family, Mom, Dad and 3 great kids. Raising such a fine family isn't easy but you sure did a good job.
    I never doubted Oliver, he's accepted everything from the start.

    I just want to say how Oliver is the most divine horse and he literally could not of been rescued, or found the very best and most loving home and family EVER♥️
    I am more than thrilled AND thankful for you all, especially for your beautiful boy, who obviously has the most amazing and largest heart possible.
    To think Oliver is only two years old, was very literally knocking on death’s door a few short months ago, and had only been to the town ONE TIME prior to this parade, his whole demeanour and behaviour really was remarkable.
    Remarkable behaviour from a remarkable and extraordinary horse. The ONLY time he had a little bit of a dance, being a little scared, was literally only when the band went past him. Actually when the start of the band went past, he was perfectly fine. He didn’t bat an eyelid. He only got a little scared when the drummers went past and I personally can’t blame him. I’d be petrified if I were in his position. Especially when you think about how that was probably the first time he’d ever heard any type of drum, let alone a few of them, all banging at the exact same time, as they were walking past him. Remembering that there were so many people there, all yelling and singing out etc.
    So oh yes, your beautiful Oliver did a sensational job and I’m so extremely proud of him. He really was unbelievable when you really think about everything.
    You are so very loved Oliver♥️♥️

I am 6 feet 8 inches and around 400 pounds s I know what it's like to be a big person in a small world) Thank you folks for allowing us to be on this journey with our special young boy

    This parade brought back some sweet memories of the last parade that I took my miniature horse to. He was one fourth Oliver’s size, but Chip had a heart and soul that compared to the big boy. He especially loved the elderly as well as children. You just know when your beloved horse is content. My Chip brought a lot of joy to many people in his 21 years. I do understand, though, the sigh of relief when a a stressful event like that one is over. Good on you, Oliver! May your people always understand and care for your heart ❤️!

I love this boy soooooooooo much. I imagine if everyone in that crowd knew this babies story they would have been in tears as well.

    Oh my goodness..how special is this boy !! 🐎 He behaved impeccably..l thought you were taking him to your town parade not a big 40,000 attendees one..!! But our boy didn't let anyone down look how gentle and sweet he was with the children !! So many people wanted to fuss him and he took it all on his stride..loved the lady who came from Wisconsin to meet him.. all the noise..people etc..absolutely no indication of bad behaviour..falling asleep on Becka was just so darn cute..we all knew he was a special boy..l loved seeing the look of pride on JR'S face all the way through as if to say..yep..this is my boy !! Isn't he fabulous! All his tack look beautifully shiny and his black hooves against his white feathers 🪶..I've looked forward to watching this and of course wasn't disappointed.. l also look forward to more adventures..with no real crowd..noise..road driving practice this boy took it in his stride..he may still only be 2 but he's still a stallion and could have been a right nightmare..but this is Oliver we're talking about..the chillest boy out there..Enjoy your rest buddy..you have earned your rest and lots of 🍎 treats for your excellent behaviour..Thank you guys..you all worked so hard in so many different areas to bring this to us..🇬🇧💕✝️🙏👏👍🐎🇺🇸
