I don't understand why people are so judgemental, you can use whatever commands you want with your own animals. The most important thing is to treat them with love and respect and be consistent in training. Oliver is a real treasure ❤
back when used regular and necessary, when bought, sold, traded,borrowed... it was common commands helped even rookies... like the Amish, not everyone is a horseman, there are "mechanics" that swap and fix... the "one man" training attitude is fine if never in public or having to trade caretakers...
I have been around a lot of dog trainers in my voluntary pet therapy and animal rescue days. They all had different methods of training and commands they used. Some trainers were excellent and some I would not take my own dogs to. My personal trainer was excellent. It was all positive reinforcement, simple commands and consistentancy. JR can use what is comfortable for him.
He’s amazing for a 2 yr old. So willing and eager to please. I’m British and thank-you so much for rescuing and helping preserve our wonderful Clydesdales. These, and our Shire horses, are the gentle giants that have stood the test of time. 🥰
I'm British too and it's so gd to see a Clyesdale doing the work they were bred to do. Sad to say we are losing alot of our heavy breeds like the Suffolk Punch and Clyesdale and Shire here in U.K although there are dedicated Breeders fighting to save them. Watching Olivers story has been a beautiful advert for these gentle Giants. I'm impressed with how the Americans take to them and our Gypsy Cobs. I have a Tobiano mare and Traditional Piebald Mare both the gentlest of horses and a New forest pony and his pal a shetland x Welsh. Love the native breeds.
Eager to please? It's not like he has a choice. He is being forced to do this kind of work. The dude needs to buy a tractor and quit using poor animals for physical labor. 😱👎
@@hawaiibound. Lol this is one of the silliest comments I've ever seen on youtube. You have no idea how good this is for this animal, but considering the ignorance of your comment, I won't waste my time explaining.
@@hawaiibound. These “poor animals” if not usable for physical labor will then cease to exist. The breed will soon be extinct. It’s not as if Oliver is being worked all day every day. The training he does, learning moves and commands, being involved in projects, various outings like this - this is mental stimulation. Or enrichment, as it is nowadays called. Or did you want these horses to just spend 30 years mooching aimlessly around a field?
From the start, Oliver has not shied from the dogs, the atv, not reacted to the mares, nothing has startled him. He has always put his full faith and trust in you. It doesn't matter what commands you use, because he is your horse. He is extremely well cared for, well fed and he is loved. There is nothing more that you should be doing, regardless of couch potatoes telling you what to do. He does show a bit of spice sometimes but I am happy he does, it shows he's thinking for himself which is not a bad thing. I also see he knows exactly what he is supposed to be doing, and he wants to do it by himself, that shows so much growth. You two are an excellent team. ❤
It’s quite amazing how far Oliver has come in 10 months, from barely being able to walk to pulling the cart. You all have done a fantastic job with him, keep up the good work and god bless.
What a good boy! As someone who was deprived of horses her entire life, your videos bring me a lot of joy! I had to edit to tell you how much I also loved seeing that log cabin on your way home!
How excited Oliver is to get to work. He is a joy to watch, and the two of you together are a great example of how important it is to be connected. The whole family is involved. 🎶💐💖
Oliver looks so handsome dressed in all his gear. He seems to be very proud of himself and his accomplishments. I just love him. Thanks for sharing Oliver with us.
Oliver is so keen to help you out, he’s done so well with his training, and he totally enjoys it. You can tell. Thank you to you both for helping Oliver get to where he is now. you have done a great job on him.I love Oliver and his eyelashes, he’s a handsome boy. Many thanks 🐴💐❤️❤️💙💙
I remember that first image of the sad, thin, dejected colt at the very first auction you ever laid eyes on him. Seeing the strong healthy boy trotting toward your parents farm with the load of firewood was an image to behold! How far you and Oliver have come. It is wonderful. Hope Emeri follows through and puts together an Oliver calendar. And to think this young man is also going to have a youngster on the ground later this year! NICE! - ACD
Oliver was so sick and weak he was afraid to lie down. 😢To see him now, healthy, having purpose, and much loved, just warms my heart❤. Thank you for letting me share this journey. 🙏🏻 JR, ask for an oil can for Valentine Day!
That horse will do what you train him to with the commands you teach him. There is no set rules. My Dad had a team of horses and they loved him and would do anything for him. It was the relationship between the two. He is wonderful. So majestic.
Olivier is very handsome......who cares what other people think about the way you train your animals.... he's your train him the way you are both comfortable......nice job Olivier and JR......
My grandfather used horses in the Maine woods, most of his life, and it was some of the best memories. What a pleasure seeing Oliver fulfilling his purpose. He moves so well. He looks very happy.
Oliver is clearly bringing it. He may have a little trouble figuring things out for a second but he tries very hard and always ends up doing what you ask. What a sweet horse.
Oliver is looking good and doing great. “Earning his oats”. Drafts learn by repetition. Oliver’s muscles are filling out. Don’t let criticizers get to you. Drafts are workers not pets. He is smart he wants to please. Never been abused or overworked. It’s great when you can get a young one and train them up. Maybe one day he will have a team mate. He is a beautiful boy and yiur knowledge is well rounded.
I'm so impressed with what Oliver has learned in such a short period of time. These videos have been so enlightening for me in that I never would have been exposed to the training and skills of these beautiful animals if you didn't post these videos. Not only is Oliver learning, you have a whole host of followers who are learning and appreciating what you are doing. Thank you!
Oliver is doing great, even for his young age, as you eluded to! Big gentle boy who is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside! Thank you for sharing!! I truly love seeing your precious boy, Oliver! God bless you all and your beautiful fur babies🙏🏻🥰❣️
Oliver will only get better and so will the person who owns Oliver because they are learning together because it takes time and care and love to train these big horses to work in harness
Your husbandry and training of Oliver has transformed him into a beautiful and health Clydesdale. He is one special Clydesdale and you have a special gift as an owner and trainer. All your horses are very lucky.
Oliver may only be 2, but you can see from his body language that he knows when tour prepping him for work, and just how much he wants to work. Just how he holds his head pulling the wagon is indicative of how proud he feels to have a job.
He is just beautiful! I love the sound his hooves make as he is trotting down the road. He is so strong and beautiful and has come such a long way thanks to your love and care JR. ❤
Oliver is doing so well. When you were hitching him up, you "whoaed him", his feet were not squared up yet he stood still for you. He is so smart and so willing. God really blessed you and Oliver when you found each other. Maybe his original owners, the farm where he was bred and born, prayed for him to go to a good home. He went thru a rough patch on his way to your farm but I believe he was for you. In some way perhaps an answer to a prayer that you sent to God as well. Look how this one horse coming into your life has changed your plans for your breeding program and the people that this horse has brought into your life, Ruben and others that you have reached out to in order to learn about draft horses. The auctions and shows you have gone to. And of course a whole huge community of viewers whose interests in horses are doubt varied, from fox trotter owners, other horse owners and all of us non equestrians but horse lovers etc. WOW!! God sure works in mysterious ways. Ya gotta just love it. Love to everyone, human and animal, at the homestead and love to all my fellow viewers. Stay safe in this crazy weather. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
What a transformation! He is a beautiful creature. Growing up, one of my favorite books was “Black Beauty”. I have no idea if the horse information is accurate, but the love and respect that made the horses want to do their work is the same way you treat your animals. Thank you!
❤❤ Oliver is a gentle giant who really wants to work and please. He loves being out working with the you and your family JR. Lord bless all of you and all of the animals. Oliver is doing beautifully.
Oliver is such a wonderful horse. When I watch him trotting along pulling the wood cart he looks so confident and proud. Thank you for all you have done making him healthy and strong. He is magnificent!❤
Oliver has definitely LEARNED so much..thanks to your kindness and steady approach with all the handling you've done with him...the mutual respect shows.,the commands are what work for you ..and you both have done a good days work... especially when it's so cold outside... I honestly didn't think Oliver would look this amazing 10 months after you got him...he was so sick...bless you both for all the love and care you've given him ..hope your Dad is back to good health soon.
I love watching Oliver at whatever adventures he is into. He's awesome at helping out and doing his job. I can't wait to see him fully grown with muscles. Lol. Don't pay any attention to negative people. They are going to judge no matter what. It's your business on how you train them. Oliver is loved and well taken care of and that's all that matters. Thank you for bringing him into your lives and ours. He is such a sweet boy. The gentle giant.. I love me some Oliver. I wish I could come hang out with the horses and love on all of them, especially Oliver. Hugs to y'all
He's ready to please you I can't help but think if yall hadn't found him when you did he may have not made. I Praise the Lord for yall. Thank you so much. I'm to poor to send anything but prayers.
I've learned from other channels that so many horses end up blind... Sometimes because being worked without blinders to PROTECT THEIR EYES. Often they can get staked or scraped their eyeballs by broken branches on trees as they go working...
"Good Boy, Oliver"... Impressive and so loved... Blessings for a speedy recovery and continued great health for your dad... Much respect, admiration and blessings to JR's and Emery's beautiful family... 🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋
I just love watching Oliver work. I smile when he does not stay put or it takes several commands for him to backup, but he is still learning.....it just brings a smile to my face. In another year he will work like a champ. He is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and God bless you all.
It's amazing how much he has learned in such a short time. Oliver is doing a great job maneuvering the wagon with your direction. And he looks amazing in his harness!! I love all the detailing and rich dark color against his coloring. I'm so excited to see him grow in the future!!❤❤❤❤❤
Oliver is like an obedient young child with manners and willingness to burn. What a gentleman he is even though you sometimes give him no space between Directives! He is always trying so hard ,love how Emery is quick to praise his good Work well done all❤ R
I can hardly believe how far Oliver has come. I wept when you went to pick him up-he was so sick 😢. He is such a beautiful boy now 🤩‼️ He’s learning so quickly!
It’s very emotional seeing him doing so well. A year ago he was literally dying from what is often a fatal neurological disease. Now look at him. It’s incredible.
I must say. In general, Oliver is more woah than go, but when it's time to work, he gets excited and can't WAIT to get going! He's got to learn patience, but you can't blame him for being excited to get going! ❤. He's young and happy to please you Jr. You fellas together make a great team!
Oliver is your horse and it's your decision which commands you want to use. Don't listen to people on the Tubes here who are negative. That being said, I had no idea that Clydesdale and Shire horses are trained that early. But you live and learn. I love these giant horses and it pains me that some of them are just used for labor and then discarded like a piece of junk. They are so eager to please and usually have such a calm demeanor. Oliver is just gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing. What a fabulous family you all are and I'm including the animals. I love the way you all love each other... humans to animals and animals to humans. It just makes my heart sing to watch your videos. I think Oliver is doing fabulously well but it's all because you guys loved him back to health and well-being. Much love and joy to all
Oliver is an amazing horse thanks to J.R. training . They are a fantastic team. I love the way that J.R. wife encourages OLIVER it so sweet and I am sure Oliver likes being praised. Horses are smart ❤❤❤
What you do to Oliver is exactly what I was tought born on a farm. With respect & love you can do amazing stuff with animals. In 5 years Oliver will be a master of whatever you put him through. Cos he trust you ❤😎
You guys have done an amazing job with him. You're a great, loving, firm, and patient trainer, and it is clearly reflected in his calm demeanor and willingness to learn and please.
Oliver is doing great, I was training my Tennessee walking horse, before I got to sick, but she's got a great home cause I can't walk anymore,and they have continued her training and she looks good. And blinders aren't cruel, they are very important.
Oliver sure is a great looking Clydesdale!!! I love watching him work for you. He loves you to pieces Jr!!!! "Back" is the only one he needs to work on and he's getting it!!!!!
Oliver earned his food. He is getting better at pulling things. Go Oliver! 🎉 Not liking to stand is due to his age. He is still a baby. He will be standing without being tied up in no time. He sure is handy around the ranch. He is going to get taller and fill out nicely.
He looks so healthy and strong now and he has grown so much. You are the Horse Whispers. A huge transformation from when you first got him. I just love Oliver. He is so lucky because this could have been a tragic outcome, but Homestead family has taken him him. God Bless you and your family for the work you do.
How blessed you and your family are to have such work to do. Having Oliver, and using him and giving him a purpose is a blessing too. God Bless you, your family and all your horses.
What a beautiful big boy he is becoming. Thank you for rescuing Oliver. You and your family are providing him with the perfect home! It warms my heart to see Oliver and the opportunity for him to be happy.
i realise it's a LOT of hard work for you all, and we only get to see a 'snapshot', but i also reckon God did you a big favour, putting that horse your way. you are privileged - that is one beautiful beast with a super lovely attitude
Oliver is such a wonderful horse he has become a really fantastic working horse , considering the conditions he came from and with more time and encouragement I am sure he will be a fantastic driving horse or a riding horse !
Oliver is so handsome in that harness!😍 The blinders are also for safety and protecting his eyes. Without them Oliver could hit the ditch staring at the ladies!🤣🤣💖🐎🐴💖
Trigger and Roy... I mean Oliver and JR.... :) Are growing into such a great team! Oliver's starting look grown! He's doing great with the wagon. He has such a happy trot!!
I don't understand why people are so judgemental, you can use whatever commands you want with your own animals. The most important thing is to treat them with love and respect and be consistent in training. Oliver is a real treasure ❤
Narrow thinking! They don’t look at the bigger picture just react with traditional ideas! There are many ways to do many things!
back when used regular and necessary, when bought, sold, traded,borrowed... it was common commands helped even rookies... like the Amish, not everyone is a horseman, there are "mechanics" that swap and fix... the "one man" training attitude is fine if never in public or having to trade caretakers...
Because 9 times out of 10, people are A@@&*()#. That to them is their job. Miserable angry existence.
I have been around a lot of dog trainers in my voluntary pet therapy and animal rescue days. They all had different methods of training and commands they used. Some trainers were excellent and some I would not take my own dogs to. My personal trainer was excellent. It was all positive reinforcement, simple commands and consistentancy.

Agree with you. “Good job” for JR and his family.
He’s amazing for a 2 yr old. So willing and eager to please.

Apples anyone??
What a good boy! As someone who was deprived of horses her entire life, your videos bring me a lot of joy! I had to edit to tell you how much I also loved seeing that log cabin on your way home!
Oliver is such a sweet intelligent horse. Double carrot treat.What a gem you rescued.❤❤❤❤❤❤
How excited Oliver is to get to work. He is a joy to watch, and the two of you together are a great example of how important it is to be connected. The whole family is involved. 🎶💐💖
Oliver looks so handsome dressed in all his gear. He seems to be very proud of himself and his accomplishments. I just love him. Thanks for sharing Oliver with us.

I think Oliver's enthusiasm for this activity shows he thinks of it as his adventure for the day instead of hard work! 😊
Olivier is very handsome......who cares what other people think about the way you train your animals.... he's your train him the way you are both comfortable......nice job Olivier and JR......
My grandfather used horses in the Maine woods, most of his life, and it was some of the best memories. What a pleasure seeing Oliver fulfilling his purpose. He moves so well. He looks very happy.
We The People are in love with Oliver ❤🐴
Oliver is so good delivering firewood to your parent's home. He is really getting better with his training. 🥰
And he's about got the route memorized too!!! Yay Oliver!!!
For a 2 yr old stallion he's a pretty chill little dude
Oliver is clearly bringing it. He may have a little trouble figuring things out for a second but he tries very hard and always ends up doing what you ask. What a sweet horse.

His parking is great! Especially considering that he can't see where he's going so he has to completely trust that you're guiding him to safety.
Oliver is doing great, even for his young age, as you eluded to! Big gentle boy who is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside! Thank you for sharing!! I truly love seeing your precious boy, Oliver! God bless you all and your beautiful fur babies🙏🏻🥰❣️
Wow! Oliver looks fantastic! I cannot believe it’s only been 10 months! He looks so healthy and seems to be learning very fast. Great job. ❤
You can tell both Oliver and Jr are getting a lot more comfortable with hooking up
Oliver will only get better and so will the person who owns Oliver because they are learning together because it takes time and care and love to train these big horses to work in harness
I am so proud of Oliver, he is doing a fantastic job driving🎉👍. Give him a hug and kiss for me 😘
You all have done a wonderful job with Oliver! Accomplished alot in a short period of time. Be proud of your Accomplishments, I sure am.
Oliver is doing so well.I can't get enough of watching his development.

I’m so impressed with how well Oliver tolerated the noise of the 4-wheeler and the chain saw.
It is so wonderful to watch you and Oliver working together. Oliver is so calm.

Horse and driver, both amazing. What a great job they did with Oliver.
Oliver has turned into a real diamond 💎 in the rough. ❤
Oliver is amazing, I’m so thankful God placed him in your life. You saved his life, it’s wonderful to follow his progress.❤
He's ready to please you
I can't help but think if yall hadn't found him when you did he may have not made.
I Praise the Lord for yall. Thank you so much. I'm to poor to send anything but prayers.
I've learned from other channels that so many horses end up blind...
Sometimes because being worked without blinders to PROTECT THEIR EYES.
Often they can get staked or scraped their eyeballs by broken branches on trees as they go working...
Thanks for sharing that. Thoght they were only to prevent a horse from getting spooked.
"Good Boy, Oliver"... Impressive and so loved... Blessings for a speedy recovery and continued great health for your dad...
Much respect, admiration and blessings to JR's and Emery's beautiful family...
🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋
Oliver is doing spectacular for being so young!!!
I just love watching Oliver work. I smile when he does not stay put or it takes several commands for him to backup, but he is still learning.....it just brings a smile to my face. In another year he will work like a champ. He is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and God bless you all.
Such a good boy Oliver has come a,long way ❤❤❤
One of favorite vids is Oliver swimming with you!!!!
I know this is old but I'm so impressed with how well Oliver has learned to pull, especially lining him up to hitch the trailer. Awesome!
It's amazing how much he has learned in such a short time. Oliver is doing a great job maneuvering the wagon with your direction. And he looks amazing in his harness!! I love all the detailing and rich dark color against his coloring. I'm so excited to see him grow in the future!!❤❤❤❤❤
Oliver is like an obedient young child with manners and willingness to burn.
What a gentleman he is even though you sometimes give him no space between
Directives! He is always trying so hard ,love how Emery is quick to praise his good
Work well done all❤
R
He is just such a good clever boy! He is doing so great with your great teaching skills!
Oliver is amazing! I love him and what you guys have done for him. Love all your horses. Oliver is special.
Oliver is looking great and performing just as well.
My brother had a twin team of draft horses - logged, drove and used them
for all the farm chores. He would love your stories of Oliver.
Oliver LOOKS SO GOOD! Good job family! He is a special horse.❤️🙏🏻💪
Olver is a very likeable horse.
I can hardly believe how far Oliver has come. I wept when you went to pick him up-he was so sick 😢. He is such a beautiful boy now 🤩‼️ He’s learning so quickly!
It’s very emotional seeing him doing so well. A year ago he was literally dying from what is often a fatal neurological disease. Now look at him. It’s incredible.
At just two years old, and also after what he went through - this is amazing!
Oliver has the prettiest gait for such a big boy!
I must say. In general, Oliver is more woah than go, but when it's time to work, he gets excited and can't WAIT to get going! He's got to learn patience, but you can't blame him for being excited to get going! ❤. He's young and happy to please you Jr. You fellas together make a great team!
Well done Oliver. JR you have done amazing with this beautiful boy.. ❤
I love watching you with Oliver. You are so kind to him. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amen.
Oliver is an amazing horse thanks to J.R. training . They are a fantastic team. I love the way that J.R. wife encourages OLIVER it so sweet and I am sure Oliver likes being praised. Horses are smart ❤❤❤
Oliver has come so far and is such an amazing horse. Wonderful to see their close relationship❤️
What you do to Oliver is exactly what I was tought born on a farm.
With respect & love you can do amazing stuff with animals. In 5 years Oliver will be a master of whatever you put him through. Cos he trust you ❤😎
Oliver is such a good boy!
You guys have done an amazing job with him. You're a great, loving, firm, and patient trainer, and it is clearly reflected in his calm demeanor and willingness to learn and please.
He's so magnificent even tho he hasn't quite mastered standing still yet. I adore Oliver!!!❤
Oliver is doing great, I was training my Tennessee walking horse, before I got to sick, but she's got a great home cause I can't walk anymore,and they have continued her training and she looks good. And blinders aren't cruel, they are very important.
Oliver sure is a great looking Clydesdale!!! I love watching him work for you. He loves you to pieces Jr!!!! "Back" is the only one he needs to work on and he's getting it!!!!!
Oliver earned his food. He is getting better at pulling things. Go Oliver! 🎉 Not liking to stand is due to his age. He is still a baby. He will be standing without being tied up in no time. He sure is handy around the ranch. He is going to get taller and fill out nicely.
He is already doing way better since this was filmed
Oh hooray! Oliver! Love every story
Oliver is such a good boy ❤❤❤
I dont know horse training, but for a 2 years old I think he's doing great! I love him❤.
He looks so healthy and strong now and he has grown so much. You are the Horse Whispers. A huge transformation from when you first got him. I just love Oliver. He is so lucky because this could have been a tragic outcome, but Homestead family has taken him him. God Bless you and your family for the work you do.
Thank you Lord you’re not selling this magnificent Boy ❤🐴
I think Oliver is enjoying his outings to pull carts with JR. One can see his confidence growing. Get well soon, Jerry.
How blessed you and your family are to have such work to do. Having Oliver, and using him and giving him a purpose is a blessing too. God Bless you, your family and all your horses.
What a beautiful big boy he is becoming. Thank you for rescuing Oliver. You and your family are providing him with the perfect home! It warms my heart to see Oliver and the opportunity for him to be happy.
i realise it's a LOT of hard work for you all, and we only get to see a 'snapshot', but i also reckon God did you a big favour, putting that horse your way. you are privileged - that is one beautiful beast with a super lovely attitude
Oliver is such a wonderful horse he has become a really fantastic working horse , considering the conditions he came from and with more time and encouragement I am sure he will be a fantastic driving horse or a riding horse !
That was wonderful to watch. Great job Oliver.❤❤❤❤😊 Thank you, I really enjoyed that!
I hope grandpa heals up quickly, great to see Oliver pitching in to help.
Gosh... Oliver is beautiful 😍
Oliver like working, it is obvious!
What i noticed right off is that Oliver loves his CART. ❤❤
So cool to see Oliver’s aim to please. Great job working with him.
Yay, Oliver. Fast learner, good helper! Extra carrots for you tonight!
Oliver is so handsome in that harness!😍 The blinders are also for safety and protecting his eyes. Without them Oliver could hit the ditch staring at the ladies!🤣🤣💖🐎🐴💖
Trigger and Roy... I mean Oliver and JR.... :) Are growing into such a great team! Oliver's starting look grown! He's doing great with the wagon. He has such a happy trot!!
