Rescued Clydesdales First Parade!!!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

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. Imagine Oliver’s thoughts!!!!! ❤🐴❤ and now a Parade ☘️ super star ☘️🐴. Beautiful Story. Imagine how Oliver’s Spirit bursts with Happiness. Thank You Homestead Horsemanship 💁🏻‍♂️🐴💖

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 KZread 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.

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..🇬🇧💕✝️🙏👏👍🐎🇺🇸

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.

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. 🙏🤍🤩🤍🙏

    Being 75 years young,you start reflecting back on your life. One of my biggest regrets was,never owning a horse! I’d rode horses belonging to friends,even bare back.I think they are one of God’s most marvelous creatures. Thank you for caring,loving this beautiful horse.❤️

    I had a hard time watching this video. I started crying when they left the darn truck. How is it possible to love a animal so much that you have never put your hands on? 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.

    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 ❤️!

    This was super awesome. Oliver's body language was just screaming how proud he was to do a great job for you and how he was feeling that this was just what he was born to do. If this first parade is any indication you have a fine show horse, who, over time as he gets more experiences is going to win allocates. Add his rescue story to that and he may well end up famous. Someone needs to write a book about Oliver and how he got from a sickly auction horse to his first parade in such fine shape. I am sure that as the years pass, Oliver will have adventures that create a whole series of books! The proof of Oliver as not just a good carriage horse, but a parade and show horse is that given the fact he is not yet 3 and faced on this parade route all manner of things that he could not have been prepared for, from the size and noise of the crowd, flags and banners being waved, the decision of a woman to run from one side of the street to the other in front of a horse, and many other things and he acted like a horse that had been driving in parades for years. It's interesting to see that he quickly had figured out how posted stop streets and cross streets worked, the car goes by and then he can cross, but he now needs more time traveling downtown to come to understand stop lights. Tip: to get our horses desensitized to bands and their marching rhythms, and loud music in parades, because horses don't hate it, they just don't understand what it us, we would take horses we were getting ready to use in parades down to our local high school on days they had outdoor practice. Initially we would walk them around about a block or so away to let them get used to the racket, and then on subsequent visits we moved closer and closer, and eventually bringing them up to the side line area where on game day vehicles that were needed would park. During practice the gate was closed so the band was safe incase the horse was not as desensitized as we thought and acted up as the last thing we want is a panicked horse running across a practice field. Most if our horses got very used to the band quickly and after a few weeks were either unfazed and just ignored the band while a couple actually started stepping to the cadence the band kept while marching, which is pretty nice to see when actually on parade and the horse hears the drum cadence and they start moving with it. There is also no reason to back away from taking him in bigger parades as well as he handled this one. Yes, it stressed you out as it was larger than expected but Oliver proved he could adapt. I would wait a few years before taking him to something like the Macy's parade, but taking him to this one and others of thr same size would continue to be great experience for him.
