    I can’t do horse auctions. They tend to break my heart. I run a horse rescue so I frequently get calls to come and rescue horses from these places. I send my husband or my brother to see what can be done. You’re right about the eyes, you can always tell where a horses head is at or how they’re feeling by looking into their eyes.

      Just in case you don't already know, JR was able to buy that Clydesdale after all, partly because veiwers sent him money and begged him to find him. The horse was nearly dead by the time JR got there to rescue him. Several others around him did die! But JR paid the $5000 they were asking, and a whole lot more, thousands more in vet bills and special medication for EPM, which crippled the horse so badly he could almost not even walk, and high quality feed to help him gain weight.
      They named him Oliver, and he has gained nearly 1000 pounds now! He's so healthy and happy! He's loved so much, and he knows it. It's one of the few stories we see with a really happy ending. If you haven't already seen the later videos on him, Homestead Horsemanship's channel has a playlist just for Oliver, where you can follow his story. It's so heartwarming!
      This channel and the channel of their friend Shae, at Free Spirit Equestrian, are my 2 favorites. When I have my morning coffee I always look for them. No matter how miserable I am in the morning, the positive vibes from them always cheer up, so I can face the day!
      If you already know the stuff about Oliver, I'm sorry. I just thought in case you didn't already know I should tell you, because you mentioned it. You seem like a caring person. All the best you, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

      And in the "short" video where Ariel actually jumped over a jump that had been left in the set up position! Sure it was a low jump, but she did it just for fun, not because she was asked. She just jumped it out of the blue! It was so spectacular to see!

    Starting Clydies under saddle is so much fun. And yes he is so far under weight its not funny - I reckon he'd want a nice balanced feed with vitamins and minerals, plenty of good quality grass hay if no access to good pasture .... I cant believe that some folk go 'oh I have to feed them everything NOW' then wonder why they founder them :/ lol
    That pony stud you found that you had a feel to make sure was a boy was probably hoping you were going to take him to dinner first! lol
    Well done on the mini belted gallway bull - and hes red!!!!!! Out here in Australia that would be so rare. Belted ones here are black generally be they little or big.

      @@merrelthorson2224 AWESOME that's great to hear! Clearly I've just not come across one yet. I love colour genetics - my chosen breed of horse is the Cleveland Bay, so most have come out Bay, however have had Liver chestnuts that went grey as mum had chestnut and grey dad had chestnut in too and threw that beside being a biiiig bay boofer himself.
      The odd Chestnut from two bay parents or one bay and one chestnut parent when dad threw his copy of chestnut.
      A smokey black from a bay mum, a perlino dad.
      Same mare threw a black to a black tobiano with not an ounce of white.
      Could go on.... And my Grandfather (RIP) bred pigs for showing, selling and eating...and got a variety of colours and patterns too.
      Question re the cattle: with the horses, you can go Tobiano to about anything, but Overo can go to solid, Tobiano, Max White Sabino or Generic Sabino - socks, stockings, clydie like markings etc... But Overo to Overo is an25% chance of a lethal white which will have to be pts shortly after birth when it's decided it is a LW. Don't even get me started on Roans...

They are the largest puppy mill producers in the USA, they’re abusive to animals-horses especially. There was a retirement farm for draft near my farm & the horse there were mostly Amish drafts rescued off slaughter trucks. They’re almost always blind in one eye. If they’re blind in the right eye, they’re the right side of the hitch. Left eye blindness, left hitch. Because the Amish CANE DRIVE them by striking the horse on the side of the face to steer them. The Amish think we’re foolish to put so much love, care & attention into our animals. They are nothing but service animals to them. And when the service has come to its end, either the breeding dogs are shot, or the horses are slaughtered. No remorse.

A dream horse of mine & as a former equine nutritionist, I would say he was 600lbs underweight & was sorely in need of minerals & vitamins for structure & hooves. I hope someone finds him & gives him a good home-SOON. Before he dies.

In the last year he has gained nearly 1000 pounds! Check out their playlist for Oliver to get the whole story.

    Absolutely infuriating that the poor Clydesdale is returning to a life of neglect I wish you would have had the opportunity to save that beautiful animal physically and emotionally. You could see by his stance when you first found him he looked broken inside and desperately needed the right people to come along and save him from his previous owner. Let’s hope that he may come to auction again or maybe keep your eyes out in the local media because he may come up for private sale and you might be able to make a lower offer if his owner becomes keen to sell him .

  • @ladychiere
    @ladychiere ปีที่แล้ว +26

    For those worried about the Clyde colt, maybe this can help you not be too worried;
    One reason the Clyde colt was a tad on the thin side could be because there’s some research that shows fast growing plump babies can suffer joint issues such as osteochondrosis dessicans and epiphysitis. There seems to be some genetic relevance as it seems to run in bloodlines, (in many breeds,) but scientists are far from finding the key genes. Couple that with a recent growth spurt (his rump and withers seem on an even level; he’s not currently butt high like most 20 month olds are,)(and not the last growth spurt; he’s got a few more years of them,) and toss a bit of dehydration on top of it all, (because apparently other places’ water is Actually Poison and I refuse to try it,) and you have a few good reasons to not think he’s being neglected. IE, to not worry that he’s going back into a neglectful situation.
    Our vet wanted to see a hint of ribs on our foals until they were 2 yrs old. Granted, she also wanted them to have frisky trots, bright eyes, glossy coats, and nosey personalities. All signs of good health. And which I didn’t see on the Clyde colt. But It drove non-breeders crazy as they had no idea. Fat horse = healthy horse right? No, fat horse = healthy farrier and vet bills.
    Anyway, my question was, if the owner no saled him because he felt the colt was worth more, did he have the colt’s genetic disease panels done? A large percentage of drafts can have PSSM, which would be bad. Before buying a horse make sure!

    • @kimberleyjanemcnab5343
      @kimberleyjanemcnab5343 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Glad you said this. Most people don’t understand that bigger horses tend to be on the thin side until fully grown as the calories are used up in growth rather than fattening. A slightly ribbed colt is a good thing in some breeds and over fattening can be the cause of laminitis.
      To me rather than looking sad he actually looked like he was board and dozing. Just like my big boy does at home!
