Yes. They sense you are connecting with them. So many ways to connect through our spirits and devotions. Just saying. A horse doesn't know our particular 'God'. They do know our sincerity and devotion and our promise of their well being. They sense that.

JR, as a person who does get annoyed with certain folks that talk their faith in pushy way I have to say you don't do that. I enjoyed your prayer with Olivia very much. It is an extension of your horsemanship and delivered in a soft and beautiful way. For those of us who don't subscribe to any religion, the truth and spirituality you emanate is a great way to teach the importance of the need for connection to our horses.

I am happy for those who do have a faith to sustain them. But a lifetime of pressure from others makes me wary whenever religion is mentioned. All that being said, I like JR'S approach and I think he really gets it. I love how the entire family loves and respects all the animals. It has been years since I have been near horses so it is really nice to learn things. Every video is a lesson in something. Love❤❤ to dear Oliver and peace to all!

I love quarter horses so this decision makes me sad but it’s understandable. If she goes somewhere that vlogs please let us know.

As much as I appreciate your initial plans for Olivia, when it comes to the practical realities of life, you've gotta do what's best for your family and the rest of your farm! Another Clydesdale is a lot more horse to feed and Oliver will be able to help train her, too. The only thing I wish you had time to do, is breed her, and have the potential benefit of selling two from the stock you know. It's obvious you all care deeply about all your animals, and I'm sure it's not easy to change plans this way. But, I wanna express my confidence that you're making the best decisions for all your animals' lives. Thank you for sharing with us and I hope you have complete peace about your decision and are prosperous in all you set your hands to do!!

I am SO excited for this coupling! Oliver is a sweetheart and Sioux was such a great mamma, especially when cuddling her newborn last year! My vote for a name is Homestead’s Oliver’s Twist ( calling the baby Twist ). I remember when JR told the story about how he came up with Oliver’s name and he has been a Blessing for Oliver and vice versa. The “twist” in this story would be quite ironic! Who would have known how far Oliver has come!? Oliver felt JR’s love and it gave him the will to survive and succeed❤️

Did you go to shows last summer with your horses? We saw lots of shows 2 years ago. I do understand you have to make business decisions about your farm. The foxtrotters are definitely a business but Oliver seems to be a hobby. Whatever you do, it's your decision. I do enjoy watching this channel as I have always loved horses. If people don't like your praying over the horses, they should just not watch.
