Race Day!

[@Sam-hx2zq]

I loved watching the horses, donkeys and our beloved donkey poodle running in the pasture, it was so life affirming. Indie loves Rita, I noticed it was Rita she was mostly running with. I so love our alpaca who identifies as a donkey/pony. Trudy has a soft spot in my heart dating back to when she was little. All the animals are wonderful and I feel privileged to watch their lives and the goings on of all three properties. All of the humans involved in loving and caring for these animals are blessed as are the animals. Not forgetting Little Gary, he has my heart too.

[@karencosentino7928]

I could watch all those babies run all day long. Indy is so stinking cute with her folic bouncing. It just brings joy to my heart when they race around like that. Rita is so beautiful ( they all are beautiful) but she just catches my eye for some reason. 🦙 🐴 💝🙏

[@bettieshort]

Indy wasn’t giving up hanging right in there. 😅

[@lindataylor566]

Thank you,Lester ❤️🥰‼️

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

You’re too kind Sam! ❤

[@karenscamihorn4867]

They r so entertaining. Love to watch them

[@justinefeist1864]

Thank you, Lester 🥰 For me, there is nothing more beautiful than to see a herd of equines (and an alpaca), able to run and play, tails high, the wind in their manes, stretching their legs ❤ To be fair, I love to see a herd peacefully grazing, too 😘 I could watch them for hours. Have a lovely day, Lester 🥰🥰

[@beckyriffle9758]

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

Thank you for watching Justine.

[@bubgum00]

I LOVED seeing these beautiful animals running around and having the time of their lives. Indie tickles me with her crazy frolicking self and seeing Stormy’s tail go way high up in the air was amazing.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tannikahaulelio7925]

Watching the horses and their look-alike companions made my heart soar with joy and pride that this was our herd because that is the way you make us all feel They were all so beautiful. Did y'all see how they were holding their tails? Magnificent ❤❤❤❤

[@breezystl777]

I noticed Rita was frolicking like Indie for a second 😂😂 It's beautiful watching all of them run. Voo and Rita are so fast!! And Lester, no worries about them running around getting their zoomies out. Horses are some of the most sure-footed animals. 🐎

[@vbranco38]

Good Day Lester & Jami 🌻🌞😊 What a beautiful sight to see all the horses 🐎 racing around the pasture. I bet Jami adores watching this video. Love You all ❤️ Have a Wonderful Blessed Day 🙏💞

[@eleanormassaro5195]

I was thinking the same, that Jamie will really enjoy seeing this video!

[@joannepantale483]

Oh, for sure! All the equines (and Indie) just frolicking in the sunshine! 👍 ❤️

[@Monica-f2l]

I swear Indie is my favorite horse 🤣❤️

[@catherinefourfeathers2079]

WOWIE Lester, what a beautiful way to wake up, all the tails held high & just running with the wind, Indie has surprised me the most - becoming a full-fledged pony-alpaca member - racing each other - pure beauty - Ivy did her very best, enjoyed herself - Buckees & Voodoo are such a pair to watch communicate with each other - thank you

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

No, Thank you for watching Catherine❤

[@sherrianderson1393]

Oh what a beautiful video! Voo Doo shifting up a gear, Indie with her beautiful prance! Sure glad Ivy didnt hear you say she was too old! All the babies look so good, healthy and happy!

[@csyurchak9397]

Lester should know a man never reveals a ladies age 😊

[@rgeorge8770]

As the saying goes, you're as old as you feel, and she said i feel like I'm 15 again lol.

[@alicebongiorno928]

Good morning, Lester. I loved watching the horses, donkeys, and furry pony stretch their legs, watching them run around the pasture 😊😊

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ACSS-hv8he]

I’ve had a really terrible day and seeing this had me smiling from ear to ear. Seeing horses, ponies and the donkey poodle run like that is the ultimate expression of freedom. Dixie and Amy are looking down from heaven so happy to see their herd. Bless these animals and the humans who care for them. ❤🐎🫏🦙

[@donnamcalpin4910]

Boy seeing the horses, donkeys and alpaca running in the beginning of the video was soooo beautiful. They all seem to be getting along so well. LE does a great impression of Angel

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

It was majestic 😍

[@pjmacgirl]

What a joyful sight watching the horses, Indie and even Ivy celebrating their freedom together. They are all incredible! ❤

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

They certainly are ❤

[@cutlove100]

Such a beautiful video, I could watch the horses run like that 24/7/365. They are so healthy, happy, and simply majestic to watch. God knew what He was doing when He made the horse yes. Great video once again Lesterman, have a good weekend. Always in my prayers my friend xoxo Nancy

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

Thank you for enjoying this video as much as i did! ❤

[@vernaseace7340]

It was so nice watching the horses run around enjoying themselves after all the rain! Glad all your properties didn’t have a problem with 13 inches of rain.

[@DianeNystrom]

Watching the horses was so thrilling!! 😮❤️ I noticed Stormy and Rita doing some alpaca prancing. 😂 And when Rita holds that tail up as she runs she just looks so regal. 🥰

[@noelle1225]

Indie is hilarious! I’ve never seen an alpaca run with horses, but man, she can keep up. Thanks for showing them living their best lives. Good way to start my day.

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

Any time!

If I was a horse that’s exactly how and where I would live my best life. I absolutely loved the horses showing out. Just beautiful ❤❤❤

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

It truly was a beautiful view ❤

[@KathleenQuinn-vg2kn]

This was one of the most enjoyable (and by that I mean: joyous!) videos I have ever watched! There’s no way you can tell Rita not to run like that. She is a thoroughbred (at least in part); she was born to run. And to prance! Loved watching Indy mimic her prancing! “Oh, I can do that!” This was poetry in motion! Thank you, Lester, for making my day!

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

I’m happy to hear that!

[@sharonbreedlove3474]

This is the best video you've ever shown. I love to watch Rita run and this was beautiful watching all of them running together.

[@cecew.]

Oh my goodness so much fun! This is beautiful watching them all run and Indie prance. Thanks Lester I needed this today. ❤️❤️

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

You are so welcome!

Indies prancing , all the horses and ponies was such a beautiful moment of watching them. Thanks Lester for sharing.

[@marymurray2586]

I'm so proud of Stella. Despite her leg problems she's always right in the middle of all the activity.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Yes, she is! I love that girl!❤️🥰

[@dianehammack2188]

Morning Lester. Simply beautiful. I absolutely love watching the horses running. So free and full of life. They're all beautiful, but Rita is above and beyond. It's so effortless. Indie was having a ball. Her pronking and frolicking is so cute. And the donkeys kicking up their heels. Love it all. Pig Trudy needs some extra love from you. The flooding breaks my heart. I'm so glad you moved the RV. Those poor people. It looked like some people lived in the park. Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the sunshine.

[@mariatrimmer8314]

I could watch the horses, and donkeys and of course Indie run all day! They all look so happy and you can tell they’re having so much fun.❤

[@MarieLuvsNate]

Good Morning Lester! Watching all of the equine running and galloping around the pastures was absolutely stunning! But watching Indie galloping and frolicking along with them was sweet yet hilarious 😂😂😂 ❤❤

[@SharonEvans-bm7ih]

I rewound this video five or six times to just watch the horses run, I love it so.

[@pamelawells3572]

Beautiful to see all the horses running around with Indie!! That was a lot of flooding at that RV campground!! Have a wonderful day Lester!!❤️❤️

Thanks so much Pamela

[@christineprobst3258]

I love seeing the horses run wild and free, so beautiful. The music made it even more beautiful. Indie, oh the love of her. She is a pure bread horse Lester, come on now! ❤

[@danil3340]

There are not big enough words to express how much my heart smiled watching the horses❤❤

The horses "ect" running in the field was beautiful to watch and seeing them so happy is heart warming ❤

[@rebeccareed6824]

Good morning Lester, love seeing the babies running and playing. The horses, ponies and the donkey poodle. I love seeing how Indie is acceped as one of the gang. They are all such beautiful animals but seeing them flat out running, just does my heart good.

[@cheryl739]

Look at them go!!! How that would not bring a grin to your face and a chuckle out of your mouth, I wouldn't know. They are so Happy! Of course, we wouldn't want them to hurt themselves, but its a contagious fun. Indie is absolutely in on it all and enjoying herself and the donkeys, too. What a lift to the heart to watch them! 😅😍💕

[@teenagardner3623]

That was so fun watching all the horses. Man did voodoo take off when he joined them. Lester, I can't believe you told Ivy she's too old. Thems some fighting words to tell a lady. 🙃

She maybe old in years,but still young at ❤️ ❤

Rita is such a beautiful horse. Oh my, so beautiful. I love to see her run.

I really enjoyed this mornings video! What a treat! Even though I can go outside and watch our horses run and play, I still love watching all y'all's horses and shhh(alpaca and donkeys) running. Indie fascinates me. They are all beautiful and healthy looking 😍

[@kaseyrigsby-ferree4038]

The horses,donkeys, alpaca,tails high & running jubilantly, prancing & dancing!!! Such beauty! And your joyful laugh,Lester!!!🫠 The flooding is terribly sad! I feel so sorry for the RV parkers & owner,as well as anyone affected!!!🙏💔

[@angiegrott852]

I so much enjoy watching the horses, Indy and donkeys running frolicking and playing together in the pasture. It is so heartwarming and apparent how much they enjoy being together. You are all truly blessed to live your life with them all. I am so blessed to be able to share in a bit of their days, even from a far. This will be one of those videos I watch multiple times. Love this!!!

[@sherrydyer2553]

2:08 That’s so funny seeing Indie right in the middle staying right up with them.. I believe I seen Stormy frolicking right with Indie! 😂😂😂❤️

Stormy, Rita, Indy, Beverley, Ivy, Buc-ee, and Voodoo running are so awesome to watch! They are enjoying the weather. Prayers 🙏 for Plum Grove and Morrow Hill. ❤

Enjoyed this video a lot. ISS looks wonderful, as usual. All the animals seem so happy, and healthy. Glad the rains have stopped, hopefully the grass with pop up and look lush again. The horses, ponies and donkey poodle were delightful to watch running around. They seem to be a nice herd. Amazing how quiet those geese were. Happy, joy visit to the Sanctuary.

Oh Lester, watching all the horses, Indie & Ivy running the pasture was absolutely AMAZING...and you picked the perfect background music (as you always do)! I also loved your walk-about to give lovin's to the other babies! This video is now one of my newer faves that I know I'll be re-watching over & over again. Thanks for sharing this fun video. So glad to hear & see Jami slowly getting out & about to feed her soul...that's some of the best medicine for our sweet girl! ❤

[@Maze-MN]

The horses running together as members of a herd is encouraging. It shows they are all healthy, agreeable, and have developed their pecking order. These are all wonderful qualities to have within the herd. I love watching them running free and sassy as all equines should do, even the elders. They obviously need to burn that excess energy. It makes you wish that you could be running free and sassy as one of them. That little fuzzy member of the herd is absolute perfection. She displays the true essence of IMA Survivor Sanctuary.

[@melanielexa8885]

The horses and “ponies” were having such fun racing around. They looked so beautiful! Don’t worry so much about them running fast. They are made for that. Can’t wait for Jami to see them in person.
