Roman and Rita: the day after LIVE

[@cathylwood8236]

Lester, I think Rita is behaving like a young horse. They get excited when you come because they know that they're getting treats, food, and love. Don't worry so much about every little thing that Rita does. She's young & full of fire.❤

[@kellyjo5972]

I agree. I think she was just happy to see Lester. But it can be scary. She bowed to Roman and that's good, but sweet Rita, being Rita, is still gonna give him a love tap😂

[@janaledford1985]

My hooves need moisture too😂

[@rosierooney4307]

I totally agree, Rita has so much more energy than Roman and she gets excited for treats and food, Roman is great at teaching her how to behave ❤

[@rachellaplante3888]

Lester, I love how caring you are towards your animals. Rita and Roman are exquisite animals. I don’t know what my life would be without you. I so look forward to all your videos and can’t understand why people dislike you. I will always be supportive of you and Jami. I wish I lived closer (i live in Maine) I would offer to help clean around your properties. I’ve always loved animals. They are forgiving creatures and if you show them love, you get double back! I don’t often comment Lester, but just know I ALWAYS watch your videos. Keep up all your good work, and don’t let negative people get you down. I’m sending you all the love and possible best wishes I’m allowed to send. The man upstairs will NEVER give you more than you can handle. 💕🙏🏼💕💕🙏🏼❤️❤️💕🙏🏼

[@8cattt2]

I agree with you💖

[@debbiec4530]

Gee I so agree with all you said. I often wish I could help do chores for them too. Would be awesome. But I live in Arizona and I’m almost 68. lol! 🤠💕🐴

[@elizabethwilson2277]

With His help!!!

[@rebeccadougherty5200]

I 100% agree Rachell

[@traceyboyer8839]

I think we all love Lester we just don’t always agree with him. But most of us will always love and support him!

[@heatherscott7327]

It's nice to see Roman with energy jumping and running

[@VirginiaMowry]

😅

[@kimmahu6868]

Don’t be so excited they feed off your energy. If your calm so are they.

[@danielle8231]

Lester just a suggestion. Perhaps putting some loose springs on the gate that will close the gate behind you (not secured shut, but not an open gate to welcome them from walking out) may save you some time. Then when you're done feeding up, you can secure/lock the gates shut.

[@carollazarr3004]

A spring on the gate sounds like a good idea.

[@joannejacques6135]

Roman has a John Wayne swagger

[@joannepantale483]

😅

[@susanblack7782]

Yes, saw the Rick video. Glad you had him critique.

[@cynthiaburton2136]

I love it Rita is learning

[@patbowton6806]

It’s good to see Rita yielding to Roman

[@MichelleBralley]

Always a pleasure! So excited for Rita and Roman❤

[@barbarastrait2343]

H2H Lester. Love seeing all the animals. Roman and Rita are a joy to watch. Blessings to all of you 💜🙏

[@PatEtters]

Lester, creating a "stand pipe" would help drain the water out of the pasture. Dig a ditch about 3 1/2 ft deep from the area to be drained, out to a LOWER level, then fill the ditch with gravel and then soil & grass on the top. It will drain by gravity. We had to do that in our back yard, where there was a lot of clay, and it worked like a dream (farmer's trick in PA). I love to watch Roman and Rita. I love that Rita is high spirited. I wouldn't want to spank it out of her either. She will improve with regular workouts and age. I think that Roman's controlled temperment will help her learn too.

[@bonniefuhr4106]

Roman & Rita are beautiful Souls!!! They are full of unconditional LOVE!!!!!!!

[@robinmacsinka7274]

Rita rolling is a good sign

[@Allengo2]

I love seeing some Roman and Rita

[@MichelleBralley]

Always enjoy watching! Lester I think you are doing great with Roman and Rita.

[@bettyfreeman9253]

Lester I love all the information you give us. Edcustainment!

[@roxanesimpson2126]

I don't care what you do you and Jami always can put me in a good mood and make me laugh

[@nancyhebert9042]

Rita is a girl who loves life at full speed 😂

[@bethk8086]

I love that Rita has a lot of spirit. It's refreshing to see.

[@susanwaldron6831]

Lester I'm not a farm girl but I know happiness when I see it. Rita is excited because her daddy Lester is here. It's not just because you're bringing food either. Rita loves you so much and she loves spending time with you. ❤︎

[@herindoors3552]

Thank you Lester, I just love watching all the way from the UK, my daily dose of goodness.

[@pepper405o9]

Lester, Rita is so happy, healthy and loving her best life. They love seeing you come spend time to feed, love and give treats, they Run to be with you. ❤

[@DebbieWood-bb6kh]

It’s normal for horses to roll. The man parts is called the sheath. You have to clean the sheath a couple of times a year to keep the stones out. I love y’all Lester and Jami.

[@DebbieWood-bb6kh]

Yes kids at Walmart acting out need the board of education applied to the seat of understanding.

[@tina-DA10]

Lester has done that before on video a couple of years ago, 🤢

[@hoosierstate5580]

When the vet comes back out, have her check his eye out please. I watch another channel that's in Amarillo, The big hoof foundation, she rescue alot of Belgians, quit a few have came with eye issues. If caught early it's easier to treat. Thanks for letting us love your babies too.

[@carolzippel5021]

They are prone to cancer in the eye. If caught early it is treatable.

[@AmyisGabby]

Hi to hello, Lester! When you mentioned Roman's eye it reminded me that Belgian draft horses are more at risk for eye problems than other horses. They are prone to cataracts, Ocular Squamus Cell Carcinoma (an eye cancer), and blindness. The earlier an issue is detected, the better the outcome usually. You may want to mention it to Dr. Cochran the next time she checks on him, just to make sure he doesn't have something going on with his eye. It could just be an old scar or it may be something that could be treated early to minimize an issue. I only say this because I have seen alot of blind Belgians go through auctions and rescues. Roman and Rita seem to be doing so well together. I think they are both going to make each other a better horse. Rita is learning respect and calming down a little and I think Rita may be able to teach Roman about trust, she also keeps him moving and provides him with a companion.

[@kathyschmidt6917]

Lester I have been with you since the beginning. All the ups and downs and in betweens. I love hearing you laugh and being real. Christmas was especially special to me this year watching the whole family be together. ☺️I feel a part of all. I watch all the family members and their channels. You taught each one of them how to become successful in the fb and KZbin world. I love Jamie and how you love her and she loves you. I guess I just wanted to end this year saying thank you!!! I’m disabled and living life through you has made me feel alive again 😊. Roman and Rita has been my new beginning. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Love you and Jamie. Mrs Kathy

[@trudiharmon7640]

Just so glad you have your side by side to get around especially after all that rain. Loving this partnership Roman and Rita. So interesting to watch. Love them Both so much. Strange how much you care when you’ve not even met. Nits the way you and Jami share there stories and lives with us. Much brighter day for it. Have an awesome day take care much love God bless. 🙏💕🤠

[@daniellehoward7064]

Rita is absolutely FINE 😊❤

[@Abbey-pb6fd]

You absolutely made the right choice to bring Roman and Rita together. Roman making a run to open gate saying dad I need some me time so just put me in the red barn for an hour or so and I’ll be good 😂 I love it when you go live even though I always miss the mornings and lunch lives because I live in “Australia Mate” 😂 I don’t talk like that haha but I always watch the replays ❤

[@pawsedclaws]

Roman is teaching Rita manners. She will relax more once she learns her place in the herd.

[@CharmayneHouston]

Lester the horses love to roll in sand we use to put a pile in the pasture for them to roll in. And you can put more in there stalls after you muck them for awhile. Love you and Jamie and the baby's. Even Tex the big baby.

[@LindaGreene-n9m]

I love watching Roman and Rita

[@vickibwarren9722]

Me too ❤🎉

[@charlotteroe5959]

All horses roll ,she scratching herself on the hay ,all your cows do it ,especially Tex. They get so excited to see you bringing hay ,not to eat ,but to scratch

[@donnaburnerslone]

Rita has the zoomies 😂

[@patriciamoore8758]

I liked the way Roman walked over and stood between you and Rita when she acted up.

[@beverlydorn9498]

Lester, you might try using a less than excited voice. Horses are similar to dogs, they will act to match your personality. You will be surprised how calm they can be if you remain calm. An excited voice to horses can mean chaos & undisciplined & not being the leader. Just try it, it might take a few times.

[@susanblack7782]

I think Rita’s a normal, high strung warm-blood. I love her spunk and vinegar, lol!

[@Nadia..J]

💯

[@beverlyspringer5368]

Yes, I love for who you are! Your “Lesterisms” have grown me over the 4-5 years that I’ve been watching you. You were living in the barndominion I believe when I first started watching after seeing the coming home after Harvey video that had been posted a year or 2 before.

[@carmalettacompton3657]

Roman's trust in you with his eye was powerful

[@vanessaramos3195]

I love horses but know nothing about them other than what I have learned watching yall. I do enjoy all your videos and makes me smile. I been going through a rough patch in life so i definitely look forward to all the videos. They definitely make my day. Thank you so much for allowing us a glimpse into your chaos 😂❤

[@etoth1173]

Lester's commentary on Rita's "itches" had me cracking up!! 😂 I really enjoyed hearing the frogs, I live in Michigan and won't hear that for several months lol. Love the R&R show!!❤

[@lindas6294]

Hello from Livonia...

[@joannepantale483]

Hi from Marcellus! 👋🏼

[@11chewee11]

Yep, I sure did ask about Romans beans on the live 🤦‍♀ I am so proud of you two & Love you so much ❤❤❤

[@sharonzz3840]

😂 Roman calmer, man. I don't think he could be any more calmer than he is 😂 xx

[@annettehorning3350]

Rita s changing right before our eyes 😊. So happy he’s been rescued by you all. ❤What a story he could tell 😢

[@christinedoss9867]

Rita is a femaie😂

[@jantaylor3788]

Rita is still just a baby and full of energy and trying to burn it off! Roman is a senior gentleman

[@christinekislauskis5144]

I think Roman and Rita would love some equine scratching posts especially where they don't have trees to rub up against. I know the pasture has fences but it's lined with bobbed wire. ❤🐴

[@pattyholbert8547]

Lester, I rarely comment simply because when I even look at the comments, I get upset. I have FULL confidence you will research & do your best for the animals.

[@sharonkjensmo6691]

I had a boss who ran a prison halfway house. He, also, raised his two children almost alone. When they were at the store and the children misbehaved, he would leave all the groceries and take the children home without the things they wanted. His children got the point without any spanking, yelling or public displays of frustration.

[@josmiddy5656]

My Dad is 96 and is as laid back about life as Roman is and in a mad way he reminds me of him and his wisdom of life, he will teach Rita well ❤

[@debroahmoser5802]

I am now getting all of your videos caught tonight!! I have been busy last couple of days!!

[@ImaSurvivorSanctuary]

Sounds like a busy couple of days! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyfarmer4224]

LesterThank you for taking us along today for feed up with Roman and Rita❤😊

[@catherinecaluian6262]

They need space to work it out , good job moving out equipment where they feed , so lots of room when Roman is using pressure, she will have space to move and release

[@virginiacurrey2019]

I wear Crocks too.. comfortable. Horses so glad to see you. ETX having lots of rain also. You take such good care of the horses. Jami loves horses. Hoping we all get few days of sunshine. Rita is just a young filly. Roman calms her down.

[@karenb136]

I love seeing Roman and Rita. I think they are good for each other. Also it was fun driving through the mud.😁

[@margalena0828]

Milestone! Roman’s not afraid of the side-by-side now!

[@gilliansilvester5596]

I have loved Rita since the day she was found at your gate at ISS, she's so beautiful, I am positive she has a bit of wild horse and Race horse in her. And her colour is changing so much. 😂❤

[@cindykesler1152]

I honestly believe that Rita is what Roman needs! Thank you Jami Lester for FOLLOWING your way of CARING 🐴🐎

[@marciathom6708]

I’m glad you finally have someone you respect. Many of us have told you the same thing.

[@donnagriffin7923]

Busy busy feedings but so ent😢. Always love watching all your videos.

[@KayBayard]

We love you Lester ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@doriskuhberger8559]

Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers always. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘

[@kathleenserrano928]

I love that you reached out to your neighbor with an offer to purchase the 3 horses and get them to Kourtney and Ashley, I hope he takes you up on your offer as they need to get some vet care and human contact. I love the Rita and Roman show ! You have that telescoping flag thing that you should be carrying with you when going in their pasture and break it out and snap that flag at her !

[@foxglovepearls]

It looks like Rita put some life and happiness back into Roman!

[@patbowton6806]

I would be happy to donate to a Roman and Rita stall!!!

[@joannepantale483]

Ditto! 😊

[@patelk3648]

Rick is right as usual.....reading animals is an amazing insight not many are gifted with.Its the ability to leave your personal mindset and enter theirs. Rita is often just excited (like a child)....not so much naughty. When a horse gets down....rolls and gets right up...thats fine....colic keeps them down....unsaddle a horse after a ride and they roll from pleasure.

[@dawnjansvanwagner5769]

We DO love you for who are Lester ❤️

[@luahendrickson6276]

Suggestion: run the water hose on the outside of the fence up to across from the water tank. As it is now, the horses are walking on it which will make holes in it.

[@joannepantale483]

Exactly 💯

[@jessicamills7182]

I Love watching them I think this is so Good for Rita.

[@sherrypetet1583]

Omg please be careful I would rear hate if something happens to you or Jaime I love your videos so !such it makes me happy to see u and the animals excpecally after the holidays when I'm more depressed than ever. Thx again love u guys

[@FreeDustSpirits]

I watched Rick and had a good laugh about seatbelt and Sadie’s tail 😂😂😂 I subscribed to his channel , he said a lot of good stuff and was so positive about Rita , Roman and you Lester ❤ I’m not a horse person ( I love horses ) , I like to learn tho so thank you I can now understand them horsies better.

[@MonaBullied]

Roman takes it so well

[@joannepantale483]

Thanks!

[@jopeoples378]

Hi to hello from Tennessee ❤🙏 I hope it dries up soon 😍

[@conniereynolds8577]

Lester I love watching Rita and Roman! Rita's running around might be for exercise but no matter the reason I love watching her 💜

[@lisabrown4507]

You bring excitement. Rita’s all about that. Young and full of energy.

[@lillianzybarra6405]

Another great video ❤

[@staceyahola4926]

Love you, Lester… Put your grain feeders and your hay feeders on the fence so you can feed from outside the fence simple simple get her done🤣

[@madeeparisi3543]

Hey Lester... You need to put a stone down over in the water paths and where it stands and keep adding stone by size...small to start and end with a larger round stone so it's smoother to their hooves. That'll help with the standing water... good luck 😁☺️🐎🐎

[@denisemccutcheon9993]

Love the background sounds ❤

[@JoyceCunningham-hm3fh]

I loved this video Lester, i feel you are getting more confidence around Roman and Rita...have a great day today...xxxx ❤❤

[@kathyangell9122]

Rita seems to be loving life, and Roman has a purpose

[@psychically7682]

Hey Lester xx you are doing an amazing job making all your babies so happy x with Roman and Rita x after the green hay has been put over the other side of the fence you could drive right up near the food troughs and pour feed in from side by side x just a suggestion xxx we all love you guys xxx

[@redhearta5233]

I happy to see the 2are finally together. You and Jamie do a great job with all the animals.

[@janaledford1985]

I just smile most of the time. Found you when I fractured my arm and I still watch. Still not healed.

[@jillperdue1061]

I read her idea too and thought it was a wonderful idea too.

[@DeeSchwartz-um9dk]

Happy new year to roman and Rita show

[@meloniecane7443]

Look at Roman put her in her place ... He is so good for her. Just keep going .... Making a pattern will help so much ....

[@debramcbride6711]

Those German Muffin treats are great for giving horses their pills. The muffins are soft so you can smoosh them around the pills. My horse needs a daily pill for his Cushing disease and loves theses treats. Make sure to keep them sealed up so that they soft if you’re using them for meds. ❤

[@DelindaRussell-wt8ml]

❤watching the replay ❤

[@aleciajanczak8595]

I remember you doing sheath cleaning at ISS. I think I recall you trying to teach Jami and she had a hard time. No way I could. Thank goodness Courtney can!!!

[@lauriesorensen7587]

I love your humour. A young horse with spirit I’m sure is going to buck and run. Anyone who has any animals feeling not brutalized will be able to show their comfortable reactions/ emotions. I was talking with a girl at work: between us we’ve had many different dog breeds. We had Siberian Huskies in common. Of all breeds; including her having a wolf x, the Huskies were the only ones that were so awful with food they couldn’t be left to free feed on kibble. Animals and food is always a learning experience.

[@biggun7960]

That was a great idea 💡 👏 They just are SO excited. I got you crunchies comment 😅😊❤❤

[@jenniferfowler4011]

A suggestion, we had a very “energetic” 2 year old that did something like what Rita is doing at feed time. We would halter and tie him to the fence, just away from the feed area. Once all the feed was out we would walk him over and stand with him until he was calmer. Then take the halter off. Yes, he was allowed to eat while he calmed. We had 6 horse so this is how we keep everyone safe. Not an expert it’s just something we did. We always just thought he was in his terrible 2’s. He calmed down eventually. Every horse is different so what works for one will not necessarily work for another. This also taught him we were in control not him. His name was Sonny, a beautiful Palomino.

[@jenniferfowler4011]

Oh, and I agree with you Lester. Rita doesn’t need a spanking. It’s just her personality and she’s young.

[@PLB1962]

Good evening Lester, might I add a little bit of a suggestion to go along with the other one that you are trying by giving them the snacks and Hay by the fence. Maybe before you go to the fence maybe fix the gate so that you can push it open as you drive through it and maybe it won't take as long to get the food and the rest of the Hay put in their troughs and you don't have to worry about getting kicked by one of them.. like I said it is just a suggestion to add to the other one... GREAT videos today as always I love them all.. All.... Have a Great Day Lester and I hope Jami, is having a ton of fun with her family members and making lots of memories.... Miss her Beautiful face....

[@christinabelfiore9011]

‘Crunchies 😂😂😂😂😂 Lester I’ve always thought you should start feeding them away from the gate further out in the pasture along the fence. Especially after the heavy rains til the ground could dry a bit more along the gate area. I know they love the green hay but I think they have caught onto the filling of grains in the coliseum. Maybe for a while hang some feed buckets on the fence or some feed bowls and pour out some along the fence/ driveway with the greens til they realize maybe the Coliseum isn’t the feed up space for a bit. They are still competing with one another cause it’s only been about a week together. They are doing awesome together. You and Jami made the Right choice for both of them I think❤️

[@rhondag8128]

When shopping with my young ones, I made it understood that I shopped first and if they were good we let them shop for a toy before checkout but if they weren’t we just bypassed the toy section, I think all the children experienced the dilemma of no toys at least once before they learned how to act right when shopping.

[@lisettethibodeau219]

Be safe, Lester ❤❤❤❤

[@connieohara7301]

Oh Lester they love ❤ you so much. Look at them running to you

[@heatherscott7327]

Love Rita and Roman ❤

[@user-nd1we3pc6v]

I think your new feeding process today was great!
