What’s Next For the Horses and Donkeys?

[@dianelitten-artz8407]

I love Beverly. She has such personality. She was sent to comfort, support and heal. I will never forget the love She had for Dixie, until the very end.

[@pennybuelman5568]

I love how Beverly backs her booty up for scratches. She is quite the character. Your plans sound good.

[@lynnsmith8963]

My dog does the same thing! I always think of Beverly when I see her do it!

[@rinihudachek6093]

My thoughts exactly! Beverly is a character!!

[@Weeks25]

I love Bev ❤ she’s my favorite and then Danny boy.

[@jenniferwentland1736]

Beverly looks so much like Ima Jean, it’s kinda scary. Almost like trying to tell Santiana and Pearl apart. Your babies are blessed to have such wonderful parents like y’all.😊❤

[@carlahoward4315]

Lester looks tired! I know it’s a lot of hard work with 3 properties and I cannot imagine having a full time job too! Jami and Lester are warriors!

[@rosemarygraham2815]

And Lester is pushing 60!!! The pace he keeps is insane!!! No wonder he looks tired!!! He needs to get more rest!!❤❤❤🙌🏻

[@SarahKeane-mw6uu]

❤ LE needs to step up and help out! Living on one of the properties and saying he wants to help out. LE has been lazy..that property that he has been at has gone to hell! Farming or whatever takes work and dedication.

[@mewsicsmary]

@@SarahKeane-mw6uu I am sorry, but I don't think you have a right to say that! Have you even looked at the Sanctuary? It looks gorgeous. Lester did not do that...LE AND MEGAN DID. I usually keep to myself but you shouldn't be talking about LE like that. It's not nice at all. He is a kind and caring person and has been working very hard at that property. He has even made improvements to it. Lester nor Jami deserve your negativity. Imagine if someone was talking about your son (or family member) like you do about LE. Be kind will you? and also.... #BeAVanessa

[@iamlmc1640]

​@@rosemarygraham2815He's not quite 60 yet. And 60 isn't what 60 was 70 years ago. lol

[@patbriggs7220]

​@mewsicsmary I agree with you 100% my mom always said if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything say all. That how I live my life. I rather say positive thing then negative. I agree be nice!!!!

[@MsAutumnrain1313]

Good morning Jami...Donkey Dan, Ima Jean & Beverly are sure living the good life. Wouldn't we all want a life of just hanging out by the lake with our friends, getting snacks from Grandma Pat; and butt scratches whenever we wanted. Oh, boy!❤

[@aquariusrizing]

Topsoil restoration is a journey, but it will pay off. I think your plan is great for the horses. I'm glad Grandma Pat still has critters to spoil rotten. I was worried about her when the cows left. She really made us all see how sweet they are. She's an ambassador! Inter- species!

[@angelnolan2840]

In my opinion donkeys have more of a sense of self preservation than horses. They generally will avoid hazards, don't waste their energy in the heat and are much smarter than people give them credit for. Your plans sound good for the horses for winter as well as the pastures.

[@Weeks25]

I would agree. Donkeys are very very smart.

[@sherry8396]

Seeing Stella makes us cry seeing her hair look so amazing beautiful 😍 🤩 ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@cathyreed6180]

I believe Rita loves the JL the way Lester has caught her just laying down in the field just relaxing, I think she’s gonna pitch a fit after she gets back to the LHL.

[@Fezz1020]

I can't decide,which property is best practicable. Little rolling hills or flat fields. So much work. Bless Lester and Jamie.❤

[@marycoker99]

Good Monday morning 🙋‍♀️ 🐕 Jami, Dan, Ima Jean, and Beverly. The donkeys look so good. Beverly is like, " Mom only pet me, you know what I like ! " 🤣

[@purepoison618]

Morning Jami - If only the world could greet every morning or even just like say even, 4 days a week, with the energy and sheer happiness Christmas seems to, it would transform this world into a much happier place - maybe a little more rambunctious and high speed, lol, but in a happy way. 😊 I think the extra work from the storms of this year, plus the droughts you went through last 2 years, have been non-stop gut punches to your workloads, your systems and your psyches. You had to work harder to be able to provide to all the babies what Mother Nature was taking away because the lands were taking a beating and could no longer produce, due to lack of water and the Texan heat and then *wham* you have now been hit with savage storms and wash off flooding, that you have to somewhere find the stamina to keep working through and the land has yet to recoup from the feast or famine, from the weather that it has been dealt, as well. It’s no wonder you feel overwhelmed with all the extra’s that face you, the extra’s that are above and beyond the time needed for the regular work and chores. Who wouldn’t feel that way? I know I would!! All I can offer is, for you to remind yourself, it’s one step and one day at a time. You will get all you need and want done, but don’t be harsh with yourself that it takes a lengthy amount of time - because it will. It has taken a good 3 years of truly disastrous weather, to get you to where you stand now, and it’s going to be *work in progress* for everyone, even those we hold most special and dear, such as yourself and Lester, and the lands to heal and recoup.You are honestly doing a great job and much more than others would ever aspire to do! Hope you and all visiting your page today, have an marvelous Monday! 💕☺️ (apologies for the length!!)

[@micp1271]

Well said!

[@lindagoode1251]

May you have a lovely day too!

[@stilllearning8360]

@purepoison618 Beautiful! I hope this settled in Jami's heart! Such encouragement is a gift and blessing. Thank you for everything you write!! 🌷💙🙏 Janice

[@brendagoodspeed443]

I so agree..I am completely overwhelmed at the amount of hard work, dedication, passion & compassion that Jami & Lester put into their three properties…& Jami still having her full time employment. It just blows my mind🤯 Very few people could do what they do without crying *UNCLE*

[@stilllearning8360]

@purepoison618 Hey girl! Just checking to be sure you’re doing ok? 💓

[@robertbarger6244]

I'm ANITA: Every Animals is living their best life! Sounds like a Good Plan Jami. Luv From Tenn. God Bless Y'all and God Bless All the Animals

[@anitak_ilovepink]

My name is Anita too. I love following the Marrows!

[@IAMArlena-tm7fs]

That Beverly has such a cute personality. With all the work you have planned I sure wish you cooler weather. I look forward to seeing the progress.

[@ChristinesCreations64]

Hope all goes well. Eventually the things you need to get done will get done. You have a lot on your plate. Wishing you both lots of patience, positivity and strength.

[@deboraheubank9430]

Love those 3 donkeys!! Glad you spent some time with them on video for us to share!

[@kathydunn9011]

I suggested using the round pen for stalls when the horses AND pony first moved 🥰. Hopefully that works great and saves some money. It will all work out in the end. Your extended family has much faith in you and Lester!!💕💕💕

[@SummerSun2468]

Wow Jami, I'm guessing that 24 hrs in a day is not long enough for you and Lester to gets things done. I don't know how you and Lester ddo it. But you always fine the time to put a smile on. What awesome people you are.❤❤❤

[@meghanhoffman2829]

I love that the animals have Grandma Pat 💜💜

[@brendadodd7959]

Love all these babies!!!!

[@darlenestorer8898]

Jamie I love ❤️ your videos. Because you explain what is coming next .Rather it be working on the land or the babies , keep on doing your best. And prayers on your procedures . ❤ Darlene from Morrow County.,Ohio.

[@angellocke8473]

💖❤💘💝💓I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great evening!!!!

[@terrymueller7394]

LHL is beautiful. Praying all the hard work to come pays off. 🙏🙏

[@debbiecozortakalonghornmom1862]

Lester Is Not pushing 60 Years Old he is like 54 years old/young). 😊🤠

[@carolynwynn3206]

Hello Jami💖💖💖💖Praying your mouth surgery goes super well and praying for peace and calmness for you💖💖💖💖

[@rich7934]

Heavily suggest, before you do the barn upgrades, see if the current Dam guy can help you divert the water that is coming down the hill and flooding the barn. It might involve a small retaining wall to elevate the ground enough to make a stone lined sluce to keep the water higher on the hill until it passes the barn. Or possibly your neighbor would allow work to send it over the back side of the hill towards the river? Just an idea to explore before next fall, so grass can establish before spring.

[@lesley4215]

Chores, chores, chores. I haven't even got out of bed and started mine yet and I'm exhausted!!

[@cheryl739]

Bless you folks! You have to be running on fumes. Utilizing Ben and Uriel when they are available will be good for you folks. I pray it rains lightly off and on so Lester can get more year round seed down and the seeding that has been put down will grow as well as the sod. Cheers & Blessings 👍💕

[@HorseyGal4ever]

🤠👢💥You're kicking ass at all your properties! Gorgeous!

[@kathydunn9011]

You two are overworked but somehow you manage it! Look how happy and healthy Stella looks ❤❤❤

[@laurieswain3832]

Jami what about adding some scrubs plants flowers small trees around the run off area to help stop that flow of water or slow down the water. Maybe shrubs up near the barn also. I’m sure you gave thought of this. Have a blessed day. Also thank you for making excellent videos for us

[@MariannWarner]

The donkeys are really loving life at LHL!! They’re a happy trio there.

[@karenmiller6711]

Love that Grandma Pat has the donkeys and birds to spoil!

[@chi4ever982]

Completely agree with angelnolan2840! Donkeys or mules in a sticky situation will tend to stay calm and wait for help. Horses tend to panic and fight to get away from whatever is causing them to panic, doing themselves harm in the process.

[@Bill_Desaulniers]

That's a great idea to till the pastures.

[@beverly8900]

Love you Jami! Goodluck with your procedure this week! I'll be praying for you!

[@SusanNevells-dm4vs]

Hi Jami got to love these animals ❤ ❤ ❤

[@doriskuhberger8559]

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

[@Grammaadell]

I’ve learned a lot listening to you and Lester explaining what all you do. Fabulous.

[@marlowatts5295]

Use a rasp to brush them. I saw a Ferrier use it with great success.

[@PatriciaAReed]

Bless you both for all the hard work y'all do for the love of your babies

[@marlowatts5295]

I saw a Ferrier use a rasp to brush the horses. He said he never used a brush or curry comb. The horses looked great as it removed all the fuzzy hair. Try it.

[@merisehetherington9785]

I saw that Reel, too🐴 Amazing!

[@bonnieshelly257]

Good morning Jami sending prayers that mouth surgery goes well 🙏❤️ I will be thinking of you all day Wednesday

They are so sweet to you Jami.

[@brendadodd7959]

You and Lester are such hard workers!!!!

[@patricianorwood1075]

Those donkeys are so sweet and precious Jami. Sure hope the weather gives you a long enough break to get some of it done.

[@marshafredericksen3163]

Morning from Iowa.have a great day Jamie ❤

[@susanmadenspacher991]

6:31 Jami, for as often as you need it, you can rent (or borrow) a harrow and save yourself some bucks. Your plan is a good one. I can't wait to see the round pen at the JL Ranch to use as stalls in the barn for now. You'll be working on your horses in the shade in no time!

[@brendadodd7959]

Sweet Fireball!!

[@abbymetzel6063]

It looks like y'all have your summer pretty much planned out. I'm on vacation next week, and I'm planning my chore list. And since the east is going to feel like summer next week, I'm going to pretty much do what you guys do - work outside in the mornings, and then work on inside stuff in the afternoons. I do like your plans for when the horses return. And, Beverly just wouldn't be Beverly if she didn't back her booty up for some scratches 😂😂 Take care and have a gr-8 day 😊!

[@cheryllones2299]

What about seed mats for erosion control. My sister had a huge hill that had to be redesigned and they put down an erosion mat that has grass seed impregnated within the mat. Worked great. This was a very steep hill.

[@lorrieannhazelwood8516]

Good Monday morning Jami Lester and fur babies. Love love seeing the donkeys and watch Beverly backing up for booty scratches and hint for brushing time. They all look so so good. I do like your format plan cuz squirreling it doesn't get anything done. Have a fantastic day 😎❤❤

[@ladybug7397]

good morning Jamie I love the Donkeys and the crosses on there backs as well I Love the story on how God droped them down there backs

[@S.age._]

I love the donkeys. They are pretty smart. They are sure footed. I went on a Disney ride on donkeys. We were on a high cliff and the stepped gingerly on the trail. As a kid I loved it. Your plan sounds good I would be overwelmed also. 😮

[@margaretleboeuf6765]

Hey 👋 Jami I hope y'all can get help taking care of everything y'all have going on... Please take good care of yourselves, take breaks, eat good food regularly, drink plenty of water with added electrolytes especially during hot weather... end the working day taking advantage of the pool to cool off and relax... It will all take time. Please pace yourselves to prevent total burnout... ❤ y'all

[@meercatt]

Nice to spend some time with the donkeys. Thanks for the plan explanation too. You guys have so much on your plate. I with you had only one property to worry about. Whew makes me tired just thinking about it. ❤

[@brendadodd7959]

I love these donkey/ponies!!!

[@joannepantale483]

BIG plans! Y'all can do it - one section at a time. 👍 ❤️

[@cherichristy2838]

Some tractors you can buy tillers 5:33 for. We have one for ours. It works great for us .

[@lindapost2345]

Jami where’s your help ? That will give you less time to get finished. So much to do and please get help so you and Lester don’t kill yourself and enjoy your animals ❤️

[@aliciajones-morgan7501]

Good Morning ❤🙏🙏❤️

[@djahant]

Great plans! Love Bev. She is very demanding. LOL.

[@donnaelkins186]

❤😊❤ Jami so love your videos! The donkeys are so sweet!

[@juliasilvrants9556]

Good morning Jami and donkeys. Hope you have a good day. Just take it one project at a time

[@dehunludwig6504]

Sounds amazing hoping all works out in your favor ! 😊

[@heidiDonato]

morning jami great video you and lester are such hard workers

[@junesecrist6719]

Pelletized organic fertilizer and coir fiber sheets work better for grass establishent than chemical fertilizers that wash out and off soil. Hydromulch doesnt help much since itwashes away immediately.

[@maryloumayer5296]

You are such hard workers!!!

[@91livinginthelight]

🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

[@13juju]

Great plans, I just take one day at a time and do the best I can for that day, Jami, it will come together in time!!

[@lorettablakeman3335]

Donkey's are more sure-footed,hence the reason they use them to tote people up and down the grand canyon!

[@nancysimpson4246]

Good morning Jami &fur babies ❤ sweet Stella

[@glendasevilla6813]

Thanks for sharing Jamie. Lits if work. 😊

[@vanessamarie1582]

Gosh I love those donkeys. I often go back and forth as to which one is my favorite lol based on their personality traits but I really do love them all and they are very special ❤️

[@elizabethcox1436]

Jami it Sounds like you have some good ideas. Just think how beautiful it will be when it’s done. ❤☮️🙏

[@patriciaisabella3975]

Saw those giant boulders in the new Overflow. The worse thing for horses legs. Very da gerous when they are running especially at night and they arent use to rocks being thrre

[@sandratennant5599]

Good morning ☀️

[@dianebremer845]

Sounds like a good plan!😊❤

[@amyfitch3005]

Good morning all❤. I like your ideas, Jami! Horses and pony back at LHL for winter makes sense. Lots of work but you have the correct idea..one step at a time. Have a great day all🧡🧡🧡

❤Good video of the plans!! It’s a lot of work!😊

[@KellyWatts1302]

Great idea to use the round pen panels as stalls at J❤L Jami 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@theresauhlenhake6962]

Morning Jami. I get your vision and it seems overwhelming. One step, one day at a time. You need days to be 36 hrs long. Please don’t over do though Hang in there. I smile with Beverly and her Bootie.

[@michaelgibby5260]

If you till the dirt the rain will wash it out faster

[@Weeks25]

I was coming to look in the comments to see if anyone mentioned that.

[@merisehetherington9785]

Oh no!!

[@christinebutler5569]

Good morning Jami I see your vision and I totally agree with you. I will pray that you and Lester will be given the strength to get it all done have a blessed day 🙏🏼😊❤

[@dehunludwig6504]

Awe so sweet❤

[@cinnamonsvintagecellar9543]

Hopefully in the erosion control plans yall Remember to put gutters up on the LHL horse barn roof with a connected down spout into a French drain system that's encircling in the whole outside walls of the horse barn so that a pipe can be run out from the barns french drain system to a pipe that leads out to the pond..its the only way we can prevent erosion here in Oregon around barns an rural homes

[@bonniemoss3498]

Beverly certainly loves her Mommy. She is saying, Mommy it's to hot out and I need a beer . Love them so much.

[@brendadodd7959]

They love their Mama!!!!

[@dianev309]

Hello Jami, I wonder if you are considering a little manpower to help you with the pasture cleaning. I see you are both exhausted. You won't be able to " pay " to recover any faster from total exhaustion.....I love you both so much and want to keep you around for many more years. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@vanessadaugherty4294]

Ima Looks like she’s expecting! Jami you’re right that seed needs to be tilled into that soil so it doesn’t wash away!

[@MonicaWilddaylilies]

Jami has lots of tabs open on her “computer screen” 🤣

[@jopeoples378]

Great video Jami ❤🙏

[@louise3993]

That's right Jaime. Brighty of the Grand Canyon.😊👍

[@donnabasile829]

I just love the donkeys! Glad they have so much space and are living their best life:)

[@Jean-m2t]

I wouldn’t worry about the longer grass at LHL because if you have more rain that will help with erosion. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to cut it.

[@BrandAuroraDesignsLauraPars]

Good morning Jamie 🌻 Everyone is looking fantastic 😍. Thank you for all that you do for the babies ❤. Lots of love and big hugs 🫂🥰🌻🇨🇦

[@TharyceMorgan]

Jami, you and Lester are two of the hardest working people I have ever heard about or seen. Your properties show that very clearly, even though you've been put through the ringer when it comes to Mother Nature you two have made such wonderful work of your properties, and all those babies ❤❤❤

[@brendadodd7959]

Christmas is having fun!!!!

[@evekankam6744]

There is a lot of work like you said,the best approach is what Lester said in his Video at ISS ,pick an area or fence line and make that your project for that day. Don’t look at all of it because it will overwhelm you. Just a suggestion add clover to your grass seed around the pond,it has a good root system and will help against erosion.You two are such hard workers,people don’t realise you have a full time job and we only get to see five minutes of what Lester does all day.Thanks for sharing.
