Working Around Rita and Roman

[@janicemichaloski5292]

Jami caught Rita and Roman grooming each other's necks on video it was the sweetest thing to see❤

[@donnale3372]

It was

[@marycombes9423]

Roman looks so much happier now with Rita there.

[@karen81986]

Just love Roman. Just wish Sadie would find her way home. Prayers

[@LISAB-1103]

Lester , from the 1st video of Roman coming to the J♡L to today's video. You can see the difference in Roman....❤❤ So beautiful to watch

[@rebeccasimmons3536]

I I know NOTHING about horses. But I would like to think that Rita will give him a longer life to live. I think he is happy.❤️❤️

[@meloniecane7443]

I'm just happy he has a youngster to keep him company and closenesses when he needs it. 😂😊

[@CMrsHart]

I agree…so happy for him…

[@jkjohnson3198]

Maybe it will just feel longer. But I’m sure they’ll love each other. I’m not sure sometimes if Rita is flirting or fighting.

[@valeriegray9619]

I'm sure he'll get more gray hairs lol

[@lauraamundson769]

He's got a nice retirement life and an interesting and challenging companion. Sounds good. He's Harrison Ford and she's Callista Flockhart. Bogie and Bacall!

[@dianesimard9807]

How to make German muffin horse treats? Here's what you'll need: 1 1/4 c oats (I used old fashioned oats because that's what I had on hand. I'm sure steel cut or quick oats would work fine) 3/4 c molasses 1/2 cup flour 3/4 cup ground flax seed 2 tsp cornstarch 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup water 1 medium apple (grated) 2 carrots (grated) 12 peppermints Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heavily grease mini muffin tin with corn oil. ... Mix oats, flax, corn starch & cinnamon together in large bowl. Add molasses and water and coat the oats. mix in apple and carrot. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake for about 15 minutes or until done.

[@NicoleBracken-ug3uy]

Cool maybe Jami could make some and save ypu some money

[@Amethyst_Dragon_]

You should send it to Jami she would enjoy doing that

[@jakesbel8237]

Thanks!

[@LynnBartlett-un2vp]

Yes, Thank you for poating this. homemade dog treats are,also so easy. I think even Lester could make these. You don't have to worry about prettyness when making your animal cookies or muffins.

[@finkecynthia]

Where are the 12 peppermints?

[@ILoveAmerica60]

Long term maybe evaluate your whole ranch property for strategic placement of some French Drains to divert runoff in some areas. Love your content! ❤

[@ritahubschen6426]

I love this, Rita still has her attitude with her ears back but she's good for Roman. She keeps him on his toes and he gets exercise. She's so playful and he just goes along with it. It's cute, and buddies pick on each other, it's a good match 🥰

[@jantutton8857]

You never stop improving your property. Those animals are so blessed ❤

[@marilynhunter-k7s]

Rita is one beautiful young lady and Roman is a handsome fellow. I agree with you, I think Roman is very happy and so is Rita. They’re so good for each other.❤❤

[@vickiryman547]

Tex looked like he was on a mission! Lol

[@mendi1161]

Yeah, we don’t often see Tex in an all out run. Somebody must be in heat. Ha

[@connielaws974]

I think what you did with the clay was really smart. A thin layer will dry out faster than a thick one. I think Roman is very happy. He has a friend to run with and keep him company and he gets to share some of his horsey wisdom of how you are suppose to act. You and Jamie do a great job with the animals. You guys keep the properties so pretty and well kept up , it is awesome. Prayers for Sadie and love you both.

[@karenmiller6711]

I think Roman is very happy! Oh, Rita, you are such a little spitfire.

[@debbiec4530]

Yes I do think Roman is happy. And so is Rita. This pairing is simply awesome!🤠💕🐴

[@judyzambito6476]

Rita is not a small horse but Roman makes her look so small.❤️

[@dianapendleton5717]

As a Thoroughbred owner, I chuckle every time at your amazement. You have no idea about a Thoroughbreds mind. Lol. You have to be a little crazy to ride Thoroughbreds. I love them.

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Oh yeah. Think toddler one minute and then hormone incensed teen the next! I have to chuckle as well. And yet, we love them.

[@rebeccasellers7018]

Spicier = more fun if you're prepared for it 😂❤

[@dianehammack2188]

Hi Lester. Basically, all these people demanding that you do something about the mud just caused things to be worse. I just keep seeing good pasture land disappearing. You did a really good job of fixing it up. Roman looks very happy to me. She's a handful for him, but she's worth it. Lol.

[@keeshabrooks1]

I agree with you 💯... This is when I want to be a supporter instead a Mod. I do watch how I say things now just to keep everyone at a peaceful place. I am a supporter, member and Mod. I don't even demand or call and text often. I don't understand what else can he and Jami do. Then ppl say Lester's being rude. I commend him bc I don't know how he stays as pleasant as he does. Jami too... Thank you for saying this 🫶🏼

[@peggystamper1670]

I was just worrying that Lester was gonna get his foot stuck and end up breaking a hip.

[@gingerdrake9158]

It is a little comical that the more he tries to fix land issues like this the worse it gets. He kinda did the same thing at JL south. It’ll get there eventually 😊

[@renebates8090]

I agree the more he does the more the land is getting worse its either bringing in sand or rock tearing up the land....where the grass is green it looks good...😊

[@merryroberson3737]

@@keeshabrooks1Keesha, I agree with you….sometimes we as supporters want to say something to Lester, but he seems to want to please those that point out stuff and needs to fix it! The comment above yours hit the nail on the head! Lester is just taking away pasture as he tries to please. Lester just needs to let the grass grow to help with the muck, instead of covering up more pasture. After the grass grows he can address bad spots. Sigh 😔

[@lyndalichosik424]

Leveling things out will help when it freezes. Frozen ruts are dangerous. You or the animals can twist an ankle or fall. Thank you for loving and caring for you babies. I respect that more then you know. 🌿💛🌿

[@sittathecat]

So true

[@DeannaDuron-x9x]

I love that they are getting along so well now ❤It’s so crazy how Rita looks so small next to Roman,I’m really glad they are besties now❤❤🐴🐴

[@rosemarygraham2815]

You can still see those long, sleek legs, though!❤❤❤🙌🏻

[@evekankam6744]

Hi to hello Lord Lester,I think it turned out great. I am sure Roman is happy,it’s like having a young sister who irritates you and you have to put her in her place from time to time.He has had a hard life,this is most probably the first time he has been shown loving.Thanks for sharing.

[@tonibranaman74]

Oh…. Possibility of a pond up in front part of that area!!! You all have done a wonderful thing for those two hoses! I see Rita changing her ways a bit at a time. Keeping Sadie in my prayers that she finds her way home. I just saw a post here in AZ of a dog find her way home after 14 months. Her mom and dad continue putting up flyers in all the places. So there is still hope. 🙏🏼💕

[@Sillydk-ot6dk]

I think Roman is happy. He has had a hard life, and now he is retiring with company, good food, care and love. He will enjoy the rest of his time getting what he always deserved. He is so lovable. 🥰

[@robintucci1087]

It looks better and will definitely be better for Roman and Rita.

[@dawas5862]

Rita's helping to keep Roman young and Spunky😂❤

[@lesliebiggar8143]

Is Roman happy? 🤔 I think of where he came from and where he came too. You look at Roman when he got here & look at him now! I think he is beyond happy and you can just look at him and see what a difference compassion, kindness, time, treats & LOVE can do for an animal whom had never known ANY of that. Every animal deserves all of that plus their very own Muffin Man!!!!! 😊🤗💕💕

[@Revensaw19T-z3f]

Lester - Rick puts something down around his gates and high traffic areas in his pasture. I forget what it is- some kind of composite.

[@susanmadenspacher991]

Yes, Roman, at his age, is content with his life. He has retired from a life of hard labor to a beautiful farm with good food, green pastures, companionship, and a new master who loves and respects him. Yes, he's happy! ❤

[@trudiharmon7640]

What a joy to watch Roman and Rita play and interact with each other. So happy for them both. You’ll be fine Lester as long as you have a pocketful of muffins. Great job with the tractor with clay and sand looks awesome. Have a great day. Take care and God bless 💕🙏🤠

[@donnahodges1330]

You can tell he is probably more content they he ever has been his whole life Lester he loves Rita so much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JoyceCunningham-hm3fh]

Hi to Hello Lester, what a great job you did cleaning up all the muddy ground. Roman and Rita still makes you smile, im glad they are both getting on together....xxxx ❤❤

[@theresauhlenhake3822]

Thanks yall for keeping this chat pleasant. Welcome to all the new folk and thanks for bringing here to the Old pees lol

[@hollykoch8238]

Lester, I think Roman is very happy. Yes he looks happy & healthy. Roman & Rita are living their best lives. I love how they are playing & grooming each other. I feel like they're happy & content. With full bellies.

[@keeshabrooks1]

ROMITA... Lester this was a great move. Putting those two together. I Think Rita will mature and Roman can hopefully live longer... Love BOTH... I wasn't a Rita fan and now became 1... 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@Gm-sl3fg]

I think both horses are enjoying themselves. Roman is in horse heaven. ❤

[@sherryperras6000]

Yes Roman is now living his best life and has a friend to enjoy it with I've seen first hand drafts that have come right from the Amish skin and bones can barely walk or drop dead before they have reaches their new home Thank you for giving him a wonderful home and even spitfire Rita he truly loves her even if she's a pain sometimes even though they are getting along you should still not leave the tractor there I 100% agree with Rick

[@NMGayla]

Until you have owned a property for several seasons, there are always going to be surprises…each year it seems like each season brings attention to something you didn’t think of…around the 5 season it seems like we get things figured out to minimize the adverse conditions that don’t show up every year…keep it up Lester…you only have about 4 more years to go…❤😂

[@lindarose-evans5783]

This is a playground for Roman! He is truly having the time of his life! I love watching these two. Lester, you and Jami have created a magnificent world for Roman and Rita! I love them!🙏❤️🙏

[@Jakota1957]

Roman is thinking, "THAT is how it should be done, with a tractor, not making me pull a plow". That used to be his work, and I'm sure he is glad to see the way you are doing it.

[@flowergirl3438]

Roman is now living his best life. He has the nicest daddy Lester and the best human mommy. Plus, he has Rita to keep him young at heart. You guys are wonderful parents and I love watching this farm life that you live.

[@ruthanderson1758]

I remember when you first got Roman he wasn't interested in treats at all - things sure have changed - he's definitely a treat man now as well as muffins. So glad you finally got a chance to spread out that mud/muck.

[@barbaradavis4867]

As a teacher I can promise you I had plenty of Ritas in my class & ❤❤❤!!

[@StephanieTaylor-kj2cm]

Looks like Roman’s mane is growing out ❤😊

[@jayjohnson8426]

I think his tail hair will aswell given another year yes his tail is docked but the hair will grow so his tail will still be not as long as it should be but it will grow given another year

[@cherylcawthon3097]

Rita totting across Roman she looks like a colt. Look at Tex run across that field. Man on a mission.

[@helenoneil5592]

You're doing wonderful work. You are 'The GOOD Steward' in taking care of your Jami, your children, your animals, and your properties. Well done!

[@georgiaharris1976]

Roman has companionship; someone younger to keep him young and active; Rita has someone calm and mature to teach her boundaries; they are great friends! Well done! 😊🎉❤

[@SherryHolder-g7e]

Hi to Hello Lester just love seeing Roman and Rita grooming and playing together the pasture looks much better ❤️🥰

[@tessm6440]

Hi Lester i went to watch the new bull you are getting...he looks so big. I feal for his dad getting hurt but i know you will be on alert around him. BOY THEY HAD A LOT OF GOATS.....

[@theresauhlenhake3822]

I thought the same thing there are a lot of little goats running around

[@vikkielovinsun5189]

I'm kinda scared of Chuck, he looks like a beast of burden, no comfortable bull. You can always take the "Manhood" away, but attitude is set in stone. Please be careful my friend, Vikkie from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦😮

[@diannaa7462]

I love Roman. 💚 He seems so peaceful. Such beautiful eyes.

[@brendawilliams2611]

You, dear steward of the wonderful land of the JLs, are still learning about the North ranch. I can’t understand why people won’t give you grace. I know that all will work out in then end.

[@erinc5104]

I just loved the part where R💜R were grooming and living on each other. Melt.

[@erinc5104]

I love how much pride and dedication you have towards the care of all your properties and animals. 🩵 I most definitely love the R💜R show!

[@pennybuelman5568]

Hi to hello Lester. Roman is enjoying his best life. He has good people who take care of him and love him. Good food, good company in a fiesty filly, and daily visits from the muffin man. I would bet he has never experienced such a wonderful life. Thank you for saving him and hi n the pro process giving Rita a companion, too!

[@herindoors3552]

Roman reminds me of Manny in Ice age, even has the same haircut, love those horses.

[@Kathleen49]

You are a good man Lester, pure love for your animals.

[@TBoss3313]

Roman is loving every second of his new life with Rita and you and Jami!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@tiaosi1]

You're trying to make to better for the horses and you, that's all anyone can ask! It looks a lot better than it did, and like you said, hopefully it'll be easier for it to dry out. I think both Roman and Rit are happy and living their best lives! It's beautiful to see them running around so happy!🩷🩷

[@fawngeyen4009]

I think Roman & Rita are happy!😊

[@reneduncan8174]

Top soil soaks up water where sand and clay doesn't. 💗🤗💗

[@deloreslomonaco570]

Rita is a sassy girl and Roman looks happy❤

[@aquariusrizing]

I love the heavy equipment work, Lester! Glad you're fixing that mucky spot!

[@VenitaS-js3mc]

Hi Lester! Roman seems really happy now. 😊

[@blackdiamond7708]

[@TricriForever]

I could see Roman and voo getting along well and enjoying each other’s company

[@patelk3648]

I agree ❤

[@tinaburns1666]

I think they are both happy ❤

[@barbaralavoie1045]

Hi to hello, Lester. Roman and Rita are becoming great friends.❤. They are a pretty pair.🥰 ❤

[@janelllaufs7462]

❤ I just Love Rita and Roman. They are so lovely . I am so glad they get allong. They get a bit jealous of daddies love but its all good. ❤

[@lynneboatright5610]

It is great that you know what to do in that horse pasture. ❤Rita❤

[@diannakimbro1423]

To me Roman is very happy and living his best life

[@lauriesorensen7587]

The beauty of animals they learn to relove quickly regardless of their history ( for the most part ) Roman trotting after Rita with a smile on his face pretty much says it all❤

[@KaranDunsten]

Hi to hellow lester sending love to all form the UK x ❤

[@annieherendeen4276]

I think Roman is happy to have Rita’s company. I also think Rita has learned some manners from Roman. Together they will continue to grow and I’m excited to see it.

[@jayjohnson8426]

Roman is happy you can see he is more relaxed then before rita got there

[@BilliePennyH]

I think you did great with the tractor and the pasture is looking better, Roman and Rita is a good thing in my opinion, they seem to enjoy each other’s company. ❤

[@Julie-mq4nh]

I love how Roman keeps Rita in line ❤

[@mollydee4450]

Your a very hard worker Lester. And I'm glad Roman and Rita likes each other. ❤❤

[@traceysouders9840]

Lester I don’t think you need to worry about Roman being happy. Just look at what he came from to what he has now. He is living a dream life. He was probably thinking he would normally be pulling that plow and now he doesn’t have to do that anymore. He can watch that big machine do it for him. I love that big boy.

[@elainemagee5503]

Looks much better Lester!!! ❤

[@marciaborg77]

Yes it looks wonderful Lester

[@susaninnes2047]

Awe looks like rita is playing with roman too cute plus the grooming priceless..❤❤❤❤

[@teenagardner3623]

I'm catching up here. Lester, thank you for caring and sharing the work you did to clean out/ level the muck when you were able to. All will get better when weather permits. Meanwhile, R&R are happy that they are well cared for.

[@phyllisblanton9061]

Beautiful ❤️ Maybe invest in one of those Iron Rollers to Compress the Clay😊 after Dragging 😊

[@dst1667]

Been waiting all day to see R&R. I think they're both happy and go lucky❤❤

[@NelsonMartinez-z7w]

Anyone see Tex running back in the video when Rita and Roman standing there. Tex running happy n proud. Lol he's running with a purpose

[@beverleywhiteaker355]

Hi Lester so glad Roman and Rita are getting along hope you get muck problem works out

[@lorriekushniruk1811]

I think that that's the happiest he's ever had to work!! 💌💌

[@vickiliulama7404]

Hey u could just build a pond right there with an overflow creek in front of the RV that includes the truck as a water feature that could flow down into the dry creek,easy peasy!

[@vikkielovinsun5189]

Would take some professional help for plans. Lester will be the foreman, workers and lunch lady all rolled into one.😊

[@kellydiamond7250]

I reckon that Rita is great company for Roam…he deserves every happiness and blessing and he looks content Lester…she’s such a cheeky filly😂..I love to watch them..he’s letting her be herself and I think he’s so enjoying his retirement 😅..he’s like “girl,get it out of your system..I’ll just chill here and watch your back…love this…thanks Lester

[@edensgarden1775]

Hi Lester. Roman lets Rita share out of the same feeder now. Roman seems very happy. Rita is back to being a spitfire lol. The ground looks good. Omgosh Tex is hauling ass lol!!!

[@lynnettebroussard2839]

You do all you can for the animals. You truly care and love them.

[@karenbarnes5517]

Great job Lester! Your pastures are so green with great grass

[@blkmjcwmn61]

Roman looks SO, SO HAPPY to me. And he LOVES him some Daddy too!❤

[@janehuff7494]

Loved this video. Good job on the muck situation, Lester. I could watch Rita and Roman all day but have to say, seeing my man Tex video- bombing just made my day.❤

[@veraledbetter1916]

Your doing a great job Lester thank you for loving the babies ❤❤❤❤

[@theresauhlenhake3822]

Looks good Lester. Yes I think Roman is happy He was looking for a snack though

[@terryclark8209]

You are awsome LESTER

[@theseamstress6315]

You did good and I’m glad those two are getting along , they are jealous and want you all to their selves ❤ Cute

[@VermontGrammy]

They love ❤ each other.

[@lookingup5172]

Loved this video, Lester! Yeah - you keep dragging or fixing or filling - whatever you need to do … I just love seeing these two beautiful horses! Tex video-bombing towards the end was great! Appreciate you and the videos you share so much! 💕

[@tiffanytupper8983]

Thank you two for making Roman and Rita happy!😅🕯🧡💜🧡

[@maxgarcia9147]

You know that they sell a hardener for the clay. It’s actually for ponds to hold water. My nephew dug out an area of his ranch and spread that powder before it rained and it holds water, but of course he did several times to get it right. I don’t know what it’s called.
