I’ve been watching the channel since before baby Shirley and Huck We’re climbing on the Jeep while you and Jamie were having coffee on the pouch. And I’ve had a lot of babies that were my favorite, I love them all, like Laverne, Lenny. BUT this guy is my new absolute fave. The way he just looks the camera. He stares right into your soul. I love him.❤
@@longhornlesters Lester if he was from the Amish I'm sure he knows all of his commands such as back whoa and I also noticed when you put you hand to his chest he was going to back up so when he gets in your space put your hand on his chest and say back if he does he definitely knows his command's. And I also noticed when he was running to you and you said whoa he definitely stopped running as soon as you commanded it.
@longhornlesters who's Roman !?!??? Haven't seen longhornlester making any live today!? And Lester all Belgian draft horses are that big ! If he is healthy you can definitely ride him Lester. That is the most kind calm horses I've ever met . Don't be afraid Lester you can see his demeanor if you look at his ears , there are no pinned ears on him.
Many years ago, a draft horse saved my Mums’s life when she was a young girl. Mum lived on a farm and they had a heard of dairy cows and an enormous draft horse. One day my Mum was knocked down by an aggressive cow, and very quickly the cows started milling around her getting more agitated. This big old horse came and stood over my Mum nipping and kicking at the cows that came too close until they were far enough away that Mum could regain her footing. He then walked with her until she was safely out of the gate. He was gentle, protective and smart. I’ve always loved the big draft horses.
I remember when Carl was new to the rescue and you counted the number of times you said 'Carl' in one video. I think we need to count the number of times you say 'He is so BIG!!'. 😂 Don't forget Lester, size isnt everything! 😊😅😂
He doesn't know his size like Moo and psst he can sense your fear, which isn't the same as caution, you can probably move him with your hand, Amish are hard people and care isn't great they are tools. One thing for sure you'd fit on him no problem 😂
@@rondamullins8927 I have seen a video where the horse plays with the dog as they both chase a beach ball for an hour! Roman does not seem afraid of Sadie so they may be friends!
Work horse give the best rides. They are THE smoothest ride you will ever have. Dont need a saddle either as their backs are wide and comfy. Good luck getting on lol
I can just imagine his former owner smiling down from heaven and happy for his horse. Thank you to the lady who sent him to you. Thank you for taking him in. ❤️❤️💕💕💕🥰🥰💗💗
She’s probably welcoming him and introducing herself. Shes also probably wondering if shes going to protect him or the other way around😂 I think they like each other🥰
Don't worry he doesn't need a job. He seems to be very happy to just be relaxing. Being a pasture pet, mowing the grass and looking cute can be his job. You can always add some things later. He needs time to decompress. Love him 😍
Watching replay. Lester, I just love your ridiculousness. Horses and dogs have a long history of talking to each other. Sadie was welcoming him to his forever family. Though his size, she's not afraid or nervous, neither should you be. Before his previous owner, I would almost bet he was broken and did work very hard because his size and work he did. He by nature is a gentle giant.
He might be your new side kick! I think you could eventually put a saddle on him and ride around checking on the longhorns. That would be a sight!! Roman is beautiful.
He is starved for love if he came from the Amish. Work is all he has ever known. I have many Amish neighbors and they work their animals pretty hard. I am sure he is gentle I have witnessed the little Amish children with the draft horses and they are hooked up to the wagons, plows etc by the kids. Try not to be afraid of him because I don’t think he’s going to be a problem. He will probably love Sadie too. The Amish almost always have a dog when they are in the field or going between fields. He is going to be fine with all the love you and Jami have for him ❤
I agree draught horses are mostly gentle if treated gentle being a herd animal he is looking for friends maybe try floating his teeth and get a farrier to look at his feet I would love to ride him
Its also been my experience, amish treat them as tools, not pets.. some treat them worse than others,like anywhere else. i pray Roman has had a good life, and hope he has 10 years of luxery and fun with Lester and Jami.❤
I can just imagine his former owner smiling down from heaven and happy for his horse. Thank you to the lady who sent him to you. Thank you for taking him in. ❤️❤️💕💕💕🥰🥰💗💗 and he has a mustache!!!❤️❤️❤️
can you imagine the amount of training he’s had to be a working horse he is so gentle, compared to all your horses he is so calm & wants your attention Lester he seems lonely, probably because his male owner died he might respond to you Lester if he’s had men training him his whole life. I love him already you really lucked out with this big boy.
It's good to see how he keeps one ear on at all times. You want the animals to trust you. You have to show that you can trust them in return. It doesn't come natural. Showing them that you trust them, will boost their confidence.
Draft horses are my favorites. I had the privilege years ago to love on a chlyesdale horse. I was in heaven. I was not afraid of him. He was a gentle giant.
Roman looks to be kid broke, so while always cautious around new animals, don't believe you have anything to worry about. He is a gem. Can't wait to see you realize that a broke horse isn't necessarily a broken horse, just a well socialized horse, AKA bomb proof horse. He will be an awesome saddle horse. He will take care of you.
I absolutely love those gentle giants! The big work horses have always had a place in my heart ❤️ You have to ride him. I promise you it'll be the most comfortable ride you'll ever have!!!!!
OMG! I have never been so terrified. Not even with Carl. You are so brave Lester Morrow. To do something that terrifying when your scared, makes you brave. My heart was racing the whole time. Mad respect for doing that. It gave us a close up look at the absolute intelligence you can see in his eyes. Jami will connect closely with this gentle giant. Good luck with the German. Can't wait to see Jami's video
@@caseywoodbury3412 it's his size. And what he's capable of doing. I think he is amazing, and I see the intelligence in his eyes. But for some people, Even though they know an animal is good. Just the sheer size of him is a bit overwhelming. That being said, I can't wait to see more of him and the Roman and Rita show
@@rosiethings228 I guess I’m jaded. I only had very large horses as a child, so everything I learned about horses I learned on them. A lot of my friends had ponies, but my grandpa had me on big horses as soon as I could balance. Yes, he’s a giant, and I suppose his size alone is intimidating, especially if you’re new to horses.
@@caseywoodbury3412 I'd say more blessed than jaded. Horses are those animals for me. I love them so much and wish I was brave enough to even stick my hand out and feed them. but I freeze up with fear even behind a fence. It's like that with all large animals for me. I love them and in awe of them, but could never do what Jami and Lester do. It's why I enjoy these videos so much. I get to be up close and personal with animals through them. know all their names and personalities. Lester getting in there with his fear and all, Had me on the edge of my seat.
Once again, my heart hurts for this magnificent Horse; what must he be thinking and feeling having gone through the loss of his male owner and now his female owner😰I’m certainly gladdened immensely that he has landed with you Lester and Jami who will undoubtedly smother him with love and care. I’m hoping he will be able to join you all at Long Horn Lester’s and in so doing, he can enjoy the company of the other Horses, eventually???😍🙏🏻
We love the Belgian horses here in Missouri. The farmers use the Belgian mares to breed to the mammoth Jacks to make our wonderful Missouri mules. I ve talked to the breeders at the Missouri State fair. But I’ve never personally known anyone that has had them. At the fair it is so cute walking down the isles in the mule barn looking at the beautiful Belgian mares and their Missouri mule foals. I love them !! I’m so excited for you and a bit envious too 😊I’m sure in no time at all you will be madly in love with him. You should hear their owners telling their affectionate stories about them !!!! ❤❤❤
If you love Belgains, you should also watch the you tube videos of the Belgain rescue in Amarillo, Texas. They rescue them from the auction house so they don't go to mexico to be slaughtered. Big Hoof Foundation. This gelding is quite beautiful and lucky to have found such a great home.
Roman is a beauty, a gentle giant. You are correct, Clydesdales pull the Budweiser wagon. My Mom's neighbor had a beautiful Belgian named Chesterfield or Chester. There is a horse rescue in Amarillo named Fletcher Farms. They have rescued many Belgians from the horse auctions. Some of the rescues were quite old and had serious health problems and some very sad stories. Roman will be a great addition to the ranch and he has plenty of grass and space!
I just love Roman. He has a beautiful colors and he seems like he really likes people and doesn't seem to have a problem with Sadie. What a beautiful rescue to your ranch.
His tail bone was chopped off while they are babies. The reasoning is supposedly to prevent the tail from getting caught in the harness while working. It’s a cruel chop job as he now can’t use his tail to swat flies.
Lester ,PLEASE RELAX ,HE SEEMS SO AT EASE WITH YOU AND THE MORE HYPER YOU ARE ,IT MIGHT GET HIM MORE EXCITED . I just noticed the way he looks at you. You can see that he is interested and wants to be your friend. I’m so excited for you and Jamie. He’s going to be a pleasure to work with. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had a friend that had a very large Belgian draft horse.. he used to let my 10 year old son ride him bare back around the pasture. He was the most gentle horse I’ve ever seen. The would gallop and trot and even jumped one of the stone walls. That was amazing. Gental giant.
RELAX LESTER, you just need to relax around him. He doesn't want to hurt you, he is used to being around his previous owner. He may be giant but he is so gentle I hope that you bring Dinky over when you bring Rita over. He would miss her.
Lester, I think you’re gonna need a bigger boat 🤣 Roman is splendid 💕 lots of luck for you with your new, gigantic friend 💕 of course he senses your fear, but he is a gentleman and won’t laugh at you out loud … but we will 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 enjoy him! 💕
He's so handsome ❤ big gentle gaint. And Lester spending time with him just brushing him will help you be less afraid of him ( bonding time). I think he really likes you. ❤
Oh Lester I am so happy you found a horseman to follow and learn from! It will change your life! Have a good journey with all the knowledge you will get
Draft horses are a blast to ride I rode an 18'3 Belgian gelding all the time just Majestic to ride. I've also rode percherons draft horses are so Majestic they are beautiful❤❤❤❤ they are the love of my life I have been around them since I was 13 years old showed them show them and also bred them for many years
My husband’s uncle used to raise Percherons. They were, as you said, majestic. There was a pair at a farm near our summer cabin that my Dad said looked just like ones that his grandpa used to work the fields. I hope he is the exception and lives a good number of years there at the J❣️L Ranch. I cannot wait until Rita gets to meet him. I know Jami is going to be smitten❤️
My word..... he's huge!! I can't wait to see Rita's reaction to him. He is gorgeous!! He's very interested in Sadie. He's used to ppl messing with him. My kids had a friend nicknamed 'Romes'. Excited to see this adventure!
Years ago I went to a Lipizzaners dance in sequence, soooo beautiful! Today there are less than 3000 of these unique horses in the entire world, majestic!
Roman is a beautiful horse! You all are so fortunate to have been able to take him in at the sanctuary. Thank you for what you do to help the animal's you've taken care of.❤. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
Wow!! He is huge... His hoofs are bigger than my head... I've been busy shopping, cooking, and cleaning, so I'm behind a few videos... I was going to see if there is a back story and if you talked about it yet... Roman is so beautiful... Looks like him and Sadie are going to be best buds... And will keep each other company...
I can't wait to hear more about him. I ❤️ that you guys gave us a sneak peek & sorry you are getting bombarded w/ questions & opinions at the moment, I'm just glad he made it there safely & thank you for helping him! One day at a time🐎😊
Lester he is such a beautiful horse and his soul shines through as does yours and jami's. I am looking forward to following his journey on all channels. As always much love ❤😊
Lester, Think of Roman like this, his breed is equivalent to the Labrador of the Dog breed. He wants and needs a companion, not another horse but a Dinky. In fact Dinky would be a perfect companion for Roman!
Lester, He is so handsomely gorgeous horse 🐎 Look how big his neck is.... Seems gentle. Happy Thanksgiving 🤍🙌🦃🙌🤍 to you,Jami, and ALL Of yalls outside babies..... ❤🐎 ❤
Oh, he is gorgeous! I love them thick tall gentle giants! I used to care for at “Nordsvensk” Northern Swedish draft horse, and he was huge, kind, loving and a wonder to ride! They callled him “Lillen” which is Swedish for “the little one” 😂😂 He wasn’t quite as tall as Roman, but somewhat like the size of Moo. But you can see it in their eyes, the kindness and the loving! ❤❤ i usel to sit in hiss stall, on the flor, reading, and he came over and put his head in my knep, fall asleep and just expect me to love on him! I could sit in there for hours! 🥰🥰 I miss that sweet soul! ❤️🥰 you will have fun riding him, if you pick up your courage! They are a bit bumpy when cantering, but the sheer force of them make you feel as if you are on the top of the world! ❤️❤️
Lester, what a beautiful horse! And he seems very gentle. That’s definitely good for you!❤️😂
วันที่ผ่านมา
I'm in love with Roman.....He really is a gentle giant and wants LOVE LOVE LOVE. He is a camera ham too. He wants you to talk softly and hug hug hug. You are so lucky to have him. Oh my gracious. I will be looking at every Roman video over and over. ❤
Bring your boots Lester. You can already tell he is just a big, gentle horse that is used to close human contact. Listen Lester if that little lady’s been taking care of him since her husband passed, you definitely can.🤣❤
You can absolutely ride him. I have a friend who used to ride his Belgian all the time. They truly are gentle giants. He will definitely need a job, maybe a cart or buggy to pull.
He is such a beautiful boy!! I love him so much....I can't wait to find out just "who" he is and how he is with the other animal's. Seeing him with Sadie really let's me know he's just a big ole sweetheart!
Good on you and Jami taking on another large rescue Roman is a lovely horse a beautiful fellow probably with a large loving heart and a story to tell with adventures too come. You will be the envy of Morrow hill with him.
WOW! I would love to rein on Roman. What a fun ride that would be! Draft horses are my absolute favorite horse. We have a draft horse classic at our fairgrounds every year and they are amazing horses. Gorgeous. Yes, gentle giants! Lester, you can get a harness and let him rake the field for cow plops.
Oh Lester I dont think you need to be afraid of him! He has been handled enough and is so gentle! He will be the biggest sweetest puppy ever! I'm so jealous! Roman and Sadie like each other! He would be so much fun to ride!

After being an Amish work horse, he is absolutely more than deserving of a gentle retirement 😢❤

I m sure he'd come right back in the pasture. I am looking forward to the adventures of Roman...
Love this story ❤
He is beautiful. I am 88 yrs old and I would get on his back in a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember when Carl was new to the rescue and you counted the number of times you said 'Carl' in one video. I think we need to count the number of times you say 'He is so BIG!!'. 😂
Don't forget Lester, size isnt everything! 😊😅😂
That horse doesn’t have a mean bone in his body ! He look like a gentle giant
It’s called Docking they cut the tail so it doesn’t get in the way of a carriage I know very little about about houses but I love them
He loved the attention. He just needs some loving, and you can give it to him too.
Lester don't be afraid. Draft horses are truly gentle giants! They're my favorite! Love him❤
Agree, my fave as well.
He doesn't know his size like Moo and psst he can sense your fear, which isn't the same as caution, you can probably move him with your hand, Amish are hard people and care isn't great they are tools. One thing for sure you'd fit on him no problem 😂

Love how Sadie’s loving 🥰 on him, and making him feel welcome.
Sadie really is just the best dog you could ever hope for ❤
She’s probably welcoming him and introducing herself. Shes also probably wondering if shes going to protect him or the other way around😂 I think they like each other🥰
I love that Roman and Sadie have an ‘understanding/bond’ already! ❤
Don't worry he doesn't need a job. He seems to be very happy to just be relaxing. Being a pasture pet, mowing the grass and looking cute can be his job. You can always add some things later. He needs time to decompress. Love him 😍
Aww, he loves Sadie, too. I can't get enough of him ❤

He might be your new side kick! I think you could eventually put a saddle on him and ride around checking on the longhorns. That would be a sight!! Roman is beautiful.
He is beautiful. His life just became wonderful with all your love and care.😍
He is starved for love if he came from the Amish. Work is all he has ever known. I have many Amish neighbors and they work their animals pretty hard.

He said in the previous video that, that was several years ago. He’s been with the previous owner for 6 plus years.
I agree draught horses are mostly gentle if treated gentle being a herd animal he is looking for friends maybe try floating his teeth and get a farrier to look at his feet I would love to ride him

Lester, I can hear you almost calling him a big galoot but you keep checking yourself…lol he is anything but a big galoot. Very majestic
Thinking this and I said the same thing.
Belgians are wonderfully gentle giants. He wouldn't hurt a fly
He loves to be groomed. How lucky for you to have this gental giant. ❤❤❤ I miss my Mariah broke my heart when I busted couldn't afford to keep her.
He is BEAUTIFUL! He has won the jackpot coming to the JL
Lester you crack me up! He wasn’t gonna eat you …😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 he just wants to be near you❤️
It's good to see how he keeps one ear on at all times.
You want the animals to trust you. You have to show that you can trust them in return. It doesn't come natural. Showing them that you trust them, will boost their confidence.
HES WONDERFUL. HES IS USE TO BEING AROUND DOGS. GOOD FRIEND FOR SADIE. MASSIVE!!! They are BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS. GENTLE BOY.
It’s great that Roman and Sadie are becoming friends. He is wonderful, a big teddy bear.
He doesn't want you to leave. He loves you. He sure is beautiful beautiful

You can ride them. I have several drafts. Spreading your legs really wide
I noticed he has a short tail. Will it stay like that or will his tail grow out?
His tail bone was chopped off while they are babies. The reasoning is supposedly to prevent the tail from getting caught in the harness while working. It’s a cruel chop job as he now can’t use his tail to swat flies.
I’m coming with you, Lester don’t leave. Thank you for sharing your videos. I just love your horses. ❤❤❤
I LOVE HIM!!! Welcome Home Roman, you are already loved by so many of us
Draft horses are naturally gentle reatures.. relax, and enjoy the love
Ahhh he’s soooo sweet and gentle. Love him already!
Lester ,PLEASE RELAX ,HE SEEMS SO AT EASE WITH YOU AND THE MORE HYPER YOU ARE ,IT MIGHT GET HIM MORE EXCITED . I just noticed the way he looks at you. You can see that he is interested and wants to be your friend. I’m so excited for you and Jamie. He’s going to be a pleasure to work with. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow, Lester, he is stunning. u and jami are so blessed to be able to help him ❤️ thank u for sharing this beautiful moment with us ❤
Years ago I went to a Lipizzaners dance in sequence, soooo beautiful! Today there are less than 3000 of these unique horses in the entire world, majestic!
He seems to be ok with Saddy, And she seems to be ok with him. I love him already ♥️😍
Wow Lester. This is the first I have seen or heard of him. Love him Lester. Don't be afraid of him. Those big babies are mental. Love him💓💓
That's the perfect example of his spirit has been broken 😢😢😢
It's sad...love him as much as possible...
Roman is a beautiful horse! You all are so fortunate to have been able to take him in at the sanctuary. Thank you for what you do to help the animal's you've taken care of.❤. Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
He must be a new rescue. He’s huge! He’s a handsome fellow for sure.
Wow!! He is huge... His hoofs are bigger than my head... I've been busy shopping, cooking, and cleaning, so I'm behind a few videos... I was going to see if there is a back story and if you talked about it yet... Roman is so
beautiful...
Looks like him and Sadie are going to be best buds...
And will keep each other company...
I can't wait to hear more about him. I ❤️ that you guys gave us a sneak peek & sorry you are getting bombarded w/ questions & opinions at the moment, I'm just glad he made it there safely & thank you for helping him! One day at a time🐎😊
He's so adorable and beautiful
Oh my 💜💜💜🥹 Lester 🙏 he's just beautiful ❤️
His eye is soft 🩵🙏
His ears are attentive and his body language soooo gentle 🙏 praise God 🩵
Lester he is such a beautiful horse and his soul shines through as does yours and jami's. I am looking forward to following his journey on all channels. As always much love ❤😊
Lester, Think of Roman like this, his breed is equivalent to the Labrador of the Dog breed. He wants and needs a companion, not another horse but a Dinky. In fact Dinky would be a perfect companion for Roman!
Lester, you don’t have to be afraid of him at all. He’s a sweet heart. My daughter’s family has 2 big Percherons, (sp). They are beautiful horses.
Lester,
He is so handsomely gorgeous horse 🐎
Look how big his neck is....
Seems gentle.
Happy Thanksgiving 🤍🙌🦃🙌🤍
to you,Jami, and ALL Of yalls outside babies.....
❤🐎 ❤
Pretty sure I am IN LOVE already! ❤ ...And him and Sadie?! 😍 Thank you Lester for sharing your life with us!!!
What a beautiful horse, hello and welcome to your new home Roman ❤❤ he loves being around you Lester…
Oh, he is gorgeous! I love them thick tall gentle giants! I used to care for at “Nordsvensk” Northern Swedish draft horse, and he was huge, kind, loving and a wonder to ride! They callled him “Lillen” which is Swedish for “the little one” 😂😂 He wasn’t quite as tall as Roman, but somewhat like the size of Moo. But you can see it in their eyes, the kindness and the loving! ❤❤ i usel to sit in hiss stall, on the flor, reading, and he came over and put his head in my knep, fall asleep and just expect me to love on him! I could sit in there for hours! 🥰🥰 I miss that sweet soul! ❤️🥰 you will have fun riding him, if you pick up your courage! They are a bit bumpy when cantering, but the sheer force of them make you feel as if you are on the top of the world! ❤️❤️
Lester, what a beautiful horse! And he seems very gentle. That’s definitely good for you!❤️😂
I'm in love with Roman.....He really is a gentle giant and wants LOVE LOVE LOVE. He is a camera ham too. He wants you to talk softly and hug hug hug. You are so lucky to have him. Oh my gracious. I will be looking at every Roman video over and over. ❤
Wow he is beautiful! It’s love at first sight, he will be great for Rita❤
Bring your boots Lester. You can already tell he is just a big, gentle horse that is used to close human contact. Listen Lester if that little lady’s been taking care of him since her husband passed, you definitely can.🤣❤
Wow, he is beautiful. He looks so healthy. I can't get over how he is so gentle for his size.
He is a beautiful horse. He is so calm he is going to love living with you.
He’s just beautiful! Love this horse and his temperament.
Boy that really was a big surprise! He is so beautiful! Such a wonderful disposition, so gentle. I just want to give him a big hug❤❤❤❤❤
You can absolutely ride him. I have a friend who used to ride his Belgian all the time. They truly are gentle giants. He will definitely need a job, maybe a cart or buggy to pull.
He is such a beautiful boy!! I love him so much....I can't wait to find out just "who" he is and how he is with the other animal's.
Seeing him with Sadie really let's me know he's just a big ole sweetheart!
He is beautiful. And they are fun to ride, gentler than you can imagine.
Aww we he loves Sadie! He looks like a good good gentle and worked boy! ❤
He doesn't seem to be in any hurry bust out of the field. Maybe he will be the gentlest animal in all the properties 😊
He is a great horse for you to be around. He is so gentle. Chill and enjoy him.☺️
Good on you and Jami taking on another large rescue Roman is a lovely horse a beautiful fellow probably with a large loving heart and a story to tell with adventures too come. You will be the envy of Morrow hill with him.
WOW! I would love to rein on Roman. What a fun ride that would be! Draft horses are my absolute favorite horse. We have a draft horse classic at our fairgrounds every year and they are amazing horses. Gorgeous. Yes, gentle giants! Lester, you can get a harness and let him rake the field for cow plops.
Oh Lester I dont think you need to be afraid of him! He has been handled enough and is so gentle! He will be the biggest sweetest puppy ever! I'm so jealous! Roman and Sadie like each other! He would be so much fun to ride!
lol I agree, I think Roman is saying what are you waiting for mister Lester? I’m ready for some love!
I bet he would love those peppermint candies ! What a beautiful giant !
He’s lovely Lester! I love those gentle giants!
He's an amazing animal, no need to be afraid Lester, the breed are gentle giants, I love him already ❤️ welcome home Roman!
He is so beautiful and so happy he got to live out his day with you. He will get nothing but the best that is for sure.
Lester Roman is a very majestic hours. Belgium’s are a beautiful breed. I always wondered when Jamie would get a Belgium for her herd. Congratulations
Awwww he wants to be with you Lester. He loves people ❤️
