I am at 78 yr old lady pastor with 2 very large dogs. I watch you with your animals and how gentle you are with them. When I get jossled by them to wear I am knocked off my feet and am tempted to yell I keep in mind how loving you are with your animals that God has brought into your lives. God bless you.
What a beautiful feeling to give an animal love and care that they may never have had before, and to recognize that appreciation in their eyes and demeanor. Thank you, Julian and Rachel!
It's official, Barry can smile!!! How lovely to see him eye up the camera whilst he's enjoying a grooming session.😊 Getting some loving attention is so therapeutic for him. Of course he's going to get muddy again...then you can groom him again.👍
Is there anything more calming and cheering than looking into the faces of loved and cared for donkeys and horses. Thank you Julian your channel is a total joy . Never fails to make me smile 😃
A beautiful video showing the animals on a normal day in the sanctuary. How lovely. Everything is so calm. You can see that all the animals like the love and attention Julian and Rachel give them, talking to them, and we know Steve and Ronnie can understand English! Steve can even use a PC. What clever animals.
I can tell you, Rachel and Julian, realize how blessed you are living where you do and caring for all your charges. I would sell my house, car and everything I own if it was possible for me to live in a tent at the ridge and help tend your animals. The animals definitely know how blessed they are to be part of your world there. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Barrys eyes were damn near rolling in the back of his head lol and it made me jealous. I want a brush down too 😂 He absolutely loved the brush down like immensely 😊❤️❤️
Ronnie's not crazy, he's just misunderstood🤣🤣🤣🤣 Give up your personal space and defy science by letting Ronnie and Steve occupy your space every now and again and all will be well😂😂 This made my morning 🙏 to you all
I can't tell you how much I look forward to these videos! They give me more joy than you could ever imagine. Thank you so much for sharing your interactions with all your beautiful fur babies with us ❤️❤️❤️
What a handsome guy Barry is!! So glad Verity is better! My Mom used to call those "beggar lice".....don't know where that saying came from...but they will get on your clothes too.
I sent this video to a friend of mine in the UK (I’m in the US) with the following message. This video brought back so many wonderful memories. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed this video because I had the privilege to curry several horses and a brahma bull in my past. The Brahma bull was the best experience because he was so calm and enjoyed the brushing more than the horses. I had to sit on his back to complete the job. Everyone thought I was crazy. I worked for veterinarian near my house (for free) where fed the horses, the brahma bull, The cats and dogs and other animals that they were taking care of. I mostly took care of their African gray parrot and the birds that most the other people were afraid to feed the birds because they would usually attack them, I have no idea why they didn’t attack me, I think back now and it’s probably because I didn’t expect them to attack me. That’s probably because I was stupid, but I was never ever hurt by any of the birds that he had and he had four large cages with these huge parrots. The veterinarian had professional people to wash the dogs, but I got the opportunity one time. There was this sweet little dog that I was able to wash. I talked to him the entire time, baby talk of course. I could tell he was a little afraid so I lowered my voice. I was calm and I massaged that dog the way the bug in the video rubs the donkeys ears. I could feel him relax and respond to the tone of my voice. I treated him like we at this Plush spa. This video gave me such good memories of those times.
Watching you with your friends, reminds me of how I relate with my three large dogs. I appreciate your natural voice. When I have visitors, I tell them "NO baby talk, just talk with them in your natural voice."
Thank you for a beautiful, therapeutic video of animals showing their happy individual personalities, enjoying the love and attention they get from you. Some lightness amidst the current anxieties. Blessings to you all xxx
Thank you for looking after that beautiful donkey . you must be an Angel in disguise..all those animals deserve the best .they are so lucky to have you ❤️
I loved this. Loved the close-ups. There’s nothing like sharing time with animals that you have relationships with. This video captioned how they look back at you so much love and sweetness. Dexter wants you to know that, Ronnie’s still his favorite.
What a nice and relaxing video. It was so nice to see all the loving animals and such kind caretakers. We all need a good dose of this in such nail biting times. Thank you!
Oh so good to see Barry getting all that love. He was definitely smiling and such a look of gratitude in his eyes when you brushed him. Watching this video I keep thinking about ways I can make enough money to be able to volunteer. I’ll have to start a GoFundMe campaign!!
Awwww, Barry looked like he was in Heaven getting brushed and pet..he really seems to have acclimated. I’m hoping before too long that he will be accepted by all the other donkeys. My Ronnie looks wonderful with his hair so curly from the rain. Give him a kiss from me please! I just loved this video…it’s one of my favorites! ❤️❤️🥰
Such a relaxing, laid back video! “Holding onto your jacket is my way of holding on to you” says Ronnie. “I would not want to lose you! “ 🙂 Thanks for this video!
It seems that Ronnie is looking right into the camera, can he see himself in it? Have they ever seen a mirror? Thank you for sharing all this with me, and all the love with the animals. Julian and Rachael you look so happy!
Nothing like a good brush, head scratch & ear rub! You almost need a couple of volunteers to spend all day just doing that to all the animals. I'm sure they'd appreciate it 🥰 ❤🐴🐖🐐
Ronnie was absolutely loving the brushing & cuddles, Julian. I'm sure he's so appreciative of the love you & Rachel shower him with, considering his horribly abusive past. It was so wonderful to see & get an update on all the horses & donkeys, Ben, Ruby, Phillip & Django...and Verity's would looks amazing!! Thanks so much for this beautiful video!!
What a great video with so many of the animals included. Barry seemed to absolutely love his spa day! Being covered in poo and donkey wee might be Julian's low cost mud bath for his spa day 🤣 Ben is so secure in the knowledge that he's a true Master of the Universe!
It was so nice to hear something about the personalities of the horses. I’ve just now got down the donkeys traits and names. 😬. It may take some time to recognize the horses though. Thank you for sharing a part of Jacobs Ridge with us!
I love horses and donkeys. When I was a kid, we had a Palomino that was the biggest and strongest horse on our ranch, but was gentle as a lamb. I had to climb a fence to get on him. One time I took him out and went racing across a field. All of a sudden we were airborne as he jumped across a ditch I hadn’t seen. I came up off the saddle, plopped back down, and fell off like a popped cork. I’m amazed I lived to tell the story. Anyway, I love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Just want to hug Barry and hang on.... Verity looks fantastic, you guys are great medics. Giving Ronnie "the power"---really? Are you sure you should do that? And Phillip is just too cool....the James Dean of the lot! Love this quiet video, thank you!
I do hope that while in town you managed to get Rachel a new pair if wellies, nothing worse than wellies with a hole in them. Great video today, thanks guys. Love is all around us. 💕 💕
I always love to watch your videos. It is lovely to see how the animals love the care and attention that you both give them. They live a life without fear and full of love. 🥰
Love seeing Barry and Prince getting into the fameand lime light. Lol Ronnie and Stevie you just make me laugh. I so wanted you to pull Juliaan over into the mud. Awww Ruby and Philip i love them, goats are such characters. Great to see Verity's face looking so good. Poor Ruby she's beautiful, its sad to see her look so sad at times. Thank you for showing the piggies Julian. Take care both of you, and stay safe and well. ❤️❤️
Barry is really coming into his own. I get the same crazy hair as Ronnie when it rains or the humidity is high.😁 Wonderful video to start my day. I hope you and Rachel have a lovely day!
I just love your donkeys they are so precious and each one has their own personality can’t even express how happy I am knowing you have made it your mission to rescue all the animals you have taken in God bless you!
OMG! That video was delightful. It's so nice to see the "kids" returning the love. Julian, you and Rachel are doing God's work. Jacob's Ŕidge will be a success.
What a wonderful break from the cares of my day to watch your video. To see their personalities and the relationship you have was too sweet. I absolutely loved seeing Ronnie love the stuffing out of you.
Thanks for taking us on your tour of making the rounds ❤️ You *have* *to* put together a children's book of some of the animal adventures -- make it a fundraiser for the Sanctuary.
Enjoyed watching. Was in live chat had a great time. You two answered my questions which was wonderful. Congratulations on engagement news. Love you two and all the animals. I love Prince and Oliver. Are you still acting?
I am at 78 yr old lady pastor with 2 very large dogs. I watch you with your animals and how gentle you are with them. When I get jossled by them to wear I am knocked off my feet and am tempted to yell I keep in mind how loving you are with your animals that God has brought into your lives. God bless you.
May God bless in caring for the beatiful creatures
What a beautiful feeling to give an animal love and care that they may never have had before, and to recognize that appreciation in their eyes and demeanor. Thank you, Julian and Rachel!
❤
This is the most beautiful use of social media
Barry looks like he's really enjoying the brush and the love. Lucky boy the day you rescued him.💕
Barry loves to look at himself in the camera, he is a handsome boy and he knows it! (we all know it) 🥰🥰🥰
Seeing Barry get love and attention after saving him.
6:35 "You're crowding me." I laughed so hard as you had donkeys on every side of you!
It's official, Barry can smile!!! How lovely to see him eye up the camera whilst he's enjoying a grooming session.😊 Getting some loving attention is so therapeutic for him. Of course he's going to get muddy again...then you can groom him again.👍
I love this! Period. Simple, honest Love. What a big heart this sanctuary has. Thank you
Is there anything more calming and cheering than looking into the faces of loved and cared for donkeys and horses. Thank you Julian your channel is a total joy . Never fails to make me smile 😃
It just goes to show you that you are never too big or too old to need your mom. My mom has long passed but I miss her every day.
A beautiful video showing the animals on a normal day in the sanctuary. How lovely. Everything is so calm.

Julian: Jacob, that's not food!
Jacob: Are you sure? Looks yummy to me.
It's so beautiful how your animals love you.
Ronnie's not crazy, he's just misunderstood🤣🤣🤣🤣
Give up your personal space and defy science by letting Ronnie and Steve occupy your space every now and again and all will be well😂😂
This made my morning 🙏 to you all
Love donkeys. So Kool. But not when they bite lol. 🤣
I can't tell you how much I look forward to these videos! They give me more joy than you could ever imagine. Thank you so much for sharing your interactions with all your beautiful fur babies with us ❤️❤️❤️

Barry is sooo sweet natured, he just LOVES the attention. He's a lovely Donkey, that's so wonderful.
Barry has the greatest smile ❤️
“All you horses are pretty nosey” 😆 love it.
Barry is so sweet! Just love him ❤️
I wish I could wake up to that life every morning surrounded with those gorgeous animals. Fantastic video
Me too!
Watching you with your friends, reminds me of how I relate with my three large dogs. I appreciate your natural voice. When I have visitors, I tell them "NO baby talk, just talk with them in your natural voice."
I completely enjoyed this long video, showing lots of animals with natural sound. Thank you and take care.
I loved my morning at the Jacob's Ridge. Thank you. Love Bunny xxx

There's alot of sweetness between everyone here, and of course, mischief. Such a gorgeous family of rescues and rescuers 🌹💐💋
Sweet Ronnie!! They all are precious!!! ♥️
What a beautiful life. This channel is one of the only things that brings me joy in this screwy world.
I loved this. Loved the close-ups. There’s nothing like sharing time with animals that you have relationships with. This video captioned how they look back at you so much love and sweetness. Dexter wants you to know that, Ronnie’s still his favorite.
What a nice and relaxing video. It was so nice to see all the loving animals and such kind caretakers. We all need a good dose of this in such nail biting times. Thank you!
I was thinking of you all when I heard of all the rain you had. I’m glad everyone is safe and happy.
So nice to see Hotie's face for a change. 🤣 He's a handsome donkey and I love his cloudy mix of colors.
Me, too!
Oh so good to see Barry getting all that love. He was definitely smiling and such a look of gratitude in his eyes when you brushed him. Watching this video I keep thinking about ways I can make enough money to be able to volunteer. I’ll have to start a GoFundMe campaign!!
The first thing I noticed was his smiling
God bless for taking care of these beautiful animals
Awwww, Barry looked like he was in Heaven getting brushed and pet..he really seems to have acclimated. I’m hoping before too long that he will be accepted by all the other donkeys. My Ronnie looks wonderful with his hair so curly from the rain. Give him a kiss from me please! I just loved this video…it’s one of my favorites! ❤️❤️🥰
When there is a close-up, I feel like I can reach over and pet them. Their fuzzy noses get with reach.❤❤❤
It’s obvious all the fur people love you both! Barry looking really good!
Melts my heart when I see humans and animals caring for one another ... 💙 💙 💙
Loved this, so delightful seeing all the animals as they go about their day. Ronnie has the most beautiful eyelashes ! :) x
Love seeing the usual suspects:)
Oh boy does Barry luv that brushing. So cute
Awwwww I want to brush Barry he's enjoying the brushing so adorable 🥰🥰❤
Such a relaxing, laid back video! “Holding onto your jacket is my way of holding on to you” says Ronnie. “I would not want to lose you! “ 🙂 Thanks for this video!
It seems that Ronnie is looking right into the camera, can he see himself in it? Have they ever seen a mirror? Thank you for sharing all this with me, and all the love with the animals. Julian and Rachael you look so happy!
Loved seeing all the animals, really great, thanks, enjoy your shopping trip
Nothing like a good brush, head scratch & ear rub! You almost need a couple of volunteers to spend all day just doing that to all the animals. I'm sure they'd appreciate it 🥰 ❤🐴🐖🐐
They are adorable but the way they appreciate the interaction is rare. Only rescues seem truly to understand. 🎉🏆⭐⭐⭐⭐
O my word!! Doesnt he just melt your heart!! Love him to the moon and back.💖💖
Looks like Steve needs brushing. D'you have a Donkey brush?
Ahhh..so lovely to see everyone happy and chillaxed. Love watching your videos!
Lovely video, so peaceful listening to nature and the sounds at the Ridge
Ronnie was absolutely loving the brushing & cuddles, Julian. I'm sure he's so appreciative of the love you & Rachel shower him with, considering his horribly abusive past. It was so wonderful to see & get an update on all the horses & donkeys, Ben, Ruby, Phillip & Django...and Verity's would looks amazing!! Thanks so much for this beautiful video!!
I didn't realize that Barry was so little. He's a cutie.
Ronnie loves you too pieces. 💗👍🏼
What a great video with so many of the animals included. Barry seemed to absolutely love his spa day! Being covered in poo and donkey wee might be Julian's low cost mud bath for his spa day 🤣 Ben is so secure in the knowledge that he's a true Master of the Universe!
OMG!!! Look at Barry's nose!!! It looks great!!
😂 everyone loves rolling in the mud after it rains, I can't get over how far Barry as come, he's looking so well, another great video thanks 💖😁
It was so nice to hear something about the personalities of the horses. I’ve just now got down the donkeys traits and names. 😬. It may take some time to recognize the horses though. Thank you for sharing a part of Jacobs Ridge with us!
Awww🥰🥰🥰 Barry, Ronnie, Steve, Charley
AWE! 12:29 he wanted to go to his human, then decided not to.. sweet buddy. I have learned so much here, about horses.
Is it not unusual for the rescued burrows to be so loving
In actual fact, I think that Barry is quite enjoying the attention.🥰🤝👍👏
The cutest faces on the internet, living the life of Riley...
I am loving this video. Especially all the close ups of the donkeys and horses. I think Ronnie might be jealous of your vest Julian.
I love horses and donkeys. When I was a kid, we had a Palomino that was the biggest and strongest horse on our ranch, but was gentle as a lamb. I had to climb a fence to get on him.

Love this quiet video, thank you!
Oh boy, I'm coming over to brush them all, just so cute is what they are! They just love you so much!
What a lovely visit with everyone today! 🤗
Ha ha Steve my Daisy Poodle is always full of them seeds 🤣🤣🤣
Who doesnt love a brushout.....💛🐕🐩🇺🇸🇨🇦
I like the love and trust displayed by pretty much everyone in these videos. It's very wholesome !
I do hope that while in town you managed to get Rachel a new pair if wellies, nothing worse than wellies with a hole in them. Great video today, thanks guys. Love is all around us. 💕 💕
What a great and rewarding life you lead Julian, you all do an amazing job I'm so glad I found your channel! 😀
Oh Bazzer is loving that , you can see the waves of love and contentment.
"You brush my back, I'll brush yours! 🐴"
"Okay! 😃" ("Hey, wait a minute... 🤨?")
"Giggle... 🐴"
You're all fabulous, darlings! 👍🙂 Thanks for the relaxing calming vids.
Aww he's feeling that ,don't stop!!!!
I think Charlie should give Barry some Hair styling tips
I always love to watch your videos. It is lovely to see how the animals love the care and attention that you both give them. They live a life without fear and full of love. 🥰
Such a handsome boy. He likes it who wouldn’t😁💓

Barry LOVED being brushed! He was ecstatic!!
Misty has the absolute best forelock I’ve ever seen 💜
