    You know, Lester, even though you said youre not a horse person I think Roman and Rita will change that. They both have gravitated toward you; you are their favorite person!🤗🙌🏻💜💙

      What will the other horses do, stay put so ROMAN won't interact with them? I thought Rita was part of the plan?

    When i was young, i worked at a riding stable not far from my house. At the end of the day and all of the chores were done and the horses were turned out we would go to where the draft horses were stabled. We clumbed up and haltered them, had a lead road, unlocked the gate and jumped on the back of the them and off we went for an evening stroll on the draft horses. Ive been in love with horses ever since. No telling me different, but the best smell in the world, is the smell of a horse! ❤ I think Roman has found his person!

    I would volunteer to live in the barn with Roman!🥰😂 A few years ago at our state fair, I walked right up to a Belgian that others were terrified of. He came right up to me and was letting me love him. His handler was surprised as he said the horse was skittish with people. I told him, it’s not about feeling fear, but letting him know that he’s the one with power, yet I’m willing to give him love.😊❤

    He’s a beautiful big guy. My husband & I did a motorcycle trip from western Canada (Alberta) to eastern Canada (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia). When went across Canada to Ontario and then down through the eastern US. We love the New England states as like all of America they have their own beauty. As we were riding across Maine, we spotted this man out in his hayfield with 2 of these big beauties mowing his hay the old fashioned way. We stopped to take a picture & I happened to look up across the road where his house was and his wife was waving for us to come up to their house. We went up and watched him put his beautiful horses in the barn. We spent the afternoon with these people (they had a small farm) all because of the beautiful horses. We met more people on that trip because for some reason everyone wants to talk to you when you are on a motorcycle.

    I think Roman is your spirit animal. He’s a gentle giant just like you Lester. I think you have nothing to be afraid of but yes, respect is earned. I’ve fallen in love with Roman and if I could I would come and love on him. I’d be SO enamored! You can tell he’s well trained. I’m glad you’re putting up a great stall area for him. He’s just so majestic! One day you will get the courage to ride him and oh my…THAT would be the most beautiful sight ever. Yes his hooves are cracked. Needs some salve and moisture to keep them from cracking all the way up. His big feet just make me melt!!

    How about re-purposing the loafing shed roofs as wind break on the north side of the new barn? Also, depending on the threading on the water troughs drain plug, you can attach a hose and have the discharge handle on the far end, away from the horse area. This is after you turn the troughs. Hope this helps. You are doing such a great job with Roman.

    I would love to come spend time with Roman. I miss having horses.
