He is such an awesome horse. He isn’t a bully. He is a sweet heart. He loves everyone. Thanks for sharing his life with us. Have a bless day. From South Louisiana
Lester, I love the fact that you are learning from your biggest critic! Others would just want to hate and get back with the guy - you’re so humble, because you care about your animals. It really is amazing how Courtney and Rick said the same thing about Buc-ees Dominance. Can’t wait to see if the chiropractor can help him! I absolutely love this channel and I’m proud to be a supporter
Did you know that it was one of the Ima Survivors viewers who reached out to Think Like a Horse after Lester asked for help in a video. Lester is truly unique to ask for help, listen to help in spite of Rick's delivery style, and put it into practice and publicly let us see the process. I'm hooked on this channel now too. I'm enjoying the camaraderie. Have a good night, Laural
I'm glad that you see that. Most people don't understand that a critic is not a bad person. Without someone to critique whatever it is we are doing, we will never grow and learn. Critics are are best friends in reality, because without them most humans wouldn't be motivated to learn more and do better.
When I had a horse (long ago) the stable he lived in had regular visits from a chiropractor. No acupuncture but lots of adjustments which helped his back immensely, as he was not a youngster.
He is a beautiful horse. I'm so glad he's at a place that he can feel the love and people caring for him. Thanks for sharing his story and it's amazing to see how much of his scars are no longer visible. and very interesting to see what a chiropractor can do for him. Lester and Jami, thank you for giving him such a loving home
Buc-ees is beautiful. Such a horrible start but living his best life now. I love listening to Courtney. She's so knowledgeable and informative. Wish Rick would put his snarkiness aside and just be helpful.
Buc-ees is one of my favorites! He’s such a beautiful horse and has such a great disposition. Funny, I’ve never thought of him as being a bully. Hugs to all!!!
Thank you for the Buccees back story! I love all your animals, but Buccees is my favorite. He is such a beautiful palomino and I'm glad to know his story now. Each day I get a lift watching the animals and people interactions on your videos. I'm a retired teacher so even when you mention your work has meaning for me. Thank you for all the joy you bring.
👍👍👍 Lester I’m so glad that you’ve become friends and have listened to Rick and not offended with him using you as an example in his videos. Others can learn so much from them. Like Bucee Rick is strong willed in his presentation. He could do better but then he may not have the viewers. We had a horse we took on cuz his eye was gouged out in a cult tragedy as they severely injured many horses. We had to rebuild trust and eventually with a lot of love he was an exceptional riding horse. Bucee’s story shows he was severely abused by other horses and in the wild he’d be dead. I believe he’s more a leader now and extremely smart. Someone trained him well and then no longer could care for him and then the problems arose. Seen so many people abandon them cuz not realize the cost and time needed. We had used acupuncture for one horse who’s back was injured when very young and a very heavy person rode him constantly. Soon a smaller person was able to ride him but not as a trail horse and not for long. If Jaimie wants to ride she will need to find a different horse cuz of its back. Certainly you are giving him a life he didn’t have and just handling him maybe all you’ll be able to do. He may be the leader of the herd teaching the others to behave. You are truly learning a lot especially looking at their ears. That is their way of telling you their mood and what they’re thinking. Love this horse and love he’s found his forever home where he feels safe. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I didn't know Beckees's back was out. I had a 15 yr old OTTB (off the track thoroughbred) that came to me with his back out, which caused him to be off in his poll and withers. A chiropractor worked with him and the difference was night and day! He was able to ride under saddle with my daughter comfortably and didn't baulk about it. He ended up being a really good horse, very bonded with my daughter. If anything, you might get him to at least be able to take little ones for short rides with some sessions, as I personally would trust him with the task. He's a real fine horse Lester and he is definitely the leader of your herd! Remember, animals don't see disability like we do, if at all.
Buc-ees is a real example of we are all a survivor of something. Animals can be just as jealous and needy as humans. Sometimes is is hard to share your humans. He was Jamie's first horse and so I am sure it is hard for Buc-ees to share her with the other horses. He was there first so I am sure that has a part in it also. Buc-ees is a beautiful horse.
Buc-ees is a Very Special Horse. It’s Sad Hearing His Back Story But Rewarding Because Of You All Rescuing Him. I’m Going To Watch Ricks Vids, & Hear What He Speaks About. We Have Been Learning So Much About Horses Since He Came Into The Pic. I’m So Glad Lester You Didn’t Run To The Corner & Cry. I’m Glad You Opened Up Your Mind & Heart To Listen To Ricks Opinions/Knowledge. Thank You for the Buc-ees Spotlight. 😍🥰😘
I don’t understand why people get offended by Rick. I like him and he is so knowledgeable about horses. You can tell he likes Lester too. Some people don’t get humor.
Buc-ee's is a beautiful horse!! We learned a lot about him today which is nice and that he was trained . I hope he will enjoy every moment in the sanctuary thanks for sharing
I love Buc-ees he’s a beautiful horse, seeing those pics of when you first got him it’s amazing how much healthier and happier he looks 💞 I love these videos of you and Rick Lester, I think it’s amazing how you were willing even after the first video Rick did to actually listen to what he was saying about the things that you were doing wrong and not just take in the things he was saying about you 😂, I’ve started watching Rick and he can be really funny at times but he’s all for being the horses voice ! God bless you all 💞
You can see by his body language, how happy he is to have some individual attention. I would like to see Ivy get that, she so craves it. Halter her up and bring her out for a walk.
I went to a Massage Therapist for myself after an injury. He helped several horses, dogs and donkeys through massage therapy. At least one horse was lame and was healed. My Chiropractor also served the animal kingdom, big and small!
You know how you have "Not kid friendly disclaimers. " So should be said for 'Rick disclaimers as well"! Buck is beautiful and has come a long way! Very impressed with Courtney, very good teacher.....hear that Rick!?
God Bless Buc-ees, the unsung hero of Ima Survivor Sanctuary. Thank you for telling his whole story, as you know it, Lester. And thank you for not allowing yourself to feel offended by what Rick says, and for applying what he has taught you. The very first horse I fell in love with was Roy Rogers' Trigger. Wow, what a horse! Then came Mr.Ed, and finally Penny, the 20 something year old Palomino mare, owned by a close neighbor. As soon as I was old enough to leave the house on my own, probably around Brinleigh's age, I made a beeline for the neighbors barn, and I pestered him until he put me on Penny's back. I loved that old mare, and I often stopped at the neighbors house that was between Penny's and mine to climb their apple tree and "steal" a treat for her. She was the first horse I actually rode, without any assistance, not even an adult holding onto the lead. I remember hanging on for dear life one day because we were way out in the back pasture, and I dropped the reins. Once that old girl realized it, she made the same kind of beeline for that barn that I did a few years prior. I held on to the horn, clamped my legs around her and prayed. We flew through the wind, and once there, she was the same gentle horse I had always known. I was HOOKED! So, its kind of a no Brainer why the Palomino ( which actually means Pal of mine, or so I've been told) is my favorite horse. BTW, before I go, I'll tell you that same neighbor later got a black and white Pinto named Paint. He was good too but the ride was different. He was more unpredictable. So, I just loved him from afar, or rode along behind my neighbor, so I could hold tight onto him if Paint got too antsy. Anyway, thanks so much for telling Buc-ees' story, and bringing back some of my favorite childhood memories. Much love to all us Survivors!❤❤❤🐴🐎🐎
Buc-ees is such a beautiful and smart horse. I bet he would be an awesome ride. It's sad that he can't be ridden. He is super smart he was enjoying his playtime with Courtney showing how smart he was his tail was just swishing.😂😂🐴
I'm in awe of this beautiful horse. They are so regal and strong and elegant. I understand why Jami chose him first; his story, his magnetism and presence. He is strong-willed and I can relate to him. Thanks for that highlight video and Courtney's insights 💞😘👍🇨🇦
He is a beautiful boy. Horse's are majestic. I saw Rick's video critiquing your comments about "bully". He completely made sense. It's awesome you have welcomed his advise.
Lester another good video and spotlight story. I new you got him for jami's birthday but didn't know where and all. He looked rough when you got him and now WOW what a beautiful horse. It was from all the love and care he received from you all. I dont think he is a bully. He just stands up for himself after all he has been through. Thank you lester and jami for all you do for animals.
I LOVE Buc-ees. Since I’ve been following you guys about a year and a half now he was one of my favorites from the beginning! I think he is sooo beautiful! Love this video!
I'm saying some prayers🙏 for Buc-ees and I hope you can find an EXCELLENT horse Chiropractor that can come out to work on him and maybe FINALLY be able to help get his back pain under control!! The poor thing you can tell must hurt but he's such a beautiful strong fella that ❤'s his new family and I'm sure he's thankful you all rescued him!! 💖🕇
I watch all of your videos. Love them all. This one in particular was informative andddd enjoyable. Keep up the good work and keep loving those fur babies. Your family is doing great things.❤
He's such a beautiful and gentle guy. Even if he gets hangry. he's still going back to his 'fight for his food' mind set but he's gradually making the adjustments and knows that he's in charge. He might feel a bit lonely still if he's not getting the same attention as Voodoo and Dixie. Even though you are playing it safe and not riding him how about taking him out on the bridle every once and a while to 'show him off' to the others, all the time talking to him and praising him along with a few extra treats.
Quarter horses as a breed are really fascinating to me. Their build is so muscular, stocky - they are broader than most warm bloods but they are QUICK. They are beloved of riders of barrel horses because of this - as the saying goes, they can turn on a dime and give you nine cents change. They can bounce through a zig zag so fast, and of course they get their name from racing the first quarter of a track faster than even Thoroughbreds. And they are strong. No wonder so many cowboys love them. Edit: Lester - IF Buccee were healthy - he would give you a ride better than any horse you currently have - guaranteed. You'd have to get over your height concerns - I've seen many professional competitive riders on the circuit that are taller than you, ride horses no bigger than him and walk out with top prize.
Philadelphia checking in. As I watch more and more videos I feel as if I haven't really lived my life! Being in the city it's the hustle and bustle whereas I feel the urge n need to get in touch with animals. Your videos help me with a little bit of that. I thank you for that 👍
I love Courtney! Love her body language around the horses and her calm soft touch even to the way she holds the lead line. You are and the hooved animal are fortunate to have her. I really liked this video. Rick and I are very much on the same page , he just has a much more colorful way of presenting his critiques LOL. I’d love to talk with him!!!
Oops I hit enter before telling you how much I enjoyed this video Lester. And remember Jesus said “ love covers a multitude of sins” your obvious unselfish love is very apparent.
I’m so glad you did this! All I knew is he was blind in 1 eye. He is very smart. Seems like he would like some contact like that daily. I noticed he even did a few high steps.
Lester, I love how you are with your animals. You love each and every one of them with a passion, and you want us to know each one personally so that we love them also. Buckees is a beautiful horse, and I love that I now know how really special he is. Thank you for this video.
He was well trained!!! It's sad y'all can't be riding him!!! I forgot about his back issues. I'm sure he would be a very gentle ride. Especially for kids or beginners. Courtney is so smart!!! Good thought on seeing a chiropractor, Lester. You guys impress me so much!!!! I love y'all so much!!!
You might ask the horse chiropractor about also using an infrared device on him too. You wouldn't believe how much that with chiropractic care has helped the pain in & around my low back fusion. So much I bought a custom unit for myself.
I did watch Ricks video, it was very informative about Buc-ees. I was surprised to hear Courtney say that buc-ees does have some vision on his right eye. He is still competing for his food- and winning that fight. I was glad to see that the attack on his hind quarters did heal up nicely poor buc-ees. He looks good and happy now.
Buckees is very smart and obviously well trained. Hope a chiropractor can help him. I know we owned a horse that was blind in one eye too. He was very sweet but the odd time he'd get startled when riding him from something on his blind side popping up. We just had to keep his blind eye issues in the back of our mind. And its so sad to see how Buckees looked when you got him. He looks 100x better now. Great job!! And I think rude Rick does have a point... Buckees is not a bully... he's just the dominant horse. All horse herds have hierarchy system. And he's just the top horse in your herd. I know my cousins mare we had with us for years was the top horse. She always ate first and had her say about where the others stood or when or if they got attention from us too. But she also was the teacher of the group too. When our friends yearling colt misbehaved she was the one to get after him with a nip to make sure he didn't get too rough with us. Oddly enough she was a palomino too. Lol 💜 from Alberta 🇨🇦
We all (people with horses)need to learn to listen to and read our horses before jumping to the wrong conclusion. It's always a good idea to get your horses seen by a chiropractor and once theyve done what they can you need to continue to have tune ups to maintain the improvements. I do think Rick has some really good things to share it's just a pity he doesn't present them in a more user friendly way. He'd get far more of a positive response and people would listen, learn and execute his ideas more readily if his reigned it back a bit. (see what i did there🤣) Great video Lester. 👍
Horses aren't bullies, they take the lead position, and ask for respect. Since I started watching rick, i see horses in a whole new light.
What a GREAT horse!! It doesn't matter that he can't be ridden. He can be a wonderful friend.
He is such an awesome horse. He isn’t a bully. He is a sweet heart. He loves everyone. Thanks for sharing his life with us. Have a bless day. From South Louisiana

Courtney knows her stuff! Worth every penny for sure. And her and Ivy!!! So much love there
He has a story. A d the ending will be awesome!
Buckees has come a long way, he's had a hard life and you guys took him in & now he is filled with confidence & he's a sweet heart not a bully 💕
Great story. A friend of ours had a horse chiropractor who also did acupuncture and it really helped his horse. Its worth a try.
Acupressure is just as effective as acupuncture and a LOT less expensive. I use acupressure on myself. It's been around for centuries.
When I had a horse (long ago) the stable he lived in had regular visits from a chiropractor. No acupuncture but lots of adjustments which helped his back immensely, as he was not a youngster.
He is a beautiful horse. I'm so glad he's at a place that he can feel the love and people caring for him.

Thank you so much!
Buc-ee’s is a handsome horse. He sure does show that he loves and trusts y’all. So very sweet! ❤️
This is a GREAT video! Courtney is so personable and knowledgeable! What a wonderful ally for the Bigs.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Buc-ees is beautiful. Such a horrible start but living his best life now. I love listening to Courtney. She's so knowledgeable and informative. Wish Rick would put his snarkiness aside and just be helpful.
Buc ees is a beautiful horse and he's been blessed by going to your sanctuary 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴, praise God for you❤ and Jaime❤
Buc-ees is one of my favorites! He’s such a beautiful horse and has such a great disposition. Funny, I’ve never thought of him as being a bully. Hugs to all!!!
I wouldn’t consider “bully” so much as the dominant one. Animals naturally have to establish an order.
Thank you for the Buccees back story! I love all your animals, but Buccees is my favorite. He is such a beautiful palomino and I'm glad to know his story now.

Buc-ees! Time really flies!
Ms.Courtney,You are Amazing and so Young, Knowledgeable, God bless you Always ,,Buc-ees I Love you!!😊
We had a horse that was blind in one eye, he was a big baby. Love his story!

Rick knows exactly what hes talking about. Dont take offence, unless ur the dumb person who dosent like what she hears because its about you.
Might also want to think about acupuncture Lester
@@geraldinerice5371 Very true 😄
I agree
I don’t understand why people get offended by Rick. I like him and he is so knowledgeable about horses. You can tell he likes Lester too. Some people don’t get humor.
Buc-ees is an Absolutely Stunning Horse. So Majestic. Praying that you all can help him out with his Back problems. Hugs.
I think Buc-kees beautiful! He definitely has a story behind him! I'm just glad he has a loving and caring home now!☺❤☺
What big hearts you folks have, loving such a needy animal.
What a wonderful & smart horse. Another survivor 🙏
Buc-ee's is a beautiful horse!! We learned a lot about him today which is nice and that he was trained . I hope he will enjoy every moment in the sanctuary thanks for sharing

💓Such a beautiful majestic horse an horrific start in life to enjoyment at finding peace with you💓
Thanks for sharing your world with us. I look forward to the videos
Thanks for watching!
I used a chiropractor for my horse and it worked real good. His back and neck was out and after he adjusted it he was more relaxed.
I love Jami's beautiful heart.
Love the update on Buckys. Hope you are able to find a chiropractor for him. I know they help people tremendously.
Oh I love buc ees!! He is an awesome horse!
You've just proven my point on Rick. Can turn people off, but he knows his stuff, like it or not.
I went to a Massage Therapist for myself after an injury. He helped several horses, dogs and donkeys through massage therapy. At least one horse was lame and was healed. My Chiropractor also served the animal kingdom, big and small!
You can ride a blind horse be there eyes if they had back problems I definitely would not ride them Buckys is a handsome Palomino 🐴 ♥️ 🐴
You know how you have "Not kid friendly disclaimers. " So should be said for 'Rick disclaimers as well"! Buck is beautiful and has come a long way! Very impressed with Courtney, very good teacher.....hear that Rick!?
Rick is the best horseman, he cares!
I’d love to see the horse chiropractor, I’ve been thinking about having my mare looked at!

Horse Chiropractor is good, I've seen them work on my friend's horse it helped. Thanks for sharing
It was so sad hearing Buc-ees back story. Thank goodness he now has a loving caring home.
Buckees is the neatest horse. Thank you for video of him.

My favorite animals in the whole wide world!! Horses are just wonderful. 😊😍🙂
I ❤ him. He's such a beautiful horse.
Awwww he is beautiful. A true survivor.
Buc - Eeee! Beautiful Palomino horse 🐴
This is one of the best videos I've watched in a long time. Thank you for sharing! ☺
Glad you enjoyed it!
I watch all of your videos. Love them all. This one in particular was informative andddd enjoyable. Keep up the good work and keep loving those fur babies. Your family is doing great things.❤
Beautiful magnificent horse❤️ my favorite animal on sanctuary. Love Dixie, Voodoo horses are my spirit animal.
I just love the “my little pony” song in the background. So adorable
What a fantastic horse 🧡 He has been through a lot. 🧡
Buckees is a beautiful horse. It's really cool how he'll perform with Courtney.
Buckeye is so sweet and Loved
He's such a beautiful and gentle guy. Even if he gets hangry. he's still going back to his 'fight for his food' mind set but he's gradually making the adjustments and knows that he's in charge. He might feel a bit lonely still if he's not getting the same attention as Voodoo and Dixie.

I enjoyed the education. I never knew there was such a thing as a horse chiropractor. He is a good looking boy.

Yes! Thank you!
Chiropractor for Buc-ees so beautiful!! You guys are so amazing. Courtney is amazing too.
Yes! Thank you!
Love you Buc-ees you are smart and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bucees looks so much better now than when you first got him. So glad the horses all get along at ISS
Such a beautiful animal! Lucky he landed with you guys! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you did this! All I knew is he was blind in 1 eye. He is very smart. Seems like he would like some contact like that daily. I noticed he even did a few high steps.
Thank you Lester for your videos
LOL THE MY LITTLE PONY SONG. I USE TO WATCH THAT IN THE 80'S.
I was sooo amused by that!
Palominos have always been my favorite breeds of horse.
He's just Gorgeous! God Bless You for saving him and for all you do for all your babies!!!💜🙏
Buc-ees is so beautiful. Hopefully he can get his back better with a chiropractor! Did y’all find out why Ivy was limping?
Lester, I love how you are with your animals. You love each and every one of them with a passion, and you want us to know each one personally so that we love them also. Buckees is a beautiful horse, and I love that I now know how really special he is. Thank you for this video.
Wow, thank you!
He was well trained!!! It's sad y'all can't be riding him!!! I forgot about his back issues. I'm sure he would be a very gentle ride. Especially for kids or beginners. Courtney is so smart!!! Good thought on seeing a chiropractor, Lester. You guys impress me so much!!!! I love y'all so much!!!
You might ask the horse chiropractor about also using an infrared device on him too. You wouldn't believe how much that with chiropractic care has helped the pain in & around my low back fusion. So much I bought a custom unit for myself.
He's Soooo Beautiful..Love Palomino's And Buckskins...
Thank you for taking care of this beautiful horse and all the animals..
Our pleasure!
Buc-ees is an awesome guy!! I hope his back can be worked on. That would be great! 🥰😍
Thanks. Chiropractor do help alot
He's a pretty horse.
He really is, isn't he? I didn't realize it before.
I was happy to see how well but he's back in his healed , never thought it would heal over that well
I did watch Ricks video, it was very informative about Buc-ees. I was surprised to hear Courtney say that buc-ees does have some vision on his right eye. He is still competing for his food- and winning that fight. I was glad to see that the attack on his hind quarters did heal up nicely poor buc-ees. He looks good and happy now.
I love this video. Buc-ees is an amazing horse.
Love misfits they're the best.
He's so beautiful 😍 And he loves Courtney! Amazing
Buckees is very smart and obviously well trained. Hope a chiropractor can help him. I know we owned a horse that was blind in one eye too. He was very sweet but the odd time he'd get startled when riding him from something on his blind side popping up. We just had to keep his blind eye issues in the back of our mind.
And its so sad to see how Buckees looked when you got him. He looks 100x better now. Great job!! And I think rude Rick does have a point... Buckees is not a bully... he's just the dominant horse. All horse herds have hierarchy system. And he's just the top horse in your herd.
I know my cousins mare we had with us for years was the top horse. She always ate first and had her say about where the others stood or when or if they got attention from us too. But she also was the teacher of the group too. When our friends yearling colt misbehaved she was the one to get after him with a nip to make sure he didn't get too rough with us. Oddly enough she was a palomino too. Lol

We all (people with horses)need to learn to listen to and read our horses before jumping to the wrong conclusion. It's always a good idea to get your horses seen by a chiropractor and once theyve done what they can you need to continue to have tune ups to maintain the improvements. I do think Rick has some really good things to share it's just a pity he doesn't present them in a more user friendly way. He'd get far more of a positive response and people would listen, learn and execute his ideas more readily if his reigned it back a bit. (see what i did there🤣) Great video Lester. 👍
Great video, I would love to see the video of where he came from and the conditions he was in.
Interesting about Buc-ees' name. I thought it was short for Starbucks.. your date night spot ! 💕🙃
