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.

Barry looks like he's really enjoying the brush and the love. Lucky boy the day you rescued him.💕

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!

Seeing Barry get love and attention after saving him.

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.👍

Barry loves to look at himself in the camera, he is a handsome boy and he knows it! (we all know it) 🥰🥰🥰

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.

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's so beautiful how your animals love you.

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 😊❤️❤️

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.

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 so sweet! Just love him ❤️

Julian: Jacob, that's not food! Jacob: Are you sure? Looks yummy to me.

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.

Barry has the greatest smile ❤️

I loved my morning at the Jacob's Ridge. Thank you. Love Bunny xxx

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.

I completely enjoyed this long video, showing lots of animals with natural sound. Thank you and take care.

I wish I could wake up to that life every morning surrounded with those gorgeous animals. Fantastic video

Loved seeing all the animals, really great, thanks, enjoy your shopping trip

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

There's alot of sweetness between everyone here, and of course, mischief. Such a gorgeous family of rescues and rescuers 🌹💐💋

Barry is sooo sweet natured, he just LOVES the attention. He's a lovely Donkey, that's so wonderful.

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!!

I was thinking of you all when I heard of all the rain you had. I’m glad everyone is safe and happy.

“All you horses are pretty nosey” 😆 love it.

O my word!! Doesnt he just melt your heart!! Love him to the moon and back.💖💖

Lovely video, so peaceful listening to nature and the sounds at the Ridge

Loved this, so delightful seeing all the animals as they go about their day. Ronnie has the most beautiful eyelashes ! :) x

6:35 "You're crowding me." I laughed so hard as you had donkeys on every side of you!

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! ❤️❤️🥰

It’s obvious all the fur people love you both! Barry looking really good!

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.

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 ❤️

Awwwww I want to brush Barry he's enjoying the brushing so adorable 🥰🥰❤

So nice to see Hotie's face for a change. 🤣 He's a handsome donkey and I love his cloudy mix of colors.

What a beautiful life. This channel is one of the only things that brings me joy in this screwy world.

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!

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

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!!

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 🥰 ❤🐴🐖🐐

😂 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 💖😁

Ahhh..so lovely to see everyone happy and chillaxed. Love watching your videos!

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!

In actual fact, I think that Barry is quite enjoying the attention.🥰🤝👍👏

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!

Oh boy does Barry luv that brushing. So cute

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!

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!

so cute the way Barry is enjoying his grooming

What a lovely visit with everyone today! 🤗

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.

its so evident they all love you SOOOO much! absolutely lovely to see - thank you!

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!

Love how Ronny loves the camera. Lol

OMG!!! Look at Barry's nose!!! It looks great!!

These horses as well as the donkey's are beautiful and amazing! 😀❤❤

Aww, I can tell that little Barry enjoys his time to be brushed. Thanks 😊

This is the most beautiful use of social media

I love this! Period. Simple, honest Love. What a big heart this sanctuary has. Thank you

Hi really hope all those animals of yours realise how lucky they are to live at Jacobsridge!!👏🏻🐎🌈✨

I think Charlie should give Barry some Hair styling tips

The cutest faces on the internet, living the life of Riley...

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. 🥰

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.

Melts my heart when I see humans and animals caring for one another ... 💙 💙 💙

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. 💕 💕

Thanks so much for The Nostral Cam 🤳 I loved seeing the donkeys and horses. I hope you have a wonderful day. God bless 💙

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. ❤️❤️

AWE! 12:29 he wanted to go to his human, then decided not to.. sweet buddy. I have learned so much here, about horses.

Barry LOVED being brushed! He was ecstatic!!

I love seeing all the animals. They are so funny. ❤️

"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.

Ha ha Steve my Daisy Poodle is always full of them seeds 🤣🤣🤣

Love donkeys. So Kool. But not when they bite lol. 🤣

Oh Bazzer is loving that , you can see the waves of love and contentment.

Sweet Ronnie!! They all are precious!!! ♥️

Would love to see more video of you grooming the donkeys. 🧡

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!

Thank you soooo much catching up with all the animals ❤️❤️ love it except for mud yuuuuck xxx

Loved the video, always great to see the gang and distract from the horrid events going on. Thank you.

What a perfect way to spend the day looking after animals

Love seeing the usual suspects:)

Who doesnt love a brushout.....💛🐕🐩🇺🇸🇨🇦

I'm looking forward to Barry meandering around the ranch with the donkey crew.

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.

Misty looks like a surfer. Barry looks so well. Carry on up Jacobs Ridge. Greetings from Brighton

So nice to see the gang. Especially watching their responses to being loved on. Well done guys 😊

Thank you so much for this video. Some great close ups of the eyes. For us folks jonesing for donkey love this is a nice treat. ❤

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.

Such a handsome boy. He likes it who wouldn’t😁💓

Oh boy, I'm coming over to brush them all, just so cute is what they are! They just love you so much!

That georgeous Barry's enjoying that brush 😀

What a lovely, lovely way to go off to Neverland. Thank you for this, my dreams will be filled with all the Love of Jacob's Ridge 💖

I'm over the moon for Ronnie,Barry,Steve, Charlie all of them💕 and I'm going to watch all your videos. Love them all!! You are hilarious and I'll be sharing your posts 🥰👍💕
