Look into Audio-Technica At4040 Cardioid with a good wind guard. Shouldn't take much setup being that it's a USB connection and I believe the drivers are built in. The sound is very rich though and you can adjust the sensitivity to minimalism echoing and such. I am not sure if it could be connected to a boom and used with the DSLRs that you film with. It could be mobile. Good luck!
Equestrian stuff is expensive but this is the very high end similar to fashion... Gucci is more expensive than top shop it's the same principle.Not all equestrian products are like this u can a bit for £20
Absolutely, every now and then when I can afford to I splash out on a fancy bit of tack or some high end brand breeches or something but it's just not realistic for the everyday person! I'm definitely jealous 😂 I'm lucky that I even have horses so I try not to get caught up in all the trends and designer brands

Matt making people feel poor for 15 min straight Edit:people are hating on me for making a joke. I think Matt is amazing and wants the best for his horse. I was just joking around so chill out.
Sarah, I don’t think Matt is gloating at all. One thing I like about him is that he is mindful of the cost of his equipment. I don’t know if his family is rich. If they are, he is not a snob about it and that has gained my respect.
It can make us feel better, though, to keep in mind that most of this stuff can last literally forever if it's cared for properly. Like bits or stirrups, if you keep them clean, store them where they can't get rusty and wipe them with mineral oil once in a while, they'll last 100 or more years in the same condition as when you first bought them. Same with anything leather like a saddle or bridle, keep them clean, store them in a dry place, oil them every so often, and they will last several generations (you might have to get a saddle re-stuffed if it gets flat) So yeah, people who buy everything new will spend a whole lot, but once they outgrow their gear or get a new horse who doesn't fit what they have, they re-sell their things, and that's when we poor people have an opportunity to buy quality tack that's affordable. Matt's video might make us feel poor, but he's also helping us to get to know what brands, materials, and countries of origin are good quality and likely to last for years, so the next time we go to our local Pony Club used tack sale, we will know how to recognise good bargains. Never buy a used helmet (you never know if it saved someone's head in a fall, in which case it could look fine but be cracked on the inside and unsafe) and obviously things like breeches and bandages can wear out, but clothing like a Dressage tailcoat will stay good for many years, since it's only worn at shows. Even that saddlepad Matt showed can last for many years if it's dried out between rides and washed regularly with gentle soap, so sweat can't rot out the stitching. I still use the same 45-year-old bridle from when I got my first horse at age 12, as well as some nice brushes I got at the same time, my field boots are 30 years old and still as functional and nice looking as when I bought them, and my saddles will still be good long after I am dead. Because they were all decent quality and I've cared for them over the years. LOL, I wish I could resurrect the breeches I had back then, those were way better quality than anything sold today. Of course they wouldn't fit me any more...
People like Matt do not deserve that kind of comments... I mean that people who own horse have to give some money for their horses,right? I don't know if Matt is rich but in this video you can obviously see that he cares about Chase A LOT!!! And that is a good point...
what care? he only showed you what he bought for his horse, and for himself. your horse doesn't give a flying f*ck what you put on him as long as it fits. (bit, saddle) all the rest is for "us". by this i am NOT saying that he doesn't take care of his horses. not at all, he does a wonderfull job at that, but just not how you referre. And no, i am not against leg protection and all that, it's just disapointing and discouraging to see him prancing around with all this, when all i want is to see him ride.
@@Hspaard honestly the horse probably does care if it fits but I also feel like they care if it's comfortable because no horse wants an itchy saddle pad or a hard saddle pad but I feel like they don't care if the saddle is $4k or $10 as long as it doesn't cause them pain
$ and care aren’t mutually exclusive. Do you think the horse trots across the dressage arena and flexing what kind of saddle it has on. Yeah, you can have pretty things for a lot of $ but as long as it isn’t hurting the horse, you can have it for half the price. Hell just because something is expensive doesn’t mean automatically it fits the horse. This video is a major flex.
I like the fact that Matt was kind of strict with Steve, when Steve attempts to ride Chase, and how Matt has changed into a very caring and funny brother in this video... that made me laugh slightly in the good way
LittleFerret ...Go through your Horse Deals magazine, hypothetically, and tot up all the things you need, or think you need, or want, as well as a horse, and then don't show your parents
Of course Matt is an Influencer and has to show those products for job. But in my opinion those products are too expensive and you can be an equestrian with more cheap things. You pay the brand and not the quality of those products. Be an equestrian shoud be possible for everyone! Even if you cannot pay all those moneys for all the things you need.
I'm over here in the USA thinking "wait, how many dollars? Wait a $1600 dollar helmet!?!?!". Ok I love my head but I can't even wrap my mind around spending that much, maybe it's all the concussions from my $100 solar helmet 🤣🤣😂
Mary Epstein I use Tipperary, really nice helmet brand, good quality for a decent price, 75-200 dollars. I use the 100 one because I like the look and feel.
He does seem to have some idea about the height of these prices , sometimes almost shamefully glancing down. And full out admitting it's an elite thing. "A hundred euro is still a lot of money" he said at some point towards the end. I don't think that sentence would ever come out of ..let's say..Paris Hilton's mouth or even cross her mind.
It is actually so strange how we (equestrians) think oh WoW it’s just €80 while it is actually a lot of money for just Some piece of fabric we put on our horse or we spent more money on our cap than on our phone for example. But in our minds it’s almost normal hahahah
i mean its a niche industry so its gonna be hella expensive thats what u gotta assume but damn thats sooo expensive, if u combine the saddle and helmet and their pricing u would get super close to a one year school tuition lmao
...I wouldn't even put that pink saddle blanket on a horse! I prefer a dense wool felt. I hate synthetics, not even use a modern blanket (rug) as none of it breathes and horses sweat a lot. I shall admire the "image" from afar.
I have another video idea: let him guess "cheap"/non brand equipments against expensive/brand equipment. Like Divoza "vs." Eskadron, Busse vs. Uvex/Kep/Samshield
I have no clue about horses, but I love how Matt explains things and I can live vicariously through watching the vids. I think they're (Matt, Steve and Jessie) adorable and I'm glad to know there are great people out there who do all they can for their animals to have and do their best. I live in the Caribbean so i can't really relate but I have a service dog that costs the same as a car or condo, so I get ignoring the costs in favour of the investment into your Fur Baby. God bless our Fur babies. They are worth more than we can ever pay and give back more than we give them. They do it out of love, affection and trust asking nothing back. My Pupper's training, gear, insurance and healthcare, toys and equipment can stun anyone and he's a cute Cockerspaniel. I can't imagine owning a horse far more 3... The responsibility must be nuts! Bless you Matt!!!
damaar I rode on a novice eventing team for years. We were always told we should move up in competition because we were experienced and capable riders (no one was heading for grand pre). However my off track thoroughbred cost US$7500, (I made payments as one would a car). the next class horses were more than US$10K-$50K. Trainers are sometimes $400 an hr. Things are expensive but since we are asking these living beings to work with us, carry us for days jump, run cross country to be safe and have your horses health in mind-the tack costs what it costs. I remember saying, I don’t smoke drink or gamble because my discretionary income is earmarked for tack. I did not have a $2K helmet but when you are going 30mph over fences, ditches etc, a good helmet isn’t good enough. Mine was US$500. I drove a 12 yr old truck to haul my horse, kept my VW Beetle for 10 yrs. An expensive Joy!
1942rita ...I am aged, and in Australia in the bush. In my day, the saddle always should cost more than the horse. Not any longer, its a millionaire's game these days, unless you stay in the bush.
The saddle costs more than 6 times as much as my horse… and my horse is well trained as well 😂. My horse was $1000 AUD which is around $676 USD, £557 pounds and 610 euros 😂
You r so happy when your brother is with you. Makes my heart warm to see all your smiles!!! Glad you have the best items for your horses, they are worth it.
Everyone needs to remember matt is sponsored so I'm guessing most this stuff he he did pay for but he still has to work for the company. Most sponsored people no matter what profession have really nice things
I love watching the uploads of you and Steve, you 2 have a great dynamic that makes your conversions HILARIOUS to watch! It's really nice to see brothers being silly together because no one "gets" you like your own sibling 😊 Plus he's kinda like the comic relief, just because he's so happy and silly all the time 😆 It was really interesting to see how oblivious "non-horsey" people (as you so eloquently put it lol) perceive owning a horse. It just goes to show that some people don't take things as necessary as tack into consideration with the cost of owning a horse if they're think about getting one. Not to mention boarding, feed, veterinary care, etc..
Yea ,I got a really good used dressage saddle that fits my horse perfectly and that I love only for 200$ when buying a new one it would be over 2 thousand easily in the 3 thousands and the one I got is really good for showing .I've had it for 5 years now and its still perfect
I just love the videos with your brother! And I love how you tease each other but are still so respectful of each other. Really enjoyed his reactions - and your zoom close ups!!!
Brave video! Only our accountant knows our stable costs but I can say honestly that no matter our winnings we still managed a deficit, no surprise, and also why it is important to have a great accountant who has a knowledge of tax codes for the business. The more wins you get, the more you want better stuff for the stable. Now that we retired our stable I have bins of great gear (my big donks are not under saddle) and when we encounter young equestrians it is like Christmas for them as I load them up with tack of all kinds. But, what to do with the custom embroidered luggage with the stable name and such for when we traveled? We still use the smaller bags since we bought the best, the larger pieces for horse gear are somewhere around here along with my custom made stable sign. As you note, you want the best and you pay for it but it never wears out. We can probably line our coffins with our tack bags and stable signs. lol.
I love this haha! His reaction to your saddle being so expensive is what I get on a daily basis! My bridle (PS of Sweden) and my Voltaire Design jumping saddle cost more than my actual life together 😂😂 my mare has such expensive stuff and I have like one pair of jods!
This was a very fun experiment. I know you can go crazy with cost of having horses and the tack that goes along with a horse. I appreciate Matt's honesty. Even though you have the ability to buy nice quality things for your horse I never have gotten the impression that you look down on people. I'm happy you can enjoy nice things and remain humble. But I do hope you do donate to beautiful causes that help the less fortunate. God bless you Matt and Steve
So many people get up in arms about the price of Tack and gear but most stuff is a once in 10 year purchase. (If not once in a life time). You’re paying for quality. It’s an investment for a hobby or even a career.
Reality check for those thinking of keeping a horse. It's not all about purchase price, stabling, training, veterinary bills, transport. Fortunately you and Jesse are dedicated and know how to prioritize. Keep modeling. All the best.
Bernadette Hooper ...Just go through your Horse Deals mag and hypothetically pick up a horse and all the gear you think you want and tot up the prices. All very ridiculous.
I always used simple, plain, cider vinegar with some water mixed in it. Got a super shine. You can buy a bottle of cider vinegar at the dollar store for a couple of bucks. Just a thought for the money conscience. :)
nigisha03 .....for a show shine in the paddock, no rug, a few black sunflower seeds daily, like a closed fist say a spoonful. B vitamins, makes them glow. Not too much, if you overdo it all the hair falls out, you just want the dead hair out. Makes them glow like a stallion. Spray shine? Whatever happened to elbow-grease?
And they are the ugliest helmets along with Antares ones. KASK, especially the blinged out and super custom ones are $1200-$1600 or more and basic KASK, GPA, and Samshield are $650 each.
What an expensive helmet! Did anyone else also try to click on the pink cross of Steve’s shirt to close comments? 🤣 A big “yes” to more videos with Steve!
I also rode with a 40€ helmet. 😄 Very nice but it eventually wore out and looked dirty. I could still use it because it is not broken but I decided to treat myself to a new one 😄😄
Isnt this channel about his wonderful horses and all things equine ... not some adolescent-like "fan " infatuation with Matt and his brother ... ffs. Yuk.
I'm new to watching your vids Matt, love them! But I was waiting for you to ask your brother how much any of your horses are, that would have been a priceless expression! :)
The helmet cost almost half as much as my little car omfg. How can a helmet cost more than 1000 euros?! I guess 200€ lol. 0:39 "So everybody write that down" lol what for I don't even have a horse nor could I afford any of the stuff XDD
Fantaghiro I can imagine why the helmet is that expensive, carbon fiber is expensive anyway and there is a lot to think about when you work with it. Had a hole course in university about it
Annabelle M I realize that yes, I know what course means. I was just commenting that carbon fiber is a complex and interesting material that you can study for a long time.
Okay, speaking of money, what does Gypsy Vanner horse cost? I know there's no GV horses here but wouldn't that be a great addition? I'm seriously considering the breed for my granddaughter.
I need some advice. I rode and then stopped, now I want to start again. Now to my problem: There are 2 riding stables in question, my two best friends are in one that is further away, the other one has much more variety during the riding lessons (rides, jumping, dressage). Which stable would you choose? I hope u can help me🙈
Depends what you want ,if you want variety in the riding lesson and want to experience more then go for that but if you want it to be more simple and chill then go for that option .choose what fits you.I like variety alot when riding so that I'm not always doing the same things and it helps the horse to not get bored
Primrose Cullen Ahhh, vampire characters. Well I hadn't thought about specifics, but now you have the wheels turning....If it's in Europe, would have no clue. Definitely could do the California scene, but it can be brutal there, have heard. (From the Houston area myself.) Perhaps he will act too. The camera loves him!
Considering my County Competitor dressage saddle was 4k... His Kingsley was a comparable price. If you want quality, you're going to have to pay for it. As my husband says 'Horses ain't cheap', but he knows what keeps me happy. Good video!
County is WAY BETTER than Kingsley. Never ever heard of that brand ever. Or so many other top brand dressage saddles we have here in the US like Custom, etc. or Not to mention the super expensive CWD and Devoucoux dressage saddles. I had a County Fusion with the top Buffalo Elephant print leather and skid row panels and he adjustable wool flock tree that my CWD and Devouxoux jumping saddles don't have as they are foam. That County in 2011 was $6k new, barely used, and I got it for $1800-$2k. County's newest model is $7k or $8k!!!
OK guys...........LOVE your video. Fun to watch the brother and you interact and guess prices, and just have fun, BUT.......PLEASE....... tell your camera sponser to get you a better mic! The sound is kinda mumbled, and its so annoying to not be able to hear what your saying, especially when describing your products. PLEAASE....NEW MIC!! I have my volume up on full volume..... so must be your mic. Love and blessings.
Your dressage style is soooooooo opposite the Wild West Mustang thing we do out here in Arizona. Well, then, we do have the Arabian show in Scottsdale Arizona, but.....thats another whole thing.
Thank you for posting this! It was educational for me to see this, and a little funny too 😂 now i know what it costs to buy the best gear for your horse, but you have to know most people don't have that kind of budget to spend on there horse, i believe there are cheaper brands out there. But It's like you guys said, if you want "the best" you have to pay 😊
Helmets are very surprisingly expensive, and honestly a lot of people are super shocked to learn the cost of purchasing one. I am a professional auto racer and our race helmets are mostly carbon fiber, thank goodness for their noticable light weight, but the full face helmets I use are approximately $3500.- $3850.00. That doesn't include the the average $950.-$1400.00 custom paint and art that cost for sponsors advisemeñt. You brother certainly seem to be the gentleman like yourself. Thanks Knowing the cost of our rolling race garage in a semi, you must have written a nice sum for the beautiful new truck transport. The red Land Rover paint is beautiful.
I can't decide which ones is hotter and I love it! P.S was laughing my arse off at the beginning AWESOME thankyou we need more more more twin stuff. So comical watching Matt's amusement at the 'non horsey person'. NOPE!!!! I decided.. Steve 😉
Fun to watch! And also to guess and actually get to know the price of Kingsley saddles. I don't think they are as common here in Sweden..? Guessed the price would be quite similar to a saddle from Equipe :)
@@louisecassidy5991😂🤔 Ok.. It was a dressage saddle pad anyway, but I checked the website and they had white and gold, navy and gold, and it was all so pretty!!
Thank you so much to you and your brother. When you 2 get together it makes me laugh so much. This one was different but fun and interesting. I'm in the U.S. and have not done a lot of out of country travel so would you tell me how much a euro is worth verses a dollar in US. Hope I spelled Euro right, if not I truly apologize. Dont mean to offend. Love your vlogs and all you're doing. Best of luck on new Venture, Rusty in OKLAHOMA
To all the people pricing out the cost of owning a horse... buy used stuff. Found brand new leather reins at consignment store $20, leather open front boots $20, brand new belly girth bought from liquidation tack store worth $200 got it for $40. You dont have to spend a lot of money to buy nice things for your horse

Kami Sz haha I just came back to read comments and rewatch the video
So nice to see such a close relationship between brothers.
Everyone needs to remember matt is sponsored so I'm guessing most this stuff he he did pay for but he still has to work for the company. Most sponsored people no matter what profession have really nice things
7:35 Matt: *has a helmet worth 1500*
Me: *Buys helmet from a charity shop for 10*
This is like so me 😂😂😂
@@karmenkalinina1504 me too. He said he loves it but wouldn't have paid that for it, (maybe). Me too lol Modeling has advantages ;)
Yayyy another vid with your brother🙋♀️💕
I love watching the uploads of you and Steve, you 2 have a great dynamic that makes your conversions HILARIOUS to watch! It's really nice to see brothers being silly together because no one "gets" you like your own sibling 😊 Plus he's kinda like the comic relief, just because he's so happy and silly all the time 😆
It was really interesting to see how oblivious "non-horsey" people (as you so eloquently put it lol) perceive owning a horse. It just goes to show that some people don't take things as necessary as tack into consideration with the cost of owning a horse if they're think about getting one. Not to mention boarding, feed, veterinary care, etc..
I bought my Antares saddle (hunter) lightly used for $2000.00 new it was $4000.00. You can find good deals if u look at local tack shops...
2500robin that’s so good 😯
Yea ,I got a really good used dressage saddle that fits my horse perfectly and that I love only for 200$ when buying a new one it would be over 2 thousand easily in the 3 thousands and the one I got is really good for showing .I've had it for 5 years now and its still perfect
Germany whoop whoop 😝🥰💪🐺🐉🌼
Too whoop whoop 😊
Whoop whoop xD
I hope he realizes not everything is that expensive lol. You can get close to the same thing for way cheaper. Or even go to a second hand shop.
@@cokoladnekokice904 i got my equipe saddle for 2/3rds cheaper 2nd hand and its literally as good as new when you put on sond saddle soap
I just love the videos with your brother! And I love how you tease each other but are still so respectful of each other. Really enjoyed his reactions - and your zoom close ups!!!
Very happy to see Steve🙂
Brave video! Only our accountant knows our stable costs but I can say honestly that no matter our winnings we still managed a deficit, no surprise, and also why it is important to have a great accountant who has a knowledge of tax codes for the business. The more wins you get, the more you want better stuff for the stable. Now that we retired our stable I have bins of great gear (my big donks are not under saddle) and when we encounter young equestrians it is like Christmas for them as I load them up with tack of all kinds. But, what to do with the custom embroidered luggage with the stable name and such for when we traveled? We still use the smaller bags since we bought the best, the larger pieces for horse gear are somewhere around here along with my custom made stable sign. As you note, you want the best and you pay for it but it never wears out. We can probably line our coffins with our tack bags and stable signs. lol.
you should try and get steve to guess which is the budget brand and expensive brand
I love this haha! His reaction to your saddle being so expensive is what I get on a daily basis! My bridle (PS of Sweden) and my Voltaire Design jumping saddle cost more than my actual life together 😂😂 my mare has such expensive stuff and I have like one pair of jods!
Nothing better than having fun with family. cheers horseman!!
Steve is such a cutie! ❤️
This was a very fun experiment. I know you can go crazy with cost of having horses and the tack that goes along with a horse. I appreciate Matt's honesty. Even though you have the ability to buy nice quality things for your horse I never have gotten the impression that you look down on people. I'm happy you can enjoy nice things and remain humble. But I do hope you do donate to beautiful causes that help the less fortunate. God bless you Matt and Steve
You two are cute and funny together. Love it when Steve blushes!
Great products and I enjoyed seeing brother's enjoy one another so much .
Love your chanel. Love seeing your brother. I wish we found meet your parents.
I recently bought a Nalanta Rope halter with reins for 54 USD. It is amazing and my little horse loves it.
@@primrosecullen8488 His name is Raji.
Can we also all take a moment to admire the brothers and their jawlines? 🙌
So many people get up in arms about the price of Tack and gear but most stuff is a once in 10 year purchase. (If not once in a life time). You’re paying for quality. It’s an investment for a hobby or even a career.
Everytime Matt is like “Yes, it's expensive... BUT ITS PRETTY! 😂
So so happy Soreno is fine? What caused the problem?
Reality check for those thinking of keeping a horse. It's not all about purchase price, stabling, training, veterinary bills, transport. Fortunately you and Jesse are dedicated and know how to prioritize. Keep modeling. All the best.
Bernadette Hooper ...Just go through your Horse Deals mag and hypothetically pick up a horse and all the gear you think you want and tot up the prices. All very ridiculous.
That cross on Steves shirt annoyed me😂
Omg I just finished riding and now I'm gonna watch your Video 😂
I always used simple, plain, cider vinegar with some water mixed in it. Got a super shine. You can buy a bottle of cider vinegar at the dollar store for a couple of bucks. Just a thought for the money conscience. :)
nigisha03 .....for a show shine in the paddock, no rug, a few black sunflower seeds daily, like a closed fist say a spoonful. B vitamins, makes them glow. Not too much, if you overdo it all the hair falls out, you just want the dead hair out. Makes them glow like a stallion. Spray shine? Whatever happened to elbow-grease?
Will you want to use the pink shabrak at Emporio for once, I think it's super nice
N was here ....I know it is synthetic and would never put one on a horse. Use wool felt. Or a real sheepskin.
@@louisecassidy5991 I didn't know that
Am I the only one that noticed Matt’s necklace? ( not judging btw, just curious)
What is it?
couldn't tell what it...so what is it?
Wait what do you mean? Im curious now
I think it's a stirrup, I've got one of these .
Yeah at first I thought it was a heart but honestly I have no idea what is it
Very amusing that large pink cross. Makes you want to click on it 😁😁
On Steve's polo
I had no idea KEP helmets cost so much😯
And they are the ugliest helmets along with Antares ones. KASK, especially the blinged out and super custom ones are $1200-$1600 or more and basic KASK, GPA, and Samshield are $650 each.
The cheapest one costs about 200 euros 🤦🏽♀️
What an expensive helmet! Did anyone else also try to click on the pink cross of Steve’s shirt to close comments? 🤣 A big “yes”
to more videos with Steve!
I rode 9 years with an 40 euro helmet and it worked fine. Now i finally got a 500 euro one and its my baby, it gets treated with so much care😂
I also rode with a 40€ helmet. 😄 Very nice but it eventually wore out and looked dirty. I could still use it because it is not broken but I decided to treat myself to a new one 😄😄
@@emilieguillon-equitation421 yeah me too, the old one is when we go for a quick walk. The new one has 2 bags and i always clean it 😂
@@freyagoffin6948 sounds just like me 😁😁
Please do videos with your brother more often. They are always funny
Isnt this channel about his wonderful horses and all things equine ... not some adolescent-like "fan " infatuation with Matt and his brother ... ffs. Yuk.
Your brother looks scared at the cost of some of the stuff 🤣
I love how this is in Euro! I'm from Europe so any other videos similar to this are in dollars & I'm like what is that in Euro lol
1 dollar is almost 1 euro (0,90€) so basically its almost the same 😊
I'm new to watching your vids Matt, love them! But I was waiting for you to ask your brother how much any of your horses are, that would have been a priceless expression! :)
The helmet cost almost half as much as my little car omfg. How can a helmet cost more than 1000 euros?! I guess 200€ lol.
0:39 "So everybody write that down" lol what for I don't even have a horse nor could I afford any of the stuff XDD
Fantaghiro I can imagine why the helmet is that expensive, carbon fiber is expensive anyway and there is a lot to think about when you work with it. Had a hole course in university about it
Annabelle M Haha and I gave a full presentation on carbon fiber in a course
Emma Eriksson it wasn’t just one hour, we had it a full semester and also learned how to do calculations on that and so on
Annabelle M I realize that yes, I know what course means. I was just commenting that carbon fiber is a complex and interesting material that you can study for a long time.
Matt, Nice video. Yes horse gear pricey! Nice to see Steve again!
Okay, speaking of money, what does Gypsy Vanner horse cost? I know there's no GV horses here but wouldn't that be a great addition? I'm seriously considering the breed for my granddaughter.
Lovett everything I've seen, Always excited to watch
Your helmet cost more than my horse 😂
Lolll sammme
I need some advice. I rode and then stopped, now I want to start again. Now to my problem: There are 2 riding stables in question, my two best friends are in one that is further away, the other one has much more variety during the riding lessons (rides, jumping, dressage). Which stable would you choose? I hope u can help me🙈
Depends what you want ,if you want variety in the riding lesson and want to experience more then go for that but if you want it to be more simple and chill then go for that option .choose what fits you.I like variety alot when riding so that I'm not always doing the same things and it helps the horse to not get bored
I was thinking the other day that you might get into some acting.
Seems like an additional natural next step. Fantastic Matt.
Primrose Cullen Ahhh, vampire characters. Well I hadn't thought about specifics, but now you have
the wheels turning....If it's in Europe, would have no clue. Definitely could do the California scene, but
it can be brutal there, have heard. (From the Houston area myself.) Perhaps he will act too. The camera loves him!
Considering my County Competitor dressage saddle was 4k... His Kingsley was a comparable price. If you want quality, you're going to have to pay for it. As my husband says 'Horses ain't cheap', but he knows what keeps me happy. Good video!
County is WAY BETTER than Kingsley. Never ever heard of that brand ever. Or so many other top brand dressage saddles we have here in the US like Custom, etc. or Not to mention the super expensive CWD and Devoucoux dressage saddles. I had a County Fusion with the top Buffalo Elephant print leather and skid row panels and he adjustable wool flock tree that my CWD and Devouxoux jumping saddles don't have as they are foam. That County in 2011 was $6k new, barely used, and I got it for $1800-$2k. County's newest model is $7k or $8k!!!
I love my County... haven't used another brand of saddle in over 20 years.
What type of items will be in the campaign. Breeches and barn wear or t shirts and sweatshirts?
U can use conditioner and water for a detangler and it's cheap and really works
That KEP helmet actually costs nearly the amount which I earn in a month of working...
This made for a very ride able account overall. Can't wait to see what's next in the line up.!
OK guys...........LOVE your video.
Fun to watch the brother and you interact and guess prices, and just have fun, BUT.......PLEASE....... tell your camera sponser to get you a better mic! The sound is kinda mumbled, and its so annoying to not be able to hear what your saying, especially when describing your products. PLEAASE....NEW MIC!! I have my volume up on full volume..... so must be your mic. Love and blessings.
I love the way Steve says whaaaaat??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your dressage style is soooooooo opposite the Wild West Mustang thing we do out here in Arizona. Well, then, we do have the Arabian show in Scottsdale Arizona, but.....thats another whole thing.
11:13 ”is that on sale?” Lmao
“Look at my hair. It’s like a ski slope!”
Thank you for posting this! It was educational for me to see this, and a little funny too 😂 now i know what it costs to buy the best gear for your horse, but you have to know most people don't have that kind of budget to spend on there horse, i believe there are cheaper brands out there. But It's like you guys said, if you want "the best" you have to pay 😊
This was actually really entertaining.
Steve sniffing the boots 🤣
Helmets are very surprisingly expensive, and honestly a lot of people are super shocked to learn the cost of purchasing one. I am a professional auto racer and our race helmets are mostly carbon fiber, thank goodness for their noticable light weight, but the full face helmets I use are approximately $3500.- $3850.00.
That doesn't include the the average $950.-$1400.00 custom paint and art that cost for sponsors advisemeñt. You brother certainly seem to be the gentleman like yourself. Thanks
Knowing the cost of our rolling race garage in a semi, you must have written a nice sum for the beautiful new truck transport. The red Land Rover paint is beautiful.
Handsome and fun . Wish Matt and the Bro told us the prices in Dollars .
I can't decide which ones is hotter and I love it!
P.S was laughing my arse off at the beginning AWESOME thankyou we need more more more twin stuff. So comical watching Matt's amusement at the 'non horsey person'.
NOPE!!!! I decided.. Steve 😉
Fun to watch! And also to guess and actually get to know the price of Kingsley saddles. I don't think they are as common here in Sweden..?
Guessed the price would be quite similar to a saddle from Equipe :)
Helmet = Priceless. I'm so glad you mind your melon, Matt. As big of an influencer as you are, I'd love to see you make a video just on helmets alone.
dang, i've been debating buying that equestrian stockholm pad for ages... it looks so beautiful in that colour
You two are the funniest..... big love from the UK! X
Great video! 😊 I would love hearig you talk german - it would be so fun. ☺️
PS: schöne Grüße aus Österreich 🇦🇹
... and italian!
I get the feeling Steve shops the sales!😊
OMG i want that pink saddlepad so bad!!
Rose Gold Equestrian ...Nup. No synthetics near horses.
@@louisecassidy5991😂🤔 Ok.. It was a dressage saddle pad anyway, but I checked the website and they had white and gold, navy and gold, and it was all so pretty!!
Live when Steve says.. If you like them, they must be expencive 😂
Oh yasss we love good harnacke content
I have the same pink saddle pad form ES and i love it!
Thank you so much to you and your brother. When you 2 get together it makes me laugh so much. This one was different but fun and interesting. I'm in the U.S. and have not done a lot of out of country travel so would you tell me how much a euro is worth verses a dollar in US. Hope I spelled Euro right, if not I truly apologize. Dont mean to offend. Love your vlogs and all you're doing. Best of luck on new Venture, Rusty in OKLAHOMA
One euro, is like 1.1 American dollar. At time I was there. But the dollar is a bit more than a euro.
Why can't everyone care about their horses & family like this :/
Because not everyone has that kind of money or loads of sponsors to get amazing products to care for their animals
Awe I was hoping to see your riding boots
Your horses are so cute
Also photography is mental for money lol 😂 why do I love horses and photography - I’m too poor 😂
Hi Matt from Santa Monica ca. Love your videos❤️🐴
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH😍😍
To all the people pricing out the cost of owning a horse... buy used stuff. Found brand new leather reins at consignment store $20, leather open front boots $20, brand new belly girth bought from liquidation tack store worth $200 got it for $40. You dont have to spend a lot of money to buy nice things for your horse
Great video! Maybe compare lower end brands with the luxury brands for quality would be a good idea?
I’ve gotten so used to these prices and I hadn’t even realized, wow😂
These videos are not just about brothers but TWINS. The full gamut of brotherly intensity family system. LOL.
