Matt:Like your falling Jesse! Jesse: **trying his best* Matt:Act like your falling!,I need a thumbnaaiiil! Jesse: **keeps trying** Matt:THATS NOT HOW SOMEONE FALLS JESSE!
honestly, most stallions I know are that chill unless a mare is directly around them. Now if Emporio was a mare, I'd be more worried 😅 They have such mood swings imao
@@NightshadeGoddess Interesting how we react to our companions differently. Being raised on a breeding farm, I always preferred my pleasure mounts to be mares, and though I competed on stallions, it always seemed to be a battle of wills outside of the competition. My 2 personal mares, as a contrast, always seem to decide I was just a 2-legged foal and 'mothered' me.
@@larinvermont3271 That's my experience as well. Stallions are so much more tolerant than other horses x) My next horse will without a doubt be a stallion. Guess it depends on how you treat and raise them. I know many keep them on their own or pretty much locked in a stable for hours. All the once I train are out with other horses and out for at least 12 hours.
Lar In Vermont honestly i think it’s very common for us as humans to project our perceived differences between human men and women onto animals... instead of male and female animals, a lot of people talk in terms of “men and women” horses. they also tend to generalize all stallions/geldings/mares into set personalities and traits following our own societal judgments. i personally don’t believe in judging all mares or stallions the same way and think we forget that animals are individuals too, each with unique quirks and personalities.
@@youngblasarius I have to say you're right. I find however more mares at least where I have been and i have been around a lot of mares....they are not nice...and very unpredictable. However the geldings and stallions have been better behaved. I personally will only own geldings.
I have to say, Jesse has probably one of the best seats and leg positions I have seen, I have seen a few like him , only seen it in some Grand Prix riders. Wow, so natural and beautiful , especially in the canter work. Beautiful to watch. He gives the impression that riding is so effortless and he is so balanced and relaxed. Loved seeing him ride.
Totally agree. I love his naturalness and the connection with the horses! It may be Matt's horse, but Jesse looks much better on him. And emporio looked more relaxed and happier when Jesse was riding him
There is definitely something very special about Jesse- very very special. Effortless. I agree. He even says it. “I dint feel like I’m asking for anything” imagine we were all so lucky! ❤️❤️🙏❤️🙏
I agree. Jesse is so balletic and supple. if you study Jesse in all his videos you can see he is balletic all the time in the way he uses his body. He has a natural elegance and suppleness to his balance and seat. So he can get on anything and look superior, especially a beauty like Emporio. Matt is also a superior rider but he does through conscious thought. He "engineers" his riding and then develops the gestalt after. They have opposite styles. But they both get to excellence. Just shows both can be effective. I love that they respect the differences in each others style. I do wish jesse wanted to compete. he could go all the way. Ah well.
Jesse doesn’t give himself enough credit for how strong of a rider he is! He adapted to emporio so quickly and rode him so well! I’d love to watch him ride him again!
When Jesse rides him in the beginning he’s like “Dad, I’m trying my best and I hope you know that, but who’s sitting on my back?” He’s just so cute and careful with Jesse and you can really see how he tries to please Jesse already in the beginning. He’s just such an amazing horse😍
Sooo, just have to get this off my chest first that Matt sounds just like my trainer: "Sit back. More back. I know you can do more. Moreee. Sit back with your body. Sit back!" Meanwhile, you feel like you're literally laying on the horse's hindquarters and yet they keep asking for more.... the struggle is real lmao Emporio did such a good job for Jesse while he was trying to figure out his buttons! Such a mindful, patient and sweet young stallion. You've obviously done a wonderful job with him, Matt, and it shows big time with this demonstration of Jesse doing most of the groom/tacking up/riding routine. Well done! Having gone from riding Morgans and Arabians for most of my life to riding a (what I called a giant at 17hh) Friesian stallion for the first time thinking I was everywhere but in the saddle, I can definitely understand the feeling of riding a horse who is very uphill and expressive like Emporio looks to be. In my opinion, Jesse should be very, very happy with that ride because I think he did an amazing job of not having ridden Emporio up until this point of his training.
I second that. I've ridden a friesian before as well, though one was even worse at the stables who'd also be sensitive and expressive swinging those front legs like a proper show, so hard to even begin to sit in that. And that horse, is gorgeous!
I feel like that whenever I ride the Frisian after riding the hafling. Its such a difference They are both mares though so I have no idea if a stallion is different
Jesse you are an amazing rider!!! Don't you ever doubt your own horsemanship or abilities!! Matt... No harme intended... But give Jesse a bit more room to be himself and let him do things the way he wants to do them in his own pace and ways. Sometimes in the vlogs it's like you can be a bit critical towards him because he does something a bit different than you would do it. And I know that the segments in a vlog are just "moments" and not always a good reflection of "real life" and that you have a very good bond. But it took guts for Jesse to ride your horse in front of you because you are an perfectionist and are very clear in how you want things done. I almost felt "bad" for Jesse it made him a bit insecure about his riding skills. You two are very different type of people what is a strong point in your friendship and bond and you 2 compliment each other in a lot of ways! Emporio looks AMAZING!!!! He has grown and learned so much!! You're doing a really good job with him!! I just love that "not so little boy" It's very clear to see his natural ability to carry himself an man did he grew some muscles!!! He really looks incredible!!
Josien Horvers I like how you worded this. I had the same feeling throughout this video. Matt is just very much a perfectionist and he might be a little hard on Jesse sometimes.
Matt just does not want the horse falling back into being so far behind the bit. Matt has been working so hard to keep him vertical. I understand why he kept saying "hands forward and up". Good for Matt to want his horse to keep in training.
I have more of a Jesse personality, and I find people with Matt personalities really helpful. He says things straight, and I find it useful, especially when riding! I know where you’re coming from, but it might just be that Matt has a more dominant personality. I suppose only they know how it really works behind the scenes :) x
I'm pretty sure Jesse would say if it bothers him to the point where he would feel inseure. Also Emporio is a young, learning horse and it's only correct for Matt to correct Jesse and teach him how Emporio works with his rider the best. Plus I don't think it's our business to say Matt is a "perfectionist" and "too tough" on Jesse, because we don't know them and things might be much different for them personally. I think we should appreciate Matt teaching Jesse, who seems pretty unsure about his skills in multiple videos. Pretty sure it helps him.
Pia no, it actually works their top line a lot more than, say, saddleseat works the saddle bred’s topline. that’s why a lot of saddlebreds you see have hollow backs and dressage horses have really nice top lines
@@sethsage_ I am not an expert. I just watched a few videos on topline therapy because the question came up somewhere. see: ua-cam.com/video/K5k1lMKney8/v-deo.html or just search "top line therapy for horses". Also I have watched Jesse ride his old dressage horse bridle-less and the horse stretches his neck out much more without gear than a fully tacked out horse. ua-cam.com/video/lgXP2UKGRX4/v-deo.html The horse is older and just trying to avoid pain and is allowed that by the no-tack situation, so all that doesn't really bear out what you are saying. Dressage horse need to have really strong toplines and everything else, or they can't do it. That is why they have to be fully mature 5 years old to really start training for it.
Jesse is such an instinctive natural and VERY considerate rider, soft hands and huge heart! He was so worried that he was doing something wrong when he got Emporio going beautifully especially in canter!! Good job Jesse!! 👍🏻
It's really interesting to see the difference between the two of you riding Emporio , Jesse is such a instinctual rider and Matt so technically correct. Emporio is a credit to you Matt he is such a chilled stallion and the bond between you both is clearly visible and he clearly enjoys working. For a young stallion with a new rider both he and Jesse did great. It's great that you and Jesse are so supportive of each other and enjoy your time together it's fun to watch. Jesse just needs to more confidence and Matt that's really good clear helpful and encouraging instruction. I really enjoyed this video as much as Emporio enjoys cuddles with his Dad. I hope Sureno recovers quickly. We have had rain / wind and more rain daily here in the UK for what feels like months with snow and hail mixed in and I am over it ...I was about three weeks ago. Thick red clay mud everywhere. Kind regards to you both. D.
Beautifully ridden Jesse!! That canter is to die for! So balanced and uphill! I ride PREs, so I know about “those necks”! ;) .. Emporio is a snuggler.. you can tell he loves you as his little muzzle wants to be in your pocket sniffing and enjoying those quiet moments of soft stroking! Great job training Matt!!
Is it just me or was this incredible horse trying to Impress his dad . He so knows and loves Matt What a great pairing. Great video guys thanks. Best wishes from Canada.
I like how Matt is aware of how Emporio can fall past the vertical. With the horse being young and they way he is built it isn’t a surprise but a lot of armchair riders on the internet seem to think they could do better. And Jesse is a lovely rider, I’ve always thought so-Matt is very classically trained, and while I suspect Jesse has a good classical foundation he seems like a very adaptable rider-he gets on a dressage-trained PRE and does well, but he can also ride his trick horses, show jumpers etc and make it work
I feel like Matt is overpowering with how strict & anal he is about doing... Everything! 😕 Jesse has such a sweet demeanor & so gentle & respectful. Matt is the opposite.
Naomi Uildriks actually matt has ridden andorra off camera in the past, but he said he never wants to ride her again because she can be extremely fast and spicy 🌶
Thank you so very much for letting Jesse ride Emporio. That was a deep down wish of mine and to see it and see Jesse do so well, I knew he could do it. I know its different with someone else's horse, but you were there to help and encourage him. Thank you for being so kind and understanding. And like you said it gave you the opportunity to see how much Emporio has changed in body and performance, by the way thank you also for clarifying about the spurs, so many idiots use them as tools of punishment. Jesse needs to believe in himself more, I know he was always worried about doing something wrong but he didn't he did great. As you said Emporio is just so sweet and wanting to please, really looks good with more weight and filling out. Sorry to hear about Sereno, hope he gets better soon. Again big thank you for sharing this video it made my day. Take care and best always to both of you always Rusty
Emporio has such a lovely temperament. So tolerant when you and Jesse were goofing around at the beginning. He seemed to be working to accomidate Jesse and understand what he wants.Nice for him to be exposed to different riders.
Jesse is respectful of the fact that Matt and Emporio are beginning several years worth of training and doesn't want to "undo" any progress already made or confuse Emporio...
I wish all horse owners treated their own horses as well as Jesse and Matt do. I ride Grand Prix level Dressage, and these 2 people bring a smile to my face every single time I watch their videos...Thank You Matt and Jesse! 🌻 ❤️
Yes, I love these videos and the result of two different riders with such a young horse; 🐴 it is so important to see how he goes 19:14 with another rider onboard. It is also a good indication on how the horse is maturing. He is sweet natured because those who care for him and handle him do so with care and patience and kindness.
OMG 💜💜💜💜 Between your banter in the intro, the way Emporio kept insisting you rub his nose while you were talking, the way Jesse was throwing his hair back every time he flipped part of Emporio’s mane over, or you saying “give it to him!” when Emporio was letting one rip as you turned him around it’s impossible for me to pick a favorite part of this video. Jesse did great riding Emporio! Thank you so much for sharing this 💜
Emporio is the sweetest stallion I’ve ever seen. Most of the stallions at my stables aren’t tolerant of people touching their faces at all. He’s such a sweetie pie.
Jesse riding Emporio reminds me of ME driving my husband's sportscar. "You're gonna tell me everything I'm doing wrong!" "No I won't!" Then he proceeds to correct everything I do! 😂 Yah! No pressure!
emporio is so cute at the beginninggggg, he's so sweet and gorgeous and the most calm 4yo stallion that i have ever seen, good i love your greys, and Chase(of course)
I love how positive the two of you are towards one another. You encourage. You make light of mistakes so as to not make the other feel bad. I watched both videos, the one here and the one on Jesse's channel. Great job on both sides!
Loved this video! Jesse you killed it--so awesome to see you on Emporio. Those canter transitions and uphill canter are gorgeous. This horse is such a natural talent it looks like he could easily do a canter pirouette. He looks so elastic too. Emporio is super, super sweet and a real gem (so honest). Jesse makes Emporio look like Sureno (huge!). I love how humble Jesse is always asking what he can do better--you're a master in your own right👏 Get well soon, Sureno🤕 It woud be very cool to see Jesse on Sureno one day. You guys are awesome--keep up the great work🤗
Matt, so nice to see you teaching Jesse how best to ride Emporio, it is clear that he (Jesse) doesn't want to do anything "wrong" so I'm sure he appreciates the help. Jesse, you look great on Emporio and he seems happy with you as a rider. Thanks to both of you for making these fun videos riding each others' horses, and for sharing them with us.
I seriously have to thank you Matt. I was taught to keep my hands down while riding. Today I was kinda curious to try out the way you're riding Emporio with your hands quite high and it's like my gelding is a completely different horse now. He's way more attentive and more sensitive to my aids, the feeling while riding him is amazing 😍
I've watched so many vids of this horse now and I can't imagine finding time to ride after the amount of cuddles I'd give him. He is so, so sweet. I'd probably let him in the house.
I’ve taken a hiatus from most social media over the last few months due to medical issues (horse videos in particular as it’s so hard to watch when I can’t be in the saddle 😣), but I am happy to come back and see your channel. As someone who has owned a Lusitano and who intends to purchase another Iberian, I just love watching them so much. These horses are so special and so magnificent and the world needs to see more of them. You've done such a lovely job with Emporio and the difference between when you first bought him and today is amazing. In particular, he looks much calmer and at ease, although he was always a sweet boy. 💜
@@EE-zd6xh furst off that has never been stated by Matt or Jesse and frankly, its no ones business if they are or not. Their channels are about their horses and now puppies. Competition comes naturally, some more than others. You really misunderstood my comment.
Michele Heinze I think the replier was making a joke, lol. There’s a meme that goes something like: person a: “x vs y” person b: “why would they fight? they’re in love” and I think that’s what they’re referencing :-)
@@lynxaway well I didn't get the joke, but still, they haven't admitted to that, and IMO, it isn't necessary to do so. We're lucky they share their love for horses and now puppies, I think that's sufficient. But thank you for explaining the "joke" to. It's often I don't get it, lol.
Jesse has one of the most natural beautiful seats in the riding kingdom…he is a pleasure to watch. Thank you Matt for giving us this wonderful opportunity to see him ride your lovely Emporio. Both you and Jesse are like perfection to me. And I know what you mean when your horse makes you feel like a KING! Such exhilaration!
I can definitely say from my own recent experience with my horse share that riding a PRE is a very different experience. There's an energy, power, and stubbornness to them that I'm finding challenging in a positive way, because it's making me have to think more about how I ride. I really appreciate this video, it's giving me some insights into things to try with my own PRE to help me bring out the best in both of us while I'm riding. I think it's interesting how Jesse commented on some of the same things I felt about riding my PRE for the first time. They move with a lot of vertical movement, and it really transfers through the saddle into the rider, which can make it challenging to sit, especially at the trot. That feeling of being moved around in the saddle is really pronounced, and something that takes some getting used to. I'm really impressed by how well Jesse rode Emporio! They look wonderful together! Thank you all for recording this, it really has gone a long way to helping me understand from an outside view, some of what I was feeling while riding my own PRE.
Jesse needs to be much more confident! He always acts like he doesn’t know what to do, but he is such an awesome and soft rider , and I’ve Never seen a horse he can’t ride very good plus he bounds very very well with the horse! Almost the best rider I’ve ever seen! His seat, his hands,...everything’s perfect
Aww it's so pure and natural that Jesse is bit worried at first, bit insecure about riding Emporio same way Matt does. But imo he looks great! it's big difference between horses and Jesse sure has talent on Emporio. Ya both should do more switch videos like these, the're lovely to watch and learnfull too!
Love emporio like Jesse said I can see why you're always smiling when you ride him that was such a nice way of saying that you have a amazing horse Matt well thanks for sharing this adventure love from Australia xxxx
oh my god why has no one appreciated the fact that emporia stands like an absolute ROCK while they groom and tack up hahahaha doesn't even move a muscle
I loved this video! Jesse did a great job of riding. Since both men have different styles, I felt like Jesse didn't want to confuse Matt's horse, so Jesse welcomed any comments. They make a great team! Loved it.
I love the banter between these 2. Even the unspoken ones like when Matt starts talking but Jesse has the camera too low so Matt's head is cut off. Matt's pause & little snicker clues Jesse in to raise the camera.😂😂😂 Just have to love both Jesse & Matt!
Love it, watched both video''s a couple of times, so enjoyable. I would love to see more like this, you are both professional, caring and loving horse owners who only want the best. The horses know this and trust you both unconditionally
Jesse:You're gonna probably gonna give me a lot of things that I need to do different Matt:Yesss..... I am kidding!!You just have a ride first and then if you feel like wou want to ask me something or if you feel like you want to do something different,you can just ask mee I think that Matt would be a horse riding teacher😂😂😂
*Such A Beautiful Horse! Jessup, you ride very well! I’m green with envy! I really miss riding horses; and I miss my horse Mitzi & Taffy (May Both of my Ladies Rest In Peace)!*
OMG Emporio has the sweetest laid back nature for a stallion. For his age his manners & disposition is AMAZING 😍😍 Jessa rode him so well & Emporio is so tolorant i would LOVE to ride a horse like him! Lovely video Matt thank you for sharing. Love from the UK where its just as rainy as the Netherlands! X x
I am impressed with your sensitivity to your horse and willingness to conform to his way of going. The courage to lean back and let his haunches truly carry you both is a beautiful thing. He is uniquely built for that experience of lift off when his forehand becomes expressive and free. Only because are not in the way, and support his natural majestic carriage. That you can coach Jesse to try and taste that is a gift, to all. You teach well.
You guys are so much fun together and emporio is an hilarious and sweet horse. I love his little ‘hidden’ shenanigans with his lips and head. Thanks for this enjoyable upload 🙏🏻
Hi again MATT Must say you've done a great job with Emporio! He's changed so much and you have also in your understanding and riding. He seems so honest kind and chill and very content. Really happy for you how things have turned out for you both. Truly don't apologize for his tail of all things. Don't sweat the small stuff. Things happen like that with horses from time to time! He looks lovely no matter... Thanks for this update on him!
Jesse is far from a peasant- is it possible Matt for your horse to stretch towards the contact time lengthen his stride at some stage? Especially in the early training. I’m starting a 4 yr old 17/2 Hanoverian and it’s all about the long and low contact, initially. Keep up the good work both of you 🇦🇺💖
Emporio is gorgeous and has an amazing temperament. What fun watching YESSE riding him. I thought that he would look like a misfit on him, but he didn’t at all! Most of all, I enjoyed the two of you enjoying each other’s company. I really look forward to both your videos! Thanks guys, for taking the time to share your lives with us🙏!

They live together, have horses together and 2 puppies... I would say they are. Never seen friends living like this 😅
Honestly, Emporio handled walking down that aisle like a pro. Even my gelding would have been flipping out with horses being so ugly towards him.
Right! My horse freaks out if one does that, let alone down the entire isle😂
little "crocodiles" as you find in almost every stable ...
My horse is usually the one being an ass towards all the horses while walking down the stable
I think it's NOT the horses fault -the stable shoulnt be that open up considering ppl and to horses
Yeah I wouldn't like to keep a horse in that stable where the center aisle is so narrow.
I would like to make a public apology for the state of Emporios tail... it was so muddy I couldn’t even begin to brush it... 😅😇
its okay it happens to the best of us
I'm over here not even realising.. because he always looks spotless😂😍
He's a horse their tails get dirty..its no biggie they don't have to be perfectly groomed all the time💕
What breed is Emporio?
You worry too much! Your real fans are all just happy to see him and could care less whether his tail was a little muddy 💜
Jesse is such an instinctive natural and VERY considerate rider, soft hands and huge heart! He was so worried that he was doing something wrong when he got Emporio going beautifully especially in canter!! Good job Jesse!! 👍🏻
It's really interesting to see the difference between the two of you riding Emporio , Jesse is such a instinctual rider and Matt so technically correct.
Emporio is a credit to you Matt he is such a chilled stallion and the bond between you both is clearly visible and he clearly enjoys working. For a young stallion with a new rider both he and Jesse did great.
It's great that you and Jesse are so supportive of each other and enjoy your time together it's fun to watch. Jesse just needs to more confidence and Matt that's really good clear helpful and encouraging instruction.
I really enjoyed this video as much as Emporio enjoys cuddles with his Dad. I hope Sureno recovers quickly.
We have had rain / wind and more rain daily here in the UK for what feels like months with snow and hail mixed in and I am over it ...I was about three weeks ago. Thick red clay mud everywhere.
Kind regards to you both. D.
Jesse acts like he doesn't know what he's doing when he really does. Haven't seen a horse yet he can't ride and ride well.
Barbara Galbreth 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
True
"Half halt! Half halt!" 🙄
There was a point where I wasn't sure you were saying "good boy" to Emporio or Jesse . . . could well have been to both.
Donald Folkers ahahaha, same!
Beautifully ridden Jesse!! That canter is to die for! So balanced and uphill! I ride PREs, so I know about “those necks”! ;) .. Emporio is a snuggler.. you can tell he loves you as his little muzzle wants to be in your pocket sniffing and enjoying those quiet moments of soft stroking! Great job training Matt!!
He is like give me loving
Is it just me or was this incredible horse trying to
Impress his dad . He so knows and loves Matt
What a great pairing. Great video guys thanks.
Best wishes from Canada.
I like how Matt is aware of how Emporio can fall past the vertical. With the horse being young and they way he is built it isn’t a surprise but a lot of armchair riders on the internet seem to think they could do better.
And Jesse is a lovely rider, I’ve always thought so-Matt is very classically trained, and while I suspect Jesse has a good classical foundation he seems like a very adaptable rider-he gets on a dressage-trained PRE and does well, but he can also ride his trick horses, show jumpers etc and make it work
I love how Jesse is constantly worrying about doing something wrong 😂
What's up with that?
He’s so cute.
runningfromtheherd he has just never ridden a horse like Emporio before, so he want to make sure he does it right
I feel like Matt is overpowering with how strict & anal he is about doing... Everything! 😕 Jesse has such a sweet demeanor & so gentle & respectful. Matt is the opposite.
@@qiuyekachemov7672 he literally owns and rides like 2 PREs wdym
Wanna watch Matt on Antares now 😂
of Andorra :)
Naomi Uildriks actually matt has ridden andorra off camera in the past, but he said he never wants to ride her again because she can be extremely fast and spicy 🌶
Kaila H Jesse posted a video of it 30 minutes ago 🤗
Kaila H Jesse put a video of Matt riding Antares it’s funny x
YAAS
Jesse is such a sweetheart. He’s a good rider even without Matt micromanaging. Lol
Thank you so very much for letting Jesse ride Emporio. That was a deep down wish of mine and to see it and see Jesse do so well, I knew he could do it. I know its different with someone else's horse, but you were there to help and encourage him. Thank you for being so kind and understanding. And like you said it gave you the opportunity to see how much Emporio has changed in body and performance, by the way thank you also for clarifying about the spurs, so many idiots use them as tools of punishment. Jesse needs to believe in himself more, I know he was always worried about doing something wrong but he didn't he did great. As you said Emporio is just so sweet and wanting to please, really looks good with more weight and filling out. Sorry to hear about Sereno, hope he gets better soon. Again big thank you for sharing this video it made my day. Take care and best always to both of you always Rusty
Emporio has such a lovely temperament. So tolerant when you and Jesse were goofing around at the beginning. He seemed to be working to accomidate Jesse and understand what he wants.Nice for him to be exposed to different riders.
Someone should make a compilation of Emporio being mad at his boots every time he has to take the first step with them on
I love Jesse says “oh sorry” through out The video even though he Does everything to perfection, he is so polite✌🏻💕
Jesse is respectful of the fact that Matt and Emporio are beginning several years worth of training and doesn't want to "undo" any progress already made or confuse Emporio...
I love Jesse! He has such a sweet demeanor 🥰
Unlike Matt... He's Very Anal & bossy! 🙁
Omg that walk through the hallway. Why are all the horses so mean and angry😂
Jackie Hilgers I wondered that too, poor emporio
Because he is beautiful. jealous like high school mean girls. lol
maybe because they're in their stable all day? I would get cranky too.
2807truecolours I can 100% assure you they’d be more cranky in that storm. The rain there is like razor blades on the skin
Bcuz he's a stallion
I wish all horse owners treated their own horses as well as Jesse and Matt do. I ride Grand Prix level Dressage, and these 2 people bring a smile to my face every single time I watch their videos...Thank You Matt and Jesse! 🌻 ❤️
Yes, I love these videos and the result of two different riders with such a young horse; 🐴 it is so important to see how he goes 19:14 with another rider onboard. It is also a good indication on how the horse is maturing. He is sweet natured because those who care for him and handle him do so with care and patience and kindness.
A masterclass in horse care in every way. Thank you for setting such a fine example of what is possible.
“He’s quite wide”
“Wide? ReALy? Huh, didn’t think of that”
Why was that so funny 😂😂
What an elegant horse. Very fun video, loved seeing Jesse ride him, but OMG Matt is a total stage mom! So funny
OMG 💜💜💜💜 Between your banter in the intro, the way Emporio kept insisting you rub his nose while you were talking, the way Jesse was throwing his hair back every time he flipped part of Emporio’s mane over, or you saying “give it to him!” when Emporio was letting one rip as you turned him around it’s impossible for me to pick a favorite part of this video. Jesse did great riding Emporio! Thank you so much for sharing this 💜
Mystera I also laughed the whole way through it! It was very cute!!! ❤️❤️😂
Jesse is literally the cutest person I've seen so far 🥺 And together with Matt it's just entertaining and cute xd I was born for this content!
Matt: "Just brush the damn horse!"
also Matt: "I brushed him 3 times because I got excited" lol
Emporio is the sweetest stallion I’ve ever seen. Most of the stallions at my stables aren’t tolerant of people touching their faces at all. He’s such a sweetie pie.
Emporio ❤️ I just love this well behaved, gentle, big boy.. And his sweet face makes me want to hug and cuddle him 😍
Jesse is the cutest! I love him! He is a great friend. He’s just the best human!
Jesse riding Emporio reminds me of ME driving my husband's sportscar.
"You're gonna tell me everything I'm doing wrong!"
"No I won't!"
Then he proceeds to correct everything I do!
😂 Yah! No pressure!
do you want me to make you a new intro with Sureno? I can make it in the same style as your intro now.
did you make his Intro??!
Could be just another artist that could make something similar ;)
emporio is so cute at the beginninggggg, he's so sweet and gorgeous and the most calm 4yo stallion that i have ever seen, good i love your greys, and Chase(of course)
it breaks my heart to hear Jesse doubt himself so much! Thank you Matt for encouraging him so much!!
The cuddles Emporio is giving you in the beginning❤️❤️
I love how positive the two of you are towards one another. You encourage. You make light of mistakes so as to not make the other feel bad. I watched both videos, the one here and the one on Jesse's channel. Great job on both sides!
Emporio has such a loving nature. The connection you have with your horses is beautiful to watch!
Loved this video! Jesse you killed it--so awesome to see you on Emporio. Those canter transitions and uphill canter are gorgeous. This horse is such a natural talent it looks like he could easily do a canter pirouette. He looks so elastic too. Emporio is super, super sweet and a real gem (so honest). Jesse makes Emporio look like Sureno (huge!). I love how humble Jesse is always asking what he can do better--you're a master in your own right👏 Get well soon, Sureno🤕 It woud be very cool to see Jesse on Sureno one day. You guys are awesome--keep up the great work🤗
Jesse exudes kindness - radiates it❣️ A very special person✨ I thoroughly enjoyed you showcasing Jesse’s first ride on Emporio 💫 Very fun spirited🎉
You can see how very sweet he is with you Matt. He loves you. Jesse did so well with him👍😊
Matt, so nice to see you teaching Jesse how best to ride Emporio, it is clear that he (Jesse) doesn't want to do anything "wrong" so I'm sure he appreciates the help. Jesse, you look great on Emporio and he seems happy with you as a rider. Thanks to both of you for making these fun videos riding each others' horses, and for sharing them with us.
Jesse rides so beautifully! Love how he takes on the advice so effortlessly. Lovely to watch 😍
Holy shit.....Jesse HIT that side pass right on point!!! U Guys make a great team!!
Jesse is an AWESOME RIDER. I wish Matt would notice this!!!
You should make a video of jesse riding sureno too
Agreed! XD
God, Emporio is so Beautiful! When Matt said he is almost 5 I was like 👀! Amazing horse!
I seriously have to thank you Matt. I was taught to keep my hands down while riding. Today I was kinda curious to try out the way you're riding Emporio with your hands quite high and it's like my gelding is a completely different horse now. He's way more attentive and more sensitive to my aids, the feeling while riding him is amazing 😍
They are just so kind and complimentary of each other. They are a pleasure to watch.
10:07 “and now all we have to do is wait for Miss Jesse to be ready” 😂😂
I've watched so many vids of this horse now and I can't imagine finding time to ride after the amount of cuddles I'd give him. He is so, so sweet. I'd probably let him in the house.
The two new horses are beautiful ..but I miss seeing the reason I started watching this channel.. Chase!!
I’ve taken a hiatus from most social media over the last few months due to medical issues (horse videos in particular as it’s so hard to watch when I can’t be in the saddle 😣), but I am happy to come back and see your channel. As someone who has owned a Lusitano and who intends to purchase another Iberian, I just love watching them so much. These horses are so special and so magnificent and the world needs to see more of them. You've done such a lovely job with Emporio and the difference between when you first bought him and today is amazing. In particular, he looks much calmer and at ease, although he was always a sweet boy. 💜
I love Jessès humor so much, it‘s so similar to mine especially when he said hello back to Matt in the beginning 😂
You are a wonderful teacher as well as a graceful rider. Your horses must love to work with you.
OMG!! the moment we all have been waiting to see!
I love how you two work together, instead of competing against each other. Watching you two ride is absolutely stunning.
Why would they compete if they are in a romantic relationship?
@@EE-zd6xh furst off that has never been stated by Matt or Jesse and frankly, its no ones business if they are or not. Their channels are about their horses and now puppies. Competition comes naturally, some more than others. You really misunderstood my comment.
Michele Heinze I think the replier was making a joke, lol. There’s a meme that goes something like: person a: “x vs y” person b: “why would they fight? they’re in love” and I think that’s what they’re referencing :-)
@@lynxaway well I didn't get the joke, but still, they haven't admitted to that, and IMO, it isn't necessary to do so. We're lucky they share their love for horses and now puppies, I think that's sufficient. But thank you for explaining the "joke" to. It's often I don't get it, lol.
Jesse has one of the most natural beautiful seats in the riding kingdom…he is a pleasure to watch. Thank you Matt for giving us this wonderful opportunity to see him ride your lovely Emporio. Both you and Jesse are like perfection to me. And I know what you mean when your horse makes you feel like a KING! Such exhilaration!
I can definitely say from my own recent experience with my horse share that riding a PRE is a very different experience. There's an energy, power, and stubbornness to them that I'm finding challenging in a positive way, because it's making me have to think more about how I ride.
I really appreciate this video, it's giving me some insights into things to try with my own PRE to help me bring out the best in both of us while I'm riding. I think it's interesting how Jesse commented on some of the same things I felt about riding my PRE for the first time. They move with a lot of vertical movement, and it really transfers through the saddle into the rider, which can make it challenging to sit, especially at the trot. That feeling of being moved around in the saddle is really pronounced, and something that takes some getting used to.
I'm really impressed by how well Jesse rode Emporio! They look wonderful together!
Thank you all for recording this, it really has gone a long way to helping me understand from an outside view, some of what I was feeling while riding my own PRE.
Jesse needs to be much more confident! He always acts like he doesn’t know what to do, but he is such an awesome and soft rider , and I’ve Never seen a horse he can’t ride very good plus he bounds very very well with the horse! Almost the best rider I’ve ever seen! His seat, his hands,...everything’s perfect
True😉
Aww it's so pure and natural that Jesse is bit worried at first, bit insecure about riding Emporio same way Matt does. But imo he looks great! it's big difference between horses and Jesse sure has talent on Emporio. Ya both should do more switch videos like these, the're lovely to watch and learnfull too!
I really enjoy watching Matt and Jesse love their horses and how they interact with them! They are adorable😍
Love emporio like Jesse said I can see why you're always smiling when you ride him that was such a nice way of saying that you have a amazing horse Matt well thanks for sharing this adventure love from Australia xxxx
"act like your falling *I NEED A THUMBNAIL* "
friendship ✌🏻 😔
Friends with benefits 😉😉
Boyfriends
E E if only
E E are they actually?
Cxasey Mxrie Most believe so??? I mean it’d make sense because there are just SO. MANY. MOMENTS.
Both of you guys are good riders and both have nice quiet hands . It's great to see you both having fun with the horses.
And excellent seats!
oh my god why has no one appreciated the fact that emporia stands like an absolute ROCK while they groom and tack up hahahaha doesn't even move a muscle
Becky Gamble lol cause that’s how it should be 😉
Ikr!! He has amazing ground manners
He’s good as gold. Don’t get many like that!🤣
I loved this video! Jesse did a great job of riding. Since both men have different styles, I felt like Jesse didn't want to confuse Matt's horse, so Jesse welcomed any comments. They make a great team! Loved it.
The thumbnail: Emporio completely chilled
Jess seeing 20€ on the floor
Oh oh...what are they gonna do🤦♀️
Their videos are the best in the world😂😂😂😜😜😜
It's so cute watching him totally cuddle up with his head into his dad's arm. Really a true bond there and it makes my heart happy.
You both are such amazing riders that when Jesse was pretending to fall off I bet your poor horse was like what in the?!!!! Lol. Great video tho
I love the banter between these 2. Even the unspoken ones like when Matt starts talking but Jesse has the camera too low so Matt's head is cut off. Matt's pause & little snicker clues Jesse in to raise the camera.😂😂😂 Just have to love both Jesse & Matt!
This was a really good video. I simply love you guys and the hard work you put in with these beautiful horses.
That horse loves Matt. HOrses do not lie, he loves and respects his Dad.
Love it, watched both video''s a couple of times, so enjoyable. I would love to see more like this, you are both professional, caring and loving horse owners who only want the best. The horses know this and trust you both unconditionally
Jesse:You're gonna probably gonna give me a lot of things that I need to do different
Matt:Yesss.....
I am kidding!!You just have a ride first and then if you feel like wou want to ask me something or if you feel like you want to do something different,you can just ask mee
I think that Matt would be a horse riding teacher😂😂😂
I believe he said in a previous video that he was a riding instructor in Australia. 🤔
Emporia is such a sweet and calm soul. He handles himself do beautifully.
*Such A Beautiful Horse! Jessup, you ride very well! I’m green with envy! I really miss riding horses; and I miss my horse Mitzi & Taffy (May Both of my Ladies Rest In Peace)!*
OMG Emporio has the sweetest laid back nature for a stallion. For his age his manners & disposition is AMAZING 😍😍 Jessa rode him so well & Emporio is so tolorant i would LOVE to ride a horse like him! Lovely video Matt thank you for sharing.
Love from the UK where its just as rainy as the Netherlands! X x
Can we talk about how cute it is that Matt and Emporio are cuddeling the whole time at the beginning?! Matt is holding Emporios nose the whole time
I am impressed with your sensitivity to your horse and willingness to conform to his way of going. The courage to lean back and let his haunches truly carry you both is a beautiful thing. He is uniquely built for that experience of lift off when his forehand becomes expressive and free. Only because are not in the way, and support his natural majestic carriage. That you can coach Jesse to try and taste that is a gift, to all. You teach well.
You are 2 amazing riders. Love it❤️. I hope to meet you again soon. Hopefully at horse event 2020
Jess is so reflective and a natural. Great vid xx
Anyone else notice the straw in emporios tail?😂
Yes 😆
Lets wait for some cookies now :D
Matt is so good in explaining wow... great video! Loved it!!! Jesse is doing so good he is so sweet☺️
Matt: Jesse is going to get Emporio ready
Jesse: O wHhyYyy
You guys are so much fun together and emporio is an hilarious and sweet horse. I love his little ‘hidden’ shenanigans with his lips and head. Thanks for this enjoyable upload 🙏🏻
Can we all take a moment for the way Emporio and Matt cuddle in the intro 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi again MATT
Must say you've done a great job with Emporio! He's changed so much and you have also in your understanding and riding. He seems so honest kind and chill and very content. Really happy for you how things have turned out for you both. Truly don't apologize for his tail of all things. Don't sweat the small stuff. Things happen like that with horses from time to time! He looks lovely no matter...
Thanks for this update on him!
What’s up with all the horses trying to bite Emporio? Lololol!
Deborah Rzepela-Auch mares😂
Deborah Rzepela-Auch They are all Stallions it’s the Stallion aisle.
@@jamesbonham5383 it's not a stallion aisle. I know the stable and there are also mares in that aisle
they are all jealous of him
Dominique Wijnberg Sorry my mistake, I thought when Matt moved Emporio in he said it was the Stallion aisle, I guess I misheard.
Jesse is such a sweet person and a good horseman. Appreciate each other gently🙏🏼🦋
Jesse is far from a peasant- is it possible Matt for your horse to stretch towards the contact time lengthen his stride at some stage? Especially in the early training. I’m starting a 4 yr old 17/2 Hanoverian and it’s all about the long and low contact, initially. Keep up the good work both of you 🇦🇺💖
anyone else lowkey thinking Jesse looks like a better fit for Emporio? 😂
Emporio is gorgeous and has an amazing temperament. What fun watching YESSE riding him. I thought that he would look like a misfit on him, but he didn’t at all! Most of all, I enjoyed the two of you enjoying each other’s company. I really look forward to both your videos! Thanks guys, for taking the time to share your lives with us🙏!
