Jesse is like a mixture of a speechless trainer, a worried horse-mom, and a friend who supports your crazy dangerous ideas even though they might kill you😂
Super nice seeing Chase again and he seemed to be smiling throughout. Jesse don’t even ask Matt if you can speak, of course you can, and in fact must. You are a huge part of the channel, we seriously love you as much, if not more because you’re more chilled, but don’t tell Matt😜
It's Chase!!! Haven't seen him in forever! The perfect ginger boi!! Kiss his nose and let him know it was a kiss from Texas. Literally, the only good thing in Texas right now is this video!
🤣 Yes, Annie's boyfriend was over 300' from her!!! 😱😱😱 So glad Chase has a friend who he's bonded with & who adores him. That's why it hurts my 💔 when people have a solo horse. So unhealthy for them, they're such herd animals, which is/was primal for their safety & survival.
Chase is my favorite of all of your horses. He's beautiful and smart and loves you. He just wants to please you. I'm so glad you featured him in this video. Thanks to Jesse for camera work and commentary. I love you two and your horses.
Aww lovely to see Chase in action, he's such a special boy & looking so good, his coat as you say Matt, its beautiful. Love you guys so much. Much love from England xx
Matt and Jesse are always so upbeat and positive about both the horses and each other’s riding. I’ve never seen criticism, anger or even frustration. So refreshing and lovely to watch.
Yes! Poor Chase is still learning. Plus, they use different muscles for Dressage v. Dressage - so he's reconfiguring all that in his mind. He's such a sweet boy.
Chase is a STUNNING horse with such poise. That colour is gorgeous, very handsome. Thank you guys for sharing him with us. Stay safe love and hugs 🐎💝👏😷
Separation anxiety is totally natural for horses, the opposite is much less normal. Horses evolved to live in family groups and want to stay together at all cost. Ani sees Chase as her lead stallion, she feels safe with him. Take him away and the anxiety of a herd orientated prey animal all on her own sets in, even more so since she sees Chase as her male protector. Just something un-natural horses have to learn to accept when living in a domesticated setting, but so ingrained that for many it is impossible to accept, hence the calling, pacing and panic that is so common in horses left behind in the paddock.
i mean i would no call it normal for horses that is so scared that they pace around and yell for their friend. some is normal ofc but when it is affecting the horses well being a lot i would personally do something about it
@@whaleeey2064 I was commenting from the point of view of natural horse behavior. Of course in a captive situation you have to teach the horse to be comfortable alone, but it is against their basic nature. It shows how intelligent horses are, that they can get past this basic instinct to be with their herd at all times and at all costs.
There is no such thingike a "leading stallion", please educate yourself on that. Mostly it's a wise, older mare. The stallions are only there to protect, the "Leader" is a mare.
Couldn’t help but laugh in empathy. Horse goes over the jump first time, both feet come up in the air, so weeee! Let’s buck! I had one of those. And rushing on the other side of the jump. Feeling good! Thanks for sharing! So much fun with this great horse and his great personality!
Jesse be like: "Shouldn't you..." Matt: "No. Why? Nothing's gonna happen." Jesse always trying to maintain control and safety precautions, whilst Matt blows them out the window x) (Matt knows his horses well though, they both know what they're doing)
Chase is so gorgeous. Thank you for knowing he was not happy, but is letting him be a horse and be happy. Many ruthless people would have just not cared and made him continue or just got rid of him because they couldn't be bothered. You are both good people and I'm glad I found your channels. I wish the very best for you both and your beauties, that includes the pups and chickens.
Lol, the dynamic is hysterical. Matt is really a beautiful rider, even when doing this crazy stuff. Especially for being so tall you rarely get hunched over. Jesse is so patient ...love your scratchy voice. I used to have a friend that was like the female version of Matt and it can be challenging at times walking in the shadow of such larger than life people but you are both so kind at heart.
What I like about Jesse is that he trains horse and rider and Chase was listening for his cues: the whistle to slow down, the 1, 2, 3, hopatee and the good boy! I really enjoy the videos where you guys train each other.
They're good for each other, for sure! Glad they became such good friends they both have someone to depend on when they travel for work - horses need lots of attention!! (Chickens and dogs too!)
I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing your playtime and experimenting with Chase. This is much more relatable for bonding time between my horse and I than high level competition. So wonderfully real and unfiltered.
Loved seeing Chase featured, and Matt you are right: Chase's color and coat looks so fine! But how many of us were waiting to hear how if Matt had an adventure with Valegro / Blueberry?
Lovely and fun video!🤩 you could see how much Chase was enjoying it, also Jesse’s laughter when Chase was having some ekstra fun was the cutest laughter ever. Love you all, stay safe and healthy❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Matt, you are amazing, the way you trust Chase when jumping without a bridle....you have a very deep affinity with your horses and enormous love and respect for those beautiful creatures . So good to watch you now I m too infirm to ride a horse myself.
My childhood riding instructor in NZ always made us jump and do trotting poles with no hands and no stirrups to ensure we had perfect balance and trust in our pony. I could not have had a better teacher. My natural ‘seat’ was always spot on as a result. When you were teaching your brother Steve a few video’s back and I think one of you said ‘ride through your bum not your legs’ it took me right back to her. 🤣🤣Mrs McGregor. I just discovered your channel today. I no longer ride, but I miss it so much as I did every day from 6 years -18 years and it never leaves you. I still miss cleaning my tack and I think I could still pull apart a bridle and put it back together with my eyes closed. I weirdly even miss mucking out the paddock. 😆🤦♀️ thanks for the content and reminder of how much I love these beautiful animals.. 💕♥️
do you notice how happy--brave--and adventurous matt is if Jesse is close to him; Jesse please take care of Matt--he really does need you in a good way
Great video Matt! Nothing off about Chase at all! You could tell he was having a good time. And as much as it's important to ride and train them well - fun is important! He looks AMAZING ❤ His coat is gleaming. Next up..Baby Bear!!! 🐴 ❤
When I watch this I realize I am jealous of Matt because he gets to be around that angelic gentle magic that is Jesse. And I am jealous of Jesse because he gets to be with the amazingly talented driven charismatic cheeky Matt. Truly something rare is happening between these two and we all watch with vicarious envy.
Jesses Dressage voice coming through :) Good job Chase and Matt, well done :) Going without a bridle must be hard on itself but jumping is one step further
He is the most beautiful horse I've seen. I'm a sucker for chestnuts as my first pony was one. But Chase is STUNNING! I love non bridle jumping. Gives you a real connection with your horse as you literally give them the control. Lots of trust is a MUST! Great video guys x
Thank you so much for sharing that experience with Chase, you're right he does look so much better and the coat was so shinny. Guess he has finally adjusted to his new home environment and feeding him the right foods is a big plus. Chase still shows that at times he can still have a mind of his own. But you both did great and hope you will do more. Hope Emporio and Sereno are doing great. You definitely have your hands full but you are doing right by all of them. Just shows how much you love them. Hi to you Jesse as well enjoyed your comments. Take care both of you and best always Rusty
its amazing watching them both having fun, both enjoying the moments and challenges. the connection that matt has with chase is super. love you work so much🖤🔥
Awwwwwwww Chase!!!! SO lovely to see him enjoying life (obviously never in doubt because we know Matt totally loves him!) Chase is such a sweet boy...he's living his best life. Most of the time, with friends turned out at liberty (which definitely won't mean put in a field and ignored) then occasionally he is ground worked or ridden, just to add a little spice to his life and he looks such a happy and healthy chap, it's so lovely to see 😍🤗🤗😍
Loved that Chase had a bit of sass. You were talking about if you were ever afraid of a horse and it would be interesting to hear if you fell from a horse and what that taught you. I fell once when some knucklehead came by the arena honking their horn and caught my horse and me off guard. Luckily when I dropped, my horse immediately stopped and put his nose on my back like to ask “how’d you end up down there?”
Thank you for this vlog. I miss being with horses during the lock down. It was fun to see you and Jesse enjoying each other and Chase. Chase is very shiny.
I love seeing you do this. It's so good for your balance and centering yourself. I bet you found you just naturally use your legs more. My trainer used to make us do a whole lesson jumping with our stirrups off our saddles and arms out. I won't say how old I am now but it's a few decades since I was in full time training and my thigh muscles are still big. I was self conscious because I was so skinny that everyone said I used empty toilet paper rolls as boot jacks but I had thighs of iron. Keep up the wonderful work you do. I love watching you guys and remembering how fun it was. I've been lucky and got to keep riding into my 40s. Even got to train my oldest son and show in some shows with him when he was a teenager. I admire you both so much because you're always kind to your horses. Thank you for bringing joy to someone locked up in sweltering Arizona. 🤗🤗♥️
I agree with what Matt said I'm never scared when I'm with my horses, I know what I can do and what I can't which makes the best experiences. I'm way more aware of what I'm doing when I'm with horses I don't know and it takes a bit from the fun but it reminds me to focus more too :')
4:75 there is really so much reason in what he says no horse is the same, each one has his own personality, it is really incredible how you can get to connect with one horse and go back to ride a different horse is a lot of difference
