12 year old girls with horses, matt's excitement is infectious..more of the 2 of you's doing stuff together ❤❤

[@gaildoan2019]

I laughed out loud at this comment too, and the whole video was so much fun.

[@Vee-zx6eh]

That was funny. I had a laugh.

[@beechhilllabradors]

Yes!!! Please more Matt/Jesse! ❤❤❤❤

[@ady1gilb]

Everywhere one looks ... "more Matt & Jesse together"! What a gold mine! Matt & Jesse ... HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING!!!👍🏻

[@beatlejuice42]

One of your best videos I super enjoyed it you need to do more for sure

[@tamlynrn]

As adults it is very special to channel our inner child and experience that same excitement and joy ❤️🐎

[@dicksaucer3231]

Etro is such a good stallion OMG. Cantering next to another horse, relaxed on the trail with no nerves. My goodness what a good time!

[@trinefj11]

He’s a boy that deserves to be a stallion!

[@starson1]

I think if the horse was chill he would not be foaming at the mouth

[@dicksaucer3231]

[@genevievelafrance8639]

​@@starson1 if mine is relax He is foaming a lot. If He is stress his mouth is dry

[@choco3424]

@@starson1 I think he foams a lot because he has a very active mouth. Not just licking and chewing but flapping his lower lip often. You can hear it throughout the video.

[@lori3056]

Happy Birthday, Matt! Thank you for taking us along for the ride. So beautiful. You all looked like you were having such a great time!

[@susanstewart1402]

This is so good for the horses as well as Matt and Jesse. I like the way Jesse jumped Chase so calmly and recovered from a spook .. no problem. Chase and Jesse are a good combination.

[@clairebflores]

Jesse amazes me at how he always stays so calm even when he’s being cautious

[@charliefunboy5210]

Thank you so much for taking us along!!!! Seriously, that was terrific.

[@jadedarling6891]

This honestly has to be one of my favourites that you have ever made and uploaded. Just seeing you and Jesse enjoy yourselves and be exactly what you want to be in that moment is perfect and I’m so in support of it! ❤❤❤

[@deniporter3321]

"All work and no play, makes Matt and Jess dull boys". Thanks for the change of pace. Nice to see horses and riders at play, having fun!

[@mandyguthrie1965]

Ha ha..I was laughing at you both so much…you were truly like 12 year old girls!! Enjoying yourselves and having the giggles and doing what you are supposed to do with a horse…which is to HAVE FUN! More trail rides please and watch out for those forest snakes and horse eating wolves! 😂😂

[@bonnieweeks7601]

I also enjoy watching the Friesian horse channel and I believe they were talking about the wolves. Scary especially with baby horses around or baby anything's.

[@choco3424]

Not the horseland outfits HAHAHAH

[@ady1gilb]

Sooo funny Matt recently said Jesse more 'overthinks things' whereas he (Matt) is more of a 'risk taker'. And time after time, over & over we see that it is Jesse who jumps the horse, Jesse who steps forward & takes chances when Matt is much more cautious, conservative & careful. U never see Matt with dirty hands, bruises, cuts, scrapes or rumpled clothes. It is always Jesse who takes the challenges of life! Doesn't matter anyway, I love both of them equally!!! ❤❤❤

[@thetenre8649]

Very true now that you mention it .... I remember Jesse allowing himself to be dangled over the Zambizi river at the end of a bungee cord ... Matt passed (as most of us would); but yes, love them both to bits.!!

[@choco3424]

I think that was more about big life decisions. Matt did move to the other side of the world at a really young age. Maybe jesse is a bit more laid back overall in life but matt does what he wants when he wants.

[@housemami66]

Seeing the horses so relaxed and actually Enjoying their first and exciting trail ride together, proves what excellent horse trainers you both are 👌 And Yes! please more of these !

[@bethpoe2912]

You both need to do this more often. The horses were relaxed and enjoying it. And you both were relaxed and happy. So very delighted to see this! Blessings to you all!

[@jennifermastin7169]

Matt ,this is by far your best video to date! The dynamic between you and Jesse 28:16 , the talk of your evening and just enjoying each other. The scenery made you GLOW Matt! Jesse you did a fantastic job videoing!! Happy Birthday 🎂🎁🎊🎉🎈! Etro was so incredibly happy he definitely needs to Hack way more! Y’all look amazing and so happy you both throughly enjoyed yourselves 😊

[@JudyCarter-kl7be]

This was an especially enjoyable video! I loved coming along with you two to enjoy the beautiful trails. More of this, please? I live in Oregon USA and we have many, many lush trails...I'd like to invite you to visit some time. You'd love the mountain trails, I'm sure. Happy Birthday to you Matt!! Hugs!

[@judithryle2113]

Chase is much older this isn’t too far for him to go and come back from

[@hillfarm7044]

so good for the horses' brains to get out on the trail. 12 year old girls have the most fun with horses.💜

[@sidilicious11]

I was 12 when I got my first horse. You are right!

[@lindaz1290]

I love the videos you and Jesse make individually, but when you make one with the both of you (especially doing the video yourselves), it's pure gold! This was so entertaining, I realized I had a smile on my face the whole time. Thank you for the adventure. More videos just like this please!

[@lauradubose7233]

That was so much fun riding along with you! Loved it! Yes more trail rides!

[@simonegrobler1778]

Was lovely seeing Chsse again. Thank you for sharing.

[@emelieha]

Etro being an absolute dream 😍 and Chase is such a fun horse xD calm but spunky

[@melanies.6030]

It would be cool to do videos here each season: summer, autumn, winter, and spring. I'd love to see the seasonal landscape changes at this lovely park.

[@juliamoehrke9494]

Yes, I agree Matt! I too, could watch people trailing all day. So relaxing! Loved watching you two venture out on your "Horseland" 🐴trail ride.❤

[@gailnarum4700]

That was fun! Nice to see Matt so light-hearted. Good for all of you.

[@dicksaucer3231]

Talking about Horseland and Twilight, you guys are bringing me back to my teenage years lol

[@Ladybassguitarplayer]

Watching you guys out on the trail is wonderful!!! I hope we can see more trail rides in the future.

[@vtee361]

This is as funny as it is beautiful to watch. The banter between these two is hilarious. Matt- “ snakes here would be lizards in Australia 😂😂

[@fourthtoe-xt3nd]

This is probably my favourite video I have seen from you so far! The relaxing and happy vibes (apart from that one tree trunk (honestly it was that tree trunks fault for being there)). Definitely would watch more of this!

[@user-uw8ib3sw7d]

This was such a lovely video! Beautiful scenery, and it seemed like the air was nice and crisp. It was so much fun being with you two outside your work mode. The horses looked so happy; you as well 🤗! Play dates are always good for the soul! Please, more of this 🫶🏻❣️

[@tracybice6984]

The horses seamed to love the trail ride very much. And are such lovely movers glad you had a wonderful time and hoe to see you do it again.

[@jgirr5824]

❤❤ Thank you so very much for taking us along, it's all beautiful and peaceful ~ really appreciate this more than I can say. 💝🙏💝

You showed some of the real-life complexities of getting ready and going somewhere with horses! It's not all perfect and quick like so many channels show! Looks like such a beautiful place to ride!

[@andreaarrietar]

What a video! Love you both guys. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴, I've been watching your videos since forever and every one of them are better than the last one. You two are wonderful souls & I hope life show you how good and pretty you both are

What a nice ride, really appreciate you taking us along. Chase looks so light in color, normally his coat is deep copper red. Etro has the most beautiful gallop, he's quite the prancer. Always good to see you Matt and Jesse, look forward another trail trip. Thank you, see you soon!🐎🐎💕

[@Xandra02051970]

Matt, In the Netherlands we have one native venomous snake; The Adder (Vipera berus) is found in the Veluwe. You don't have to be afraid of them, you won't easily encounter them on open paths and they will flee away due to the vibrations of your horse's hooves. Nice ride!

[@ambersemona9676]

Happy birthday Matt darling‼️🫶🏼 What a fabulously romantic hack birthday gift🥰

[@onehandtyping958]

I never get tired of watching you and Jesse interacting with your horses. This was an excellent video, worth watching over and over. Thank you for carrying us on the trail ride with you.

[@nannachristensen874]

I would LOVE too see more videos like this!!!

[@michelineduvieusart2439]

The Netherlands are very beautiful and this region is really fantastic. The ride with Jesse, Etro and Chase was great fun for both riders and horses and Matt is keen to do it again. He discovered this place with great pleasure. In all honesty, I've rarely seen our Matt so excited and happy in a video. I'm very happy to have shared these moments with you, to have seen the two big boys in action and I hope there will be more videos like this one. A real delight! Thank you so much 😍👏✨💖

[@ady1gilb]

Agreed! Delightful to see Matt smiling and having such a good time!!! No more dark, pouty & moody Matt faces !!! Hooray!😆👍🏻

EVERYONE WAS SO HAPPY!!!!!! Human and Horses. They loved it. Chase took the jump really well,,,, then was scared of that big old scary log. 😂😂😂. I had so much fun watching it all!!!!!!! When I had my very first horse I would ride to the park from my home, pack a lunch and be gone most of the day. He would do that little trot all the way home. I miss those days , but have many fond memories. Make memories!!!!💕💖💕💖

Guys this was such a good video. Thank you for having us on this trail with you. Such a pleasure

Loved the jump and encouragement from Matt. Jesse on Chase so nice! I have friends with performance horses who also trail ride for the fun and enrichment for their horse, keeps mind of horse balanced! 🐎🐎🐎

Etro looked so excited and totally calm and at peace at the same time. Seems like they loved it too.

How wonderful, I felt like I was riding along with the two of you! Happy Birthday Matt, I’m so glad you got to do something you loved with your person and horses you love 💛

This is the best kind of riding ❤ You have to go back when everything is green and the trees are full!

[@CountyClaire]

Greetings from the Horse Capital of the World....I thoroughly enjoyed watching the trail ride! Yes!!! Please do more of them. I feel like I have been in the woods on a lunch break. Handsome riders.,.,.beautiful horses! I'm surprised you have not been asked to do a movie with horses. :)

[@zeevon9]

Oh yeah, more trail rides. I enjoyed watching, and you are correct Matt it’s relaxing to watch! Really enjoy all the videos you guys do.

That was beautiful and great fun! Brings back happy memories of riding out with my sister and brothers on our horses and ponies. Please share more of your trail rides!❤

[@shinebright3789]

ANOTHER ONE ADDED TO TOP FAVs from you two! 1. 2:33 Matt's excitement is so cute and such a joy to see ahaha. Never stop being this version of youu 2. 8:46 Jesse looks like an angel ! ( Well, we all know he is an angel on earth) 3. 13:18 Jesse ditching Matt 4. 28:15 Jesse taking up the adventure yet again ! and everything else was pure magic. MORE MORE MORE TRAIL RIDES PLEASE. This was so soothing.

[@miguelrocha7556]

The horses were great, you two were awesome. Seeing how much fun you two enjoy spending time together other than at the barn is fantastic. Nothing wrong with being the 12 year old girls on horses and enjoying life out on trails such as these keeps ones soul young and active. More of this trail riding please!

[@bttrflymagic]

I love seeing Etro out and about and having fun! And the thought you put into the outfits and the intentional tilt towards Saddle Club/Horseland really makes me beyond happy. I’m so glad you guys did something epic for your birthday!

[@vancouvervixen4253]

This was so cute ❤ I love how much fun you were having and how delighted the horses were, their ears at the beginning “ooooh what are we doing!!!” So good to take a load off and have a good time, even better when you can do it together!

[@jojos4x458]

More trail rides = both of you and both horses enjoyed this outing.

[@cathyd3012]

Wow. Etro & Chase were fantastic on the trail. It looked like they really enjoyed it.

[@cherylharless281]

I'ld like to see you do more trail rides because, in my opinion, it's better for the horses. When I grew up you worked on foundational stuff in the arena but then spent most of the time on trail rides. After watching lots of trainers, I feel that people are missing out on giving horses the opportunity to still be horses together on a trail. I realize that you might feel that riding in a large group of 15+ wouldn't work with stallions along, but how do you ever teach them to behave around mares and geldings? We gave stallions the space they needed and didn't take mares in heat, but other than that we didn't make a lot of concessions. (Of course the trails were on the 600 acre ranch where we were and we didn't have to trailer often). Young horses were ponied (with and without riders) to learn to behave and see how adult horses behaved. I think it was a much better way to live with horses. And yes, grab a couple of Go Pros and attach them to your helmets and go on loooong rides. Have a picnic and make it an all day thing.

[@audreymaqks]

I remember when Emperio got to go on a trail ride with Matt and his friend who had a a black Fresian stallion Emperio and Matt going through the woods was like a romantic novel

[@nicolelaurabr]

HB Matt 🎉 That was fun . Etro is such a beautiful horse and what a movement stunning😍!! I am realy impressed he has such a nice character.

[@suerussell6353]

I was blessed to have a love of horses with my dad and my sister. We would all trail ride together in the mountains of Oregon USA. My dad has passed now and those are some of my favorite memories. I have to say our horses weren't as fancy turned out as yours but we still enjoyed our ride😊😊

[@yvonneschouten8973]

Thanks for taking us along with your magnificent horses 🦄such a happy Video and trails are so fun as a diversion from arena training

[@valcour1812]

Loved this “Trail Day” event. Good for both of you, the horses and your guests here watching and enjoying every second. These rides through the country were by far always our best times together. The freedom and joy of the day was so special. Hope you do more. We also did bushwhacking where there were no trails. Lots of surprises.

[@thetenre8649]

Looked like a lot of fun (don't remember ever seeing Jesse riding Chase)...Happy Birthday to Matt and thanks for the vid ....many more happy trails !!

Great to see both of you enjoying some trail riding! Chase & Antro looked like they really enjoyed it too🏇

[@christinecharpentier9134]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this trail ride. It was so amazing watching both of you and the horses enjoying your day. Until I was in third grade I had my own ponies that I was learning horsemanship on. When my parents divorced, I lost my pony Ginger, as my mom took me from my home to another state. I’ve never gotten over that loss and throughout my adult life so far, I haven’t had the opportunity to own a horse. I now have a degenerative neurological disease called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and have lost the muscle required for riding. Your video let me go with you as if was riding again and I cannot tell you how much this means to me. I cried happy tears .

[@pirahna]

Maybe you've already thought of this, and maybe it's not an option for you, but just in case; have you considered driving?

[@nirawolfzo2515]

I LOVED horseland, the fact that you can live your childhood dream is the best thing, it was so fun watching this! You should definitely do it more often!

[@darrenhay5113]

Wonderful ride, very peaceful to watch. Could you go back in August when the Heather is in flower, it sounds magical.

[@ady1gilb]

Jesse on Chase!!! Finally!!! U both look superb!!! And Jesse, yr skill at handling & controlling Chase when he spooked was outstanding! You don't even have to think about what to do, you instinctively do exactly the right thing to keep him from running into trees or stumbling! You are an exceptional horseman! Congratulations on mastering this huge, massive powerhouse horse!!! ❤❤❤😊

[@chasingfences1302]

Agree! Jesse is a natural horse rider; you can see when Chase spooked and in his seat position when jumping. He instinctively is always in the correct position when riding.

[@shellysonnen5698]

So true that you have to for go the work sometimes to actually have fun with your horses! Especially when you have them at home. Endless jobs to do, and sometimes that takes all your time. Super fun to watch, and if you two weren't made for each other, ldk who is!!!❤

[@kathleenchild]

Love the trail ride and YES it is therapeutic to watch. More of these types of videos would be great as it shows the fun part of having horses. 🐎

[@nancyblake1679]

Oh thank you so much for taking us with you - 88, long past doing it myself- you are so generous to share with us ❤❤

[@pippilangstrumpf4329]

You are so much fun to watch 😍 I´d like to come with you the next time 🥰 I love to see Chase again 💖

[@vwvw4]

Lovely place to ride; I bet it smelled great, too! I spent so much of my youth trail riding, but always bareback, such a pleasure to spend time in the woods with a horse. Jesse's tiny spook episode when Chase saw the log and thought "Wolf!" was a great example of how the best horses can still be unpredictable and one has to stay aware, to keep themselves and their horse safe in those situations. You two are a blessing and a joy to watch. More trail ride videos, please.

[@chrisdouglass7962]

"feeds the soul" 😁 I have been waiting YEARS for this vlog!! 2 guys, 2 horses, on a hack ... THANK YOU Matt and Jesse!! 🥰🥰❤️ Both horses did great! ❤❤😊
