What I wouldn't give to be able to come down and ride with you to expand my knowledge. You are an amazing horseman so down to earth, and I love all of your videos!

[@lindahermstad5375]

WOW ! Beautiful incredible talent both horse and trainer rider

[@myronschabe]

Have you had this horse on your youtube channel? By Spook's Gotta Whiz I think I heard...heard they are really nice, with great minds...this guy is a real looker.

[@liz6595]

This is gonna sound weird but legit finally a rider that isnt the color of snow. I grew up in a half white/black family. And I have always LOVED horses. I adore them. And it's very hard to find riders from different ethnicities and cultures.

[@mattmillsreining1]

I appreciate it! I fortunately was exposed early in life. 🤙🏾💯👍🏾

[@crystalbrewster5265]

Did he pop off a shoe on the second slide?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Sure did! Good eye!

[@dianepeoples3902]

Beautiful horse and rider!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thanks! 😉💯〽️

[@wassssngt2040]

Did any one notice on 3:20 the shoe fell off?

[@stephneygreen]

did he loose a shoe at 3:23?

[@katec708]

100% he did

[@arabellaclark3249]

Where are your show pads from?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Golden West

[@nelsonhundley2564]

Great job Matt . keep up the good work . the guy being a negative nelly obviously hasn't watched many of your videos . the horses are treated very well . would love to do this someday.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Hey, thanks for watching!

[@ddunning6207]

Right? His horses look and act great. None of them have mental issues that many develop in show barns. Keeping them mentally healthy is the most important part.

[@ratherbwithhorses]

That's a beautiful saddle pad!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thanks! I can’t take the credit on that. It’s all my wife Karen! 😎💯〽️

[@ddunning6207]

Like your riding style. Has some animation.

[@muddypaws]

Hi I've just started binging your channel but I know that's Karen screaming in the stand..🐾💚

[@katiebutland292]

What flew off in the run?

[@mattmillsreining1]

I believe it was a front shoe!

[@katiebutland292]

@@mattmillsreining1 thanks for clarifying i thought is was his left front but then I second guessed myself😂

[@dollyhodgins5993]

Wohoo

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again Matt Nice!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Hi! Carl’s so cool!

[@luisortega6489]

Que cuaconon !!👍

[@mattmillsreining1]

He’s a good one!

[@luisortega6489]

Yes sir..

[@leese7420]

I love Horses, am a trainer, competitor, breeder....but it broke my heart when this horse came in the arena. This horse and all trained in this discipline....I just get sad to see how unnatural they are.

[@mattmillsreining1]

I’m sad that I couldn’t have you to my facility for a day. Best of Luck!

[@lucasa1849]

What kind of horses do you train, compete and breed? Cause you seem very uneducated on reining.

[@chiarahorvatova6699]

What kind of horse trainer u are honestly ? You dont seem to be educated at this point at all

[@ratherbwithhorses]

Why do watch if it makes you sad? And then the urge to spread sad takes somehow, really don't watch stuff that incites such bad feelings.

[@tarasweeney9242]

My mustang carried himself like a quarter horse straight out of the wild. If his head gets any lower he will trip on it. Nice round lope. Doesn't get any more natural than that, and quarter horses have wild horse ancestry. Breeders just selected for the ones that look and move a certain way.
