DRESSAGE HORSE TRIES SHOWJUMPING || MATT HARNACKE - PART 2

[@sophiem8451]

Us showjumpers need to take note: heaps of quality and purposeful flatwork training = better jumping technique

[@lizziesmith2145]

Sophie HM agreed

[@minstride5169]

Sophie C I used to hate doing dressage and any type of flat work and only ever wanted to jump but then I went to pony club camp and had a dressage instructor and I actually really enjoyed it and found some really fun exercises so I have started doing much more it’s not as bad as I used to think 😂

[@bunker123sugar]

Us show jumper do basic dressage to get their horses supple.

[@MissJody100]

Chase is such an old soul. He is very wise and enjoys Matt immensely. Love watching the two of you.

[@emilybowen3853]

He was so good at jumping for the first time. He was really listening to you and you really carried him through it!!!

[@pinkfluffyunicorn3660]

Emily Bowen It wasn‘t the first time...

[@madisynballantyne3121]

[@katiewillett4048]

* Refuses jump* “ oh hello.. Hello”

[@JesseDrent]

Im so impressed by how you do everything!! And Chase loves everything as well! Love to watch this and its so impressive!! Power duo 💪🏾

[@madisonmoran4771]

I love Matt and you guys' channels

[@bjh10x3]

Hi Jesse

[@bjh10x3]

I know thisnwas 3 years ago tho

[@snuitable]

nice job Matt! I think the sitting place of your instructor is genius :P

[@floortje_v2095]

Snuitable its cool to see you here i love your vids so much

[@michelevanmaasdijk]

ik zie een nieuwe aflevering jouw paard mijn paard aankomen hahaha.

[@Ilse_77]

Hey Snuitable! Ik hou van je video's

[@marieadriaensen7293]

ga je met hem ook een aflevering van jouw paard mijn paard doen

[@shiannej8594]

Matt his mouth makes me feel sick try with out a bit. I hate bit I really hate bits not being rude or anything

[@stephanglim7192]

Chase is quite a nice jumper, he gives a nice shape (bascule) over the jumps! You have a lovely position as well!

[@jodiemayfoley874]

Grand Pegasi Equestrian I'm not too sure about position

[@antayafairless9028]

Jodie May Foley for never jumping? It is amazing..lol

[@kayleeb8886]

Is he usually a dressage rider?

[@antayafairless9028]

Kaylee B yes.

[@pinkfluffyunicorn3660]

He is jumping more than one time. He still be a dressage rider, as a showjumper not so good, but as a dressage rider it‘s okey...

[@maartjejansen8241]

You ride him so well! You stay very calm, and you can really see that he trusts you! He is such a nice horse, and i think he really liked it ;)

[@theolopez3299]

yeah you can tell when horses like what they are doing and who is riding them, and Chase was so calm and wonderful the whole time. you could tell he really trusted matt.

[@chantallegie6912]

I love it how you reward chase everytime he does something good😍

[@DACEinthehouse]

@@minxi9646 do you know anything of horses?

[@HughLlewellyn]

This video was a real pleasure to watch. Chase is an honest, engaged horse who seemed to like his change of pace with jumping, and I enjoyed watching you ride. Thanks for posting this! I used dressage as the foundation for everything else I trained my Arabian gelding to do. I never competed in dressage, because what I really wanted was an excellent trail horse, who I could ride anywhere, and be able to have a confident, trusting partner in my travels. I got that. Over 24 years together we showed (fun shows, mostly trail & pleasure classes as well as driving) we explored the forests & trails of northern Illinois & southern Wisconsin, we sleighed in winter, we swam in lakes in summer. Dressage helped give me the horse of my dreams. RIP Ariel, you are always in my heart.

[@kadeapplegate9310]

Finally a male english rider. There are barley any male riders let alone male english riders. Glad to see it, keep making videos!

[@clh7745]

There are lots of male riders, you just don't really see them in the lower levels. Most of the best riders in the world are males. Such a Mclain Ward, or Rodrigo Pessoa.

[@katk7505]

lol many more women that ride than men. boys seem to lose interest when they hit puberty, even if theyve grown up on horses XD

[@XxXBabyButtonsXxX]

Over here in competition it's mainly men !

[@alexxpatti7704]

There are tons or male English riders wth you talking about

[@Laurensji]

In Ireland more males ride in top showjumping than women

[@malins5841]

Duude, you have to keep making videos! Dont stop. They're really good and informative, and also a good variety from other horse-related youtubers. You're the only male rider I've seen here on youtube, and we need more of you! Keep going and I'm sure you'll inspire more guys to try out horseback riding.

[@emmonstrex65]

Chase is the most chill horse I've seen in a long time! He trusts you completely. Seems he likes jumping.

[@JustNickofTime]

Love the little pats Chase gets when you thank him

[@rachelandres2652]

Chase is literally the most beautiful and amazing horse ever! Especially with how easily he adapts to new tasks and is so trusting to try new things! Great job with jumping Matt!

[@charliejade9790]

That flying change made my heart flutter.

[@scotlynbenge1699]

dude same!! i thought i was the only one who noticed

[@kayleeb8886]

It was ok

[@ning_dungie]

Kaylee B IT WAS GREAT

[@harrietfindlay7195]

You're so lucky he looks like a natural jumper! He jumps better than my horse whose only been jumping for a few months now but then she's a 14hh 4 year old cob compared to a 17.2hh warmblood 😂 But Chase is such a lovely horse, I've seen videos of dressage horses trying to jump and they just freak out and stag jump it but Chase was so calm ☺️

[@rozalynequestrian8902]

Harriet Findlay I have a 14hh 5 year old cob too 😂 what colour is yours ?

[@memydogsandi]

He's such a relaxed and responsive horse. Even when faced with something new, his ears are forward with the occasional flick towards you when you give an instruction. Wonderful horse and great rider.

[@caseymetcalfe2248]

Chase could dub as a cute hunter eq horse, all round and collected. Good job Matt and Chase!

[@emilychilds9551]

What I wouldn't give for a lesson with George Senna!! Even with such a short video you can tell how good of an instructor he is.

[@suzannevisser]

Chase is a nice jumper, love your videos!

[@paulaperry3720]

So glad to see that you are super gentle when getting Chase to jump. I've seen so many riders at shows jump whip their horses with their crop when they are fearful or refuse a jump. Your horses are so blessed to have you for their caregiver and rider.

[@lclarke7280]

Lovely, the cross training is so good for them physically and mentally. Glad to see him deke the one jump....makes me feel SO much better when the pros make mistakes too.

[@nlbhaduri]

Thank you Matt for showing the good and not so good in your attempts at new things. This makes me feel like I can do it to! Chase is a wonderful horse with such a willing heart.

[@phyllisnunn2061]

Almost hurts to look at this horse, he SO beautiful!! And seems so sweet! ❤

[@littleme6693]

I love this video. You can really see your bond and the instructor is very nice. Constantly wanting results but not pushing to hard, giving good advice, being calm I absolutely love the way he teaches

[@stephanglim7192]

Just noticed throughout the whole video your right Freejump stirrup is facing the wrong way (the inner branch is on the outside and the flexible outer brand is on the inside). The red is meant to be on the outside and the black on the inside.

[@olliethehorse2198]

Grand Pegasi Equestrian me too! It annoyed me so much! 😳

[@twiggytoesdosestressage2624]

Grand Pegasi Equestrian same I noticed that too

[@Megsfallon]

Plus his left freejump is on the wrong way round, the hook always goes on the front with the 'shelf' part on the back.

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

His sturrips were also way too long

[@oakiedokieee]

TheNonMakeupGuru well he is originally a dressage rider, and if he made the stirrups any shorter his knee would be over the saddle flap. If you aren't jumping very high you don't need super short stirrups

[@louise7202]

Its really nice to see such a volunteer and curious horse with a really kind and patient rider ! This channel is truly helpful to me since I'm French and I'm supposed to travel to the US this summer and ride there, so I'm learning a bit more of the horseriding vocabulary while enjoying nice videos, advices and this horse which is absolutely stunning. I'm a huge fan of dressage (I do both showjumping & dressage) when it is done with respect and kindness, which is everything I see in the way you treat and ride him. Glad I've discovered your channel !

[@rubyrogers2210]

Wait has Matt jumped before, his position when he jumps is near 👌 perfect, I love watching these videos, I love how he pushes chase just out of his comfort zone but not tooo much . Matt is such a good rider and Chase listens to Matt so good you can barely see Matt’s instructions for Chase, Well done. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alexfaust5414]

i love how real this is. you show his refusals and mistakes and how you learn from them. you and chase are lovely. 👏👏

[@VictoriasHorsevlog]

so well done! you kept calm and rode on! hope this wasn't the last part :))

[@mals5575]

Oh du auch hier! xD

[@jodyhuston1516]

What a Sweetheart Chase is ! Game for new experiences ! I really agree horses need a variety of situations to keep their minds and bodies healthy, alert and challenged . Despite a bit sweaty , Chase looked happy and satisfied at the end of his lesson . You looked great too, Matt !

[@chloemarceau5884]

Your trainer is amazing

[@suzannejenkins2534]

Your ground work has paid off. This horse absolutely trusts you. Beautiful!!!!!

[@ronjaholz601]

I could watch you the hole day, just Loving your ridingstyle. (GERMANY LOVES YOU)

[@LifeinCamoMedia]

You have an insanely amazing seat and leg in every transition. I haven’t shown or ridden a horse in over 25 years, but I still enjoying watching your videos.

[@glennashwood9716]

Chase's reaction to the jump- OwO WHAT'S THIS *hops*

[@liferockfarm]

The commentary on how to start this horse over fences is SO helpful. I hope to enjoy as much success!

[@danielabackstrom]

I noticed that the right stirrup is turned the wrong way, now I can't stop looking at it haha

[@saffronmccarthy1806]

Life with Daniela why did u say that lolll

[@evyottevanger7500]

Lovely to see how good the bond between you and Chase is. You can see he totally trust you even at something he don't know. I think it very special it's not just riding a horse but also have a bond with it and with you and Chase it's just the perfect combination. Can't wait to see you in Holland

[@carolinschroeter4548]

Chase is just gorgeous!! He's jumping very well, this is so cool :D

[@nicolebinke9937]

This horse is a true beauty! He is so calm and collected over the plows and jumps, wonderful!! You guys are such a great pair! One day I want to train my horse to be like him!!

[@dtshowjumping4301]

You should try him in eventing cause he’s careful and is very good at using his body

[@lilyp6949]

He is doing it

[@Dylan-ez5qx]

I love how chase lights up when he sees the jump. He looks so happy before and after and it’s adorable!! Also amazing position. Rlly good!!

[@evaveer]

Wow! Chase is such a good jumper😍 dream team!!

[@Cr7TheGoat7g]

Wow, I’m impressed for a dressage horse to jump this well! Great job keep up the great work!

[@equisoul9399]

Like it! And the quality of your camera is just 😍🙏

[@bonblue4993]

Chase has to be the mellowest horse I have ever seen. And he is beautiful too. How nice!!!

[@LunaEclipse2010]

I happened to just stumble across your videos, I have no idea who you are but I really enjoy watching you ride. Its lovely to see a skilled and kind horseman.

[@Puckylover77]

You’re such a good rider! And Chase is jumping very good too! Good luck with training!😄

[@MakeupbyRocky]

Wow. Just stunning to look at. You guys look made for each other. You fit perfectly on him and he’s just a beautiful horse.

[@kiriequestrian3153]

Chase is SUPER gorgeous! He is such a nice horse!

[@frejabruus3014]

So nice to see how cool Chase is, and how he trusts you to not take him through something he can't handle! Lots of horses would be freaked by the things underneath the poles in the beginning, but he took it like a champ!

[@lilikulcsar919]

I love this video too, as the part 1😍😍 And Chase jumping style is so wonderful😉😉🔝🔝🔝🐴

[@jacquelinellewellyn85]

Great job Chase and Matt you were so patient, you guided him and praise him. You are teaching Chase coincidence and it shows. Nice! Thanks for the video. I would like to see more.

[@athinaweel5779]

I'm in love with your horse😍 You have so nice equipment😍

[@ayavanhells4209]

Chase is such a good horse! And very brave. I've seen dressage horses having major freakouts about small 'hops'. He just takes it all in stride!

[@teodoraaldea967]

OMG, what a beautiful man 😍😍❤️❤️😔😔He looks like a prince

[@kayleelarson4786]

What a gorgeous horse and he’s such a natural! You two work so well together.

[@nicoleb1563]

okay next barrel racing

[@henriettaharrold6113]

Mustang Barrel Racer you can't do barrel racing with with a dressage horse

[@nicoleb1563]

henriette oakheart right because only a specific horse can lope around 3 barrels. girl please, any horse can lope around 3 barrels.

[@addicted.to.jumping6227]

Henriette I have a level two dressage horse who does jumping, cross country, barrel racing, pole bending, and western pleasure. Just because a horse is trained in one specific discipline does not mean they can't do another :)

[@addicted.to.jumping6227]

Also, we've placed in show jumping, barrel racing, pole bending, and western pleasure :) (haven't been able to get to a dressage show yet as there haven't been any my trainer has gone to)

[@reiningmypalomino5168]

henriette oakheart heCAN do it. He might not be the best but he can still do it.

[@eellee3579]

Matt is a really good rider. He knows how to ride the horse correctly and I love to see him pat the horse after the jumps💗 Great work!

[@laureanebrb7607]

I'm a dressage rider and my problem is that I can't ride on a jumping saddle 😂 I need my long stirrups ! Just go on with your videos and your horse, you're the best! ❤️

[@iam3.14yearsold6]

im the opposite, i cant stand dressage saddles. I can get used to them after a bit of riding in one but i prefer a jumping saddle or a GP any daut

[@equestriantexan3535]

i have long legs to but i can't stand long stirrups. I find it difficult to keep my heels down with longer stirrups. I probably sound crazy, lol!

[@Emily-he4mb]

Equestrian Texan same

[@lias5188]

Hunter jumper for a happy medium???

[@hopehoadley8529]

I feel you too I feel trapped in short stirrups.

[@mallorys728]

Chase is so adorable! His disposition is great and he's quite versitile!

[@evashore1503]

since you haven't posted much I don't know if you have jumped before but your position is really good the only thing I would say is to give release over the jump. It's not dressage your hands do need to move.

[@evashore1503]

Your horse was very good for it's first time jumping with a nice shape. Most warmbloods can jump though so that's a bonus point

[@crowelee978]

Eva Shore I agree. I would like to see a bit more release over the jumps. Thankfully, they're small.

[@crowelee978]

Your horse is gorgeous. Very nice smooth mover. Looks natural over the jumps. Would like to see a little more release over them. They're small but a release is good you want the "spring" to be released. I also would have went over the jump he refused again because you don't want the horse to get used to not jumping after a refusal. It's a nasty habit to break. Otherwise everything looks good. Love how the trainer is thorough in explaining and helping you along.

[@XxXBabyButtonsXxX]

I don't think he's looking for critique from people over the internet 😂 he was having a lesson so will have got all the tips he needed .

[@XxXBabyButtonsXxX]

From a professional

[@morgen6832]

Wow! For your first time trying out show jumping with Chase, that wasn't bad. Looked pretty great honestly, except for that one jump where he balked and went the other way. I actually have done dressage the most and have only recently gotten into jumping with my current riding instructor. I've only had one lesson of jumping though, but I'm sure I'll have another one at some point in the future. She does mainly dressage, so that's mostly what I do with her. Chase is such a beautiful horse and I absolutely love how you ride him, as well as give him pets every time he does the right thing. That's always so important, especially if you are doing something completely new with him. Unfortunately, my horse at the moment is 20+ years old and due to a former injury, is no longer ridable. He used to do dressage moves too though, but he's a thoroughbred. Very sweet though. Wonderful video though Matt. You and Chase are a terrific team and I wish you luck in your show jumping career, as well as Chase. Peace to you both!

[@chance2080]

Ok. can we just talk about how gorgeous this horse is 😍😍😍

[@elinajarkebro1555]

What a beautiful horse, dressage horses are def the most pleasing to the eye!

[@chantallegie6912]

He is a dressage and jumping horse haha! Great! You don't even need an extra jumping horse.😂

[@nicoley.7429]

I didn't watch the whole video, just skimmed through, but it looks like he took to jumping quite naturally! Product of very good flat work. I had to leave a compliment since you two were such a pleasant pair to watch. Great rider and great horse.

[@ClaireDoesTooMuch]

I really like the way you seem to encourage him with pats. He looks really happy to work with you.

[@veek.6463]

This is also a good, calming trainer. I appreciate the reinforcement understanding of it was a rein or leg issue and how to address that. What a nice rider you are. Am sure that horse X a go to the top of the FEI. Am a hunter jumper rider who focuses on big equitation. Had won the AHSA medal as a junior and didn't not go professional but rather kept showing. Retired a couple years ago after high points in state zone and nation. I. Trained dressage for 4 years as an adult to become a great equitation rider and trained my main horse with me. Practically unbeatable on the flat due to the formal dressage work. But any dressage horse can benefit from small jumping. It's fun.

[@AaliyahSwordstorm]

how do you stay so dang still in the saddle?! teach me your tricks 😭😂

[@GetReady4LiftOff]

Mia had great channel w horses but doesn't now. just looking at these beautiful animals is worth your time and music makes it even better...chases color is stunning.

[@justalilhel1753]

I love seeing a horse take to multiple tasks. I think it’s good for them mentally if you do it right. Prevents dullness and Boredom in my opinion. Love your care and how you ride. He is such a nice horse seem such an honest gent.

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

I think it's nice to do different stuff and he seemed to enjoy himself too so hopefully you can do it at home just for his pleasure.

Oh wow this is funny. As if jumping a dressage horse is something you would never get to see😂 here in Germany it's quite common and asked for that any horse should be able to do dressage, small jumps and go out hacking no matter what you are trying to accomplish. It's part of the basic training any horse should undergo and do so regularly.
