Oh Jesse!!! You did fantastic with “the Dad” trying to orchestrate EVERYthing.. 😁 .. it’s not easy getting on someone’s upper level horse, cause first a rider has to find their sweet spot of balance on a horse with much different gaits than you’re used to! Then once you’re “in the pocket” of their rhythm, you can then figure out the aids the horse knows via his training! I think you did a marvelous job!! KUDOS!!

Good for U Jesse, you did really good for not being use to him. I think you deserve alot of praise for having the confidence to get on the horse, clearly you two totally different types of riding. Matt did not do any better on your horse, well done Jesse don't be so hard on yourself.

[@michaelbrown-tf1so]

This was almost unbelievable. Matt being the perfectionist, Jesse being mister "love first, everything else second" ... but then, then, "the magic." When Jesse could take in everything Matt was saying, I (an untrained eye) could see the harmony, the moments when everything went together, Emporio and Jesse were as one. Beautiful. If I didn't see it, I would never have believed such a thing could happen. Words ... so inadequate. Thank you

[@annetteharvey4463]

Jesse, your calm within intensity is SUCH a skill! I can see that maybe Matt just wants to show off his baby and all he can do now, and wants Jesse to feel the horse he's developed! It's okay for him to just have a ride around too ;P Thanks for sharing!

[@michelineduvieusart2439]

In two years, Emporio has changed physically and become more confident. He is a powerful stallion successfully trained for dressage. Matt and Jesse are excellent equestrians but they have different riding styles, goals and personalities. Matt, perfectionist, gives a lot of information to Jesse who enjoys the experience with more informality and his usual good humour (the spurs... hilarious!!!). Nevertheless, Jesse did a great job. Well done! Thanks to the three of you for an interesting, entertaining and dynamic video. Love from Belgium 😍👏😂💙

[@chasingfences1302]

Matt: Maybe I don't tell you anything at first, you just do it how you want to Jesse: Are you sure? I wonder how long that is going to last ... Jesse giggles 😂😂🥰🥰 Jesse, you are so funny! 🥰🥰

[@mbatesart]

I love watching this. I know how hard it is to be on a powerful horse with a highly instructional coach giving lot's of directions and corrections and you have to assimilate that information while you have amazing forward horse power underneath you. You have to not irritate the horse, figure out exactly the parts of your body to move in just the right way...I totally get what Jesse is going through. BRAVO JESSE!

[@pamelastory6046]

“Pirouette in the middle, and you just don’t talk …” Jesse has such a soft, kind way…. Jesse didn’t want to stress out…Matt = perfectionist , and he is constantly talking / correcting but Jesse cannot quickly process not being used to the horse… I am sure it is a balance when riders have different styles and Matt knows his own horse so anticipates how to achieve the correct form. Very nice video and all are still friendly when it ends. Jesse thanks Emporio which was so sweet - a kiss for good measure! ❤

@@Adotworm I replied to your question before I got to the end of this video. Matt referred to himself here as "me being an overwhelming, overcontrolling dad and was all over it" so I think there is a bit of truth in the OCD.

Jesse is sensitive and Matt could tell he was overwhelmed at times during his ride today. 🥰

It’s hard to not want someone to ride your horse the way you ride them or wish them to be ridden.

Jesse did a wonderful job with him, they just each have their own riding styles, both are fantastic riders either way.

Schooling is a nightmare for me sometimes as I don't process all of the verbal commands and directions very well or fast enough, and then berate myself for every little mistake - stressful! You're trying to listen and remember your right and left and remember where E is and sometimes it's total overwhelm. It's also stressful to be out of your comfort zone and subject to even constructive criticism and I think you did really, really well Jesse.

It is such a joy to watch yours and Jesse’s relationship around all things equine.

Really enjoy watching you two work together, Jesse needs a little warm up especially with all the instructions Matt is giving,lol, but before you know it everyone is synced up. It must be so different riding such a big horse, Emporio sure is a beauty. Thanks Matt and Jesse, always a pleasure.

[@nannalauridsen]

It is really interesting watching how Emporio reacts to a rider with different riding than you. You can really see how he tries to understand Jesse and how his body reacts to him in another way than he does to you. Him and you are like a buttered machene together because you know each other so well. The small mistakes are less obvious and now you can really see how well Emporio is ridden because he really wants to understand Jesse and he's also doing a really good job considering riding with a double bridle and spurs is not his typical choice of tack. Thank you for this great video, it's really entertaining and educading for a rider like me who shares a lot of similarities to the way Jesse rides.

[@audreymaqks]

Emperio is an Awesome Stallion. Smart and cooperative. Jesse and Matt have different styles but both accomplished riders. Matt's German heritage comes out in his self disciplined style which is a good thing. Jesse is so easy going. Don't think I could have finished the ride.

[@nannalauridsen]

@@audreymaqks I have tried riding high level educated horses and also stallions before, but not a combination of the two. Although i think Emporio is a super rolemodel for his breed and gender and seems easier to handle than most stallions, i can still see the tecnicalities of riding a horse like this with such defined and fine signals and such power, Matt and Jesse both do a great job riding him as i know it's not as easy as it looks.

This is exactly what the pet psychic said about Emporio. That he wants to be a top dressage horse.

[@WolfieSilveira]

Its really nice to see the difference between Jesse and Matt, they are both amazing in their own right. You can really feel the professionalism from Matt, that he is really focused on so many things at once, how it looks and how to perfect things. Where Jesse is more natural and relaxed, for him the Horse doesn’t have to obey him, for him its a dance between them both. He wants something from the horse, but the horse needs to feel itself too and feel free. I can for sure understand how Jesse is feeling, because this is so different from his own style and with his adhd its really hard to get a lot of information at once, when its not something you are used to or comfortable with. But he did amazing and they are both really amazing.

[@Anishi.]

Jesse, you ride with a lot of feeling, that's very nice to look at.

[@TheMaisiewoofwoof]

It's so different getting on a horse like Emporio. A lot of people ride horses that are well schooled but the jump to a powerful competition horse is like going from a Fiesta to a Ferrari. It's intimidating!!! What I love about all their horses is the temperament they've nurtured in them. They're all such sweet animals. I'd love to see Jesse on Etro but I'd also love to see Matt ride Gaio to see what Gaio can actual do seeing as he was well trained for Bull Fighting.

[@anniefitt8623]

Poor Jesse! Matt, you’re throwing a LOT at him all at once.😅 Emporio is looking so magnificent these days.

[@lindafreij4749]

I think both your styles are highly diffrent. Matt trains Emporio in one way and he probably wants Jesse to experience him fully to see how much he has learned. But what Matt dosen't realyze is that it dosen't matter, the ride gets to tecnical and Jesse zones out. He plans his ride by feeling, Matt plans his ride by performance. That dosen't mean that Jesse isn't a skilled rider, more so that he has to get a feel of the horse first and then decide what his plan for the ride is. Matt is very skilled and is very diciplined and I understand that he dosen't see a training session in the arena as a joyride. But I also think he needs to lower his expectations a bit, espesically when someone with a whole other riding style rides his horses. But great work, Jesse, you are a really great rider and I think riding Emporio was great for you even though it's not your typical way of riding. And Matt Emporio is stunning! You have done great work with him! Next time with Etro let him have a feel first and then correct him so you don't over do it and I think Jesse has more training then people give him credit for, he just don't ride his horses in that style and that is ok. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Jesse = the patience of a Saint Matt - God bless him - is the epitome of a ‘Mother Hen’ Jesse might not have all the technical detail down pat, but neither did the likes of Hester or Dujardin in the early days.

A lot of riders have the technical prowess but the magic really comes from the strong relationship and bond one has with their horses. Something many overlook. Jesse has that gift.

Jesse you did a wonderful job for this intense instruction. you guys ...love you.

[@tjitskevanklaarbergen6985]

Jesse is so sweet and gentle

[@lizweber4996]

Amazing , i still cant get over how different emporio looks in a walk casual compared to head held back and moving forward... almost like a second mold!!! I really enjoyed jesse riding him. It just goes to show how well trained your horse is and the difference in the ways you both ride and the way your horses are different in riding styles. Id really enjoy seeing jesse ride etro!!! In fa t id like to see you ride him as well matt!!! You were doing a month by month but then mustve gotten busy with the shows. Thank you for sharing!!!

I just absolutely love Jesse and his approach, i adore you 2 as a duo. ♥️

Fun times always!! *(edited to add)* on second view one realizes how hard it is to ride someone elses horse when they are watching. Jesse was hitting overload in try to take it all in and possibly being afraid of making a mistake. I thought Matt handled it well because sometimes you want to freak out but doing that would have been a mess. This is what really knowing a person does for you.

I love how you are just such beautiful horsemen in your own way. Jessie, you are so compassionate and supple and in tune through gentleness. And Matt, you are such a correct dressage rider and also so in tune with the horse. It's very entertaining to watch you two together as you both bring such unique horsemanship to the table and of course are both so cute and funny together! I always enjoy when your videos pop up:) 💕

Emporio is an excellent horse, and Matt is a great trainer/instructor. I know it seems like he is overwhelming Jesse but that is just two different personalities. In high level competition instruction I would have killed to have a trainer like Matt, very blunt, direct, clear, but also quite kind and forgiving of mistakes. Great video!!

[@cchapman753]

I loved this video because for the first time I could actually SEE the subtle differences in the movements when Jesse made the changes as Matt directed him. Cool video!!!

“I’m just trying to figure it out can you chill for a sec!?” Relatable 💀😂

Riding a different horse AND such a large and strong horse as Emporio had to have been a great challenge. I was exhausted for you Jesse. It might have been helpful to have had a verbal tutorial ahead of riding. Or is it more effective while you’re riding? It seemed a lot of information at one time, and when you ride the movement is so quick you don’t really register the change. My brain would have been concentrating on staying on and not tipping over and falling off. But I’m not a professional at all. But I’m sure the thought went through his mind. Well done Jesse. You’d did very well. A lot to take in. Emporio did well too. Matt, I compliment you on your patience and knowledge in your teaching. You both have such a great sense of humor. I enjoy it very much. Yes, it will be interesting to see Jesse ride Etro.

[@chasingfences1302]

OMG, so funny Jesse: I do pirouette here in the middle, you just don't talk, and then it will work 😍😍😂😂

[@bonnietoriani3189]

What a great video!!!!!!! . Your both beautiful souls. 💕💕This horse has a special place in my heart. You both be you!!!!!! Beautiful partnership, love, compassion and always a sense of humor But most of all the love you have for your animals💕💕💕💕💚

[@bttrflymagic]

Jesse, your spur gambit was AMAZING!!

[@sisseljoensen9649]

it was really fun to see Jesse on Emporio, I thought you guys should make it a series where you switch horses so it's not just once a year, because you are such different riders and can definitely learn something from each other and each other's horses. and it could be super cool to see Jesse at Etro :D

[@BrooklynHudson]

My core muscles ache just watching this. Great job, Jesse. Matt, you've done incredible work with this beautiful horse.

[@patriciafdz1]

You did great Jesse. You are such a natural rider.

[@smellyolegoat150]

This was so much fun. I really love seeing you guys work together and with the horses. Yes, I would love to see Jesse on Etro.

[@lynnes11]

Wow, it's amazing that we can get along with our trainers and our horse/barn friends--Matt and Jesse obviously care for and respect one another and even THEY differ on what's best for the horse, how to interact with the horse, etc. I saw an interview with Boyd Martin once and he said that he and his wife couldn't share a barn or else they would end up divorced LOL. This really goes to show how individual we all are in interacting with our horses. There are as many opinions as there are riders! ;-)

[@carlaperry1784]

Matt you really have your horse going great. Jesse you did fantastic. How wonderfully cool!
