[@missSOFIA7]

Aaww I cried when Matt said goodbye to his family and friends 😭

[@gaelcrane8008]

Sofia B. You cried?? Are you serious?

[@missSOFIA7]

gael crane I got pretty emotional, yes. It was moving to me.

[@gaelcrane8008]

Sofia B. Sorry I questioned, at first I didn’t think u were serious bc I see this comment often but now I see u were serious. Its nice u r a caring person, we need more people out there like u, I think it’s great to be sentimental. A friend recently turned me on to his Chanel, seems like a great guy.

[@nakishanester9629]

same

[@missSOFIA7]

gael crane Yeah, I always watch Matt’s videos, I think he’s a great human being just by the fact that he brought his horse with him. I would do the same with my horse if I moved far away from home. Yeah seeing his mum cry especially made me tear up. I’m quite an emotional girl 😂

[@oceanark77]

God Bless his parents. My eyes filled with tears seeing his mom so upset. His parent's should be so very proud. They have raised such a polite, kind hearted son!

[@Jjules-zo5fr]

Me too I certainly welled up!

[@fennab2179]

Okay, i just want to say that: yes he has a lot of expensive and pretty brand stuff. But why does that matter? It also shows that he wants the best for his horse right? the equastrian sport is all about brands and sponsors.yes he is a nice guy to look at we all know that but that is not the only reason we watch. This video is awesome too watch because he is sooo nice too everyone and especially his horse. Good luck in the netherlands matt! I hope you like it here ;)

[@lillidebernardi9014]

Fenna Banana\Bouwmeester totally agreed

[@countessratzass5408]

Fenna Banana\Bouwmeester Matt isn’t just another pretty face. He has depth and character.

[@amysiciliani6517]

Yeah, I didn't want to like him. But he is super genuine and real and a real horse person who cares about and understands his horse. He's a good guy that I would be glad to call friend if I knew him.

[@chellefell1331]

horses are peoples babies... they get the best of everything... I always made sure I got mine the most comfy stuff... blankies, padded halters, you name it.. if it looked like it would hurt me and my skin, my baby didnt get it either

[@anonymixx8106]

@@amysiciliani6517 same tbh I always am hesitant of pettubers especially those that do big brand deals. Matt follows through and is so diplomatic in speaking up about issues while also setting a positive influence.

[@julie1718]

This is better than any netlix series😻

[@KathrynJennieEst]

Jxlie 1 So true!

[@sannedolsma8203]

True!

[@moby4444]

Or Nat Geo! I sure didn't plan on watching all of this but once I started... I imported my Australian Kelpie pups from Italy and the Czech Republic on Lufthansa and KLM Dutch Airlines to Seattle and it is an amazing process with stops at the animal Hotels in Amsterdam and Frankfurt, (I believe Frankfurt, it's been a few years). Matt did a remarkable job making the arrangements, in his modeling work and personal life. For his level of sophistication, Matt seems well-grounded and his family deserves a lot of credit for the fine young man he apparently has become. I have always encouraged my son to take advantage of any travel opportunities and exposure to other cultures that he can. Travel makes you a more well-rounded individual!

[@edtlymad1853]

Yes!

[@finyvanriel7242]

The intro is still so beautifull😻

[@cindyislearningitthehardwa8203]

Oh my, the best thing a parent can hear, “thank you for everything.” Tears.

[@cindyislearningitthehardwa8203]

How exciting and terrifying

[@ldg2655]

The nice thing about finding this channel a year later is that I can binge-watch all of the travel episodes..... Lol

[@trenarichardson690]

I’ve been binge watching for 2 days

[@charlotteallen4265]

Loving this series so much ❤️❤️

[@PaulBrennan.]

Matt comes across as such a nice, well mannered and grounded young man, really enjoying following his story.

[@rachelkelly512]

Mom, I feel your pain and your pride. Amazing job raising your son.

[@amydavis4945]

Omg, I know how this turns out, but I'm literally on the edge of my seat watching this series. Matt, you are an amazing young man and you are truly blessed... not just with good looks, but you are clearly quite intelligent, your modelling has brought you a very comfortable income (from the look of it), but above all, you seem very down to earth and humble in many ways. Your parents must be (and should be!) so very proud of you! Now, on to episode 4!

[@MelinaSchepers]

Aaah I am cryingg... all those people will miss you so much, and apart from that you are doing what is impotant for your life! And I find that so beautiful 😍

[@sticktopapayas2447]

I’ve known Matt for a long time but didn’t really watch his KZbin channel, just started watching him and Jesse a few days ago. I immediately fell in love with them two I mean their channels and videos (but they look sooo handsome for sure xD). I just started watching this series and like... I cried from 0:00 to 22:43, this is very beautiful and I mean not the video itself, but that he has done what he’s wanted for so long, and nowadays, that’s not a thing that anyone could do. He has money for sure but I think not because he was born into a rich family, rather because he worked for it. There are people who simply just want to be rich without any reason. Well, Matt used his money for good and he still does! He’s not only a pretty guy with some awesome horses and tack. He’s somebody who made it to the finishline. One part of his dreams came true and that’s really amazing. He has a big future. Love him xx (late and long comment but thanks for reading it :”D)

[@karmenrichardson7289]

So good to see his affection for Chase. That’s what pulled the horse through this difficult journey. He trust Matt.😊👍❤️

[@miriw.4273]

His mom is so lovely. I cry with her. I think this is the hardest part of a mom.. Letting go

[@elinpetruschat6187]

This series is so amazing. Your journey has been so incredibly and it just keep getting better!!

[@tarthart5701]

aww, as a mother myself I immediately teared up when your mom started to cry!

[@emmasimpson5525]

Matt, this is stunning. I've fought back the tears watching this series, you and chance are so special, you've got so much coming for you, I hope your journey is going well. Your millions of fans are all watching in anticipation for the next episode, lots of love from the UK xx

[@Jessica66605]

Omg when you first told your parents they had to say goodbye at the stables I could feel your moms heart break, when she asks to have the camera away I couldn’t hold it back anymore. So hard to see your kids grow up and live their lives but at the same time you’re so proud and so happy that they can follow their dreams

[@chloebaxter6804]

i'm not crying, you're crying

[@judithryle2113]

Great parents. Where is steve

[@judithryle2113]

I hope chase lives many many years

[@shannonplatt3127]

You are truly lucky you were able to take your horse with you! One of my hardest days was saying goodbye to mine! He’s lucky to have you and you him ❤️

[@gaildoan1809]

I’m literally on the edge of my seat! My heart goes out to his mom & dad 😢 Great coverage. I agree with the comments, better than Netflix 👍🏻

[@john-dt6bq]

Hey Matt, If you’re nervous about your horse flying it doesn’t show! You and Chase have a calming effect on each other it seems! Really nice to watch! Not to mention You’re both easy to look at! Best of luck on your journeys!

[@nikkihenderson4560]

So much love for for and your horse. Those special bonds cannot be broken 💕❤️

[@UnicornPastelPrincess]

This is teaching me so Much about flying with your horse, I never knew you had to do and to think you could have just gone by yourself but no you took your horse with you and I love that, true friendship there with so much Love in as well.

[@morgen6832]

These videos and this story is just amazing and inspiring to me. I've been a horsewoman my whole life and I currently own a Thoroughbred, who was my aunt's, but after she passed he became ours. Chase is so beautiful and Matt looks like not just a wonderful rider, but a genuinely caring rider and person as well. I cried a little too when he said goodbye (sort-of) to his parents, but everyone deserves to pursue their dreams, whatever they may be. I've ridden horses practically all my life and have really grown as a rider myself to the point where I can canter independently and sponsor horses as well. Horseback riding is my passion and number one hobby for me and once I have my own place I, like Matt, plan to own my own horse one day. So, we have quite a bit in common when it comes to horses and ownership of a horse or horses. Plus, my family and I have been to Australia and stayed in Sydney and absolutely loved it. I wish you and Chase all the best on this journey that you're currently embarking on and hope that you and Chase find success in all that you do together. Take care of each other and yourself. #horses are wonderful.

[@cynthiabrown2806]

I am absolutely loving every episode of Chasing the Dream!!! I must confess I am just like your Mom. My son left home 7 years ago and I stilled cried with your Mom! Lol! As much as we love to see you fly, a big part still wishes you were little. Bittersweet. You have a fantastic future. Looking forward to the flight!

[@toomanythoroughbreds]

All I can say is WOW

[@nolaquev]

I know how hard it is saying goodbye to a son. My son left to The Netherlands 3 years ago from South Africa. One of the hardest days of my life. Thank goodness for technology.

[@hillarys.k8518]

Wow, that was a tear jerker. Love the series looking forward to the rest . I know this happened almost a year ago but is new to me.

[@ParisSophieEquestrian]

This is so fascinating!! I have always been intrigued about how horses fly overseas, and it's my dream job to work in quarantine facilities and be involved in the process of transporting horses overseas! From the bio-security to the actual process, I really loved watching this!!

[@Danceswithbees]

6:40 Wow, what a good horse! Mine would have never even approached such a small compartment!

[@julierussell8876]

he only just got under that ceiing before stepping down cos he is such a tall horse.! No hesitation just straight in, amazing.

[@stacieprigg9502]

hey matt this story makes my heart melt you are an inspiration to everyone around you and you should be so proud of yourself. the look on you mum and dads face said it all, they are so happy and proud of the Man U have become, hope the flight went smoothly and chase liked being in the plane, safe travels. ps loving these episode they are amazing I with they were on Netflix.

[@breezy2phresh]

I am loving this series....and the into/outro song makes it even better! This is amazing to how a horse travels via plane and the steps it take to do so.

An incredible overwhelming journey for both of you. Seeing it now after all new videos, look how far you've come. Your parents must be the proudest people in the world

For insurance purposes the handlers have to load the horses and time is money in aviation, they cant afford to miss a flight slot so it's all very tight and has to run like clockwork. No time to have a loading issue.

[@traceyhewison1185]

What a good boy Chase is, the way he just so trustingly went into the crate! This is all so fascinating for me, because about 30 years ago, our little appendix Quarter horse mare, Jubilee, took the journey from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to London, England. She later took a trailer to the coast and went via ship to Spain and then Portugal. Eventually, she did the reverse trip but staying on in the UK. My Mom and Dad were uprooting my little sister from her whole life in Calgary and felt badly, so they decided to take her horse with them! They had no idea what to do....so they called Spruce Meadows, who were a huge help in finding Jubi a spot in a crate. I was heading back to school in Toronto, so the last time I was able to see Jubi was out at a quarantine barn by Cochrane and she was so utterly miserable (from being inside for the whole quarantine period, poor mare) that she wouldn't even come to the door. :'( Knowing that the little mare, bred in BC and finding her way somehow to Alberta and then I traded her for my 3 year old QH gelding....giving her to my 12 year old sister at Xmas because I had too many horses to ride at work, they had such a bond but she'd only ever done little schooling shows and basic dressage.....this regular little mare ended up flying all the way to England! Thank you so much for sharing, so I can have a little bit of an idea of the adventure that she had!!
