[@emiliesanders4821]

@BathtubLovingGuyas a person who also has ADHD - its not cute. It Can be chaotic, overwhelming and People Can really struggle with it. It is certanly not funny or cute having ADHD. I admit it Can be funny when one gets distracted by little things 🤣 but calling ADHD cute is not the words 😅

[@choco3424]

@@emiliesanders4821 Real. I also have adhd and it’s not really cute at all. I live like a rat bc of it. But yea getting distracted in situations like this is kinda endearing.

[@cathyn3391]

Who says Jesse has ADHD? Has he been diagnosed, or do people just use the term ADHD to refer to someone who gets distracted or whose thoughts are scattered? It's the same with people who throw the term OCD around, calling themselves or others who are organized and focused "OCD". These are medical terms, and true OCD will take over a person's life, as can ADHD. These guys have very good control over their lives, and are very successful, so I am skeptical that they really qualify for these labels, even though they use them themselves.

[@sonyarichards4330]

Please don't polish the format. It's so authentic and entertaining, even when you woffle about random things. It's so funny 😂. Unstable is the perfect name.

Okay, I love these monthly Q&A sessions! The raw, unpolished view of you two is refreshing, delightful, and incredibly amusing (i.e. Matt's zipper mishap; dead mouse; poo smell to name a few). I prefer the barn & one camera - I like seeing the horses in the background. Use the other space with several cameras for when you have a guest, but make that its own separate video - not a part of your monthly "un-stable" Q&A videos. I really prefer this Q&A format with just the two of you - there aren't words to express just how thoroughly entertaining you are together. You just are. 😂

Jesse cracks me up. He's a riot and probably has no idea how funny he actually is.

1. Love the name "Unstable". Smart move! Matches your vibrant, chaotic energy so very well ! 2. Like the current setting with Laura and horses in the background but understandable how difficult it is with the winds etc. so, whatever you like. ( But creating unstable in a stable is the power move you know, that just has a vibe of its own) 3. I did nothing much other than thinking of the release of this video today looking at the clock ahaha, and its so dang worth it ! learnt a lot ! Love how Jesse jumps in and sprinkles his positivity to every little thing ! Such a magical soul ! 4. You both looked so handsome and thank you for speaking up about finances openly and non-conventional education systems. 5. Making this is a monthly "thing" is very very smart and appreciate how it opens up a platform for you to share your wisdom with the world. You both achieved a lot at such a young age and with that, has come maturity and it really shows from the way you speak. Wishing you the best of the best in everything you do. Take care.

[@thisissomeone7983]

the segment about humanizing horses made me feel a lot better. I haven’t had a lot of time lately to spend with him and i’ve felt so guilty because i think he must want to see me and waits for me. He’s a horse, he gets food and goes outside, sees other horses and he’s happy😅 maybe it’s not that deep

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

If he's not over their neighing and crying for you, then he's not pining. I think the more important thing is balance and giving them a range of enrichment but horses also need their lazy down time too. Also I think horse don't over think life as much, they are good at enjoying whatever is enjoyable in that moment instead of pining for something that is not happening in that moment, that's one of their lessons they can teach us IMO. So they can enjoy your company but also can enjoy other times with other pleasant things like just they job munching grass when they are in those environments, I don't think they do FOMO so much like humans do. So when they eat grass, they put their mind on enjoying it and not much mind on missing other types of enjoyment, they are better at living in the moment. That's my impression of them anyway, and i think a lot of it is just that we humans overcomplicate things.

[@jeiwaru]

[@MegF142857]

I'm happy with your simple sitting & chatting together & more relaxed with horses around you. -- Jesse is right that a 4 year worth of education is NOT the same as a course, plus he was doing work with horses at same time as taking the educational path for overall business horse management. Respect to Jesse on that one!

[@chasingfences1302]

Yes, a course is a course on a specific subject. It's clear Jesse attended a 4-year educational program comprised of many courses on various horse management subjects. Respect to Jesse on attending the 4-year educational program and finishing school early because he studied at a higher level.

[@xylanoche861]

I LOVE the environment of having the horses in background, with a day to day feel. It is very authentic. The one camera straight on is refreshing, as many podcasts are with mics and headphones and they are a dime a dozen.

[@wallyhodges]

As for your accents, I personally love the way you guys talk. Jesse should look into doing audio books, his tone a speech structure is so alluring and Matt your accent is simply Devine to listen too, it reminds me of high sophistication and elegance. lol

[@FarmFreshIB]

When I was giving lessons I used to teach an emergency dismount. I had to learn it myself after an accident where my bitless bridle broke and literally fell off during barrel racing! To do it properly you kick off your stirrups and reach forward and to one side of the saddle (especially important western with a saddle horn!). You grip the horse around the neck and hold on tightly as you slip off their back. When your feet touch the ground you let go of their neck and push away from them. The momentum will cause you to fall backwards onto your butt and back. It is important to keep chin to chest to protect head and neck (of course you should also have your helmet on) and try to fluidly fall allowing your whole body to absorb the impact and not just land on one bit... Like a wrist. When learning the dismount work with a friend, on the long line, and at a walk to start. Work bareback and with a saddle. Practice until it is smooth and then work at different gaits. You want this to become muscle memory. Practice both keeping a rein and total release. Far better to have this in your tool box and never need it than to be on a runaway horse heading for a busy street and unable to get off safely before disaster strikes.

[@TheLeh1964]

Matt: Your description of over-analyzing “giving our own emotions to horses” was perfectly explained. I will keep that forever! 🎯 🎯

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

I suspect the problem is some peeps can't easily understand how a horse thinks so when they say 'natural horsemanship,' they are not actually understanding was is natural for that alien horse brain, they can only imagine how a human might feel. They end up applying humanmanship, not horsemanship. We have a lot of peeps like that in this area, it can make for peeps refusing to admit the training method is not working, instead they make excuses or maybe the method works on some horses but not on the more willful ones, but then they just say welp that horse is just like that, they won't accept they might need to try something different. Some places here think even light pressure and release is mean and evil, using a flag is also mean and evil, etc, very hard to train a dominant horse to respect you at all if your only way to train is giving it carrots. They end up with a horse that bites and kicks and then they lock it into a coral with little mental stimulation and claim that will make it happiest, to just stay in there forever, people don't even want to go in to clean the corral because the horse is badly behaved. They think that's nicer than using the flag or some pressure to train the horse for a few weeks so it can learn to be safe. It's so frustrating because I see a lot of these horses just need a bit of training but they won't get it.

[@MyuNeptune]

I like the in-stable setup. Also Matt I agree. Horses have different needs than humans. Some are similar like need of companion, but horses live in the wild. They're not gonna cry when they're wet, or when they get dirty...

[@lyndachabane1931]

OMG Matt that was an excellent vault over the fence, well done you and thank goodness no injuries. As you so rightly said as soon as you were off he stopped....the bugger 🤣 I am sure many of us have experienced the same dilemma, I know I have. Unfortunately at 73 now I don't plan on doing it again so my TB better still keep behaving himself. Loved the video by the way. You have such a great relationship with each other, long may it continue.

[@kathleenmcginley4827]

I like that you do the Q&A in the barn. The horses peeking out of their stalls, horses being cared for... a normal barn scene.

[@equintuition]

Matt, I think you have a very healthy view and open mind about horse training, trying your best to understand your horses as much as possible, always curious to hear others' opinions and experience which is really refreshing in the horse world to be honest. Now, about the excessive mouth foaming, this is something that commonly happens when the horse can't swallow the saliva that is produced from having a bit in his mouth. The bit stimulates salivation, chewing, movement of the jaw, and swallowing, the same as when the horse would be eating. When this is combined with exercise, it can become a struggle as he needs to breath more heavily. A horse can't anatomically breath and swallow at the same time, which is why you'll see the excessive foaming as breathing is more prioritized than swallowing, thus the saliva starts to drip and cover the entire mouth of the horse. This may be stressful, as their breathing can become restricted. Even more so if they are also wearing a noseband design which restricts the airways, blocking the airflow to flow smoothly (aachen/ flash, drop noseband etc). When horses run and move their bodies freely, without the influence of a rider or handler (in play, flight, fight etc) they keep their mouth closed, lips sealed, the tongue and jaw is kept immobile and the mouth cavity is rather dry, all of this is to optimize breathing. If you are curious to check out sources and read more in depth, Horses & People Magazine posted a great article on this called "Clearing the Air on the Bit-free Debate" available to the public including the studies referenced. Always fun to share some new research and findings with curious equestrians! 😁

@@choco3424 in non-english speaking countries, having "no accent" refers to having one or a combination of the recognized native speaker accents (american, canadian, british, kiwi, etc) including their sub-accents (southern drawl, african american vernacular, scottish, welsh etc). so in europe, a dutch sounding person would be considered having an accent, and that is likely what matt meant when he said that to his ear jesse doesn't have an accent.

Just love this improv set up. It shows your sense of humor and not taking yourselves too seriously. One thing that comes to my mind when thinking aboute questions is the fact that you guys are a couple. You guys are such lovely examples of choosing your own route, being authentic and natural about that. True story: I first got to know you by stories of the daughters of my friend. I was like 45 years old and they were app. 10-13 years old. And the were head over heals in love with you guys. Talking posters in their bedroom. Just so sweet. I took them to horse event and we got to talking about you. Somehow it got to whether you had girlfriends. And then I suggested that you might be a couple. Major shock at first. And laughter and judgement. Responses that sounded like they had heard other people saying these things. But also a moment in which I could tell them that you still were both lovely boys, great horsemen and good entertainers. And that got them thinking I guess. Months later somehow the subject came up again. And there was non of the awkwardness. They had completely accepted that these two great guys are a couple, but still interesting to follow, etc. Great experience for me to see the girls come to terms with some people being gay and still be great people. So thanks!! My question is: are you ever aware of this side to your fame and how do you think about this? Love, Daniëlle

[@jessiahstalbirds.j.794]

Great Q&A gentleman. I grew up on a 200-acre dairy farm and we always had Belgian Draught horses. Jesse is right owning horses is a 24/7 life comment. My father at the age of 50 converted the farm into a full board stables. After I retired from teaching I took over the farm and I personally own 1 Belgian and a Shetland Stallion along with boarding 20 other horses. At the age of 74, I only tend to my Belgian and Shetland since I got them both when they were yearlings. My Belgian Hilda is an 1800-pound overgrown lap dog who loves attention. I ride her daily and Jess my Shetland has to accompany us or he has a hissyfit if he is left behind. The bond between a man and his house is a gift and is very rewarding for both. But horses need to be horses and should allowed to form relationships with other horses.

I was a rider as a Child and teenager but didnt have the drive to Go for a Horse career. It would have been difficult coming out of an Academic family. So I studied African languages and wrote my Master thesis about the role of the horse in Hausa culture. Why dont you do a Series of wild horses?

This video is perfect in every single way! So chill and real. And the background is perfect. These Q&A's are definitely my favourite videos

[@PlageSchokolade]

I really liked that you left in the "banter" about the education / course at the end. It is a good discussion! I kind of got the feeling this kind of education (over a few years) is not really a thing where Matt grew up? Matt's approach is more sensible, but personally, I side with Jesse (go for what you are passionate about).

[@StephenBox-vt3od]

Really enjoy these monthly QA's and like the barn setting its casual.thanks for sharing.

I DESPERATELY want you two to move to Australia 😭 We need more equestrian icons here 😂💖 I also feel like maybe you guys should do a tour or something next time you come, so many people love you guys!

[@Dallas88888]

It doesn't matter to me where you are. Just be together. 😁 Thanks for sharing your lives with me. 😘😘

[@ady1gilb]

If they were no longer together, over half a million people would be devastated & heartbroken! 😢

[@kimberlykidman20]

Was so excited to see one of these videos from you two ❤ We love following your journey thank you for taking the time to share with us.

Love your comment on taking the horse's voice away. The consequence of not accepting that our animals (dogs, cats, horses & my guinea pigs) seems controlling and disrespectful. My daughter once had search dogs and I never heard anyone she trained with refer to their dog as a "furbaby." I love to be around horses, but I cannot get in their heads, so I clean tack and admire them. On the other hand my daughter can look at them and interpret what they are trying to communicate. You really nailed it on the head when you said humans can express their own needs and desires through their horses. I wonder how many problems are missed for the horse.

I like this set up! It frames you both well and it fits the topic.

[@ninnaphilipsen9923]

Oh please make a vlog, Jesse when you are going Skiing 😊 Thank you for the video, love it! Can’t wait for the next one! Do not change the background, i love it! 😊

[@barryjacobs8524]

It’s such a pleasure sitting here watching and listening to you both. You are both well connected in your friendship and it shows when you bounce off one another. Just one thing if think people asking where you get your money from is a bit of a cheek and Jesse didn’t like it much. Matt you are the businessman and Jesse well Jesse is just himself. Ginger is so good for you, one tablespoon of fresh grated ginger, seeped in a boiling cup of water for 10 minutes, drained, when ok to drink, it settles all stomach bugs and keep drinking it Jesse ginger is great! You don’t have to answer all questions, especially the personal ones. Your life is your business and you have both worked hard for what you have so good luck in the future and keep smiling. ❤

Your argument about education versus real life experience was so funny because it is such a cultural tell. I have Australian family and we've had the same discussion. They definitely value on the job experience more, while in the States (and apparently in the Netherlands) a good education is the most important thing.

Hi! I wanted to thank you for the content on HorseworldTV, it's the first equestrian VOD platform I didn't unsubscribe after the first month. I love the content (more into riding and dressage related) because it gives me good references and examples to look up to and also because there are a lot of horses similar to mine (I have difficulty to access to trainers used to KWPN horses or alike). Keep up the good work ! I actually have 2 equestrian red flags : people who never seek a vet when their horse is lame/very asymmetric or very hard to work with ; and the 2nd category is behold by those who cannot help themselves but feeling a wierd sense of pride at their horses being very complicated (whilst the horses just are not well educated to behave, or not being understood by their rider when ridden).

[@JesseDrent]

Thank you!!❤

[@unapologeticallynikki]

Question for the next one! Do you enjoy your visits in America and how do you think the horse world differs between the USA and the Netherlands?

[@poppythepony123]

I love the set up in the stables DONT MOOVE the camera for the un-stable podcast !❤

[@Flipper568]

I have just discovered you guys. I know nothing about horses, but I think I am going to love your channel. A peek into another world! Please keep doing videos in your stable - it is actually the main reason I clicked on your channel. All the best from sunny Queensland 😎

[@tiniselles]

I hope you’ve also found Jesse Drent’s channel 😊

[@MT-mg4gp]

I'm gonna say I like this informal setup, guests are ok, but I think I'd much rather experience your interplay with each other the most, it's warm, and funny and entertaining, as long as you support each other's opinions and ideas, and treat a each other well, and positively, I think people love both of your personalities and affections are compelling and wonderful, you're both passionate and a delight to see I know I always watch as soon as they come out😊

[@nancymorter6649]

Jesse does have an accent, Matt you are used to hearing his voice all the time. It does sound Dutch. Love the video!

[@lisayouse3502]

Love the barn setting, keep for now! You guys make me laugh and this is good. 😅 From an older person, enjoy these young years. 😊

[@siepsch]

22:36 Jesse’s proud face when you guys talk about Naughty Annie 😅😅😅 Ik like the name un-stable and i like the setting just how it is. It keeps it real and fun.

[@62hehe62]

I like the background as it is, with the horses in the background peering out - cute and relaxed

[@lianeatlarge]

Have no real interest in horses but you two, and the way you care for your animals, are just so entertaining in so many ways. Sponsors overlooking your channel cos it’s an “equestrian” channel are definitely missing an opportunity!

[@Ladybug1958]

Gotta say this,,alot of Americans love your accents and other . It's just so charismatic!

[@Clairek1985]

We need a jesse riding chase video 😂, love how he said he was 'wild' lol. I really miss the fun chase videos!

[@ady1gilb]

Agreed!!! Would just LOVE to see Jesse on that fabulous Mr. Chase!!! With Jesse being such an outstanding rider & Chase being such an outstanding horse, we all would be delighted to see them together!!! 💥❤️💥

[@chanteuse1978]

Love this format! It’s great to get to know you two a bit more. Please don’t ever feel obligated to share more than you are comfortable with though ❤
