DRESSAGE HORSE TRIES SHOWJUMPING || MATT HARNACKE - PART 2

Hey guys, so I decided to give showjumping a try with my dressage horse Chase. Watch us dive into the jumping arena with olympic rider and trainer George Sanna.

Saddle used is is the: www.cwdsellier....
Boots, Chaps and Stirrups from Freejump

[@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.

[@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

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

Ja tatsächlich😂😂😂

[@samtriangle1249]

Anita Girlietainment Ach du hier? Haha Das dacht ich mir auch als ich den Matt zum erstenmal sah 😂✌

[@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.

[@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...

[@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

[@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 ?

[@MissJody100]

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

[@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

[@VictoriasHorsevlog]

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

[@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.

[@lilyp6949]

He is doing it

[@suzannevisser]

Chase is a nice jumper, love your videos!

[@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.

[@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

[@chloemarceau5884]

Your trainer is amazing

[@nicolebirch3435]

Love the little pats Chase gets when you thank him

[@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.

[@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

[@emmonstrex65]

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

[@caseymetcalfe2248]

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

[@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.

[@AaliyahSwordstorm]

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

[@charliejade9790]

as if he can mount off the ground onto a 17 hh. cant even do that on my 12hh pony . :) lol wtf am i.

[@jamielynncassidy298]

Charlie Jade I don’t think chase is 17 h he is prob like 16 Something

[@sydneym1107]

Chase is 17.2hh. He said it in the start

[@sydneym1107]

And I’m pretty sure he was on a mounting block when he got on

[@anne-marijevossen7375]

He is a tall guy, so probably can mount off the ground on his horse.

[@BloodrayneZA]

An hobbit, Charlie? Haha just kidding.

[@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.

[@glennashwood9716]

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

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

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!

[@teodoraaldea967]

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

[@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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@chantallegie6912]

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

[@phyllisnunn2061]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@gk1136]

Anyone else think chase should become a show jumper?!?😂😂💘

[@mariamazanova4617]

Gk 11 yes exactly I think he’s better a It and looks like he’s a jumping horse

[@jisungie7768]

[@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!

[@SMeggl]

If you want to treat your horse really well like BOYD MARTIN (Olympic Eventing Athlete) does “Every day we train these horses very hard, and I need them feeling in tip-top shape for their competitions and next day’s training. I can’t begin to tell you how much improvement I’ve found with BEMER. It really helps with their recovery and circulation and it’s really made a difference.” (from veterinary.bemergroup.com/en_US/Success%20stories?partner=meggl ) you could look into treating them with a BEMER horse set: shop.bemergroup.com/en_US/sets/412300?partner=meggl

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 !

[@MissJanaBanana]

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.

[@aleksandraptaszynska8951]

you're the best rider i've ever seen! wow! ♥

[@holly.eq78]

4:13 he was perfect on beat 😍

[@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.

[@Lilli-Marie]

But don't you jump your dressage horse as a part of your dressage training too? cause I do and everyone else I know does too. It is part of the gymnastic work we do. Well I am from Germany and it is quite common here. I jump with my M-dressage horse every 4th day.

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

Not actual jumping like this. Pole work is just that pole work

[@DanjaundTom]

Ich hab mich auch gefragt wie er das ausgehalten hat xD ich bin mit 12 schon mit meinem 4jährigen einfach so zum Spaß gesprungen

[@Lilli-Marie]

TheNonMakeupGuru how do you think you know what and how high I'm jumping...

[@aster8864]

From what my instructor always told me a good horse should be able to handle jumping and dressage, not just one or the other of course there's always exceptions I guess but training in multiple disaplines makes a better more well rounded horse anyways.

[@dancetothebaileybeat2809]

I think you should teach a horse jumping, but I didn't know that you do it lots. Oh well, everything is learning.

[@Cr7TheGoat7g]

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

[@claire_louiseq8572]

That horse 😻

[@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.

[@abbizeiger2622]

"That was a bit naughty" the horse changed leads twice right before the jump, it's no surprise he was confused.

[@eliseblair5228]

Abbi Zeiger he swapped legs as he was trying to find a way to get around the jump. My youngster does it too when not 100% on the jump. Not Matts fault at all. Just a green horse learning where to put his legs ☺️!

[@lottie7460]

Yeah the horse changed leads because it was trying to figure out how to dodge the jump ie naughty

[@spetsnazttv6724]

Abbi Zeiger yeah lol i was like wtf was that approach

[@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.

[@ClaireDoesTooMuch]

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

[@imms1552]

is he wearing spears?if so why because you don't need them at any time for riding

[@jennyg3436]

Er riegelt

[@ShahrukhKhanForever]

Jenny G Das ist mir auch aufgefallen, besonders am Anfang im leichttrab. Ich meine an sich wird das ja irgendwie unter jedes Reitvideo geschrieben, aber hier stimmt es meiner Meinung nach wirklich.

[@melinahese8122]

ShahrukhKhanForever naja, ich würde noch nicht als richtiges Riegeln bezeichnen. Riegeln ist ja eher, wenn man mit Gewalt die arme bewegt und das Pferd damit nach unten zwingt. Das hier waren mehr grobe Paraden

[@ShahrukhKhanForever]

melina melone Ich stimme dir zu, dass das hier nicht gewalttätig dem Pferd gegenüber ist, aber Riegeln an sich beschreibt nur, dass die Paraden nach dem Schema innen, außen, innen, außen gegeben werden. Wirklich schaden wird es dem Pferd nicht, aber ich finde es traurig das bei jemandem zu sehen, der so hohe Dressur reitet.

[@jazzlover4895]

Naja er gibt den einen Zügel etwas nach, was ist euer Problem?

[@nathanaelpietras9610]

er stellt und biegt und streicht deutlich über zwischendurch- Riegeln ist das nicht!

[@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 !

[@ryleestewart778]

Loosen up on your reins

[@blkequus]

I though the same thing... let that horse use his head and neck over the jumps

[@dolphinjoe9809]

He just started jumping

[@liad2387]

Dolphin Joe that’s why you’d want more release. You shouldn’t start a horse with so much pressure. The rider already has a flash and spurs- a strong hand won’t help him relax.

[@dolphinjoe9809]

+ chestnut beauty Yeah I agree. I don't like flashes and spurs and he was holding the horse to tight. I think Matt just started jumping as well and will get better at releasing over jumps. When I said "He" I was referring to Matt not his horse Chase. Sorry I should have been more specific.

[@kelsieeventing4038]

And I love how when he refused one, u wouldn’t yell at him and force him over ur sympathetic that he’s new to this and u give him a pat and try again and if he rlly dosnt t want to do it u will lower it. So kind
