Emporio was soo cute at the beginning. Patiently waiting, but still letting you know "Enough talking, daddy. Let's do some ACTION." And you two indeed did.

[@lenacat3207]

@RyRy_EditZ#roadto300 He sold Sureno :)

[@MelanieWeber285]

CUTE OMG !!! I LOVE DOGS AND CATS AND HORSES!!!

[@cathyn3391]

I love Emporio's attitude toward learning. He reminds me of the kind of students teachers all over the world treasure-- alert, engaged, and able to feel for themselves the difference between mistakes and what is actually being asked. Clearly, your teaching methods have suited him beautifully. Congrats, and good luck next week!

[@fionajane56]

I remember when you found him,...you both have come so far. This is exciting!

[@ksanurse]

He looks like he’s enjoying it. That’s got to be worth extra points! He has come so far…. Do the plaits they look amazing.

[@carolannfox1644]

Gosh he is a beautiful boy. And just like the animal communicator said, he always wants to do his best for you. Good luck to you both!

[@davidsonbenson9830]

How are you doing today

[@FeMelch]

Your consistent praise of your horses gives me life. Thank you for loving them so fiercely. 🥰

[@karenmiklosh5528]

Matt! Good luck on your competition I know you and Emporio will do fantastic. You are such an understanding and patient horseman also putting your horses well being first. By the way your horses are gorgeous.

[@hollyobrien2816]

Your horse's ears while you explain the route, "um, you lost me at H" 😂 On a serious note, I drool over your riding, you make it look so easy and it is not! Gorgeous.

[@hascottie]

Competition rosettes for me, they look really special. Good luck Matt.

[@bkm2797]

Knowing it's important to you to feel on the top of your game, means Rosettes for Emporio. I wish the two of you the very best in the competition, and look forward to the next video. Thank you Matt!

[@TheOffcialMaddie]

Emporio is drop dead gorgeous!! His enthusiasm to learn is amazing! I notice him stopping his foot but still so patient🥰! I’m sure you’ll nail your dressage test! I also noticed him high tailing! So adorable!!🥰🥰❤️❤️✨✨

[@Wildernessadventuresoz]

I like to think he is saying stop your gibber jabber and let’s get on with this lol

[@jeiwaru]

4:23 Emporio was like "I can show them better than you can tell them. Let's go already!!" 😆🥰

[@EquineMetalhead]

Emporio you’re so cute! I love his attitude. He loves to learn and loves to please, he’s a good boy. The whole test looks amazing! I’m very excited to see the performance ❤

[@jillfatucchi8264]

Hi Matt, lovely video again. I definitely prefer the rosettes for the competition they look so classy on Emporio and I think it shows his neck better too. Well I wish you good luck in your competitions and whatever the result (We all hope you win of course) having fun, enjoy what you are doing and remember how far you have both come on this journey. Love to all. Jill Birmingham. U.K. XXXXX

[@madeliefspies1116]

i love how matt is like "that wasn't perfect" or "that was a little bit messy" meanwhile everything looks absolutely gorgeous and rides better than anyone could ever dream of🤩

[@jhorvers]

I would go with the rosets.. Like you said it's more traditional but it will also help you a bit mentally because for you it means more "competition day" He looks amazing als always.. Just be as relaxed as possible on competition day, really hit the letters very precise, keep breathing and most of all HAVE FUN!!. Just enjoy the moment and you'll be more than fine! Good luck 🤞

[@michelineduvieusart2439]

Nice to watch! Emporio is very attentive during his training. Good job! 👍😍💙 Oups! I forget, rosettes for me 👌

[@denisekoch3139]

Best of luck to you and Emporio. I love watching your videos. I know nothing about dressage but you two are beautiful to watch.

[@personalisedlearningcentre1559]

I love the way you present these videos… we see all the imperfections that then are perfected with practice and thought. Thank you for sharing this!

[@juliehare3403]

Excellent progress! Y'all look good and confident. Definitely the rosettes!

[@shonamcwilliam4171]

The rosettes for competition. Everyone will admire them I'm sure.

[@chrystalgonzalez4405]

Can we get a daily feeding routine and what you feed your stallions 🤩 they look amazing

[@michaelarodgers4763]

Wow Matt!! Comparing him to how he was when you first got him, you have done such a good job with his schooling. Truly an inspiration towards my riding and schooling!

[@jenniferlehman326]

Competion plaits!!! They looked amazing from both sides Matt!! Love from a Retired Paramedic, a S&R Dog and Handler Team Trainer and a former FEI Level Coach and now Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖🇨🇦🇱🇺

[@jenniferlehman326]

@Belinda Barham They are so wonderful for PTSD. They've helped many a returning Veteran. My mountain rescue team all suffer from PTSD, they are all Canadian Military Veterans. But they still want to contribute to society. So they've volunteered their time and trained with me for 6 intensive weeks. They've rescued 16 people in Banff National Park this past summer. So proud of all of them for how well they are all coping. Even the doctors are impressed!! Stay well and healthy!! Love Jenn. 💖 💖

[@jenniferlehman326]

@Belinda Barham My Mountain team does for sure, and my Ontario team does as well when necessary. My Ontario team this past summer brought back safe 12 people, and brought 1 home to his family for burial. He had a massive heart attack before we got to him, but we did recover him for his family. So that the family can grieve and then begin to heal. You never get over the loss of the loved ones, but you can heal, remember them with Joy, and remember them with Love. Stay well and take care of your beautiful Margot. You know you will be reunited with all family members again and all the animals who have been in your life. Stay Safe and Strong. Love Jenn. 💖 💖

[@jenniferlehman326]

@Belinda Barham Your parents sound like they were amazing examples of what humanity SHOULD BE!! And it's obviously been passed onto their daughter, because it shows in your compassion towards that one family I mentioned earlier. May you have Many Blessings come to you in the years ahead, my friend. Jenn. 💖

[@cordywitt6400]

He likes dressage, Emporio is such a willing horse. I like his uphill canter. Good luck, Matt.👍👍👍

[@rouveforbes7165]

Congratulations , you don’t need luck ; so best wishes and enjoy the day . He is such a beautifully expressive horse ; superb impulsion

[@kerrilambert1486]

Rosettes!! Have fun! You both look ready to get. Good first test score!

[@leegrass6954]

He looks fabulous! He’s such a beautiful horse! Good luck on your test!❤

[@jennifermastin7169]

Waiting very patiently for the BIG VIDEO!!! Please make it a 30 min video… can’t wait to see PSG!!

[@juliecampbell8966]

Literally died...'ok we are a little on fire'...I loved the self commentary! looking good and wishing you both luck in the test.

[@kitty941]

You two look great! You have prepared and trained well! You are a perfectionist which I get(I am too) wink😜, so don’t forget to just take a breath and remember no matter how it goes..you love your horse, he loves you and live in that moment and just enjoy how far you two have come together! The absolute best of luck to you and Emporio! And he will look amazing either way so do what your gut tells YOU and you will never be wrong. The rosettes did look very nice. Thank you for sharing your journey it’s a joy to watch. Can’t wait to hear how it goes. Luck from the USA from a woman who always dreamed of having a horse but doesn’t have one- so lives vicariously through you and Jesse! 😊

[@ingeliechtenfeld]

The two of you are simply a breathtaking sight to behold in your work. Beautiful the way you progressed together. The best of luck for your first competition.

[@judysouzaw2293]

Best of luck to you and Emporio! Your dedication and attention to every detail are sure to result in success. I like the rosettes best, too.

[@alfie8953]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope all goes well for you and Emporio at the competition. You have both improved a lot so go for it and best of luck!

[@denisedeboer5637]

Very nice to see your progress! His frame opens up so much afterward, if you can work that into the test your grades will be much higher😌.

[@lovebynea]

Wishing you a wonderful competition day! and the way you did his mane in the other video looked awesome! 👍

[@janetlevy1338]

Good luck, Matt and Emporio! You guys look awesome. I watch a lot of dressage, and your videos of talking us through what you are doing in your training --- how you respond to Emporio --- helps me also train my eye for small nuances I might be missing. I really enjoy this. Thanks.

[@dorismiller4651]

You boys look great!!!! Can’t wait see you both in your Competition clothes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 SO SO EXCITED for you!!! Don’t be nervous you trained hard. BEST OF LUCK!! Much Love 💜💚💜💚💜💚💜

[@april5666]

Emporio is the most gorgeous and sweetest horse. I'm sure you're going to do well -- he has so much enthusiasm for his job. I'd go with the running rosettes for their extra emphasis of his phenomenal neck.

[@denisedaggett6574]

You should go with the rosettes...beautiful!!! You two seem very prepared and ready for the test! Good Luck

[@paulamckibben1317]

Rosettes for me ❤..you two will rock the competition!!❤❤

[@alicestebelski3861]

Rosettes it is,they make him very elegant.I know very little about dressage but with Emporio and your determination you will have a marvelous show.

[@katherinestead708]

good luck, you'll rock it!! I prefer the rosette braids, look amazing!!

[@dharmamama4451]

Looking so eager. 😍 The rosettes are gorgeous on him. I prefer them.

[@LeannePurdie]

Great video. The rosettes look best for the competition. Good luck 🤩🦄

[@auburning]

He is such a bright and keen partner for you, your horsemanship suits him well. Best of luck to you both!

[@ghggp1]

Great video! Love watching with your explanations. Good luck on show day! Either way… owning a horse this beautiful is a winning day!

[@sharongraham8260]

Matt you and emporio have come such along way looking so good definitely plats and good luck for the competition.

[@myviewpoint7007]

Emporio is gorgeous. And what beautiful surroundings, enchanting, love it!!! Please video of your garden

[@janelifrak426]

Wonderful job. I so respect your discipline and love of your beautiful Emperion

[@jeiwaru]

Aww Emporio was so excited! Like a Kindergarten class going to recess. Teacher has to yell at them, "WALK, DONT RUN!!!" 😆

[@janeilsley1131]

I love the rosettes Matt for show day. He is looking amazing. Good luck can't wait to hear but would love to see your full test on the actual show day. 👍

[@kriskay7012]

You both look great and definitely do the rosettes on his mane.

[@sharonsiegrist7183]

That was beautiful to watch thank you. Good luck to both of you!

[@MelanieWeber285]

WOW AMAZING NEW VLOG MATT HARNACKE!! YOU ARE SO PERFECT AT RIDING!! I LOVE EMPORIO BECAUSE HE IS SUPER CUTE AND I ENJOY AND LOVE HE WALKS!! VERY FANCY TOO!! YOU ARE AN GREAT AND AMAZING RIDER TOO!!! PS CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO DO THE RISING TROT VIDEO!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

[@SallyGreenaway]

That was absolutely impressive! Thank you so much for making this video and explaining what you're doing! Good luck on competition day

[@margotayloe3754]

You both are going to be fabulous ❤️

[@rebeccaragnarsson6834]

Thank you for sharing 🙂 especially generous in a sport where everyone is a self proclaimed judge. Nice to see and hear your comments.

[@sherrygerbi4331]

I do like the rosettes. I wish I could be with you on competition day. It would be so exciting! Looking forward to hearing all about it.

[@ellyelzinga01]

Good luck on your competition and have fun!! I prefer the rosettes as well for his mane, it looked amazing when you did that in the previous video.

[@Bajkowski1]

Emporio looks like he loves Dressage. Excited for you guys to compete!

[@dorothearagsdale2664]

Riding dressage is much more difficult and involved than people realize. You both look great and best of luck. Prefer the rosettes.

[@audreymaqks]

I personally have never ridden in Dressage competition but the video clearly shows the work involved. Emperio is using every muscle in his body. Looks great.

[@katyasilitch4539]

Wow he looks great!! He seems to be feeling confident, and thus is seems to be beginning to find joy in the work, try to allow him this joy in what he has accomplished so far!

[@samanthaoaks5941]

Emporio looked so good during the second time around. I think you're right about the rosettes. But, whatever style of mane you choose, you and Emporio are going to rock this test. Wishing you two the best of luck!

[@debskover5854]

Yes I like the rosettes better! Good luck to you both! Love your videos!

[@victoriaroyle3980]

Dare to dream! If you did not have the capability to make your wildest wishes come true, your mind would not have the capacity to conjure such ideas in the first place. There is no limitation on what you can potentially achieve, except for the limitation you choose to impose on your own imagination. What you believe to be possible will always come to pass to the extent that you deem it possible. It really is as simple as that. Good luck Matt , will be rooting for you xx ❤️

[@audreymaqks]

Emporio is a very smart guy. You and Emporio make a great team. He is a big strong boy and he knows the routine. Both of you should win as best looking team. Love the rosette braids. Emporio appears to enjoy working with you

[@WolfieSilveira]

The rosettes looks more stylish for sure, but both looks great :D good Luck!! ❤

[@Jgirr5]

You make a beautiful pair Matt! 🤩 Relax and enjoy every minute of your first show, you are well prepared. If you have time to do the rosettes that is my vote, if not, maybe just the last end piece to bring it up. Blessings for a safe and successful trip! 🙏🥰❣

[@tammiekanters6496]

I like the rosettes, I tried to do them on my mare and it was just sad, they were all floppy. I will be practising them for sure.

[@felicitytoad]

Looks really really good very nice riding💪 I would think any good judge would love to watch them do a dressage test. The horse looks very happy and not forced and definitely not on the forehand very fun to watch 😇⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤠💯💥

[@marysheehy4733]

Love the Rosettes. He was a good boy and got better and better. All the best for the show!! Looking very good

[@SW-qz4qx]

Good luck for the competion 🍀🍀 you both will rock the MCI🍀

[@lindasmith5670]

Good luck Matt & Emporio on the PSG + freestyle not bad 1st time Dressage test On a 7 year old who has not done any Dressage events at all🤔😁 Just enjoy the day, you will have to see how things go. For the mane Rosettes every time. Now let’s get out there and see how you go with all good wishes Linda

[@animallover4101]

Good luck Matt.Emporio looks fantastic ! I have a PRE too and I find the judges are prejudice against this beautiful breed !

[@ginalauria1304]

Good luck Matt! He looks pretty awesome can’t wait to see the video of the competition

[@kevingunderson7381]

Your practice sessions appear to have been going very well. Good luck to you guys on the upcoming test! Looking forward to your next video to see how it all went🙏🏻🤞

[@bonnietoriani3189]

OMG……. So happy for you both!!!!!!! He is sooooo beautiful. I love this horse so much!!!!!!! Love the mane in this video. Good luck to both of you. I’m so excited for you both. And can’t wait to hear all about the competition !!!! Good luck to you Both!!!!!! 💕💓💚🙏😇🌟⭐️💫💕

[@janniedaly9466]

I like watching your videos, I’m a bit jealous of how calm you remain when Emporio gets a bit excited because of the other horses. Good luck with the competition and rozettes for me👍

[@ashtonsawesomeaussieanimal2133]

Tysm u inspired me to get 2 horses! There names are molly, and astro ❤❤ a paint and welsh , anyway love your vid!

[@janebain2941]

Very best of luck. You deserve to do really well

[@traciebolton1951]

Lovely Matt. He's really coming along!

[@charlottevermeulen5027]

no trot? :P congrats on the victory, I love how u showcase him. If I may be nitpicky when halting him his hindlegs are always behind and wide, maybe activate him more just before he halts so the hinds go into square, besides that love how u take care off your horses and seem to ride in a friendly manner. Emporio loves t perform at his best for u.

[@suzannesenser607]

I would love a video on how you warm him up when he is tense

[@deebee2603]

Good luck Matt and Emporio. He is such a lovely boy and willing to try everything you ask. I know you will do well!

[@lunarfaerie8552]

You can see Emporio getting impatient-I imagine he’s saying ‘enough with the talking already Dad, let’s get on with this’ 😂

[@melloyellowblue]

Running plait or competition plaits. Reason being that Emporio seems to be a bit high strung in the arena. I.e. very easy to go stiff and stressed. Changing too much on competition day will lead to him possibly being more prone to being stiff, especially since it will already be a high stress environment. I think he'd be in a better headspace with more familiar feelings, such as the feeling of the running plait. But, you are correct that you do the running plait all the time, so it would also be good for your headspace to change it up a bit, i.e. competition plaits.

[@debbieadkins2803]

What a smart beautiful horse, everything looked really good, but you already know this!👍👍

[@clairetomkyns175]

Love the bluish gear!

[@colleen867]

"as long as I have a half-halt, everything's okay" 💯 💯 Good luck Matt, and have fun!!

[@snuitable]

Have fun !! We riding the same competirion, other level. You look very good prepared!

[@judyquick2908]

Good luck! Emporio looks great. I prefer the rosettes.

[@snowymountainmama]

Best of luck to you and Emporio! What a great team you are. This has been a fun series to watch as you prepare for the big day. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@annejarvis7002]

Beautiful horse, beautifully & sensitively ridden. Very best wishes for the test.

[@suzannerichards4885]

Good Luck Matt. I thought his pirouettes looked great even when a bit fast. Especially to the right, he makes them look easy.

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

Love it, love it, love it! So excited for you. How wonderful!!! Wish you luck!

[@inkwhiskers9948]

You two are looking amazing! You're going to smash it

[@TaylorParnell]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AMAZING PARTNERSHIP CANT WAIT TO DO THIS WITH MY HORSES ❤❤❤❤❤

[@shellwillson9696]

Blessing for you both in your competition. You got this!

[@bunnyjames3828]
