Haha just had a look and wow great collection need to save up some cash! Lol

Will they be releasing it in the US? Quite difficult for us to get it over here without being charged quite a bit in fees.

Matt Harnacke hiii

[@sustainable_living_steelgully]

I really love how you said about Chase, just not being into competition and that some horses are just not meant for it. I wish more people would understand that.

[@NightshadeGoddess]

my pony wasn't either, he enjoyed jumping when we did it for fun, but hated doing it in competitions, he's just more of a field and forest pony lol

[@richardbenitez7803]

My knowledge about horses comes from watching equestrian at olympics ... Melanie smith (?) was very good at talking horses. But i happened to catch a 60 minuets (TV in the US) news item that spoke of a horse that was not good at competition, jumping, etc. The horse was trouble and unruly. Some lady bought the horse and discovered he loved long distance running. The horse was a champion at these long distance events.

[@Kholoured]

Same here lol I have a 13yr old TB that looks amazing doing, dressage, hunters, and Eq, but he loves moving out and doing x country and field hacking lol so instead of making a square peg fit a triangle hole I decided showing was not for him. We do fun shows, field hacking, and some dressage. Just purchased a broodmare so well see if anything she has sparks my interests lol

[@shammydammy2610]

I had an absolutely wonderful, beautiful gelding that I later learned had been abused at a horse show and panicked every time he went to one. He went on to have a lovely career as an endurance horse, something he wanted to do.

[@margodphd]

Just like humans, there's plenty of people with amazing voices who can't sing live or people with the right genetics for sport- but lacking the necessary mindset and discipline. Horses, dogs,cats -all animals really - they are just as different from eachother as we are as people. Same training, similar genetics and upbringing can still make siblings the polar opposites of eachother so it's not surprising it's the same in other mammals.

[@blaisearwyn3405]

Love that they used Matt's horses as models for the collection.

I love how gentle and calm you are with him, but still being aware that he IS a stallion and knowing that he does need the handling of a stallion. Love your videos.

[@mysticdemon6339]

you'd be the type to treat an intact Male dog like a monster and make a neutered obese and claim it to be love.

[@katierobbins7962]

What the HELL are you talking about? I don’t own a single obese animal, and I demand respect from all of my animals. Because I like that he is understanding to this specific horses personality but still make sure he handled like a stallion should be? But have fun with your idiotic assumptions 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@raapyna8544]

Hmm, I don't think dogs and horses should be handled the same way. They think differently. I'd say I speak pretty good horse, but not so much dog. I've handled a couple stallions and a few mares in my life. They are different from geldings. I could say, 'bigger personalities', as in, a bit more difficult. Kinda easily offended. I've noticed a similar behaviour works on ten-year-old children - calm, straight-forward, encouraging, firm. They like to question your authority at times, but if you are fair, adult, explain to them, and always stick to your principles, you can win their trust. I think it's fair to say a stallion should be handled a bit differently from a gelding. They think differently too.

[@cottoncandy4486]

Sad you think you will never own a horse. I'm 71 and still ride, so never give up on a dream. Just pay and have a few lessons, meet up with horsey people . People like me who would drag you along to a show or comp and learn how to be hands on for free. Strapper are always welcome and wanted. In the end you will end up learning, and having a ride without it costing you a penny or one red cent, depending on where you live.

[@leonslionessnz4867]

Love the collection! How sweet that the fans give you gifts. Some people are so thoughtful. Emporio has really filled out and is maturing into an exceptional stallion. It is so good to see a stallion taken out and allowed to be a horse. A well socialized stallion is a happy stallion with good manners and easy to handle around other horses.

[@hollyburns8568]

He has actually talked before about how nervous he gets when he´s going to meet fans and stuff like that.

Working with cutting horses for years in America we hauled. Hauled, hauled all of the young horses to get them use to all kinds of environments. We also rode them outside of an arena to gather cattle and just riding also we roped and wld drag calves and feed bunks. They may have been worth millions each but we still gave them a job and that helped their minds forsure!! Not sure if you have ever tried vicks salve in a studs nose or not we had one that wld scream and get bowed up if just trailering and seeing *loud* colored horses ect another stud we cld lead with a mare horsing wldnt bat an eye and was a total gentleman only reacted at the breeding farm. He is doing so good for first time at a show. CONGRATULATIONS on your line and everything!!

[@michellefitton4949]

Really enjoy seeing how thoughtful and caring you are about your horses. My only concern is that you are riding a four year old and horses aren’t finished their joint growth and formation until they are five or six. Perhaps because you don’t seem to weigh very much it might not be a problem. If you wait at the front end you have a much healthier and long living horse at the back end.

[@debio1135]

I am no longer in the horse industry but I feel like even though your tack is called the Matt Harnacke Black collection... that it would benefit from customization like if a person wants a tiny bit of a single color, they could order custom color from you. So the halter, although it is basically completely black, could then have a tiny amount of say turquoise beads or a tiny raised line of turquoise blue on the noseband or cheekbands... either that or a custom name plaque to go on the cheek bands. On the ear protection, the stitching could be custom colored. Either way, the tack is exquisite and the line looks very good. I just think a tiny bit of color would be cool if only ordered custom made for the person who wanted it. (For a fee of course.)
