Etro being calm and older will teach the "baby" how to behave and also will be a calming presence for him.

but isn't Ettro younger than Emporio? Matt has had Emporio before he purchased Ettro, right?

Just a small tip for future newbie horses... spread some shavings on the ramp and at the floor of the ramp so the horse does not slip and the perceived depth won't be so scary for him. (Hope you do not mind me sharing Credit to: Steve Young Horsemanship). So happy he is your's now.

[@Bell-b9r9q]

another thing i noticed - the yanking on the reins is unnecessary and going to agitate the horse, i see a lot of owners do this and then get surprised when their horse starts rearing and biting at them. i've only just stumbled upon this channel but this is the third person this week i've seen yanking on their horse in a situation where it's not at all a necessary move along with an introduction between horses that wasn't properly facilitated.

[@IamERIKA111]

Pausing @0.52 to say that's the horse that caught my eye during "that" previous video. That bold black beauty. I'm not surprised at all. He was absolutely the most gorgeous creature there. Now, not that this matters but my family bred, trained and showed Morgans, Saddlebreds and National Show horses. My Dad even trained some horses that went on to become world champions. You develop descent an eye for "REALLY NICE "when your exposed to that as a child. This was many years ago, feels like a lifetime ago now. When the tax laws were changed in the United States in the 80's many horse operations both huge & small were affected negatively. Wiped out or struggled and eventually succumbed and went out of business. Not being able to use horses as a tax write-off was an enormous gamechanger in the States. Our farm was one of the many that did not survive. My father transitioned into farrier work & ended up becoming quite good at healing horses when others couldn't. @ any rate...CONGRADULATIONS, I'm so very happy for you!!!! Now back to the video.

[@kathryntruby]

Isn't this amazing, I am stoked. because I too picked that horse out and made a mental note to remember how his mane was done, to see if I was right. Congratuation on your new horse. I can't believe it, I am 85 years old, have no horse experiance, but I must have a good eye for beauty. Congrats.

so glad you noticed the mane, I have such a hard time convincing people that the "ridden horse in Spain always has it's mane trained to the left side of it's neck". I lived in Spain for @ 14 years, and I was told that so many times!! But most Andalusian model horses are made with the mane on the right side, uck!

[@MeganOKelley]

​@bonnie448 Lol when I was little I grew up with horses, my grandmother had them. I didn't learn about training manes, probably bc the horses she had were all grown. (She rescued my favorite horse, he was a Thoroughbred that the breeders were going to kill bc he was born with a really long tongue. He was super sweet and was just like an oversized dog whose tongue always hung out one side! I'd tickle it and he'd try to pull it in, but it'd just flip out the other side!❤)

Bucephalus, Alexander the Great's famed mount. Reasonably on theme with his registered name. Also, I adore Etro's expression. "Really? Really??? You're doing this to me, why?"

[@khristinadenmark9189]

Matt, Push the horses muzzle/head away from you rather than pulling under his jawline. My first trainer was from Denmark and she taught me this over 50 years ago. She let me lead her magnificent stallions using this technique, which was new to me. Next She taught me how to train my yearling Arabian cross with this method. I was 10 years old and loved the connection it gave me with my horse! She also showed me "liberty" leading where she threw the lead rope over her stallion's neck and his head stayed right beside her body. She dictated the direction and he stayed with her. This training is partially the "modern day" natural horsemanship of pressure and release. Time will allow you to settle in with your beautiful friend. I'm curious to see how your stallion fills out in his musculature as he ages. Love his conformation. Be safe with your beautiful stallion Matt. 23:04 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@OtiAdventureToller]

Not much in the US, reiners travel in to compete all the time with no quarantine ....

[@patrycjatk8791]

He said there was a vet check, so I guess the horse would be healthy?

[@mobstercrow7515]

It depends on the area. Europe is a lot better in terms of animal health, whereas in america, animal related diseases are everywhere. There is a very high risk of parvo in america, but in the UK and most other parts of Europe, there is pretty much zero risk. They actually vaccinate their animals, unlike americans. In america there are millions of homeless animals and animals that are being neglected by horrid owners. They don't seek medical care for their animals at all which is why the risk is so high here. In Europe, it's totally different, the risks are a lot lower. Also, the horse was checked by a vet, they most likely ran multiple tests. Depending on the country you can ship certain animals to another European country without quarantine. For example, if you have a dog in Norway you can bring it to Sweden without a quarantine, you still need proof of vaccines and health though.

[@mobstercrow7515]

@@patrycjatk8791 Europe, especially the UK and nordic countries have a LOT lower risks of animal related diseases than america does. America is one of the highest due to people neglecting their pets and all of the stray animals. They have stricter laws on animals in Europe, thus meaning it's a lot healthier and safer.

I would go for Ébano (Ebony) or Elíseo (Elysium). Hes a stunnig horse, wishing you all the best with him and hope you two get used to each other quickly. He couldn‘t have a better home than your stable, you and jesse are true horsemen!🤍

[@lovebeiber101]

Such a beautiful boy! What breed is he? Are you concerned with new horses that any illness or bug could be transmitted to the other horses or is it not likely with more expensive horses? On some channels I’ve noticed the newbies are quarantined for a couple of weeks? Curious because I work in healthcare…will def watch more of his journey with you since he is still so young❤❤❤

[@jaanstephenswhite572]

@@dominiquezurcher8583 yes I like Ebano. Simple and pure

2 years ago Marcel Jordan stopped at my place, revealing this (despite being only 9 months old) HUGE black Icelandic horse with a star. So the first part of this vlog felt like a dejavu 😂🥰 Your new steed is gorgeous! He looks like there could be Cartujano in his lines 😍 As for the name: I think it should begin with E as the other two ☺️ So maybe Enzo which means ruler of the estate

[@heatherhodge1590]

Etro was so non-plused. What a good boy! New baby is GORGEOUS! Congratulations!!

[@naenaet873]

Wow...he is HUGE and beautiful, I can't wait to watch the transformation.

[@karenthompson5653]

He has very sweet eyes! Not Zorro. Something sweeter. Thinking! He is so gorgeous ❤❤

[@Excelsior_rach]

The nose to nose greeting aweee He’s like FRIENDSSSSS😅🥹

[@esmeedam5512]

He's for sure a Maximus! Absolutely stunning 😍

[@sandynorris1250]

Oh WOW! A stunner for sure! ! What?? He’s just 3!! Best wishes on making him a valued member of your family. Hang on for the ride!!

[@KrisReymundi01]

I think Bucephalus would be a great name! Bucephalus was a legendary black horse with a large white star on its forehead, famously belonging to Alexander the Great, known for being wild and untamable until Alexander successfully tamed him as a young man; the name "Bucephalus" translates to "ox-head" in Greek, possibly referencing the horse's large head or a distinctive marking on his thigh. 😅 dropped some of my love for history 22:08

[@dcrouch1980]

He is a big boy, I bet he gets another 3 inches before he is done growing. Beautiful coloring. Good job!! I think Hugo (boss) sticking with your designer theme plus he is huge 🤣

[@embreis2257]

up to what age do stallions grow?

[@dcrouch1980]

@embreis2257 all horses can continue to grow and fill out until they are 4-5 years old.

[@cathy8147-q9n]

Phantom, can hardly wait to see him, just beautiful so happy for you! Great choice.

[@brookesy4929]

Me and my black cavalier pup approve!!We were both drooling as he came out of the truck lol I knew u wouldn’t buy a mare and I knew u were love struck when u saw him walk by. Congrats u two😍☺️🎉

[@uula.]

'Blade' would match his whole name. Plus it sounds sharp and fitting for big black horse.

[@briarknowles9813]

When you said his current name, I thought it would be hilarious if his stable name became Dickie 😂 But I have a feeling that would never be an option. He's too majestic for that!

[@jessicabender4479]

I was gonna suggest Rich or Richard for that same reason!

[@tstbr_1234]

I was thinking Dickie, too, as a short form of his name. But it doesn't really fit him that well.

[@pirahna]

My first thought was even sillier- shortening "Dictator" to "Tater" 🤣

[@ameliacorin7383]

What a stunning horse!! He's such a character and a natural comedian with his expressive vocals! For some reason, this horse made me think of Buchephalus like a few others have commented. No one could tame him, Alexander understood that he was fearful of his own shadow and turned him to face the sun before he attempted to ride him the first time and it worked! This horse seems skittish in a similar way. Congrats Matt. Hope he settles in smoothly.

[@One_Odd_Parrot]

I knew it was that awesomely gorgeous black horse. I like Hamish as name or Poseidon or Tritan. Congrats on your gorgeous new boy.

[@squirrelcottage4052]

I second the nomination of Triton! ^//^

[@carolyn64]

Oh no! The vlog was much too short! I really was invested in how "he" was reacting too everyone and everything! He was just getting started in the new enclosure! What happened next? I really hope you don't wait very long for part 2! I also need an update on your progress with your new home. Happy New Year to you both and all of your horses both new and old!

[@XXfallenangel]

I think the name Caesar would fit him really, really well!! KNEW IT WAS THIS STALLION !!!!

[@LisadeKramer]

Oh my gosh, he is going to be huge. He is beautiful.

[@karenconway649]

If Matt chooses to ride this newest horse in Dressage, can you imagine the excitement when this beautiful but absolutely huge horse enters the arena?? Mouths will certainly drop, lol!!!

[@presouz5]

I haven’t seen a young stallion interact with a new place a new horses before. So I kind of got a lot of anxiety. He’s may be a handful for the next few years, but what a beauty.!!!❤

[@janeh1431]

What a beautiful horse and you are a beautiful young man. You have such an amazing life and an amazing life ahead of you. Therapy is an absolute must for many of us. You'll succeed in many things, keep on shining.

[@IvyPearsonUnderwater]

Espada is so gorgeous! and Etro is soooo calm. I am genuinely asking. After several hours in a truck, isn't it better to walk the horse first? Rather than putting him back in a enclosed space? Perhaps the upcoming video of him outside, has been made just after this one, tho.

[@lizkeil5777]

Espy for short
