“Oh noor!” 😂

[@brendasimmons8149]

I think he looks good on Etro. It’s sweet you told him he can ride him anytime he wants. Oh, By the way, Jesse is an angel on this earth. Cherish him always Matt ❤

I agree, if God created a perfect person, it is Jesse Drent 💝 💖

[@janettehutton8634]

I totally agree. They’re actually the perfect couple 😊

[@JLC48]

@@janettehutton8634 Have they confirmed they're a couple? I get the definite feels but don't want to assume. Both great with their horses (and each other's) and I love watching their video's! Thanks Matt and Jesse!

[@janettehutton8634]

@@JLC48 no but I think a blind man can see it. When they were on their riding holiday Matt kept calling him Darling too, so I’d say it’s a fair assumption.

Jesse is indeed an earthly angel.. pretty sure Matt realizes that he has hit the jackpot.. ❤️ ❤️

[@gracerideshorses7309]

Jesse never wanting to use spurs is everything 😂😂😂

[@cynthiaweathers6979]

Jesse doesn't need spurs and such. He's the Guru of horse trainers and can manage very well with the bare minimum ❤

[@clairetomkyns175]

Gaio jumping on Jesse's ankle must have been very painful. Matt is a very competent trainer and gives great pointers, but Jesse has a natural instinct about how to handle any horse.

[@meandmyself5609]

So true!

[@unseelie63]

I think Jesse and Matt just have different priorities or philosophies.Nothing wrong with that,just different.

[@saradastrickman6406]

Matt, you're a good teacher

[@ady1gilb]

​​@@Belle-cl2jw*** If the ankle swells or pain continues or worsens then YES!!! GET X-RAY 2 C if there's any damage 2 the bones. Jesse CANNOT be in pain, he CANNOT remain injured!!! 😢 His YT Family wants him 2 stay happy, stay healthy & stay safe!!! 🥰 MATT ! do what U do so well ! Take charge & make certain the proper actions R taken ! Yr so capable & good at that! 👍☺️

[@g.w.hampton5525]

My horse stepped back going through a gate and somehow came scrapped down on the outside of my right ankle.. riding bareback and barefoot of course =)) it took years for the feeling to come back right.

[@paulamckibben1317]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how HUGE it was for Matt to tell Jesse he could ride Etro whenever he wants?! Matt can't help micro managing when he's watching.. might as well ask him to stop breathing 😂.. but he really does totally trust Jesse with his horses ❤❤

[@jeanviarengo231]

If I had such kind hearted and well trained riders in my barn, I'd have no trouble telling Jesse or Matt they could ride my horse's any time

[@AlexsandraBohlin]

I know they're pooping a lot, the swallows, but they will keep the stabels fly-free! They're the BEST at that!

[@annettegreen8412]

And they are beautiful. The wee ones peeping at you over the edge before they fledge squeezes my heart. I always welcome them in my barns for 70 years. Glorious to watch in the twilight swooping after insects risng from the pond.

[@warriorswings]

And they're endangered!! They're such amazing little birds, they only occupy the stables for the summer and they don't cause any bother!!

[@candicerunyon2762]

I would hang some inexpensive plastic sheeting right under the wire's to catch the droppings. Narrow strips, but wide enough to do the job. Then they can be thrown away after the babies fledge and leave. They nest there because it is safe and secure. They are magnificent bug catchers and need all the help they can get to keep thier populations up like most migrating bird's

[@battymare]

Matt: “I’ll let you do it on your own and I won’t talk so much”. Also Matt: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah…..” 😅😂😂😂😂

[@dcrouch1980]

The not talking lasted about as long as I expected, lol. Nice job for Jesse this time as he did not get overwhelmed and was more relaxed. Next up Matt on Gaio 😏

[@ady1gilb]

Never happen. Gaio's a powerhouse (power horse!) not to be messed with. 😄

[@pixie706]

About time Jesse bossed Matt about for a change

[@theequineguide]

"Can you stop clicking... I don't think he likes that "😂😂😂

[@ady1gilb]

If Jesse thinks Etro doesn't like all those rapid clicking sounds, then Etro DOESN'T LIKE ALL THOSE CLICKING SOUNDS! Jesse always knows what the horse is feeling!!!!!! 😂

[@kathleenchild]

Actually, I think Jesse is the one that doesn’t like the rapid clicking not Etro 😅

[@profe3330]

Jesse looks good on any horse, really. Some people are just like that.

[@TheSaffieron]

Awh, don't complain about the birds, they're so nice and come back every year. Plus, they eat the flies!

[@pamelapeterson2987]

Jesse is a lovely rider

[@wensnz6524]

Matt.. you're so bossy 🤫 and Jesse is so calm and patient 😂

[@patbroekema6721]

Jesse you rode really well. You were calm and very kind. You are a very good rider - you don’t give yourself enough credit 😀🐴

[@tidalvvaves]

I haven't seen videos of this horse before but he looks incredibly relaxed and flexible. Even his lower lip is flopping around in trot. Jesse is a really nice, gentle and kind rider. I like seeing how easy and soft it looks! Zero pulling and tugging, just soft still hands. Amazing!

[@misssophie6515]

2:08 pro tip from someone with lots of similar birds (we have swallows): add a piece of wooden board right under their nests to catch all the poop, you can even paint it white, so it will be almost unnoticeable looking from below. Here, no stable would feel complete without them, I love their chirping and they hatch eegs twice per season. Here it is forbidden by law to remove any nests, as they are endangered, but if your car or anything is underneath their "home entrance" it is absolutely going to look disastrous after a few weeks. Another strategy is to buy artificial nests (there are specific ones for this species available) and place them strategically somewhere where it doesn't bother you as much and hope they accept your offer (the clay and water they need to build their nests is harder and harder to come by for them as well, so sometimes they are glad if they find an already exisiting place to stay).

[@ady1gilb]

I've always thought that although Emporio is bigger, stunningly beautiful, talented & a magnificent animal, Etro is the working gold mine! Etro has a calm intelligence about him & an "I can do anything" confident, patient expression. He is the one who will surprise everyone as he continues to mature. He's a rare gem & Matt saw this in him from the very beginning! Way to go Matt, with your excellent eye for 'the right one'!!! 👍 (and besides ... Etro is totally in love with Jesse, a true sign of uncommon good sense & excellent good taste!) 💖😃💖!

[@myhappygecko2895]

That was very interesting, I liked listening to Jess talk about how his horses are different then yours.

[@mariefreeburn8256]

Jesse is a beautiful natural horseman, it’s just lovely watching him with any horse or pony. 👌 He can ride any horse sympathetically, that can’t be taught, he’s just got it. Matt is a bit on the bossy side though.

[@michelineduvieusart2439]

Two excellent riders, but with different styles and used to riding different horses. Two friends who love to squabble (nicely). Etro, a magnificent, sensitive and very gentle stallion. The three of them meet up in the arena and each does a great job in a pleasant ambiance. For me, it's a fantastic way to end the week!!! Thanks to the three of you! And congratulations on the first improvements to the stable 🤗😂👏✨✨💙

[@potterlinda02]

Jesse you are so cute...stand your ground!! Matt can be quite persuasive....lol... I loved this video...

[@mcdart2606]

The birds are Barn Swallows! 😂 They make their nests with mud and bits of hair and string and whatever else they can find. The little fledglings can get caught up in the hair and string and get hurt, so we always get a ladder and cut all the strings & dangling hair.

[@embreis2257]

they should just put something beneath the nest and resting pole. problem solved, right?

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

NGL, these two look fantastic together. Hopefully, we will see this a bit more frequently. Maybe Etro would even profit a bit from a "touch of Jesse". Do something together...maybe like a Christmas Pas de Deux? That would be lovely.

[@donnasteinberg1398]

Jesse, great job riding. You are very patient and tried to feel the horse and tune in. Etro was a gentleman and is very beautiful! It's good for the horse to have a few different riders at times.

[@venlatuominen8376]

Jesse is so good with horses! I love the way he compliments the horses and never asks for too much! 💕

[@bkm2797]

What's not to love about Etro, gosh he's such a gorgeous horse. Jesse did a good job, I enjoyed watching them together. Matt you are a different kind of perfectionist compared to Jesse due to your goals, but you are both so well taught, It was fun listening and watching the two of you work together. Jesse I hope your ankle is feeling better soon, and Matt thank you for taking us along.

[@iambierdo]

"I don't know half of the time what's going on" Me too, Jesse. Me too 😂

[@tinak.6182]

Jesse is an angel. It's so kind of you, Matt letting Jesse ride whenever he wants to. Jesse looks good on Etro, like you do. Interesting to see how the horses react with different riders. Etro looks gorgeous ❤️ Love it. Thank you so much... 🙏🏻🥰💕

[@karenbeisterveld6923]

Jesse looks lovely on this horse..

[@AuroraAbendrot-zq4ry]

Sometimes i dont know if they are fighting or its still fun, Jesse always sounds to me like he has given up to say what he wants, as Matt does what he wants anyway

[@62hehe62]

You're so lucky to get swallows!!! Their numbers are going down and it's so special when they find somewhere they like the babies will come back next year, so lucky ❤ even if it is a bit extra cleaning

[@tanyaoellermann]

The swallows leave South Africa around about April and migrate to Europe because we are going into our winter then and then start returning to South Africa around about October. I love them and every year there is a pair that come back to their nest on our verandah. There is a point near our airport where they all meet up with each other and then they migrate together. It's amazing.

[@jeiwaru]

lol Jesse will do anything to avoid those spurs 😆

[@leec5170]

Matt, A) I feel like owning a stallion is a venture into craziness. I would never do it. B) Jesse trying to connect with your boy prior to riding is the sweetest thing I've ever seen!

[@paulamckibben1317]

You two are like the sun and the moon on your wrists.. complete opposites and yet magical together... Jesse did well on Etro still it feels odd to see you two on each other's horses.. can't even imagine Matt on Gaio.. Thanks for another great video.. ❤️ ❤️

[@aniseaarden1136]

i feel like you could put jesse on any horse and he will make it look good just like that, such natural a talent! you two make a great combination between riding with feeling and riding with skill

[@feenixserenity2519]

Yes Matt BUT swallows are very good luck if you have them in your barn.... They also eat a lot of bugs.

[@JLC48]

A friend of mine has the same problem. She hangs buckets under the nests which really helps with the problem. They can also catch a baby bird that may wander too close to the edge.

[@eefenro]

Jesse: stop clicking! Matt " click, click " 😂😂😂

[@KikaCroft1]

“Can I grab mine?” “No, yours are like vegetarian ones!” 😂😂😂

[@julielozano1852]

Matt said “you do what your want I’ll keep quiet” 😂😂 loved it, when you know you know Matt 👍🏻 well done Jesse

[@mappandlucia138]

I never knew riding a horse could be so stressful! 😅 I’m exhausted just watching. It reminded me of a mathematics class, the stress of it all. 😂 Good work though guys, and best of wishes to Etro who is an amazing animal.

[@christinaklein2852]

😂😂😂

[@maggiemant3409]

Omg, such a giggle, when he gets relaxed, Matt hides him 😂😂😂❤❤ love you guys so much, your banter with each other makes my day….🩵🩵😘😘

[@darrenzinck7686]

I love how much Jesse loves the horses and shows them so much physical attention. I know nothing about horse but can only assume they understand the affection they receive???

[@janelifrak426]

Love the plant boxes !!! Another talent you have. Just love watching both of you. So kind to each other and funny…such a gentle positive way with people and your beautiful horses. Everyone is happy. Don’t ever change !!!!

[@paulamckibben1317]

When Matt says he would listen he gets the shocked look from Jesse that he was asking for at the beginning.. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@nang.s.8869]

The last time I watched a video like this with these two, poor Jesse was almost crying, Matt doesn’t realize how critical he can be, Jesse is my favorite of the two but they are both good equestrians.

[@poppymason-smith1051]

I feel Matt always forgets they both ride so different. Ofc Jesse doesnt ride in the sport dressage style, he wont instinctively cue the horse as Matt would. I do love Jesses patience and respect he has it for all horses despite Matts criticisms

[@nlbhaduri]

“So am I meant to be listening to you or what’s the plan?”….Jesse has already guessed that Matt will break his own promise to be quiet. Jesse you did brilliantly! And Matt should NOT make you wear spurs if you dislike them so! Matt, I hope you baby your baby when we’re not looking! Love to you both and your wonderful horses! The window boxes are a nice touch. The barn swallows will help control insects. Very important!

[@davidstanley7285]

"He's getting to relaxed...I'm gonna pause" i died 😂😂

[@chasingfences1302]

I always enjoy your videos together, how about a trail ride with Emporio and Etro? I think Etro and Jesse would enjoy a relaxing trail ride with you and Emporio. 💕💕

[@jeiwaru]

4:15 omg soooo cuuute 😍. Etero just stood so patiently and still for cuddles with Jesse 🥰

[@katiap7065]

Etro's trot and top line have improved sooo much. Jesse was able to connect very well with him. Good job!

[@deborahpetschel5633]

Awwww, Hi Matt and Jesse, my favorite horsey boys! Good to see you! Looking good. Etro has really developed beautifully! So excited to see what you do with the stable. Loving the window plants. Plants are life. ❤

[@biddydibdab9180]

Only another rider knows how much effort it takes to ride. Nice ride Jesse.

[@biggothepiggo]

I think it's really hard for any rider to get on a horse and be placed under scrutiny right away, without having a chance to test the feel, aids and reactions etc. I thought Jesse did an excellent job. I would have been interested in seeing his comments about himself while he watches the footage. Would be curious to see side by side footage of Matt riding Etro and Jesse riding Etro too.

[@diane9071]

Just love watching you both interact with each other. Jesse exudes a natural funny personality with amazingly quick comebacks, Matt you are adorably level headed and focused topped off with a great sense of humor. Cannot wait for your next post 😊

[@ninakaiser2930]

Honestly it was so sweet how Jesse praised Etro and EQs listening to his cues. Matt is an amazing trainer, so precise like Jesse said at the end. Both are very much different. And still, I am sure after a few rides Jesse would ride Etro with a neckrope, too! 😉👍

[@cordywitt6400]

Jesse is riding Etro better than he thinks he does. 😂

[@pattyrodgers3071]

The Stable I volunteer at is a Horse Rescue and apparently we have a rare kind of barn swallow that the local university studies. It is not unusual to have students quietly sitting in corners observing or even in small tents in the barn! They have done it for at least the two years I’ve been there so apparently it is valuable data😊

[@siepsch]

So much fun again 😂. You guys never seem to fail getting a smile on my face. Love to see Jesse and you on eachothers horses, always fun. Mabey a photoshoot with the stallions and you two on them, that would be fun to watch 😊

[@scenicvalleycraftsbytami]

Superstition says that as long as you have swallows in your barn, it will not burn.

[@jeffreycurtis3146]

Jesse naturally gets everything he rides forward in the beginning, and the horses enjoy that . He appears to have great feel and knows when to gently start framing up and moving forward. As you know it’s a gift with the breed . if they get stuck going up and down and not softly forward opening the shoulder it looks a mess . Good job Jesse

[@mariefreeburn8256]

Etro is a pure delight. Jesse is just a beautifully sensitive rider. Although Matt is a good trainer, what happened to not saying anything? 😂. Great video. Although I can’t see why Jesse has to use spurs if he doesn’t want to?

[@swansonganimalcommunicatio4207]

Love this so much but would of loved to of seen the ride proper Yessa style. Bit less and spurless, please do another one where he is truly riding in his own way and see how the beautiful horse processes that way of being xxx

[@donnadiesburg7451]

Thanks Matt! That was fun. Etro is is so beautiful. You take great care of him as I see.😊

[@theshoeman7044]

Etro is a stunning, handsome individual. His color as a bay is beautiful and is matched so well with his dark mane and tail. He is a fine gentleman. Jesse, although his first time riding Etro, looked great. An excellent combination. Matt knows his horse so well: what Etro needs and wants and how to guide him. Thanks to all three of you, Jesse, Matt and Etro for a great ride.

[@Caity_kayy]

Jesse is such an angel!!! 🥹🥹 can we please protect him🤍

[@DuckWhisperer]

We have swallows too at the stables. Very annoying with the mess they make. But they are protected so u can’t remove the nests. But in Belgium u can actually ask for money based on how many nests u have on your property. Maybe that’s something in the Netherlands too?

[@izzyb1428]

I love whenever they start arguing the video cuts to a new part 😭😂

[@christinemartindale8715]

Your both exceptional riders l like you both in different ways style wise. I think Jesse has the magic touch with any horse and you Matt are similar in a slightly different way all in all your both beautiful riders. Hope Jesse’s ankle get better that’s sore when your riding.tfs😎🏇😎

[@momo241267]

I absolutely love your videos, both of you are awesome riders, I know the swallows make a bit of a mess, but they are amazing birds, aerial acrobatics! But they also eat a lot of insects and flys, which is good for our equine friends ❤️🤩

‘I don’t think he likes that’ Jesse being his intuitive self.

[@coldnuit]

Always lovely to see Jesse ride Matt's horses, I just wish he could do it his own way. But I also understand why Matt insists on doing things the same way he does, as to keep the training consistent and not "confuse" him. I just have a feeling that Jesse probably doesn't (or never has) taken a serious dressage lesson like that, and even if he did, probably not in english so he might not be sure what Matt's asking of him sometimes? Or maybe he just doesn't enjoy this style of riding as much and prefers to connect with a horse in a different way. Either way, love the two of you and always happy to see whatever content you share! So excited to hear everything else u have planned for the future!

[@kathleenmcginley4827]

Been thinking ever since the last video of your announcement of leasing the stables... you have been tweaking up your home stables and the grounds are just stunning for a horse 'hobby' farm. You are limited there. I've watched you two long enough to know that horses are your lives. Leasing is the next step to ownership where a large place could expand & fulfil all your needs, as well as house all your horses (personal/sale/client). My guess you are on the road to sell your home and make the new stables home. A little at a time, it too will be a outstanding destination and hub of activity. Please let us know what the dream is for you and Jesse. So enjoy watching your journey.

[@elly8873]

When I remember correctly they just renovated their whole house like they wanted...I'm pretty sure they don't sell anything soon yet😅

[@kathleenmcginley4827]

Yes, I've been subbed for a long time, but I think Matt thrives on challenge. He loves designing - but most of all they love their horses. To have them all under 1 roof will be wort it.@@elly8873

[@gayfry899]

Such a beautiful horse. I do love the way you all take such good care of your horses.

[@carolcarol3938]

Jesse, you really are a very good rider who has great instincts and connections with any horse. I think Etro is used to the use of the spurs and your usual rising method of just legs on was making the difference that Matt was noticing in his "forwardness. I understand the lack of desire for the spurs. He really looked a great size for you too. Well done!
