NEW STALLION IN THE AQUATRAINER FOR THE FIRST TIME!

[@prunerd4744]

He looks much more open, expressive and relaxed compared to when you got him ! Seems like he's coming out of his shell :) Good job on getting him used to the aquatrainer with no movement or water !

[@Rociero1991]

I love how he assumed as soon as it stopped that he deserved a treat. Like that face was all "hey, where's my treat? I was a good boy!"

[@darksarcasm4835]

He is so lovely! I love the way he was so careful as he left the Aquatrainer-amazing for the first time!

[@donnapalmeri9573]

He is so refined and quiet! Etro looks very gentle! Much Love and Good Wishes to you BOTH. xoxo😊😊🐴

[@FluxyMiniscus]

Bravo Etro! He did really well, I was anticipating more fireworks, but it looked like he got something good out of it. Did you notice the lick and chew when he got back to his stall? He was saying, “oh, is that it? Cool. Cool cool cool”

[@ari-etta]

Would love to see this with Emporio for Comparison.

[@sabahranks]

Comparison 👍

[@ari-etta]

@@sabahranks Thanks, I was looking for that word.

[@laurelgallahar1444]

That's so cute. You're like a first time dad dropping your kid off at daycare ☺️

[@Boyland8692]

He is such a beautiful horse he was definitely a great acquisition to your herd. ❤

[@fluffymountainbunny]

He's off to a really good start which is great! I think it'd be really interesting if the horse psychic came back, to see what Emporio thinks of Etro and vice versa!

[@mk6945]

Such a beautifully built horse. Great disposition.

[@Carole2Kittens]

Interesting tool. I've never heard of it before. He is a beautiful horse 🐎 and seems to have a great personality and disposition.🏆⚘

[@terrymcfarland809]

He's a beautiful horse. It's nice that he's not gigantic like your other horses.

[@parkerellis2010]

I love seeing how horses try so hard to please us. They are truly a wonderful partner.

[@rottiegirl0077]

I take my dogs to workout in an aquatrainer. It's great for dogs that have orthopedic issues.

[@marysheehy4733]

Etro was wonderful. Love how you take your time with him building trust

[@alikatyeg3295]

The dry runs paid off; he handled that like a champ. The starting and stopping of a treadmill throw me off balance too, but Etro will probably adjust to it quickly. The draining/stopping was the part where he got a 'WTF!' look on his face but he didn't panic or even try to rush out the gate when it opened. Such a good boy! I suspect the Aquatrainer crew will find him a pleasure to work with.

[@jgirr5824]

Thank you Matt for taking us along! Thoroughly enjoyed this update! At the ending of Etro's session it reminded me of a conveyer belt at the store, *beep boop beep* and into my shopping cart we go. Lol. 🤪 Thanks again love! ❣❣❣ Stay safe 🙏

[@jodiedwards2634]

Interesting video. Etro is beautiful, and I’m amazed how calm he is, even when he’s nervous…especially for a stallion. You have a real gem there Matt, and it seems the struggles to get him were well worth the rollercoaster 🎢. Kudos on your perseverance! Hopefully his training continues to progress nicely, he’s going to be THE BEST! Stay safe and stay healthy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@alclubb]

Bravo to Etro! He did much better than I would have done. He did great for the first time. And you were wise to practice with him for a couple of days beforehand.

[@carryledwards]

Etro did a fantastic job for being afraid of water. At the end he spooked alittle when she was letting the water out, but all in all he did really well. Matt he is such a beautiful horse. Enjoy your free days off. Now while you're gone and they put Etro in the aqua trainer will they have someone on each side of him to keep him calm? Are you from Australia? Have fun💝🐈‍⬛🐕🐈🐎💝

[@siepsch]

Aaah so proud of him! And i see a difference in his eyes, so happy to see that ❤️

[@dboley1950]

He is so beautiful, I love his colors. This will be good for your horse I hope.

[@Serenitynow3]

Beautiful horse! So happy it worked well for him!

[@kht.paddestoel]

I love the video! Good job Matt

[@helenabiesma5560]

beautiful horse Matt love it -- good luck with him

[@clockendfarm]

He did VERY well! I think it took him a while to find his "land legs" coming down the ramp! This is a fab device; I've never seen one before. Over here we more usually see the salt water spas that splash round their legs with Jacuzzi jets while they stand still. Tried that with my horse twice - turned out he was allergic to the salt so it kind of did more harm than good unfortunately.

[@lizziecotter2349]

Fabulous, well done big hugs 🤗🤗

[@pal7252]

That was wonderful. 🥰

[@terriesavage4897]

he was a good boy for his first time. that is so cool to be able to do that as a training tool

[@runevancraywinkel426]

8:27 oh that's a nice message on the black board, it says "hey you, yeah you! Did someone tell you today how amazing you are?"

[@cordywitt6400]

After a while he will like it. Such a sweet horse. 💖💖💖

[@celiacbabe58]

What a good first experience for him. Just getting ready for the floor to move is unnerving. Then a bit of water-he's wondering about what the purpose of this exercise? After the H2O disappeared he's like... Whaaaat? Good boy👍😃

[@badlander2000]

Aww he looks so happy afterwards. He handled it like a champ!

[@tlangdon]

He’s so cute😍

[@lesleyallinson8738]

Yoall looking good glad your both well

[@pagejohnson2316]

I bet that feels soooo good in the heat!

[@michelineduvieusart2439]

It was a great idea to train Etro to enter this narrow 'box' so that he would feel safe. Now it's the day of the test and the noise, the moving floor and the water are added . Not easy to handle all these new things for a novice and I congratulate Etro for his success. Lots of love to the brave boy and his proud daddy! Thank you for this interesting video Matt! 🐴😍👏💙

[@suzycue9278]

He is such a nice horse and seems kind hearted 👍

[@tracycameron5099]

He is so interested and willing to trust I felt. And an incredible beauty... Wondering: any news on Sureno? Have a great holiday! so hot here too in Niagara Canada. Humidity the worst!

[@katyasilitch4539]

Aw, he did so well!!! He really wants to please you Matt.

[@holliberry2614]

He is soooo cute!! I have an 18 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy........and Etro reminds me of him....big , brown, and sweet.

[@helenabiesma5560]

And Matt you talked as Brugman - meaning you are in your element - love the commenting you have done so far flawless

He has the sweetest nature.

[@joeyriley6354]

He is absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@jennifermastin7169]

Yeah!!! Yeah!!! YEAH!!! He did SOO GREEAT!! Extremely proud and he’s not even my horse… haha. I love seeing you hands on Matt. I know how it is having others do the “dirty work” but it’s really nice to see you hands on doing the actually “hard work”. I wish you would show and make longer videos. I don’t watch much on KZbin but when I do I always notice your videos are so incredibly short and not often at all my “friend” ,not friend (haha, lol) but you know what I mean surly. I really enjoy all you and Jesse do so please keep it up!! Thanks

[@michelemason1663]

I think he is really proud of himself! ❤️

[@danaventura5998]

Seeing the doors on the stalls on that barn with no top door or bars reminded me of a video I watched from England where the fire service had to remove the bottom door of a Dutch door when a stallion tried to climb over it and got stuck midway. Stallions can be very determined especially if they smell a mare in heat. Hopefully those openings in the top are escape proof.

[@heaven77ish]

Just to addhe is absolutely stunning

[@Lealea64]

He's absolutely beautiful 💙

[@LayllasLocker]

I have this feeling that horses do lil' exercise like normal walk, a bit of running, and BOOM they are RIPPED! full muscles. XD

[@carolsteinberg5584]

What a good boy! ❤️

He looks way more confortable than Chase was his first time, you did a great job desensitising him

[@elisejessica267]

No he doesn’t chase went straight in the first time with no issue

[@alclubb]

Chase did great. It was Soreno that was very uncomfortable and afraid.

[@christinemartindale8715]

He’s gorgeous and so good tfs Matt.😎🏇😎

[@heaven77ish]

Setting small goals for a horse to achieve and be successful is always money in the bank for thr next experience. Building trust like this is tiny steps is what it is all about. This is how influences can have a really positive influence on the public at large. Show how to give and take in the relationship

[@MariaM-ii6od]

Always love to see PREs with their Spanish flag bridle! Etro is such a stunning animal

[@gerickson9552]

That is a brilliant tool!!

[@heathergustafson4237]

Very very good!

[@pawsedclaws]

I had to do that years ago in physical therapy, but my water was warm & about chest high. I loved it! You don’t realize how much you have done until you come out of the water & exhaustion sets in. Etro should improve faster doing this than if he was normally worked.

[@chrisp9012]

What a sweet boy he is!

The last time u put your ex horse Sureno in aquatrainer next video was about his injury… so I’m scared a little bit about this thing. Hope everything will be ok

[@BirdyJ0]

I like how you admit you get nervous and don't know what you're doing. All the proof is in asking a horse to walk forward while you're facing them and blocking their way.....

[@maryannwelton9517]

I take that back Matt, I see nervous tension on your face. ME TOO. 😱🤯🙈🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@vivianwinford3681]

Definitely has clean hooves now. Good way to cool off after a workout or an injury rehabilitation. 💘 🐎 🇺🇸

[@leaflover3497]

Being in the water helps all of us. Very healing.

[@aylishprince4664]

Using the sea could work as well.

[@msusanpeck1071]

He reminds me soo much of my horse...:-)) So "Spooky" for him is because he is a Thinker. As he matures and builds relationship with you, the spooky will turn into asking you questions. This part is so often ignored and not developed because we are soo trained to "MAKE" horses do things, as a result his intelligence gets turned into Fear. Thank you for allowing him the time to get it. He really wants to do great for you! I notice from the last time you two are connecting. Congrats!! and Bravo to you both!! Also is I may suggest, Eventually you can save the "clucking" to mean canter. Your focus is what he listens to. The softer the better. "Clucking" is about a 7 on a scale of 1-10 in regards to how soft you can become in your communication. Thanks for sharing. Have fun!!

[@julieb3996]

I imagine him like the new kid at school being nervous and trying hard to "fit in." I would really like to hear what the "horse psychic" says, he seems to really want to please, almost as though he heard you are hard to impress!

[@hannalang9233]

Alright I got a dumb question I know when many people get off treadmills they feel a little uneasy on their feet or something close to dizziness. Do horses get that too on the Auquatrainer?

[@EdieDawnJay]

Not dumb at all! They do certainly get that, with treadmill training too. You can even see Etro here when he is walked out of the aquatrainer and his legs are a little shaky and he lowers his head real far to assure himself that he's got his balance.

You could go with him to a horse swimming pool. This is a very good training for the back of the horse. Swimming relieves the back.
