RIDING A DIFFICULT COURSE WITH GAIO! [Christmas Themed]

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well! I always think its so important to do so many different things with your horse. First because its fun of course but also just to make sure your horse usable to think instead of only react and get stressed. Something that's really good for Gaio and this was only the first time. I am very proud of him! When you havent seen any other videos about him, make sure to check these out on my channel to get to know him a bit better and his background.
I want to wish you the best Christmas days and enjoy watching!! :)

I'm so happy he's still uploading "normal" videos even though they're now doing horseworldTV :)

[@carlabrandmaier]

@Amelia S it's their new website where you can watch videos with riders, etc. but you have to subscribe to it and pay a monthly fee, hope that explanations fits. You can look it up! :)

[@carolcaley6860]

First Time?? He did good.

[@coldnuit]

I adore Gaio. he has such a fun personality and gosh, he is beautiful.

[@xSandygirlx]

Jesse is such a good and patient trainer

[@primrosecullen8488]

Honestly one of the very best.

[@hollywill2226]

Yes he is!!

[@hollywill2226]

Primrose Cullen his giggles of pure delight are the best too!!

[@Doryplory]

And he was soo gentle and understanding when Gaio was a little nervous.

[@bdearmond]

Horses, puppies, Christmas and Jesse - Life is good.

[@Anna-kb6or]

So true :D

[@donnapalmeri9573]

YES,YES IT IS!!! 😊

[@barbjohnson8474]

I love it! At first he was like "What is THIS???" but later you could see him thinking. I think he enjoyed it and you could teach him to open the "gate" by himself!

[@natz6589]

🤣🤣 "let me wear dis beanie..." 🤣♥️

[@cordywitt6400]

Matt: OMG! (always worried about Jesse) Jesse: so much fun (even Gaio went wild in the canter) 😄😄😄

[@xxerinandfaithxx9914]

your horses have such gorgeous names!

[@katehobbs2008]

Every time Gaio goes into an arena, he would on some level expect that a bull may be brought in. Hard to erase that memory. 🇦🇺

[@ohlottie]

I find that so sad.

[@le.z3734]

„You have experienced riding a boat?“ I AM SCREAMING😂😂😂

[@primrosecullen8488]

But when you "drive" the boat...you kind of ride it?! 😂

[@hollywill2226]

Primrose Cullen yeah but aren't boats like cars? He meant floats I think!?? Love Jesse so much❤️

[@primrosecullen8488]

@@hollywill2226 Are they? I have no idea, maybe we need a storytime on that😂😘

[@melanieknutzen4120]

I love the calmness from Jesse even when Gaio gets nervous or confused

[@TheChristinairene]

I am so happy Jesse uploaded a new video. This was such a fun, entertaining video, it made my day. Also Matt’s commentary from behind the camera always makes me laugh.

[@hollywill2226]

They're a natural comedy team I think!!

[@TheEvilMinion]

The dogs having a rip snort around the arena crack me up.

[@soranamazilu7651]

Never thought seeing a horse step onto cardboard would genuinly make me so happy

[@Smudgemom2003]

8:26....”I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. Demille!” He needs the truck-backup-beep...THATS what is missing. This course reminds me of the Barrel-Racing we have here in the States...man, those horses FLY

[@mixdeffect1101]

I really get the part where you said that Gaio needs to think before reacting and this is exactly what I'v been looking for with my own horse that also reacts before even looking at what spooked her and then realizing it was nothing to get spooked about. Thank you for uploading good and interesting content! And happy hollidays!

[@callme_tyler742]

Matt looking out the window: oh dear...

[@finnegan1657]

100% yes! 🤣🤣🤣

[@laurajeanbotha5321]

Jesse everything you do, you put your heart & soul into it, whether trick training, serious riding, beach riding or fun things ... Oops I forgot about your adorable girls Mazy & Penny ❤❤ You have such a "naughty boy" sense of humour. In this terrible year we're having you are such a pleasure to watch, an escapism for 20 minutes with loads of laughter. Never lose your great personality that makes your horses love you & us too 🥰

[@hollywill2226]

Ditto that!!💯

[@ameliaharrington8591]

Gaio’s canter is so cute and short strided, I love it

[@Redo-hg7xj]

Jesse never lose your quirky spin on horse training. Love it!

[@Delephene]

What a wonderful personality Giao has. He’s adorably hilarious and so much fun to watch

[@Nadja.BerylliumN]

I love the way how Jesse is not taking himself and everything dead serious. And by the way does lots of things intuitively right...like e.g. to canter slowly round those poles. So Gaio didn't have to choose cross-canter to keep his balance. Jesse is honest, loving and unpretentious in his approach to horses. ❤ 👍 🙂

[@rachelg2721]

Gaio’s “Christmas hat” at the end is perfect 👌

[@pieceofhope8264]

This is like trail riding, a part of the western discipline

[@donnapalmeri9573]

I love the way Antares is standing in the background,watching Jesse ride another horse!!😘😍🥰❤👏👏🐎🌲

[@vivianwinford3681]

An idea to try next: set up 3 barrels in a large triangle like in American Rodeos and have him run barrels. Oh and I like the bareback pad and the no bit bridle. The bareback pad would be very marketable. Nice video. Like seeing doing something fun.

[@saramas2100]

this horse is more collected than most of grand prix dressage horses I usually watch on fei tv :D He gives so much ♥

[@luguy8347]

Gaio is a beautiful horse, as is Jesse. Jesse is pure joy. He whole nature is so loveable. Matt and Jesse get along so well, they suit one another. Happy Holidays.

[@isa7352]

I'm like 'aaaw' all the time because aaaaw Jesse has such a sweet soul

[@kmil1967]

I just fell in love with Gaio he’s such a fun loving horse 🐴 and I totally enjoyed your video 🤩

[@mdee860]

Love it! So glad you are engaging Gaio's mind while having fun. I can see him starting to understand that neck pats & Matt saying 'Good Boy' are good things. Nice to see him getting rewards for doing the right things. The 1st video I saw of him, (besides drooling over him 🥰) he didn't really seem to understand kindness & praise. He's already come a long way! Well done 👏👏👏

[@dottysworld6317]

That was super nice to watch! You and Gaio have a super great Basis which shows and he has amazing control of his legs and body at least it seems to me! Also Matt behind the camera always adds some comedy and we love to see it hahaha And Jesse don't feel self conscious about your hair we love you no matter how wild your hairstyle may be!

[@gabbiequestrian3939]

Gaio is so gorgeous and his lips are just darling! You are such an inspirational horse rider and care taker! Those flying changes were spectacular! 🤩🤩

[@magicalhealerclairvoyant521]

Guyo has calmed down so much Jessie... the turning for a treat is adorable! Loved the video unconditionally to you and yours! Hugs ✨💖✨

[@AulicExclusiva]

Charming horse, full of personality.

[@lytab5]

Those eyes and those lashes on lovely Gaio! *hearteyes* He's like my dream horse.... He's so brave and he's in for trying everything. Such a cool execise!

[@MLOCharmer]

Jessie has a great technique and a great seat

[@LucasTPate]

Oh that Christmas “gate” test was pretty & very festive.

[@cheriewarrick394]

Thank you, Merry Christmas

[@fernlintner65]

Very much like western trail class love it! Love that bareback pad

[@hollywill2226]

Thanks for giving your time to bring joy to your fans - we need to be uplifted, don't we? Love for a great holiday for you and Matt and your family from USA❤️

[@tommycarlier9617]

I'm so glad we still get these videos with horseworldTV! This is the kind of fun, chill content i love watching. Gaio did great for his first time!

[@nunya8843]

Horse so smart, thinker, I love him. He has personality.

[@rumorhasit9506]

Your horses love playing with you. You make learning fun for them and they look like they are so curious about what you are teaching them and what will come next. You are such a natural horseman, Jesse.

[@april.w4156]

1:54 *Jesse is talking* Me: mhm alrighty Doggos in the background: I am speed! Me: WHA

[@7thMack]

I love the commentary at the end, “ok, spooking, spooking, bolting…” made me laugh, and as a rider I could practically *feel* the horse just spring-loading for the bolt.

[@pattirockgarden4423]

You have done great things with this former bull fighting horse! Bravo, Jesse!

[@Trapezius8oblique]

Nice job Jesse, I found myself smiling throughout . At the beginning it looked like Gaio was doing some talking with his mouth moving so much. Good fun.

[@mari22]

Gaio is just so gorgeous 🧡!! I’m so happy, that he now obviously has the best possible, kind, talented owner. Jesse understands him so well. And love his Christmas hat at the end 🤣🎄

[@janetoconnell8295]

You are a great rider! Patient, calm, great balance. We practice this at my barn. Its a lot harder than it looks.

[@Olivia.Boyd.]

You two are such a lovely pair! It’s been great to see Gaio progress, and he’s so much more confident with you!

[@rockermystic]

Matt sounds like every riding instructor I ever had. 😂😂 Loved this, especially for Gaio, putting his brains to good use instead of letting them run away with him! Happy Christmas, Jesse! 💗

[@louisecassidy5991]

I think, for his first go at working equitation, he's just the right sort of horse to get into this. How about showing viewers a clip of one of the top Portuguese riders, but not the speed trial. Matt wants speed! Horse not ready, needs to understand its a game. I'm old and done, grounded, but I do love watching the experts, and plenty of non-horsy people come here to admire your skills, without knowing what the goal is, so a clip please. Gaio is very good at the "short canter" required to negotiate everything carefully and neatly, plus they are not at all concerned about head carriage, just hold at wherever they "pack their head" and never a twitch of tail or anything, so calm and perfect, very aware and looking for each obstacle and seem to enjoy it. But Gaio has it, he could come to this. Greetings from Australia.

[@gee-gee-cat]

Happy xmas Jesse

[@allisonhoward6544]

Gaio is so gorgeous! You have done so well with him!

Gaio knows that he is one stunningly beautiful horse and also very smart. Oh!! I can only dream.

[@laurelgallahar1444]

Wonderful to watch, sometimes riders do forget just to have fun with their horses 🙂

[@bensherman8925]

Good job Gaio, you’re a clever boy. The cardboard was a bit scary but you figured it out 👍

[@clairetomkyns175]

Gaio has beautiful eyes! Jesse has a seat of super glue!

[@annadevries9291]

I admire your passion, care and effort into the horses, never lose your great personality that makes us and the horses very joyful.

[@Elbylicious]

That's such a fun idea! I love how much time you give this boy with the busy mouth to build confidence and face challenges that are new but not dangerous for him! He has come a long way and you can be proud of yourself for it.

[@cheryloja6237]

This excercise was alot of fun and both you two guys are so cute, here in the USA we do alot of obstacle training and it's an awesome way to keep your horses excited about their jobs. Love to see you doing this with the big boys as well, get some barrels

[@Anna-kb6or]

That's amazing 😂 totally Christmas feeling!

[@samoakes1304]

I love jumping on a 30 yr old ex eventer. He’s a lesson pony now and mostly works with little kids, but he still really enjoys cross country and bareback jumping. I want to do more bareback on him, and maybe convince my instructor to let us compete. He gets so happy and just races around when we’re bareback like he’s young again. I have been looking for a bareback pad so that I don’t hurt his old back. I hope this is for sale soon😁

[@Pennywise1078]

I cannot even begin to say how much I LOVE Gaio! He is so cute! Him playing with his lips was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time !

[@primrosecullen8488]

14:28 That´s me, trying to parallel park my car. 😂😂🥰🥰

[@JesseDrent]

😂😂

[@susantescione8007]

Normally obstacle course training is all on foot first. You might take an entire session to do one obstacle. You gradually add on tricks as you go through an entire course. For Giao to do this course mounted and finish it completely in one sitting is remarkable and a testament to how well trained he is.

[@cricket1301]

I ditto your comments

[@Doryplory]

Yes he's a very clever horse and has a good trainer

[@elizabethmccrossan7873]

I really loved this video. It’s inspirational for me. I want to try out some stuff with my horse as well. Matt behind the camera is so much fun. I love how you two always joke around. Gaio has improved so much. So cute to see how he tries his best. I think Gaio would fit perfectly in your family of pets. I really hope you could buy him one day and that he gets to stay with you in the new stable 😍Gaio is so lucky to have such a great life now. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🏻. Stay healthy and safe

[@coffeegirl6854]

Gaio is very nice. I have never seen him before. That is a nice bareback pad. Comfy looking. My father had bought me a bareback pad not nice like yours...I never used it. I just rode bareback. I think it is the best way to learn to ride really. A real connection/ communication with horse and rider. Imho. Love watching you ride and communicate with your horses. Fascinating.

[@sarahdebruin2175]

For example like a ‘slalom’.I really like it when you suddenly throw in some Dutch words 😂😂🇳🇱
