SURPRISING A FAN (she had no idea)

Hey guys, this week I got asked by a dutch tv Chanel (RTL4) to surprise a very special girl who has been going through a tough time! I am beyond happy to have been able to make this happen. Lets spread the Christmas love!

she was clearly shocked and probably also a bit shy so can people please stop being so quick to judge!!! i’m sure she’s very grateful.

[@PoniesOnWheels]

emmie exactly! And people have no idea wether her rough time this year was due to medical problems. I know when I’m on certain medications I’m pretty dull and can’t express emotions how I normally would.

[@caryulmer7063]

Ponies On Wheels Didn't they say her mother said something about a surgery? Let's face it, he is stunningly handsome, if I had a blindfold removed & it was done by someone who looked like him I wouldn't know what to say. 😄

[@sweet68pea]

@@caryulmer7063 sorry id have fainted

[@lillianwoods2290]

Not all people react in the same way, just because she didn't cry doesn't mean she was "ungrateful." Everyone expresses there feelings and emotions in there own ways! And in no way was she being ungrateful. Btw That's so nice of Matt to take time out of his day to surprise one of his fans who has been struggling the past year. I'm sure she is very grateful and will always remember this!

[@Julia-fo6tj]

Agree. They said that this girl had a tough year so it's okay that she wasn't jumping and laughing and crying. We don't know what happened in her life and we can't expect everyone react in the same way...

[@katijes1541]

I agree! I wouldn't have cried either, and that wouldn't have meant that I'm not happy or grateful😅 it's just the way i am. Everyone is different👍

[@SophiaEquine]

I get red and blush and if it’s really exiting my stomach drops

[@theph0enix24]

She just looked like she was a bit in shock and fan girling.

[@theph0enix24]

Also people forget there's camera's and all attentions on her, she could be shy and nervous to be filmed.

[@outoftime7740]

And Jesse with his blond hair is just a beaming of light, saying, "We're here!" "We're here!." Lol. Good job you guys.

Special moments!!

[@elsag4870]

just becuase she didnt start crying or jump up and down and scream or whatever, doesnt mean she didnt care or didnt appreciate matt's visit! some people are just more calm like that. and they even said she was shocked. she seems very sweet and im sure she was happy to meet him, and thankful for the things she got. :)

[@leekopf9475]

I'm sure she was just trying not to make a fool out of herself. If only she knew how shy Matt really is....they did seem to find a common ground and got to talking after they thought no one was watching.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Right there was a TV station there. I would freeze

[@luguy8347]

Standardbred Adventures Yes, agree, both boys are truly delightful. Kind individuals.

[@samanthawright8830]

She got the double whammy because Jesse was there too! I feel like most people would be fans of both so she is super lucky. And it was a very nice thing to do!

[@char7220]

Not the only one but certainly at the top of a very shortlist.

[@katarinafatur]

[@leekopf9475]

I was thrilled to see just how Matt helped overcame her shyness. Like we needed another reason to love that guy! He walked next to her as she rode her horse all tacked up in her new stuff. This put her physically above him. Immediately puts her at ease cause she has the power of the horse on her side. This forces her to look down on Matt. Can't be scared of someone at a distance from you. Matt created a "safe space" for her and then never left her side. Matt I don't know if you did this intentionally or instinctively. Either way it was exactly what was needed in this situation. Either way it speaks of a childhood filled with warmth & security. God bless your parents Matt. They did a very fine job indeed.

I'm not a cryer but that made me cry because of the love and tenderness you showed her💔 and how real you got with Jesse about being rejected. BRAVO! That's the Christmas spirit!

Why, I watch..........the kindness shown towards each other, kindness to the horses, kindness to share their lives with us. Matt just give her a hug, talks away to encourage her, very generous. T.V cameras are daunting if your not accustom to them. Obviously, Matt is comfortable and comforting. It was sweet.

[@chaoticconjuring]

Despite the fact that you were nervous and “don’t normally do this”, it was super sweet that you agreed to surprise a fan to brighten her Christmas. As for the “she may just be like ‘I should’ve stayed home’” comment, you clearly underestimate how much your fans adore you 🤣 Thank you so much for this heartwarming vid and Merry Christmas to you and Jesse!

[@karid.4371]

Awww that was super sweet, and you could tell she was very shy but you could see by the way her mom hugged her, She KNEW this was a dream come true for her!! GOOD JOB MATT.

[@Rickiesgurl]

Matt...you have a huge heart. This brought me to tears. Much love from Canada!🤗💓🤗

[@karynefagg209]

Matt we know you are kind and this was great to see, the quiet respect you showed this girl is lovely to see, only seeing glimpses of what was recorded was good, but I'm sure that all the time you spent with her is something she will always remember and smile about in the future. Jesse loved your input and support of Matt, great teamwork again, Hope you both enjoy Christmas - who is cooking the turkey?

[@rustymcnitt5508]

So very kind and sweet of you Matt. You always seem to get so nervous when you're doing something new, but that's ok because it's being real and heart felt not just pretending. Love you both in my own way and hope you both have a very Merry Christmas and beautiful New Year. Best always Rusty

[@eleniantoniou534]

This beautiful looked so shocked. She has a lovely seat in the saddle and rides so well, even with you there, Matt, to make her nervous. And I have to say that it seems all horses want to smooch up to you. It is so sweet.

[@bonblue4993]

[@darlene8721]

Awww...She's a shy young lady🤗You probably have more experience in front of large vidio cameras than her.The sweet smile she gave when you were handing her items from the box was so good. Her horse looked so beautiful.What a wonderful thing. God Bless and Merry Christmas.🤗💖

Awesome Matt, I often watch you and Jesse but this video, this act of kindness was truly enjoyable. Your kindness to this young lady was inspiring. But to watch you be a bit out of your comfort zone was fun and funny. Merry Christmas to you, Jesse, all the horses and your friends, from a senior viewer that doesn't even own a horse. lol

I would have been so embarrassed if my mom did this to me! Grateful and happy, of COURSE, but I would have reacted quite similarly. Both Matt and the girl handled a slightly awkward situation gracefully and it's so nice that they got a chance to sit and have a chat together, tack up together, and have a lesson. Spreading positivity and love. Yay!

[@barbaragalbreth4429]

Matt, you're a very nice man, and yes you do, do sweet stuff all the time! When you do kind things in the lives of your special people, it still counts. The reality is girls like you, you're attractive, much like the gorgeous horses you own. Sometimes young women get crushes, NEVER expecting to face them. I'm sure she was a bit shell shocked. I can hear her thinking, " my hair, my make-up, my clothes? OMG!" I thought she looked great but you know how teen girls are when meeting handsome young men who ride beautiful horses, however, she easily got past it and that's good. Very kind of you to take the time to cheer someone up.
