The Cactus Classic Run For A Million Qualifier " Hanging With Matt "

[@kaylacrone4099]

This video was by far your best! I love the raw footage at the show. Please please please do another show vlog like this one!!! ❤ I love to see both the ups and downs at the show cause that’s realistic and it’s nice to see that a professional goes through the exact same emotions and struggles that the rest of us go through.

[@erikaboylan309]

I totally love the "real" footage. It just makes me respect you even more. You show both sides of showing and don't present a false persona like most everyone else does. It just makes me root for you even more! Keep up the great work! Your hard work shows, and you earn every win!!!

[@carolmac5944]

Thanks for taking us along.I can't imagine the stress . God bless

[@rockymountainmorning]

I was on the edge of my seat every second of this video! You show the huge amount of effort. And, as your video says, it doesn't aways go the way you want. You are a true gentleman either way. What a heartbreak of a day. Truly beautiful reining, what an athlete of a rider you are, and out of this world horses! You put on a spectacular and inspiring ride!!!!!!

[@victoriacohen3319]

G’day Matt Karen Ryan Team supporters & Co ;-) Congratulations Matt we’ll done mate ✅ you are one of the best of the best and you can be pretty tough on yourself, good scores super nice training, me personally loved the backfire! Lol.. All the horses look magnificent, absolute world class horses ! With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom wealth and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xoxo 😘

[@farmlivin3418]

Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing. Cueing a half ton animal with a mind of its own, is so much more than a sport or even an art. Perfection on horses is pure fate, and only happens when every fiber of the human meshes harmoniously with every fiber of the horse for the duration of their pattern. Matt Mills is a top shelf horseman! You're doing everything so well, keep it up.

[@MaterialWhirl]

Oh my gosh, that last run with Money! I could not stop cheering and grinning! You two were in beast mode!! I agree with others that I like seeing the raw footage and just seeing things unfold. Awesome awesome job!

[@lindamusso4437]

Ur horses are amazing ! Met u and ur wife last weekend at Wec having dinner with my Arabian trainer John Rannenberg . First time ever watching reining . Hope y’all had a successful show . Best of luck

[@mattmillsreining1]

Was a pleasure meeting you

[@ironhorseperformancehorses8271]

That first run was stellar! But Money Carlo is a beast! Loved watching you ride and you keep inspiring me bc one day I know I’m going to stop like that! I’ve got the horse I just got to get there! Thank you so much for sharing the behind the scenes footage with us all!

[@susanmelton8525]

From the first time I saw you and Money, I felt that this horse and Matt will become a legend. I still believe that this may be your " horse of a lifetime". It WILL happen!

[@darlenebracken5482]

Chef's kiss Matt...from start to finish, beautifully done!!!

[@lauca6969]

Matt you are everything that a cowboy stands for. Keep killing it !

[@rubenjacobo-rubio3702]

So much respect for all the prep and work that goes into this. Glag to see Alejandro show as well and get that first one out of the way.

[@deballen8046]

Such an excellent video. Shout out to all that put this together. The work ethic put in by your team including yourself speaks to the quality of the runs. Except for the one hiccup, the horses showed themselves to be the athletes they are. Whenever I get smacked by a closed door, I just change direction and say okay what's next...let's go. I look forward to watching what is next for you and the team.

[@MeLC_777]

Wonderful show!!!! Amazing stops!!!! Gooder AND Matt… that was a terrific showing!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 💯💯💯💯💯

[@annacross6646]

Love your work with your horses Matt. Keep up the good enthusiasm and work!🙌🏽

[@mattmillsreining1]

I appreciate you!

[@ST-lt4ls]

This takes me back to my teenage years. I worked for an arabian western pleasure trainer. I'd have to work for him for 4 hours to get a one hour lesson, or a one hour talk. LOL. I learned a ton from that man. He had a handlebar mustache. Never forget that face. I LOVE living vicariously through you by watching your stuff. I hope to get back to horses soon.

[@CC-xk6cp]

[@irishgirl4331]

WTG Matt…Nice ride👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍀🇺🇸

[@kristaprice1954]

I didnt hear the score on Gooder dangit!

[@FaithLynn111]

Stopper is an absolute best!! Big things are coming!!

[@bethkennedy3918]

I know it wasnt the run you wanted, but Im in love with the second (Stopper) horse ♥️ .

[@alanamiles.equineservices]

What does the nose piece do that's under all the horses bridle in the warmup?

[@Champion5150]

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@janicedorsey3945]

I'm no judge but, I know what I like and I really think they score you low and I'm not sure why because it's not your riding, and it sure the heck isn't the horses. Oh so the stopper kicked out but everything else was top notch‼️ love love love watching you and now Alejandro ride, still wish I would have taken up the sport when I had the chance.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And I love watching your wife Karen be your cheerleader or biggest fan so cute‼️❤️❤️❤️good job Karen.

[@ironhorseperformancehorses8271]

I don’t know how old you are but there is a woman a friend of mine shows with who is seventy and just started showing rookie and even got reserve in the rookie TRFAM challenge! Age doesn’t matter as long as you try hard and you’re doing what you love! Good luck to you!

[@monicap1717]

💯🤠👍🏻🍎

[@kristiwetsel9531]

Still proud of Alejandro

[@truthxposed8975]

Question. Do these athletes get drug tested like they do in thoroughbred/ quarter horse racing?

[@allisonconley6339]

Can't believe he just smacks his horse ???? What is that all about????

[@janelkunza9045]

Is he getting points removed due to that nonstop whooping? More filler and wefts, with less screaming please😀

[@mckenna5856]

The cheering is highly encouraged in the reining world.

[@buckleyscooter]

To many people screaming in the background. Couldn't continue to watch.😢
