Dear Matt, I have never had a horse, but I have always had very long hair. When I was a child, my mother would always start brushing my hair from the top down. That would cause pain when she would hit tangles in my hair, but she just kept brushing through in spite of my tears. But, someone told he that she should start from the bottom & work her way up, & that not only worked through the tangles more effectively, but it reduced my pain considerably. And, it's the only way I brush my hair to this day. As you were brushing Emprio's tail, I noticed that he jumped when you hit a tangle, & I know that you adore him & wouldn't want to cause him the LEAST little bit of discomfort. If you start from the bottom of his tail & move up, not only will it work better, it will be more comfortable for him, & at the end, the brush will just glide through the whole tail!

[@smugbugs7031]

Yess i thought the same thing!

[@ApequH]

I noticed that to! It's also faster if you start on the bottom, starting from the top pulls the tangles tighter

[@BoK4711]

@marniesutton so did my mother. I have very thick and curly hair and as kid it was a nightmare being brusht. I can tell you Matt, it hurts like hell! Entagle bottom up is better!

[@lynnegee6814]

Amen to all of that @ marniesutton9553 , I had really long hair all through school and, five decades later, I still have!

[@bucvik9530]

When i startes riding as a soung child they taught us to hold the part we wanted to brush and then go up, so if we aciddantly jerk it would be stopped by our hand. 15 years later itsbstillmso deeply integrated into my habits that i dont even notice doing it

[@Amber-zn9zv]

"I think you have a 6 pack in your fingers" absolutely cracked me up! 🤣 I was thinking to myself, "Good lord how are his hands not hurting?" And then Jesse said that. 😂

[@patbroekema6721]

Emporio was such a well behaved boy. He looked stunning! Your calm, cool energy Matt really helped Emporio be the best he could be. Congratulations to you, Jesse and Emporio!!!!

[@alliedavidson4175]

Congratulations! I am really impressed at how well he behaved. No neighing, no stepping all over you. I'm not surprised he passed, he's a really beautiful horse.

Emporio is such a stunning stallion, I'm so excited to see some of his foals next year.

[@betsybuick4260]

Emporio is so white now. And I am very impressed by your plans to breed him. You have really branched out since I first started watching you. Do you think you might get a mare or mares of your own and produce your own foals? I seem to recall Jesse's fondness for foals. Anyway, I just love your videos.(More unstable please.)

[@WhinnyL]

Congratulations. I remember being at one of the first revisions in the US with my stallion. It is exciting, stressful and such a learning experience.

[@sheilaregister4128]

Magnificent stallion! Your talents, knowledge and patience is amazing! Emporio looked so alert, intelligent, and his moves are beautiful! Healthy and alert. I think he knew what was going on. Congratulations!

He is so beautiful- that coat is really impressive! I like his personality - very intelligent

[@sharonm3677]

Absolutely beautiful video. He is so gorgeous and so wonderfully behaved. I was nervous watching the person measure him as I was feeling a bit panicked about the measuring stick being near Emporio and he handled it so calmly. Congrats Matt. ❤❤

[@vickypreece4509]

Well done Emporio Matt & Jesse - congrats this is so exciting for you all 🇦🇺

[@RavenPhyreRanch]

Thank you for sharing, that was a fun story to see :) Emporio is so handsome and was just glowing! I can not wait to see the future babies! I'd personally like to see some hair type crosses with him, more unusual breeding like a Friesian x or Gypsy x :) HAh! You never know it could be amazing! :)

[@louisecassidy5991]

If long mane and tail are a mentioned attribute of the breed, best tactic for a stud book classification test would be to leave it all loose. The Friesian stud book is much more strict, stallions tested and judged yearly, in hand, under saddle, and in harness. Also loose in a big yard to see natural movement. A Friesian stallion does not reach full studbook status until the age of 10. Oh, mane out! So I was right. Also I think the tail should be long, trimmed level with the fetlocks. Greetings from Australia.

[@mikamichan1842]

Spanish stud book is a joke lol, they accept anything as long as there is money or fame involved.

[@ellenamy9617]

That is amazing about the friesians. I like to see working stallions, able to socialise and also do a job, while having longevity. That sounds like a good system to asses those traits. This weekend we parked beside a lorry with two stallions. They were impeccably behaved even in the show atmosphere.

[@SarahWRah]

I'm waiting to hear that Matt will take Emporio back into competition to add performance value to his stud record. They did so well in their first show (only one I can find), it seems a shame to spend all the time and expense to train Emporio, then no show him.

[@chloeleemohawk]

He values good training over ribbons. Ribbons come later ❤️

[@nofakk0]

I don't think Matt has ever expressed that he's against competing with him, but that it's not the main priority, as he wants them both to be ready skill wise and mentally. I think that's wise, Emporio is still relatively young, has a long potential competition career ahead, but that can get set back or ruined by bad experiences before he's ready. Also, ultimately, Matt has plenty of other platforms where to show Emporio and his skills off too, he's less dependent on shows than many others.

[@SarahWRah]

@@nofakk0 Good points... thank you.

[@cattymajiv]

His attitude is very admirable, and it's the only way to be if you truly love your horse(s).

I know that you will choose well which mares will be approved to have Emporios semens. Big Congratulations for getting the certifications for breeding Emporio!😍👏🏻Nice to hear and to be comfirmed that he is perfect as in breed and it will get many interested to using him as he holds the standard it looking for.👌🏻 That is very excellent!🌟As you said a new world opens up in breeding and lots of things to think about. It’s going to be fun, much to learn and very excitement.

[@chrisdouglass7962]

I'm thinking Emporio feels at home now, seems you had be the one to do the move 😁😉 Congratulations! He is superb, what really impressed me during the in hand exam, is that no matter that he was highly distracted and a bit excited, he was very much engaged with you!! He was so attentive to you and cues, so very well behaved,.... to have that trait passed on to his offspring, not to need to mention his conformation and natural beauty....... Who wouldn't want that??? Okay um I'm not sure cattle ranchers would but ehhh 🤗🤣👏😁❤️

[@mairimcgonigill4347]

He's beyond fabulous, like a fairy-tale stallion ridden by a prince!! Congrats to you Matt for bringing him thus far and perhaps giving other breeders the chance to own a foal with Emporio's amazing characteristics. Lucky people! ❤❤

[@nancyjohnson5810]

Well congratulations and you're doing everything to help Emporio reach his maximum potential. I've always heard that the true test for a horse is that they produce offspring greater than themselves. Cannot wait to see some of his foals. I also hope that you would one day want to purchase a broodmare. Or in the very least get a surrogate. How exciting for you and congratulations again.

[@TheDaragh]

So happy for you! Emporia is going to help create some sensational horses!

[@agfillion1]

He was wonderful during all of measuring. He’s so beautiful Matt. They don’t pay attention to how he lunges, only their natural gait for the breed. I think he’s going to be very tired in his future with all the breeding. I’d love to have a cross with emporia and the quarter horse. My favorite breed

[@nozee77]

Those two breeds were bred for completely different tasks and therefore have a very different exterior, different movements, different bodies. I personally don't think that would be a cross that makes sense. Quarters for example are supposed to have as little knee and hock action as possible, and are not bred for collection, but for flat movements, whereas PRE's are supposed to have a very upright posture, lots of knee and hock action, and are bred to have lots of collection. If you breed such different traits to one another you risk to get offspring with traits of both sides that don't go well together, even possibly causing the horse physical problems. No hate, just my to cents from working on breeding facilities for almost 40 years, some of them as breeding manager and consultant. ❤

[@cattymajiv]

@@nozee77 That makes perfect sense and it's what I suspected, although I have no breeding experience. In general I strongly disapprove of any horse breeding, whether it's done out of interest (which basically means it's done just for fun), or for money, because there are already far too many horses. That creates the situation we now have, where there are millions of unwanted, neglected and abused horses. But I guess somebody needs to do some breeding, to preserve the breeds, or they would all die out, and I believe that Matt will be as responsible about it as he can, within the constraints. I hope he will be very choose who he will sell Emporio's semen to.

[@nozee77]

​​​@@cattymajivI partially agree with you on that topic. If breeding is done very responsibly and carefully, I am ok with it, I mean, it is part of my occupation, but your arguments are very valid nevertheless. I have to say lots of breeders are either not educated enough or just don't care to educate themselves. Instead they are 'breeding' very large numbers of horses, to hopefully get one or two that are what they hoped for them to be. The rest... well... they are still there, but depending on which country you are in, they either end in kill pens, on horse transports, or, if they are lucky, find a loving home. Luckily not all breeders are like that of course, but ignorant (and/or greedy) people are everywhere... Lots of examples out there at the moment, showing the harm irresponsible breeding can cause. Speaking of deformed vertebrae in the lower neck area, causing neurological problems, and so on and so forth...

Congratulations and I had no doubt in my mind he’d be the perfect representation of the breed and what a stallion should look and act like! Really wish they did this in the western performance horse industry. Anyone can have a breeding stallion in our industry and I think it’s actually one of our biggest downfalls. We are starting to see serious consequences genetically in our industry.

First let me congratulate you, I know the excitement of getting your horse approve, as I am a breeder, and it is such a joy every time a horse gets the ok as a breeder. Since you are planning to sell semen, let me suggest to you, use your horse official name, that way people can actually look at his bloodline.

[@leahheapp]

You’d be surprised. The Spanish grading is tough. They really want to preserve the breed. Seen many not pass the grading. They measure EVERYTHING. And if something is even half a centimetre off of their max/min for the breed standard, it doesn’t pass. Some are lucky, if it’s young enough, it’ll grow and can be regraded. But if your horse is already fully grown - no grading. No grading = no registered offspring.
