Wow, Emporio is looking awesome! He looks huge! Beautiful bone structure and the muscles are just *chef's kiss*. Well done Matt, it looks like he has grown a lot and filled out quite nicely since you got him.
Actually he seems underdeveloped in his quarters...
I loved how you broke the test down and talked about E's strengths and 'areas of opportunity ' within the segment. You know and understand him and that's so great to see.
Looks really good Matt! My one piece of advice is to start being very conscious of your clucking…(I’m assuming that they still take points off for vocalizing) I dropped to third place in my best test in a show because I unconsciously clucked… such a “doh!” Moment ( 🤔 a dohment? Lol)
Thanks for sharing your beautiful horse life with us all! I love seeing both you and Jesse’s developments with your lovely lovely horses ❤️
Bravissimi! MBZ
"Not too bad"? For the first day of serious training, I thought that you and Emporio were fantastic. He seems like he has such amazing self control with looking at the other horses while he's training. Probably because he trusts you so much. Each day that you two will train, I bet you two will get even better than the last.
i personally love jesse's commentary 😂 its a nice break from the seriousness of dressage lol
Facts
Jesse is golden 5:13
I also like the fact that you are open about your struggles with wanting to become a better horseman.
That last half-pass was a pretty thing! I am excited that you are going to chronicle your competition journey with Emporio for us. That way, you'll have an educated and emotionally invested cheering section biting their nails when you and your boy finally step into the Olympic arena. Really something to look forward to!
I believe Emporio is related to Fuego and he has progressed beautifully. I personally think PRE's need more love from the judges in the competitions. You are doing great as well. Good luck.
He's just plain gorgeous! His halts are doing really well. One thing is that his trot is very elevated so he didn't get much in the med trot accross diagonal; what you got was quicker trot rather than the med you were looking for. He's very attuned to your aids (correct and soft) and that presents a lovely picture. He is also up and into the bridle as well as through behind. Exclnt! Great work!!
I am not very knowledgeable in dressage, and I am curious why PRE's are judged differently?
@@lindsaywagner2589 I am not an expert either but the horses that seem to do big winning are the warm bloods, leggier and different build. I love the magnificence of PRE's as well as Friesien's.
@@dorothearagsdale2664 and @Lindsay Wagner. Even the warmbloods have gone through quite a progression regarding type, size, movements and appearances. Comparing old footage for example from the Olympics in the 70s, 80s even 90s until today: Riding styles and horses as well (frame, interieur) have changed. This is different alt least for my eyes to horse racing or show jumping. There have always been exceptional racing horses or jumpers which can look 'quite modern' or original. But dressage has now become more important for jumpers or 'Vielseitigkeit', the English call it Military. And horses can have now a longer and healthier active sports life before retirement.
@@susanneprei5818 thank you for additional insight.
You are a great horseman Matt. The horses love you because you treat them like horses. They do their best for you. ❤
I’m so excited for this series! It was wonderful to see Emporio and you together at the house! I really enjoyed how you broke down the individual parts, it made it so much easier to understand.
Wonderful video! Thank you 😊
As an Australian, I can't help but find myself to be a tad envious at the incredible facilities, opportunities, and horses in Europe! Europe, with all of its many countries, cultures, languages, etc. is an incredible place.
No it isn’t. Not anymore. Its falling apart.
@@andreaxxx2239 Yeah there is no shortage of serious problems 😥And I feel for the people who are suffering the consequences! Still, it is incredible to spend time in a place where you can be in one country, with its languages and cultures, then an hour later be in a completely different place! Where I live, you can drive for three days straight and still be in the same country, even though the culture does differ between areas, but it's much more subtle. I really love going to Europe, but it's not easy and very expensive!
100% yes love living here
"Maice, come here! Nice extension Maisie"
That got me😂
He’s looking so mature. He’s really changed since I’ve been watching you! His balanced conformation is just perfection.
Emporio has grown in confidence and you are both doing a great job. Dressage is a demanding discipline (like the others) but this is the beginning of a great adventure that I thank you for sharing with us. 😍👍🙌💙
I really enjoyed seeing Emporio again.When one hears the word "stallion" it suggests the possibility of,well,trouble waiting in the wings.Emporio clearly wanted to check Chase out,but he listened to you.Says a lot for the PRE stallions' reputation for good behavior as a whole,and for his relationship with you.A work in progress,but I think you'll do well.Seeing what you and Emporio are working on for a newbie competition also gives me an idea of how hard and how long riders and horses like Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro had to work to start out,and begin to rise in the rankings.Good luck,I'm very interested in Emporio's progress! He's beautiful and a very good boy. :)
Don't get why you work the horse so high in the neck (lack the proper translation for "Aufrichtung"). You can see it from the halt to the extensions and lateral movements, the horse lacks of strength in the hind legs. It's typically for PRE and other more "barock" breeds. They have big necks and lot of weight naturally on the forehand but they offering nice "fake" collections. Looks pretty but they don't move from behind over their backs, they don't carry themselves. Would like to see the horse a bit more forward with the nose and more from behind over the back.
You guys are the best. Matt, riding thru the test with us was fabulous. Explaining from the riders perspective is really helpful. Riding at 78 years young and still learning. Warm wishes for a great outcome.
That's fantastic, you must be doing a great job at looking after yourself. We should never stop being willing to learn - the moment you stop wanting to learn, I can't help but feel what would the point of life be? Here's to many more years in the saddle ahead!
His downward transitions are looking nice and he is getting stronger 🏆 good for you both. Enjoy
Love ur and Jesses videos and its amazing to see how far Emporio has come! You two will do amazing!❤
when I'm training centre lines I always stop at I or even G (over X) cause they will start anticipating the halt and stop two or three meters before X on a test. its easier to collect earlier than to push those extra steps when ur horse knows u gonna stop without losing that collection especially in canter
Love how you are showing us this from the start. Like seeing the process and not just the finished product!
This video seriously reminded me of WHY I love Dressage. the bond, the connection you need. It nearly brings tears to your eyes. This was beautiful to watch you two work it out and grow. Big things await this stallion.
I have missed the videos with you two. The feedback is entertaining yet honest. I look forward to the journey to the first competition though I wonder if a small local schooling show might be less stressful. Not sure if those are common over there as they are in abundance here in the States.
That’s what I thought.. start with a psg.. 👀 But maybe they’ve been going on smaller competitions without showing us.. 😊
@@blobfishrescue Matt stated this would be the first competition. I just hope he keeps his expectations level since he can be hard on himself in his quest for perfection, which is why schooling shows are so great, no one expects anything so whatever you get is a bonus.🤣
My Goodness!! What a lot of horse he's become! Love the step by step approach
Hi Matt! 💚. Love your channel and following both yourself and Jesse 🥰
Matt I haven’t had to do this for several years. But when you do the salute at X is he supposed to be fully squared up?
I can’t wait to see this journey! Keep the videos coming. He’s looking so good. Love how you’ve decided to go out for your first show at PSG… no pressure 👀😅
🤩 Matt so excited to see your beautiful Emporio had been making such progress, always so enjoyed you sharing since you've had him from a 3 year old and now he's maturing 6 year old, you make a great team that will just keep improving. So excited for you and looking forward to all this new adventure. (Hi Jesssseeeeee!) Great job! 😍👏👏❣
Only complaint is that its clear your horses dont relax at the walk. This may be due to not doing a lot of relaxing walk work, just getting on and walking like a calm trail ride or just working on bend and relaxation at the walk. otherwise all your horses are doing so well =) Emperio is such a beautiful horse. I am hoping to purchase a PRE when im ready =) love the breed, more compact. i am 6ft tall so id be looking for the 16hh+ horses as well lol. My dream would be to purchase from you but well see how life progresses lol
Very stuffy walk I thought that too. They should walk like an athlete with a smooth swing. Definitely the hardest gait to score well in though!
@@ellenamy9617 agreed, most forget about the walk. Too busy teaching all the fancy stuff. Sometimes the hardest things are the simplest things. But it's clear the horses are treated well and are not pushed. Just a few tweaks I think. But the horses look happy and well treated :)
Very good representation of what all dressage riders/competitors go through with our horses. You guys look good!
I look forward to seeing the next videos.
I love the step-by-step breakdown. It will be fun to watch the process and progress.
Love how you break it down and talk about your strategy for the test. You guys look great together and have really come a long way! Fun to watch you progress together!
Loved this so much ! Pls share everything, it’s so interesting to see and we can all learn a lot from watching these types of videos … Excited to see your journey 😁
I'm sorry taking a horse out for their first competition at that level seems rediculous to me. Like I understand not wanting to have a competitive horse but they also need to see the atmosphere before they will be anywhere near that and to combine high physical difficulty with new scary environment seems nuts.
Also you are gonna wanna cut the vocal cues out because if the judge hears that you are losing points
When you are schooling you SHOULD be going full out in my opinion. Nobody is going to knock you for doing a 10m circle in the corner and it will make the next time better.
What a difference from three
years ago, Emporio is HUGE!
Great first run considering he
had distractions around and
inside the arena. Mazy is SO
FAST and adorable! ☺️✌️💚
First of all, I really enjoy when the two of you are filming together.
Secondly, E is magnificent, what a wonderful creature he is.
I also like the way that you broke it all down for us. I have always liked watching competition, but never understood the mechanics of it all. Jesse is correct, that seems quite complicated.
I thought that E did very well being so close to Chase. The other way around as well. Then again, Chase has always been pretty layer back of my memory is correct.
Can’t wait to see the next video!
You improved so much during your practice session. Emporia is a real eye catcher! Fun to watch but also helpful for me and my Friesian sporthorse, Max. 🐴😀👍
Emporio is such a gorgeous horse! Beautiful! And I admire how neat of a seat (?) you have! Do you think he could extend his trot so he could start stretching his legs forward too? Do you think you are going to train that or stick with what he can do now? I know it's not easy, just curious! I'm super interested to see more of this journey towards the competition!
He is beautiful but needs to stretch his neck out more to extend better
is it just me or does his front left foot seem a little weird when he was just talking and not working the specific parts? So cool to watch how you work, lovely video.
This horse dishes like mad! he'll probably get issues when he's older sadly. Many PRE's are bred like this, all flash and no correct paces
good job matt! so exciting i hope it goes well! i always enjoy your and jesse’s videos and i find i always learn something new from both you guys! thank you for sharing the adventure to the horse show!
He’s a beautiful horse!
Second! (I'm usually a week late!) LOL
Me too haha!
Very beautifull!!
Is this your first test with Emporio?
When did you qualified for the Prix St. Georges, in Australia with Chase?
You don’t have to qualify, it’s an open competition for Iberian horses and you can just sign up for the level you think you’re at 🙃
Maisie's level of excitement is just a jump in any mood. Lover her xD Emporio and te way you know him is exactly why I hope you keep bringing your view into the horseworld. We need SO many more equestrians like you. ^.^
Are Jesse and Matt together or just good friends?
Just wondering by Jesses Coments.
Both.
So awesome love the walk through of movements and excited for the step by step show prep right down to attire and braiding !!
You've done and are continuing to do an awesome job with Emporio, Matt! I love seeing this step-by-step process and look forward to seeing your Dressage tests!
I loved this! Looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos for this journey.
Loved it! It was fascinating to see the improvement from first go to third go. Thank you.
Trust you will do amazing, Matt! 🤩
I'm amazed at how great and especially huge Emporio looks nowadays! My gosh- keep it up, Matt 😇
Thank you Matt for showing all. IE the mistakes 🥰🥰🥰
Emporio looks fantastic! Looking forward to this series and how you both progress! Chase was being a very good boy, just standing there grazing and not putting up a fuss. I would have loved a clip of the 2 of them saying hi to each other!
This is super fascinating
New to your site. I love dressage but have never tried this discipline. I ride Reiners and there is some elements that are similar. Your horse is beautiful and I loved the way you walked through the test. I’ll be back to watch more. Thanks
No worries Matt, nobody’s perfect you’re horses are awesome and so are you, just have fun
I’ve been wondering for awhile now whether or not you were going to show Emporio. This is such exciting news and thank you so much for taking us along on your journey!!!
Great video. Would love to continue seeing this journey of working towards that test
I unfortunately had to quit riding because of university and I miss it a lot, so seeing videos like this kinda brings me back a little to the feeling of being on the saddle that I miss so much.
Keep up the great work Matt :)
I wish you a lovely time with training and just the whole journey to this test. Its so cool to see how you go trough it. I already was wondering when you would go in to the ring with him ❤️
I love Jesse's peanut gallery comments ;-)
OMG Matt! I am so, so proud of you. I trained movements at PSG, but never competed. Whew! What an accomplishment!! This is so exciting! I am thinking about what you said. Your horse is short coupled and should bendeasily. Try shoulder-in out of the courner 3-4 steps straight and haunches -in 3-4 steps with 2-3 steps straight at the working trot both directions.Also do half turnsoff the long side 8 m bothdirections and spirals out of 10m circles on center. jThis will help with bend in half pass.Best wishes,,,Georgia
Thanks mat he is a beautiful horse🥰💜
Matt, have you heard of the technique called back-chaining? You start with the end, then you do the next last exercise and the end, then you keep adding on backwards. This way you are setting yourself up to know the end of the test best instead of the beginning. Of course you dont want the horse to memorize the test but when you chain several exercises together, and add more on, try starting from the end instead of the beginning!
Sounds confusing and might make you forget your test when competing
We do a lot of this in canine obedience training too. Works a.azingky well
That was good Matt ... like you said it's a start and.by you bringing us along step by step, we can see the progression in you both.
It makes one realize how hard dressage is when watching completions, whereby some horses appear flawless. We may not appreciate the ease at which it looks as much as we should ... because we haven't seen the beginning of that journey, for both horse and rider. As always, looking forward to the next video.
Ok.. bur remember Sureno
Thank you for sharing with us, looking forward to more videos!
Very impressive! I really appreciate you explaining everything. I think that was a great run.
Emporio has developed so well, he looks amazing and cute. 👍👍👍
What the heck do you get on Emporio’s feet.. He looks like he’s got high heels on!!! Looks very awkward..
You both look very good. I think you are right about looking out for the markers, being very careful to ride the exercises to point, as this will secure you a good background score. Your circle is bigger than it should be. Perhaps a little mark 1.5 meters towards B from the Center line could do the trick for you to get a feel for the right size.
Wishing you good luck and keep up with the fantastic work!
That and the clucking needs to stop or he will do it in the test and lose points and wonder why
Prachtige paarden die jullie hebben. Hij gaat steeds sneller lopen. Het is een sprookje om te zien. Werkelijk prachtig.
Hij wordt ook heel zacht gereden door Matt♥️.
Don't you have to qualify to psg? Here in sweden vi have to do a few other tests with a certain % before we can start psg lvl
It is an open class and only for PRE horses. In NL is normaly also a system for competion classes where you must collect points before you can start in the next higher class.
Beautiful riding
Not sure how your test will be judged, but when I rode dressage tests in the US, no clucking or verbal commands were allowed.
It’s for training they aren’t copying exactly what they are going to do in the test
He looks amazing! So powerful!
Is your arena regulation size? Seems a bit wide so be really careful on how big you make those circles! Judges don't mess with the circle size.
60x20 m
When you put that together I got feels in the heart. He really does try for.you, and with other horses around so.I hope you are super super chuffed with that. Congratulations
Looking great!
Hope he enjoys competition.
Beautiful to watch
You both are amazing! 🥰
Your halt was great, it was square, 3 out of 4 times Matt. You are correct about the trot work though. It was a wise move to bring him to the house with the other horses there. Imporio looked great. The way you are training him for the PSG is a great way to do it it with him. One day to the right, the next day to the left, the next day the full test. Repeat. This way you feel and know what you have to work on to improve the test to get the best score possible. Well done!! Can't wait to see the next videos of this journey with Imporio. Love from an FEI Level Coach and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 🇨🇦🇩🇪
Wow! Emporio did a great job during the practice! Andalusians in dressage are so beautiful and we don''t see nearly enough. I love coming back and just watching a bunch of videos of Emporio cause he is so beautiful. He's such a handsome stud with a handsome rider. ❤
And of course Jesse's commentary never gets old, he's great 🤣
Hey Matt…..thx for taking us on this journey with you & Emporio 👏🏻 this is going to be exciting & I’m so looking forward to it ☺️🇨🇦🫶🏻 I love watching you & Jesse 💙
First by 13 seconds can't wait to watch
Emporio is the most beautiful pre ever
I don't want this to come over as a criticism as I can see it all is going well but please watch Joao Torrao and Charlotte Dujardin and see how they ride with the curb rein on the outside and work them individually. Emporio has improved so much and all he needs is time. Loved Mazy doing her extension !
Yeahh! Three minutes! Let’s gooo
Looking good! It will be fun to find out what kind of ride he gives you at the show. It looks like your hard work is definitely paying off at home. Fingers crossed he keeps his head on his shoulders for you. :D
I think you are doing great!! Emporio look Beautiful and fit!! Hit your Marks, Become the Marks (I love it) and you will score big!!!
It’s crazy to imagine your first ever show with a horse being at FEI level! Goes to show what an incredible pair you two are 🦄🌟
I am looking forward to your competition videos with Emporio and also to the shopping tour 😋👍🏻👍🏻
I thought PSG was a high level - not the one you start at. Can anyone educate me ? ❤️
Matt very impressed with Emporios progress. And I for one truly appreciate that you're taking the time to bring us along on this journey. I've never understood all of it but find it very interesting and beautiful to watch how the horse and rider become one. So best of luck and very excited to see next video. Again thank you so very much and best always Rusty in Oklahoma
Starting at Prix St George is a pretty darn good start. No pony club or preliminary competitions for you 🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺 isn’t the clucking going to be a problem?
First at 0 likes!!
Excellent Matt really enjoyed the step by step process and also how gorgeous Emporio has grown into his big boy boots!!
How cool. I have always wondered about the process and when you would start competition with Emporio
What fun! I'm so excited for this competition journey. Like others have said, can you take him out to a smaller event locally to get him used to being in a competition environment? Even riding club rallies are great if you have them over there. Looking forward to this so much 🤩
Matt
It's "one FELL swoop", not "one fowl swoop".
Common mistake 🤷♀️
Bred a Gaucho III boy. Very different. Lisonjerio 3/4 mare (other 1/4 half QH and TB).. American old stallion very well rounded. Ollie moves more big and forward (no bull fighting movement here. 16.3 long legged large movement boy) but with some mental Gaucho work quirks. He is competing with his current owner I1. Built very well but missing some mental things. But his Mom (who I sold him to loves his presence and attitude). I like your man better than his father. I have bred mostly German sport horses and just dabbled in the Spanish horses. So I might be prejudice with warmbloods vs Spanish horses. But Love love Spanish and Portuguese horses for Dressage and hope people like you can help bring them to the forefront. I think I might want a Portuguese horse for my old age. We could discuss movement all day and what has been profitable and what wins (not to mention classical function). Big issues. Just love those Spanish bred horses and would love to see history maintained (without putting them to bulls). Sappy American here who thinks Merlin is AMAZING (throwing up watching videos)(when in Spain I will not go near bull arenas.. I refuse)(I do not goto Mexico but iam guessing the same with lower quality horses that will be dead faster) and that the culture and sport of bull horses is SICK!! Wonder if that Azteca horse is still alive (bull fighting can be hazardous to a horses health).
