Just a reply on the wool comments❤😂: I know that sheep aren’t killed for wool haha. But most of these products are bit just the wool. If you look underneath it comes with the skin as well. So I should have said sheepskin, but when you see equestrian products with wool, 95% comes with the skin sadly..
What about the bridle? It seems really nice and gentle on the horse, but if it’s made of real leather it wasn’t very nice and gentle on the cow haha 😅 Would you consider making a vegan version of it too or is that faux leather? 😇😇
@@myrrysmaikku Yes thank you for mentioning this what about the leather saddles, boots etc.. There are some VEGAN leather products that look like leather
@@devikaforeen7209 He seems to care a lot about animals and so do the people who follow this channel probably, so maybe the products he sells are already made from some different material, but i didn’t find any info about it 🤷♀️ i know there are some leatherless tack out there, so it’s possible. I don’t own a horse myself so i haven’t had to hunt for them, but i’ve wanted to try bitless for a long time so i’d still be interested in buying that 😊 boots etc are luckily pretty easy to find synthetic or secondhand
@@myrrysmaikku I live in USA and I do not own a horse....I just have always loved them...I am enamored with Jesse as to how much he loves horses and developing bitless bridle, and his ability to ride with no tack. I just researched it and there are major companies that have developed a synthetic saddle, boots etc...In America (Michigan)there is a women that owns Free Spirit Equestrian and developed a leather bitless bridle...I hope more Equestrians will be open to the idea....
Matt is such a king for keeping Chase and putting his well being first! He could have easily sold him when Chase wasn't able to match his needs as a dressage horse anymore.
Ikr! I admire that so much! If a person can't afford (financially and emotionally) to keep a horse through their retirement and old age, that means they can't afford to have them at all. The selling off of older and injured or sick horses is cruelty. It doesn't take much to imagine what a horrific experience that is for the horse. They're supposed to be our best friend, not an object. When we acquire an animal of any kind, it has to be a commitment to them for their lifetime, which includes caring for them through illnesses, injuries, and old age. If we don't love then enough to do that, then it would be better for us to buy a go-cart or a four wheeler, etc. They're not inanimate objects. They have thoughts and feelings, hopes, fears, and souls. When we took them from the wild we became responsible for their welfare, so we can't just throw them away when they're no longer a useful show animal.
@@cattymajiv My parents bought me a horse when I was 14. I took over paying for all his needs at 18. When I was 24, my genetic condition (that I hadn't been diagnosed with yet) forced me to stop riding. Then I was unable to work. I ended up having to sell my horse and it was DEVASTATING! Sometimes, we don't get to keep our horses no matter how mush we wish we could.
We don’t see you on a horse much so I really enjoyed watching you ride Chase and showing us the benefits of riding bitless. I think Chase enjoyed the ride and you could see his body wasn’t as stiff by the end of the ride(opinion based on my untrained eye). It looked like you and Chase were having fun. Your English comprehension and speaking skills are really,really good. Very enjoyable video.
How wonderful it is to see Chase. He is so beautiful and so sweet. He is a magnificent horse and Matt has taken such wonderful care of him. Thank you, Jesse, for using Chase to demonstrate your bitless bridle, and he did so well. Your bareback pad design is gorgeous. So many of us like to see Chase and how he is doing. I love that Chase still has Andora in the pasture with him, and the ponies, and how nice to see your dogs. All of them doing so well. I remember the beginnings of Matt and Chase's journey with you, Jesse, and this is a special video for me to see. Thank you.
I also agree with what he said about stirrups on bareback pads. Also, if you can't ride without stirrups you really can't ride well at all. Everyone needs to learn how very early on in their riding.
@@cattymajiv Jesse is always so good at explaining the reasons for things, like not using stirrups with a saddle pad because of the undo pressure it would put on Chase's back. I agree that learning to ride without stirrups is very important.
I just have to add what a fantastic teacher you are Jesse! I used to teach (not riding tho) so I can clearly see how you present the info is so clear and well organized! I think this is the best video you or Matt has done, and is one of the best horse videos on all of RUclips. I love that you are talking about 1 of the most basic and important topics there is, how to ride as kindly and naturally as possible. You described so clearly which equipment to use, how it works, how to use it, and how to teach your horse what you are saying with the new equipment. How to make your requests very clear to them, to reward them for finding the right answer, and how to deal with a small delay if they don't instantly find the right answer the very first time. Those are all so important, and you did it perfectly, in logical sequence, and very complete, yet also as simply as possible. Teaching is both an art and a science. Everyone thinks it's so easy, until they try it themselves. And until they are faced with measuring in some way whether the students actually learned the information! You probably prepared a lot, which enabled you to come across so naturally that it seems you are just chatting. So we're learning by accident, not having to expend great effort at it. We're relaxing, listening to our friend chat, but we are learning so much without even trying! You sir, have mastered both the science and the art of teaching! Bravo to you! This wonderful video is a shining example to other equestrians and especially to teachers and trainers. It was so enjoyable, and such a great learning experience. You're on track as one of the very TOP leaders in the most important areas of horsemanship. Dressage and all the other disciplines are nice, but they mean nothing if they're not done right. You're teaching how to do it right. We need a name for YOUR discipline of humane and loving horsemanship,to put it in a class by itself, and to emphasize its importance. I haven't got a good suggestion, but we DO need to give it a name, so that it can be advanced more effectively by its practitioners, of which there are already great many. We need a name that sounds professional, and makes clear the fact that humaneness, love, and kindness in all aspects of horsemanship are the founding principles. Does anyone have a suggestion? Sorry to be so lengthy. Despite my decades of experience, I am not as skilled a communicator as you are at 28 or 29. To you it seems to come naturally. That's the art of it! Thanks again for this wonderful video! ❤❤❤
Loved this comment. Long is good when you need to get this point across. Jesse is truly a gifted horse person. The compassion he has for these animals is 2 and to none. I'll never forget the time he rode Emporio , Matt INSISTED on his wearing spurs so what did our Jesse do ? Calm, passive resistance... put them on backwards. Love you Jesse. ❤️🇨🇦
@laurencelulusue1651 Jesse has the most sweet yet firm ways of getting Matt to know his way is as good as Matt's way just different. He does very well with Matt's strong and outgoing personality .
Thank you Jesse for sharing this time with Chase in a bitless bridle with us. You are a remarkable man and I appreciate so much how wonderful you are with horses!❤❤❤❤❤
@@sun1one1 Pls believe me, its a loud outside noise, not internal. Can someone back me up here? I also think maybe Matt can't stand it. Wondering at what age it began. Certainly no wonder I always kept mares. Who wants to ride a squeaky horse?
I'm so happy Matt Trusts you with his horses. Watching you interact with all animals you come across is a delight. ❤ Thanks for another great video. (Thanks to the camera lady.)
What a great way to start my morning, with my favorite equestrian and RUclipsr! I haven't been this early here before. I'm an old lady, not 1 of the kids who competes to be 1st, but it does feel good to be quick where I still can. LOL! I love you Jesse and your kindness and empathy for animals. You are what I wanted to be. Not the shows, but the life with horses. All the best to you and Matt! ❤🐴🐎🐴❤
I love seeing You and Chase working together! He seems well adapted to the bitless bridle! You are an excellent teacher,and Chase trusts you so much.I hope Antares is on his way to a full recovery. I miss seeing you riding with him. xoxo😊😘❤👏👏
Jesse...your strength is definitely teaching, and working with troubled horses. You are so confident in your explanations and your riding just speaks for itself! Your physical affection with your horses and dogs is so heart warming and has taught this old lady its never too late. My mare (28) has always been rather antisocial and not crazy about touching. But since watching you and copying you a bit, she waits for my scratches and talking to her. She let's me know when it enuf...lol
Hi Jesse ... ever since seeing you jumping Chase over that chain on your trail ride and when he spooked at the fallen tree, I was so impressed with your seat and instinctive reaction that takes one a lifetime of riding to accomplish .... I hope you continue working with him, bitless or not, rather than having this gorgeous animal just chilling in the pasture !! Please continue working your magic with Chase, you make a great team. All the best,
Jesse you should add sunscreen to your year-round daily routine as well, it will help prevent sun damage that you'll see later in life. 😎💖 I love seeing you ride Chase; I think he really loves having you spend time with him.
Thank you for mentioning this Chasingfences. I love your name! LOL! Sun protection is SO important in prevention of skin cancer, for both riders and horses. They've gotten really good at curing a lot of cancer, but prevention is a million times more effective, and is SO much easier! Sunscreen, and masks for horses are SO easy and SO effective! We owe it to ourselves and our much loved friends to use protection. ❤
@@cattymajiv All true, I wish I was better at using sunscreen earlier in life as I now need pre-cancerous spots 'frozen' which is a bit painful and take weeks to heal. I'm now careful to use sunscreen on my face year-round.
@@chasingfences1302 Yes, I agree. I changed my post, because the anticancer aspect is by FAR more important. I also wanted to reply to you and tell you that you're right. And to say that I really hope your treatment is successful, and that there are no recurrences. If it's caught early, most skin cancers are highly treatable, and I really hope yours is like that. My dad's skin cancer recurred after being removed, but they said that removing it again would cause him a lot of grief, because by then he had Alzhiemer's. They said it was slow growing, and at his age that would not be what kills him anyway. They were right. He also previously had prostate cancer, and it was removed in time as well. It remains to be seen if my sister's breast cancer treatment will be successful but we have high hopes, since treatments are becoming more and more successful over time, and hers was caught early too. The Canadian system ensures most of us do get regular pap smears and mammograms, self exams of our breasts, and prostate checks. They are uncomfortable, but they're SO important! Most of the time, when caught early many cancers are totally curable. And horse owners need to be just as proactive on their horses' behalf, using masks and sunscreen, especially for white and grey horses, and those with white spots, blazes, etc. Thanks so much Chasingfences, for the important reminder about this! ❤❤❤
Yes Jesse we sure don't want you to have to deal with spots that have to be removed. You are blond and fair skin colored you could be prone to spots like the gray horses.
Sun screen is a marketing hoax! We should not use it, and it is in heaps of cosmetics without being stated. We don't know what is in it. I had a lip balm that sent my lips literally buzzing. Quite put me off sunscreens forever.
Thank you so much for showing more positivity to work with horses. A horse isn’t only a dressage or competition animal, you’re feeling whatever they need. Nice to meet you soon
I think that you will always look younger than you actually are- Nothing to complain about there! Love to you for all that you do and lots of kisses for all your horses. Your videos are always wonderful to watch and listen to. You have a very calming voice.
You don’t look a day older than 18 years! Thanks for the tips on riding bitless. I’m glad you differentiated between the various bitless bridles out there. Chase looks good and I hope he’s enjoying his semi-retirement! 🙏🙌🇨🇦❤️✝️
You are so right! Because not all bitless bridles are kind! Some of the hackamores are very cruel, and dangerous in the hands of a novice or a heavy handed rider. Like Jesse, I dislike the cross under kind too. I think it's a really poor design, and unnecessarily complicated. The 2 best I've seen are Jesse's Nalanta, and the bitless from Shae at Free Spirit Equestrian. It doesn't have a brand name, but can be found on her channel or website. There are similarities between them, but Shae's models don't have the metal star. They both have padded bands and the anatomical headband or poll strap, and attractive brow bands.
Hi Jesse, it's great to see and hear from you. I'm sad that Antares has had to receive treatment again, but when it's necessary, we don't hesitate! He seems to be doing very well, give him lots of kisses!🥰 Please, can you give us an update in a few days? 🙏Gaio is OK, that's good!👍 Your idea of a video with Chase is excellent for him and for us, as we don't see him very often any more. I enjoyed listening to your interesting explanations, it's great to have fun but it's also great to learn. You're an excellent teacher, you're precise, your speech is fluid and you ride with such ease! 👏💯 A quality video Jesse! Thank you so much!💖
I agree your attitude and horsemanship, is in a class of its own. It’s very kind and natural , which I’m trying to do a lot of with my horse. Trying to get off my hands, which is habit I had from when I was younger. I’m a new fan and am keen to watch everything u do
Wait . . . Jesse is TWENTY-EIGHT??? I thought he was like twenty, tops! That just goes to show what good genes and chronically damp weather can do for a person. :)
Hey, you may look young now, but as a 75 year old that people think is 60 has it's advantages. Do remember sun screen everyday, rain or shine. Thanks for the update on Antarres. Please keep them coming. Any video you do is gold.
Thank you so much for a great video with Chase I’ve been missing him! And the doggies too - bonus! I like videos where you teach about natural horsemanship, ride, do tricks, do your shows, and the ones where you have fun outside with the horses showing their interactions with each other. All of it is great content from a dear soul. Thank you.🙏🏼
Aw! My mare had electrochemotherapy for a melanoma on her tail almost two years ago. It is amazing technology. She is black, so it was a very dangerous type of melanoma on her and they were highly concerned about it and were even talking about a potential tail amputation - but after one treatment the little bit that was not able to removed fell off and died and it has yet to come back
Jesse, you are just wonderful. Your love of horses, your gentle and caring manner, how fortunate for the horses you train. Thank you for your excellent and informative lesson.
I love that bareback pad, it looks really comfortable. I also appreciate the explanation of the bitless bridle. I thought the bitless bridle was more like a halter with reins! Thanks Jesse.
I go onto RUclips every evening and when I see a video from Jesse or Matt that takes preference over anything else I watch. I love it when you post your videos. Keep up the fantastic work you do ❤
Love the way you two have different directions in riding but are able to share and respect the differences.... having the horses well being at heart holds it together
Love your videos. They make me feel calm and content. Your expertise with your horses is very much appreciated. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day.
Jesse I would like thank you for an excellent tutorial. You really so kind and caring when you ride and explain to us exactly what you are doing. Brilliant vlog!
Nice seeing another video from you. I am so glad you are staying on top of the growths on Antares. I hope to see him healthy and able to get back to work with you soon. I loved watching your caring and informative ride with Chase and the bitless bridle. Great to see you with the dogs, but watch out for that jacket & shoe "person" hiding! You always put a smile on my face.😊
Actually there are a LOT of equestrian RUclipsrs and IG posters who are 100% dedicated to kindness as their founding principal. Jesse is probably the best, and possibly the most well known, but he FAR from being alone. There are millions of us who are like him, or are trying to be like him! There are some very well known old guys, who are old school but pretend to be kindness based, but when the chips are down they show their true colors. These guys sell books and videos, and are heavily business oriented, which is how they got famous. But they are very much being ignored by the modern audience, as people realize that they are only pretenders. I'm not saying all old guys are no good, just that anyone who bases a business on horses should be taken with a grain of salt, because some of them are just posers. Their methods should be examined very closely. Jesse's methods always pass any test with flying colors! So I'm doubling down on the idea that he is 1 of the best, or maybe even the best.
@@cattymajiv yeah i agree with you! there are tons more. but he stands out. i also in a way meant a section famous riders(didnt want to hurt any feelings so i didnt keep it lol) but many top riders with millions of gear on their horses couldnt top jesse, he has that spesific training and trust with his that alot of people lack .
I really like watching you riding Chase....he tries so hard for you! This video really helps me as I am starting to do bitless with my boy. Thank you! I want to say that I love the bareback saddle you designed as well as the bitless bridle. The shipping to the US is sooo expensive now so I am using what I could get. I am staying positive that what I have will work.
Hey Jesse,it's nice to see you and Chase riding together lately 👍. Honestly I thought he was sick and was living his best life out with you 2🫢. He is so gorgeous and gentle 😊. He had a little magic going on for a min 😊. JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞

Like he did with his other horse the big grey no longer able to do what matt wanted so was sold off
@@mandycook9037 that is not really accurate, Matt wanted the best for him and got him a home suited to his needs! He is living his best life there

I think Matt would give Chase one of his kidneys if he needed it.
Chase just seems to be sweetest horse ever. He's so lucky to be with you and Matt who puts his happiness first. ❤
Yes! Same goes for all their horses! Jesse is an incredible person. I wish he was my brother. ❤
I feel like Chase is both easy-going but a challenge to ride. Reminds me of a horse I learned to ride on. I can see why they keep him
'You have to live with your skin...basically forever" lmao! Always good quotes when Jesse does the talking.
I bought your Nalanta bitless bridle for my pony, we love it!
Amazing quality, super soft and clear communication

Also this is not Jesse's first language, so it is even more impressive.
Chase went from being a bit trepidatious "What is Jesse doing with me?" To, "Ohhhh, I get it!" And then, "This is quite nice!" 😊
Chase looked very relaxed and flowing! He actually looked like he was enjoying himself

He is not grunting, air is going in and out of his sheath. Only males do it. Not nice at all.

❤❤❤
Yes Jesse we sure don't want you to have to deal with spots that have to be removed. You are blond and fair skin colored you could be prone to spots like the gray horses.
Sun screen is a marketing hoax! We should not use it, and it is in heaps of cosmetics without being stated.
We don't know what is in it. I had a lip balm that sent my lips literally buzzing. Quite put me off sunscreens forever.
Thank you so much for showing more positivity to work with horses. A horse isn’t only a dressage or competition animal, you’re feeling whatever they need. Nice to meet you soon
Jesse, can we clone you? We need more Equestrians like you!
We need more PEOPLE like Jesse. Period! ❤❤❤
I think that you will always look younger than you actually are- Nothing to complain about there! Love to you for all that you do and lots of kisses for all your horses. Your videos are always wonderful to watch and listen to. You have a very calming voice.
Chase is such a sweetie . I’m glad he still is getting the attention which you can tell he likes!
You don’t look a day older than 18 years!
Thanks for the tips on riding bitless. I’m glad you differentiated between the various bitless bridles out there.
Chase looks good and I hope he’s enjoying his semi-retirement!
🙏🙌🇨🇦❤️✝️
You are so right! Because not all bitless bridles are kind! Some of the hackamores are very cruel, and dangerous in the hands of a novice or a heavy handed rider.
Like Jesse, I dislike the cross under kind too. I think it's a really poor design, and unnecessarily complicated.
The 2 best I've seen are Jesse's Nalanta, and the bitless from Shae at Free Spirit Equestrian. It doesn't have a brand name, but can be found on her channel or website.
There are similarities between them, but Shae's models don't have the metal star. They both have padded bands and the anatomical headband or poll strap, and attractive brow bands.
Jesse I adore your smile. It brightens my heart!!
Hi Jesse, it's great to see and hear from you. I'm sad that Antares has had to receive treatment again, but when it's necessary, we don't hesitate! He seems to be doing very well, give him lots of kisses!🥰 Please, can you give us an update in a few days? 🙏Gaio is OK, that's good!👍
Your idea of a video with Chase is excellent for him and for us, as we don't see him very often any more. I enjoyed listening to your interesting explanations, it's great to have fun but it's also great to learn. You're an excellent teacher, you're precise, your speech is fluid and you ride with such ease! 👏💯
A quality video Jesse! Thank you so much!💖
Yes to every word! ❤
Yes to every word! ❤
@@cattymajiv Thank you 💗
❤ Well said! ❤ Thank you Jesse! ❤
Chase...so beautiful. And so responsive. Love your tutorials! Great video, Jesse!
Yes! Me too! His tutorials are SO valuable!
I agree your attitude and horsemanship, is in a class of its own. It’s very kind and natural , which I’m trying to do a lot of with my horse. Trying to get off my hands, which is habit I had from when I was younger. I’m a new fan and am keen to watch everything u do
Thank you Sweet One. Wonderful to see you riding Chase and bitless.
Jesse I really enjoy your training videos great resource ❤
I love watching you do anything with the horses. You are so kind and loving. ❤
Wait . . . Jesse is TWENTY-EIGHT??? I thought he was like twenty, tops! That just goes to show what good genes and chronically damp weather can do for a person. :)
LOL! Finally something good about damp weather. And here I spent my whole 63 years hating it! 😉
Hey, you may look young now, but as a 75 year old that people think is 60 has it's advantages. Do remember sun screen everyday, rain or shine. Thanks for the update on Antarres. Please keep them coming. Any video you do is gold.
Thank you so much for a great video with Chase I’ve been missing him! And the doggies too - bonus! I like videos where you teach about natural horsemanship, ride, do tricks, do your shows, and the ones where you have fun outside with the horses showing their interactions with each other. All of it is great content from a dear soul. Thank you.🙏🏼
Chase looks great. Great teacher and so kind.
Chase is such a beautiful horse, love seeing him in videos
I would love to transition to bitless riding. This tutorial might just be the push I needed. Thanks Jesse!
You always have fun when you ride, love it 🤎
Aw! My mare had electrochemotherapy for a melanoma on her tail almost two years ago. It is amazing technology. She is black, so it was a very dangerous type of melanoma on her and they were highly concerned about it and were even talking about a potential tail amputation - but after one treatment the little bit that was not able to removed fell off and died and it has yet to come back
Lovely, Chase seemed to be enjoying working with you and working without a bit!
Very interesting to see a more educational video from you! You are a great speaker on this topic
He really is!
Chase is a beautiful horse Jesse and it’s lovely to see you riding him, and it’s good to hear that Antares is doing well too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Yay! It's Chasie!! I love him. Great video working Chase bitless and the instruction. Thanks! ❤
I love your manner your patience your tone of voice so kind. Loving well done Jessie
You are very kind. I like the bit-less training.
Chacey was listening to your instructions so intently. He really enjoyed trying something new.
Yea! So happy to see this video. You and Chase look great together. He’s such a beautiful boy. Love you guys!❤
Jesse, you are just wonderful. Your love of horses, your gentle and caring manner, how fortunate for the horses you train. Thank you for your excellent and informative lesson.
I loved this video. You teach us in a way that is so easy to understand.
Such a treat to hear you teach, Jesse. He is quite bouncy! He looks great!
That looked like such a lovely ride! Chase seemed to really enjoy it ❤
I love that bareback pad, it looks really comfortable. I also appreciate the explanation of the bitless bridle. I thought the bitless bridle was more like a halter with reins! Thanks Jesse.
A really good instructional video, thanks Jesse ❤
Love that Chase gets to have some fun time to work again.
Thank you! I have been wondering how to get a horse “on the bit” without a bit! I understand better now.
Chasey has the most luxurious tail 🧡
Loved this! I think chase really enjoyed it 😊❤
I go onto RUclips every evening and when I see a video from Jesse or Matt that takes preference over anything else I watch. I love it when you post your videos. Keep up the fantastic work you do ❤
Love the way you two have different directions in riding but are able to share and respect the differences.... having the horses well being at heart holds it together
Always love seeing your videos ❤
Learn so much from Matt and Jesse... Thank you guys so much for sharing.
Always good to see you Jesse. Thanks for sharing your life with us. You're doing great. Be safe. Stay well.
Love your videos Jesse❤
Thank you for the tutorial on bitless riding Jesse! I think Chase is beautiful ❤
We have missed you love you’re videos ❤❤
Thank you so much Jesse! I love the bitless bridal. I watch all your Videos!
Awe I love seeing Chase❤
Love your videos. They make me feel calm and content. Your expertise with your horses is very much appreciated. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day.
I love to see Chase being ridden and worked and spoiled, he is a great horse and far too young to only be in the field.
Chase is King and Andora is Queen of your stable. ❤❤❤ His movement is as beautiful as he is. More Chase videos, please 😊
Chase has a wonderful, rhymical gait. He is not ready for retirement. He loved that lesson with you.
He's a wonderful demonstration horse, Matt and Jesse let Chase enjoy his rides because he is included in the conversation.
Chase reminds me of a horse I learned to ride on, he seems to have a pleasant personality but still a challenge to ride. I can see why they keep him
Chase is a working model like his Dad 😊😅. And they have said he is in light work with one of their employees who rides him regularly.
love your videos ❤❤❤❤
Hi Jesse, thank you so much for sharing, Loved it all. Chase is zo sweet and Beautiful ❤
Jesse I would like thank you for an excellent tutorial. You really so kind and caring when you ride and explain to us exactly what you are doing. Brilliant vlog!
Chase is such a handsome boy and looks so sweet to ride. You are so talented too Jesse 😊
Great job on the vid and sponsorship. I liked the format.
Love your mindset of caring deeply that your horse is having fun. Warms my ❤
On your next stable talk please remind us how many horses you two have. I love hearing about them & I'm rather new in following. Love you both!!
Nice seeing another video from you. I am so glad you are staying on top of the growths on Antares. I hope to see him healthy and able to get back to work with you soon. I loved watching your caring and informative ride with Chase and the bitless bridle. Great to see you with the dogs, but watch out for that jacket & shoe "person" hiding! You always put a smile on my face.😊
his tale hair is so beautiful it's hypnotising
He is so beautiful!! I love the idea of bitless.
This was mesmerising to me! So well explained and sweet.
Very helpful. Thank you. 🎉
Lovely well done ❤
heyyyy love your videoss
Actually there are a LOT of equestrian RUclipsrs and IG posters who are 100% dedicated to kindness as their founding principal. Jesse is probably the best, and possibly the most well known, but he FAR from being alone. There are millions of us who are like him, or are trying to be like him!
There are some very well known old guys, who are old school but pretend to be kindness based, but when the chips are down they show their true colors. These guys sell books and videos, and are heavily business oriented, which is how they got famous. But they are very much being ignored by the modern audience, as people realize that they are only pretenders.
I'm not saying all old guys are no good, just that anyone who bases a business on horses should be taken with a grain of salt, because some of them are just posers. Their methods should be examined very closely.
Jesse's methods always pass any test with flying colors! So I'm doubling down on the idea that he is 1 of the best, or maybe even the best.
@@cattymajiv yeah i agree with you! there are tons more. but he stands out. i also in a way meant a section famous riders(didnt want to hurt any feelings so i didnt keep it lol) but many top riders with millions of gear on their horses couldnt top jesse, he has that spesific training and trust with his that alot of people lack .
Awww he loved the fuss ❤ just that face i could groom him every day ❤
I really want that stirrupless saddle thing you have
It's a bareback pad. I love it too! ❤
Thank you!! Its on my website❤
Wat een verschil het begin en einde. Hij is zo soepel opeens! Prachtig paard❤️
Thanks Jesse, really liked this video and your positive attitude to training the horses. 😊
That saddle pad looks extremely comfy for the both the rider and the horse.
So wonderful that you promote bitless riding. Always has been my favorite. Your bitless bridle is the best made
I really like watching you riding Chase....he tries so hard for you! This video really helps me as I am starting to do bitless with my boy. Thank you! I want to say that I love the bareback saddle you designed as well as the bitless bridle. The shipping to the US is sooo expensive now so I am using what I could get. I am staying positive that what I have will work.
I like it so much how calm Jesse with his hands are.
Sweet Chase ❤
Hey Jesse,it's nice to see you and Chase riding together lately 👍.
Honestly I thought he was sick and was living his best life out with you 2🫢.
He is so gorgeous and gentle 😊.
He had a little magic going on for a min 😊.
JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞
