It has been about 8 months according to the comments.She is gorgeous & she is your heart horse. She sure doesn't look her age or performance either, everything is perfect. It was fabulous. What breed is she I must have missed it? So also how has her retirement been for her, since she loves all the attention?❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
"Normally you did many bows for me, but now I bow for you!" ...this brought me to tears!😢 Jesse, you are an amazing person with a huge heart full of love for your beautiful animals.❤️ Be blessed!
This was just so beautiful-- Jesse's emotional honesty, Andorra's loveliness and grace, the outstanding videography and editing-- all of it. I am wiping my eyes.
Yea, . . . . . . . me too! It definitely pulled at the viewers heart strings! The ability of all that you mentioned to tell the story; to bring it all together so perfectly, . . . . well, it brought me right back to all of my moments with my horses. The feelings that they were able to pull out of the viewer is deeply touching!
I really do admire you as a horseman. My goodness Jesse, I am crying with you. I don’t think there is anyone that comes close to you in the horse world.
I totally agree. I came to write the same very thing. And to Andorras - you are an exceptional creature of great intelligence and beauty, enjoy every day of your retirement.
With 1232 comments, I doubt you will see this, Jesse... but I need to tell you how moved I was by this tribute and your sentiments together - and her eyes for you, those soft soft soft eyes for you. I just lost my 28 year-old mare who was born here. She was my girl and I so understand all of your emotions. Thank you for saying what I didn't get to say about my mare. Thank you to you for this - and Thank you to all the incredible mares.
@@loria.4397 I agree. As I said in an comment. I as a human did not feel this level of thanks and respect when I retired as a nurse. My kids did honor me but not the workforce. It was like ok. Bye bye you old lady. Make way for us young folks. Never mind what you may have done for us.
@@laurelldockall2399 so sorry to hear, people get so wrapped up in their own bubble, they forget about the angels around them. Sending hugs and many Thank You's to your dedicated service, dear Laurell🌻
Oh my, look at how beautifully healthy she looks!!! This magnificent lady is going to live the life of luxury! Well deserved, this is such a beautiful relationship!!
Jesse, what a genuine, honest person you are. Everything you said and did was from the heart. Bowing to Annie to show how much you really wanted to thank her - what a beautiful heartfelt gesture! You are a very special human. Never change :)
Thank you Jesse for sharing this special moment. It may be your last show with Andora, but certainly not the end of the journey with your beautiful friend. ❤️
JESSE, YOU HAVE SUCH A KIND, SWEET HEART TOWARDS YOUR HORSE. YOU ARE SO SWEET AND KIND-HEARTED YOURSELF WHICH YOU LOVE SHARING WITH EVERYONE.😌💗🙏🏻🌹🐎🐴🌺 YOU MADE ME CRY....🥲😭🥲 "HAPPY TEARS", OF COURSE, JUST BY THE TOUCHING WORDS YOU HAVE SPOKEN. 💐CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND ADORRA'S RETIREMENT. 🙏🏻💗 MAY GOD BLESS YOU, ANDORRA, AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU. ENJOY ANDORRA AND MAY YOU HAVE MANY MORE MEMORABLE MOMENTS DURING HER RETIREMENT AND FOR YOU TO SPEND QUALITY TIME TOGETHER, JUST YOU AND YOUR PET HORSE.💗🙏🏻🌹🐎🐴🌹
When you said „Normally you made many bows for me but now I will bow for you.“, I really started tearing up 🥺 I discovered your channel about 7-8 years ago through your montages of you riding and playing with Andorra and I got lucky enough to see you perform live at Equitana in 2019. You two have such a special connection that can be seen through the screen and I hope you can enjoy many more happy memories together ❤️ Thank you for sharing this special moment with us!
OMG…there are no words. If every animal could be loved as Jesse loves Annie, it would be a boon to the animal kingdom. I have followed Jesse and his journey. With all his goodness, how can you not help but love him.
Jesse, so many kisses...She knows she is special; she knows she is loved. That is what is important. She will happily enter her retirement. I am a retired teacher who once thought, " how can I not get students to love Shakespeare again?" However, It was right for me and it will be right for Andorra. Andorra retired when she was still beautiful and able to give her best. She will be very happy. Thank you for sharing. This was a beautiful video and tribute to Andorra and her fans. Watching from a hotel room having evacuated hurricane Ian in Cape Coral, Florida, USA. Soon to be back in my home.
I can't believe she's 28! She's still so athletic! She reminds me of my old boy, also a bay with a white star. Such perky beautiful ears! You are such a sweet young man, I appreciate you sharing this with us.❤
The support they show for each other is unspeakable. Choose every good supporting adjective that you can think of and all of those words do not even describe their support enough.
Andorra and Jesse were meant to be together and when I look at them together it's makes feel so joyful and happy because that have such a special bond together and that understand each other and I am so thankful and very proud of you Jesse and as well Andorra she is a horse that is so special and sweet and caring and loving and funny and I wish I could of been there at her last show but I wanted to say thank you to Jesse and Because I have learned so much from them and you Jesse have shown me how to do all kinds of different things and I have a horse named Denver and i have own him for 3 years and Denver gives these feeling that no outer horses has before and I believe that Denver is my heart horse and that what I believe that Jesse and Andorra have as well you Jesse have fond your heart horse and Andorra has found her I guess heat person . But as I have been following you and Andorra hole journey together it really shows how much you love her and care about her and that's something that is very special to have together and I am so thankful and grateful that you both have each other and I am looking forward to the new adventures and new things you both well be doing now . I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart Jesse and Andorra if it's for you guys I wouldn't know as much as I do now so THANK YOU BOTH LOVE YOU SI MUCH ❤️💯🐴 I hope you one day meet you Jesse 🥰 💯
What a beautiful and very loved horse, and what a beautiful and honorable human being who understands that the animals on our planet can be our friends, as they are all angels who have feelings and who are here to teach us about love, honor, and respect. Many blessings to Jesse and Andorra!!!
Wow. I remember when I was 13 in middle school watching your videos with Andorra and being so amazed. I am now almost 22 and a senior in college. How time flies. What a wonderful horse and bond you have with her. Thank you for always treating her with such respect and love. Really inspiring!
how are you 22 and in college? sorry, i got a bit confused because where I live college means high school, but where you live i assume it means university? ❤
Certain horses find us and change the course of our lives. She did this for you but you certainly changed her life for the better too. In tears. So much love for you guys ❤
I started out this video teary eyed and I was a sobbing mess at the end. An absolutely magnificent ending of an era but the story will beautifully continue. Bravo!
I have no doubt she felt everything you did without a word being spoken. What a beautiful relationship you have. The way you are with all your animals is so heartwarming to watch and you indeed have a special gift. Congratulations to you and Andorra and thank you for this video.
Oh man, you’ve both got me tearing up! Andorra is such a sweetheart and such a special girl, I’m so glad that she has had such an incredible life with you, and I know y’all will have so many more amazing years together! Cheers to Andorras retirement! May she graze and enjoy life to the fullest!!!
She looks very good so you will have a good amount of years to come. She looks healthy so I have no doubt about it. I knew a pony that was about 37 years old. And still was in good health.
So much love. First, there is you. The genuine and deep love you are is noticeable by all. Then there is Andorra. I so believe in inner-species love, because I have experienced it. Watching your face, watching you and Andorra talk to each other ... I could not stop the tears brought on by the beauty of the moment. Then when you bowed in honor of Andorra, I lost it. The tears turned into a river. And I have been watching you and Matt for years, and maybe I am wrong, but I think this was the first time I have ever seen you and Matt hug. This video is magnificent. Thank you for being you ... the world is a better place with you in it.
You read my mind!! When I saw Jesse wipe the first tear from his eyes,I started to cry. His bow to Andorra,I lost it. They both are so very special,so very loved by so many. I'm one of them!
Michael Brown, so beautifully said, I agree, the world is a better place with Jesse Drent and his love for all animals. Matt and Jesse are sweet in their loving support of each other in their equestrian disciplines. Jesse gave Matt a quick hug of encouragement before Matt's first time performing on Chase at Horse Event in 2018. You can see that in Episode 5 of Chasing the Dream after Matt moved to the Netherlands. In all of his years of riding, Matt had never performed in front of thousands of people, so it was a big deal and Jesse made sure to support and encourage him. It was so nice to see Matt show the same support for Jesse before Andorra's last performance.
Incredibly beautiful video. The horse is beautiful, the boy is handsome and the love is real. I am in tears. Thank you two for sharing this with us. Much, much love to you both ❤️
What an incredibly moving video and tribute. I think Andorra felt the immense love all around her, especially at the end when the audience was reaching out to pat her. Jesse, your bow to Andorra was such a beautiful and respectful way to acknowledge your history together. I only wish every horse could feel the same love you have given to her. I’ll watch again, once I stop the tears falling from this viewing.
We all remember that special horse. Mine has been gone 20 years now. I still remember how she made me feel. I know your happy over the rainbow bridge Mandy. ❤
I love her doe-like face. She moves very nicely for her age! I can FEEL the love you have for each other and it is immense. She loves you SO much! You had me crying when you honored her and got on your knees for her. Actually, I started crying when I felt her desire to please you in doing all the tricks. It's not out of only training with her, she does it because she loves you so much. Since she likes kids so much and people so much, why not take her out to do animal education at schools etc. You know horses are great therapy for autistic children. I can feel your telepathic rapport with each other. Your relationship with her is so special and so incredibly gorgeous.
Well deserved retirement.. she still looks gorgeous as a senior. Thank you for sharing these beautiful bittersweet moments, Jesse. Every end is a new beginning. In her case: beginning of professionally lazing in the field, sleeping and eating with her pals. ♥️
Ooh Jesse, that was so emotional. Annie was wonderful, she really enjoyed being there with you - When you bowed before her, there was probably not a dry face around. Your love and respect for another shines through so clearly - I love the beautiful bond you both have, Annie is so special. She knows you love her like crazy. She is just as thankfull. You can be so proud of her! Make the most of her retirement as you can. Be thankful for every day. I am sure she will be around you for a long time yet. You will be fine - you have her love for you, what more can man hope for. Blessed be 💕
Jesse man... you made me cry. Horses were taken away from me a few years ago due to money, and I have to live every single day wishing I could just feel the presence of a horse and recently the first hose I ever rode died of a stroke and we were best friends
Jesse…I cried every moment of that with you. Just from watching your videos-I see what a kind, caring and incredible human being you are. It is no wonder why Andora loves you so much. Your journey is beautiful and thank you so much for sharing that and your life. People like me appreciate so much that you share those personal moments, they are just so real and inspiring to watch. She will love doing all the fun things you do with her at home. I know she felt the love in that performance and that bow to her was 😢 so beautiful. I felt the love through my screen all the way from the US! I truly wish you and her all the happiness in your home together with the rest of the herd 😉 (including Matt 😉) You are a wonderful horseman and you will always remember and cherish that she helped you become who you are. Feel privileged to have been able to see that moment
You can really tell that you have that special bond with your mare, I used to raise and show Arabians and I had a Gelding named "Sunsation"-"Sunny" for short he was 37 years old when he passed away on his own in his sleep. He was my Saddle Seat/Country English Pleasure show horse.
It’s such an obvious close connection you share and it was like watching a much younger pony out there. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It was obviously very difficult for you in some ways but, you did both yourself and Andorra proud. Now you get to move onto the next chapter and Andorra gets to enjoy a retirement full of love, care and fun with her best friend.
Andorra looks like a lady who thoroughly enjoys her celebrity and the applause that goe s with it. She looks far younger than her years. Will she stay as fit and flexible if she is totally retired? You know of course that you will need to play applause for her when she does neat things in the future, right? A celebrity if stage, screen and pasture always needs a little fanfare in their day! Thank you for sharing this last performance day with us.
you are awesome Jesse I can see you truly cherish your horses I live in newzealand we love horses in our little country we have horse of the year where I live each year its fantastic you would love it keep up the wonderful work you do
Geez Jesse, I’m not even bothering wiping my eyes as they keep balling .. What an emotional end of a chapter but the start of a new one ! You should be proud of her, proud of yourself as your younger self would look up to you with admiration like we all do! Happy retirement to this incredible mare ❤
Andorra and the little one look gorgeous. Andorra does not look like 28 y/o. She still looks good! Thank you for letting her retire. You’re such an excellent master. God bless
Andorra looked stunning in the show. I literally cried through this entire video. It was a beautiful video, with so much love and history included. I was also so happy to see Matt there. As busy as you all tend to be, I was really concerned he might have another commitment. I really hope you and Andorra have many many more years of just spending time together, and creating many more beautiful memories. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Jesse.
Oh my gosh. I started crying the moment I saw the title of this Video. Andorra is very lucky to have you as her owner. I see how much you love her and not just her but to all horses. I also see how you and Matt love each other and support each other. That is exactly how relationships should be. 😊
I had a strawberry roan appaloosa growing up. He and I were inseparable. When he was grooming his horse you can see the love and contentment he was able to give his horse. The love and trust is unbelievable and unbreakable.
Hey, Jesse. I love your approach to horses and to their training. You treat them as partners and friends. Andorra has aged so well, looking so good for an elderly lady🥰. I wish you many happy years to come.... Greetings from Germany, Nicole
The world would be a sadder place without animals …..wild ones are beautiful to see……and your pets in any shape or form are treasured friends….a gift 💝
Jesse, What an exquisite finalé. You both seemed so quietly, confidently, content together. The connection you and Andorra share is palpable and so special. I must say, Andorra looked particularly beautiful and relaxed throughout the video- as if she understood what this all meant to you. She helped you through as only a great partner could. Thank you for sharing you most treasured moments with us all, I learn so much from watching your gentle approach. I look forward to seeing your retirement adventures in the forest together. Edit: Let’s not forget the gorgeous, spunky little Mucho... his delightful personality shines through without fail whenever he is asked to do a walk on cameo.
Love never ends! Thank you, Jesse and Annie, for sharing this special show with us. When you bowed, I cried. This performance was a beautiful, bittersweet crescendo in your lives, but the music plays on. Enjoy each precious day. Keep smiling! 😉
Jesse , your kindness and compassion is remarkable. Animals and people alike. Your truly a Gift from God for all of us to admire. Thanks and ps : Andorra looks fantastic at 28. Woo hoo 😀
When you love a horse so much she shapes everything about you as a horseperson, it can be very hard to imagine yourself doing the same things with your other horses. It doesn't feel the same and maybe you're even scared you won't feel the same passion again as you did working with her all those years. But I think that as she grew in your heart and life, your other horses can grow big like that too. They won't ever replace how important she is to you but they will occupy their own space in your heart, in your work and in your journey as a horseman. Sometimes I lay awake at night wondering if I'll ever feel the same about my other horses as I do about my mare, who's been with me for the last 20 years. I'm hopeful I will. Our mares started something immensely important in our lives because of the trouble they gave us and the journey they sent us on. Their working days may be over, but their job as a teacher is never done. Every day you're on the path she sent you on is a new step into your future. I hope you will find the space within yourself to cultivate another love and passion as big as your love for Andorra. The impact she has on your life is forever and she'll always be special because of that.
I am so glad that there is a such a gentle souled and big huge kind hearted gentleman of a kid with this horse what a wonderful person he uses no whip and no spur or a bit in it's mouth when it had the bridal one he also did not pull yank on the horses head or mouth with the reins either he never even actually hurt it at all unlike how so many other people would of done to their own horses. What these two have is a very strong bond of friendship between man and horse going on here it brings my heart and soul joy to see natural horsemanship with those two in the video with both the pony and the horse both are well loved and taken care of by this kind young man. Why can't many other people in this cold, cruel heartless world do this too with their own animals wether it be a dog or a cat or a bird or horse or a pig or a gunipig or even a hamster and a bunny and so many other animals too. All these poor things all want is to be loved and given affection and kindness by those who own them you know that horse is very extreamly lucky to have such a kind and caring owner for it to even have with it I do so very much hope that this sweet horse would stay with this young kid all of the way to retirement and that it never get's sold to anyone because people who dont even have any kindness or even a heart at all would of ruiened this horse. Cruelity to animals of all kinds or types or sorts is unfortionently popular these day's sad to say the least.
Jesse is wonderful with all animals; it is so nice that Andorra lives at home where he can take good care of her every day. You can watch Jesse's video 'Swimming with my 28 year old horse in the ocean' to see how he still rides Andorra in a way that makes her happy. ❤❤🐎
@@chasingfences1302 yep I'm sure she wont that horse mare and pony mare that young boy Jesse has got both have got a heart of gold from what I've seen in the video of course.
@@regraby3544 Jesse is a gentle soul, he loves all animals and even rescued an injured lamb this year. He has a special love for Andorra as she was his first horse and has been with him for 14 years. I think his parents must be very proud of him.
This was so so beautiful Jesse, I own a 23 yr old quarter horse paint mare, she is my first horse and has taught me so so so many things not just with horses and animals but with life itself, I haven't shown her in awhile due to life getting in the way but I always spend as much time with her as possible, even though she acts like a young filly sometimes you never know when it will be our last moments together and I cherish each one, this video and all your others show how much you truly love and care for your animals and it makes my heart warm to know there is someone else like me out there who feels the same about our babies, Andorra we love you and Jesse so so so much, I pray you and Andorra stay together for another 14 yrs❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰 lots of love and remember Jesus Loves you and God bless❤❤❤❤
I started with a few tears and then realized we normally celebrate retirement and Annie should be no different. And what a spectacular retirement she'll have, filled with love and all her favorite things! Looking forward to seeing all the future fun you have together. You should be so proud of the partnership you share with each other, the love and respect comes shining through.
Of everyone, I love how you care for your animals the most. What a lucky horse to have so much love. Now she can relax and just enjoy you and the beautiful home you provide her.
Thank you all so much
you and Andorra had a very special bond together and i did with my friends pony and i cried all the time i still cry now even though its been 2 and a half years now and its very sad for you and me and i only had one show with him and at the very end because he was being sold on a thursday i cried at school and at the very end we had a photoshoot on a saturday before the selling happend and i cried all the way home from my barn and after the photoshoot aswell and it was very hard for me because i had him since i was about 5 and im 8 now and it must be very hard for you aswell because it was very hard for me aswell but im was very lucky because i got to go to a horse show with my horse and my mums freind was there and she has a pony called dee and she called over my mum for a private chat and i was like what the hell and then my mums freind came over and siad do you want to loan dee and i said of course i do and it felt very special at that moment becauseit was winter and i couldnt ride my horse so i couldnt ride any but i was very lucky ther when she said that so i am very happy with dee now and we have a very special bond but theres this one girl where she is always holding my reighns and it is very annoying and i want to help to not be scared if i fall off and with the other pony i had a very very very very special bond with him and more that Dee
Thanks for sharing this. It was perfect. May y'all have many happy trails together.
Wow, she does not look her age. I can tell you love her. She's still absolutely beautiful at 28yo.
You are such a caring and BEAUTIFUL PERSON ❤❤❤

omg i was crying haha. it was so beautiful Jesse.
Watching your channel for the first time I got a shock when I sore Matt in the background
I don't think I've really ever cried to a video but that got me in my feels
I know right, that’s when the tears wouldn’t stop. Such an emotional moment, not many people would bow to their horse.
Same I teared up some came out so emotional
She does look so much younger than her 28 years. That alone shows the love and care you have given her over the years.
This was just so beautiful-- Jesse's emotional honesty, Andorra's loveliness and grace, the outstanding videography and editing-- all of it. I am wiping my eyes.

That Last show is always hard to get through but very memorable
"Normally you did many bows for me, but now I bow for you!"
This was beautiful ❤
🥲&😢 for you and Annie!
Thank you both! ❤️❤️
Stop this made my cry😢❤
I really do admire you as a horseman.
My goodness Jesse, I am crying with you.
I don’t think there is anyone that comes close to you in the horse world.
AGREE! ❤❤❤

Omg when Andora was walking ahead and Jesse said woah she responded immediately and stopped and waited 🥲🥰 that’s too adorable x

Hello how are you doing today

What a beautiful and very loved horse, and what a beautiful and honorable human being who understands that the animals on our planet can be our friends, as they are all angels who have feelings and who are here to teach us about love, honor, and respect. Many blessings to Jesse and Andorra!!!
I could feel just how much you love this very special horse, bless you Jesse. ❤❤
HIS HORSE IS 28 YEARS OLD
Jesse the bond you have with Annie is amazing. It’s her last performance but not the last day she will be loved and cherished by you.
Wow. I remember when I was 13 in middle school watching your videos with Andorra and being so amazed. I am now almost 22 and a senior in college. How time flies. What a wonderful horse and bond you have with her. Thank you for always treating her with such respect and love. Really inspiring!
I love how he kisses his animals on their cheeks. I have always done the same
I love how he kicks his one foot
how are you 22 and in college?
sorry, i got a bit confused because where I live college means high school, but where you live i assume it means university? ❤
Certain horses find us and change the course of our lives. She did this for you but you certainly changed her life for the better too.
In tears. So much love for you guys ❤
beautiful , beautiful. . us humans are so blessed to have these equine soulmates in our life. thank you for sharing
I started out this video teary eyed and I was a sobbing mess at the end. An absolutely magnificent ending of an era but the story will beautifully continue. Bravo!
When you bowed to your girl I lost it. You have shown the world what true love and respect is for your companion🥰🥰🥰
I have no doubt she felt everything you did without a word being spoken. What a beautiful relationship you have. The way you are with all your animals is so heartwarming to watch and you indeed have a special gift. Congratulations to you and Andorra and thank you for this video.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can't hardly swallow....
Thank you so much doing good for a big 28, Retirement!!!!
Always ❤️❤️💞💞💋💋🤗🤗🤗
Wonderful, thanks
Hello how are you doing today
Oh man, you’ve both got me tearing up! Andorra is such a sweetheart and such a special girl, I’m so glad that she has had such an incredible life with you, and I know y’all will have so many more amazing years together! Cheers to Andorras retirement! May she graze and enjoy life to the fullest!!!
Hello how are you
She looks very good so you will have a good amount of years to come. She looks healthy so I have no doubt about it. I knew a pony that was about 37 years old.
And still was in good health.
So much love. First, there is you. The genuine and deep love you are is noticeable by all. Then there is Andorra. I so believe in inner-species love, because I have experienced it. Watching your face, watching you and Andorra talk to each other ... I could not stop the tears brought on by the beauty of the moment. Then when you bowed in honor of Andorra, I lost it. The tears turned into a river. And I have been watching you and Matt for years, and maybe I am wrong, but I think this was the first time I have ever seen you and Matt hug. This video is magnificent. Thank you for being you ... the world is a better place with you in it.
You read my mind!! When I saw Jesse wipe the first tear from his eyes,I started to cry. His bow to Andorra,I lost it. They both are so very special,so very loved by so many. I'm one of them!
Michael Brown, so beautifully said, I agree, the world is a better place with Jesse Drent and his love for all animals. Matt and Jesse are sweet in their loving support of each other in their equestrian disciplines. Jesse gave Matt a quick hug of encouragement before Matt's first time performing on Chase at Horse Event in 2018. You can see that in Episode 5 of Chasing the Dream after Matt moved to the Netherlands. In all of his years of riding, Matt had never performed in front of thousands of people, so it was a big deal and Jesse made sure to support and encourage him. It was so nice to see Matt show the same support for Jesse before Andorra's last performance.
Have you ever seen a more contented horse. Beautiful.
What a special and beautiful send off for Andora! She is so loved.
How sweet you made me cry you hugged her so much Assume ❤bless you now I have to go out and hug my two🐎🐎🖐️🥕
I understand that special relationship with your 1st horse . 27 years ! Bravo!! My 1st horse lived 37 years! Maybe you will enjoy many more years!
She looks amazing for 28 years old.
Incredibly beautiful video. The horse is beautiful, the boy is handsome and the love is real. I am in tears. Thank you two for sharing this with us. Much, much love to you both ❤️
Am I the only one that is crying so hard my eyes are red
What an incredibly moving video and tribute. I think Andorra felt the immense love all around her, especially at the end when the audience was reaching out to pat her. Jesse, your bow to Andorra was such a beautiful and respectful way to acknowledge your history together. I only wish every horse could feel the same love you have given to her. I’ll watch again, once I stop the tears falling from this viewing.
Oh my……. It’s killing me. I will bow to you. Just lovely. A young man and his heart horse
How does she look sooooo good for 28yrs old WOW!! I know mustangs can live long wow!
Great job 👏 👍 👌
I just wanna say that Andorra looks fantastic for 28!
We all remember that special horse. Mine has been gone 20 years now. I still remember how she made me feel. I know your happy over the rainbow bridge Mandy. ❤
He is so sweet to his horse. I love how he’s always talking to her and kissing her.
Jesse, I saw the way she looks at you! She genuinely loves you and I love that.🐴🐎❤️😍
I love her doe-like face. She moves very nicely for her age! I can FEEL the love you have for each other and it is immense. She loves you SO much! You had me crying when you honored her and got on your knees for her. Actually, I started crying when I felt her desire to please you in doing all the tricks. It's not out of only training with her, she does it because she loves you so much. Since she likes kids so much and people so much, why not take her out to do animal education at schools etc. You know horses are great therapy for autistic children. I can feel your telepathic rapport with each other. Your relationship with her is so special and so incredibly gorgeous.
A wonderful and touching tribute to sweet Andorra and your kind relationship with her. Thank you for sharing. 💙
Jesse, I just discovered you and Matt a few weeks ago. This was an awesome tribute. Thank you for sharing.
Well deserved retirement.. she still looks gorgeous as a senior. Thank you for sharing these beautiful bittersweet moments, Jesse. Every end is a new beginning. In her case: beginning of professionally lazing in the field, sleeping and eating with her pals. ♥️
Ooh Jesse, that was so emotional. Annie was wonderful, she really enjoyed being there with you - When you bowed before her, there was probably not a dry face around. Your love and respect for another shines through so clearly - I love the beautiful bond you both have, Annie is so special. She knows you love her like crazy. She is just as thankfull. You can be so proud of her!
Make the most of her retirement as you can. Be thankful for every day. I am sure she will be around you for a long time yet.
You will be fine - you have her love for you, what more can man hope for. Blessed be 💕
Hello pretty how are you
Thank you for letting the world be a part of your love for Annie. She looked beautiful and you can tell she loves the audience
Thank you Jesse Drents parents, for having Jesse Drent. ❤️
Jesse man... you made me cry. Horses were taken away from me a few years ago due to money, and I have to live every single day wishing I could just feel the presence of a horse and recently the first hose I ever rode died of a stroke and we were best friends
She remembers me my first mare. It’s really rare to find a horse “soulmate” and it’s nice to see your special relationship. She’s absolutely beautiful
Jesse…I cried every moment of that with you. Just from watching your videos-I see what a kind, caring and incredible human being you are. It is no wonder why Andora loves you so much. Your journey is beautiful and thank you so much for sharing that and your life. People like me appreciate so much that you share those personal moments, they are just so real and inspiring to watch. She will love doing all the fun things you do with her at home. I know she felt the love in that performance and that bow to her was 😢 so beautiful. I felt the love through my screen all the way from the US! I truly wish you and her all the happiness in your home together with the rest of the herd 😉 (including Matt 😉) You are a wonderful horseman and you will always remember and cherish that she helped you become who you are. Feel privileged to have been able to see that moment
You can really tell that you have that special bond with your mare, I used to raise and show Arabians and I had a Gelding named "Sunsation"-"Sunny" for short he was 37 years old when he passed away on his own in his sleep. He was my Saddle Seat/Country English Pleasure show horse.
Hello how are you doing
It’s such an obvious close connection you share and it was like watching a much younger pony out there. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It was obviously very difficult for you in some ways but, you did both yourself and Andorra proud. Now you get to move onto the next chapter and Andorra gets to enjoy a retirement full of love, care and fun with her best friend.
Hello pretty how are you
I loved how you let the people pet her. Because a lot of them have probably never touched a horse before. She is Beautiful.
Andorra looks like a lady who thoroughly enjoys her celebrity and the applause that goe s with it. She looks far younger than her years. Will she stay as fit and flexible if she is totally retired? You know of course that you will need to play applause for her when she does neat things in the future, right? A celebrity if stage, screen and pasture always needs a little fanfare in their day! Thank you for sharing this last performance day with us.
you are awesome Jesse I can see you truly cherish your horses I live in newzealand we love horses in our little country we have horse of the year where I live each year its fantastic you would love it keep up the wonderful work you do
Geez Jesse, I’m not even bothering wiping my eyes as they keep balling ..
What an emotional end of a chapter but the start of a new one ! You should be proud of her, proud of yourself as your younger self would look up to you with admiration like we all do!
Happy retirement to this incredible mare ❤
Hello pretty how are you
Andorra and the little one look gorgeous. Andorra does not look like 28 y/o. She still looks good! Thank you for letting her retire. You’re such an excellent master. God bless
Andorra looked stunning in the show. I literally cried through this entire video. It was a beautiful video, with so much love and history included. I was also so happy to see Matt there. As busy as you all tend to be, I was really concerned he might have another commitment. I really hope you and Andorra have many many more years of just spending time together, and creating many more beautiful memories. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Jesse.
Oh my gosh. I started crying the moment I saw the title of this Video. Andorra is very lucky to have you as her owner. I see how much you love her and not just her but to all horses. I also see how you and Matt love each other and support each other. That is exactly how relationships should be. 😊
Andorra adores Jesse & all of their fans! What a beautiful final performance & celebration of their success & her well deserved retirement 🐴💕
I had a strawberry roan appaloosa growing up. He and I were inseparable. When he was grooming his horse you can see the love and contentment he was able to give his horse. The love and trust is unbelievable and unbreakable.
Hey, Jesse.
I love your approach to horses and to their training.
You treat them as partners and friends.
Andorra has aged so well, looking so good for an elderly lady🥰. I wish you many happy years to come....
Greetings from Germany, Nicole
The world would be a sadder place without animals …..wild ones are beautiful to see……and your pets in any shape or form are treasured friends….a gift 💝
Wonderful tribute to Annie and send off to retirement. Your Love for your horses shines through you, Great job 🥰❤❤❤
Hello pretty how are you doing
Jesse,
What an exquisite finalé.
You both seemed so quietly, confidently, content together. The connection you and Andorra share is palpable and so special.
I must say, Andorra looked particularly beautiful and relaxed throughout the video- as if she understood what this all meant to you. She helped you through as only a great partner could.
Thank you for sharing you most treasured moments with us all, I learn so much from watching your gentle approach.
I look forward to seeing your retirement adventures in the forest together.
Edit: Let’s not forget the gorgeous, spunky little Mucho... his delightful personality shines through without fail whenever he is asked to do a walk on cameo.
Love never ends! Thank you, Jesse and Annie, for sharing this special show with us. When you bowed, I cried. This performance was a beautiful, bittersweet crescendo in your lives, but the music plays on. Enjoy each precious day. Keep smiling! 😉
When you bowed to Annie.... 🥺😥😢 What a beautiful tribute for your special girl, forever your ♥️🐴 (heart horse).
Jesse , your kindness and compassion is remarkable. Animals and people alike. Your truly a Gift from God for all of us to admire.
Thanks and ps : Andorra looks fantastic at 28. Woo hoo 😀
When you love a horse so much she shapes everything about you as a horseperson, it can be very hard to imagine yourself doing the same things with your other horses. It doesn't feel the same and maybe you're even scared you won't feel the same passion again as you did working with her all those years. But I think that as she grew in your heart and life, your other horses can grow big like that too. They won't ever replace how important she is to you but they will occupy their own space in your heart, in your work and in your journey as a horseman.
Sometimes I lay awake at night wondering if I'll ever feel the same about my other horses as I do about my mare, who's been with me for the last 20 years. I'm hopeful I will.
Our mares started something immensely important in our lives because of the trouble they gave us and the journey they sent us on. Their working days may be over, but their job as a teacher is never done. Every day you're on the path she sent you on is a new step into your future. I hope you will find the space within yourself to cultivate another love and passion as big as your love for Andorra. The impact she has on your life is forever and she'll always be special because of that.
I've never cried over a movie, or a show, but this video got me Jesse. Love you.
I am so glad that there is a such a gentle souled and big huge kind hearted gentleman of a kid with this horse what a wonderful person he uses no whip and no spur or a bit in it's mouth when it had the bridal one he also did not pull yank on the horses head or mouth with the reins either he never even actually hurt it at all unlike how so many other people would of done to their own horses. What these two have is a very strong bond of friendship between man and horse going on here it brings my heart and soul joy to see natural horsemanship with those two in the video with both the pony and the horse both are well loved and taken care of by this kind young man. Why can't many other people in this cold, cruel heartless world do this too with their own animals wether it be a dog or a cat or a bird or horse or a pig or a gunipig or even a hamster and a bunny and so many other animals too. All these poor things all want is to be loved and given affection and kindness by those who own them you know that horse is very extreamly lucky to have such a kind and caring owner for it to even have with it I do so very much hope that this sweet horse would stay with this young kid all of the way to retirement and that it never get's sold to anyone because people who dont even have any kindness or even a heart at all would of ruiened this horse. Cruelity to animals of all kinds or types or sorts is unfortionently popular these day's sad to say the least.
Andorra lives her best life at home with Jesse and his other horses. She will never be sold. 💕
Jesse is wonderful with all animals; it is so nice that Andorra lives at home where he can take good care of her every day. You can watch Jesse's video 'Swimming with my 28 year old horse in the ocean' to see how he still rides Andorra in a way that makes her happy. ❤❤🐎
@@chasingfences1302 yep I'm sure she wont that horse mare and pony mare that young boy Jesse has got both have got a heart of gold from what I've seen in the video of course.
@@regraby3544 Jesse is a gentle soul, he loves all animals and even rescued an injured lamb this year. He has a special love for Andorra as she was his first horse and has been with him for 14 years. I think his parents must be very proud of him.
You are lucky to have your wonderful horse after thus show
Hello how are you doing today
This was so so beautiful Jesse, I own a 23 yr old quarter horse paint mare, she is my first horse and has taught me so so so many things not just with horses and animals but with life itself, I haven't shown her in awhile due to life getting in the way but I always spend as much time with her as possible, even though she acts like a young filly sometimes you never know when it will be our last moments together and I cherish each one, this video and all your others show how much you truly love and care for your animals and it makes my heart warm to know there is someone else like me out there who feels the same about our babies, Andorra we love you and Jesse so so so much, I pray you and Andorra stay together for another 14 yrs❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰 lots of love and remember Jesus Loves you and God bless❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous viewing Jesse , so privileged to share your final stages of performing together,.. Thanks for sharing your love xx
PEACE ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 AND PRAISE...SHES BEAUTIFUL
I started with a few tears and then realized we normally celebrate retirement and Annie should be no different. And what a spectacular retirement she'll have, filled with love and all her favorite things! Looking forward to seeing all the future fun you have together. You should be so proud of the partnership you share with each other, the love and respect comes shining through.
What a girl!!she is so beautiful...best wishes to you both! ❤❤❤❤
Of everyone, I love how you care for your animals the most. What a lucky horse to have so much love. Now she can relax and just enjoy you and the beautiful home you provide her.
I hope she is treated well and witha. Great reverance in her retirement.
Hello pretty how are you doing today
This is the most beautiful, loving and respectful video and story I've ever seen! You are blessed, Jesse... and a true blessing
It's so nice to see the gentle love you have for your baby ..I love seeing the kisses and softness..thank you for your vidios
Jesse is such a beautiful soul and needs to be protected at all costs.
Thank you so much Andorra and Jesse ❤
It was Beautiful when you bowed for her and said all the words you wanted to say. Annie will have a wonderful Retirment. It made me tear up.
Hello how are you
Well, this was a joy and a heart ache, too. Beautiful showmanship from owner and lovely horse.
Thank you for sharing this intimate love you have together. It's great tho that she is now going to retire and be close to you to visit.
Hello how are you doing
Andorra looks so good! The only thing that gives away her age are the hollows above her eyes 💕❤️💕
Hello how are you doing
