Hey guys, thank you for joining me on another video. this time we flew to Portugal to go see and ride my new horse Emporio. hes only been broken in a few months so after having purchased him in Spain I decided to have him moved to a trainer in Portugal called Joao Torrao. Here is his progress so far , Enjoy!!!
Thank you all so much for the positivity, I wanted to take my time to say a few things so everyone can understand Emporio better! He has only been broken in a few months and although he looks strong he is still very weak. He doesn’t have the strength to hold his head in the right positing and can sometimes go behind the vertical. He naturally goes there as it’s easier, my job is to correct that and encourage him to carry himself. Some people may say “why don’t you give him longer reins”, with this breed and at his age it’s very hard for a young horse to be able to stretch and stay balanced... especially for Andalusians. So we are teaching him to open his frame whilst we hold him more lifted up and more collected. The contact with him always feels very light but all that power means it’s a lot harder for Emporio. He’s also very stiff at the moment and his back is very hard, as he continues to grow and keeps getting the attention I am now providing him with this problem will get better (the hind). I hope you guys can understand this is a rising 4 year old horse, the training is not going to look right and I don’t expect anyone to see him already perfect or text book right. This is the training and we are right at the start. Which is exciting! I hope this helps understands a little more about the training and the breed I am now so lucky to own. Hope you enjoyed guys!!!
well explained Matt!
Matt Harnacke so glad you say this! You are absolutely right!! and he is beautiful !! let him train and grow nicely.
Matt Harnacke you do look wonderful together tho. And it seems you two have created a good bond. With the trainer he has now he will get a good foundation, and with you as his owner he has bright future. It will be wonderful to keep following you and Emporio to see where you will end up!
I hope you do not get criticism about him dropping behind the contact at times, because as you said it’s simply due to lack of suppleness and strength and physically he can’t carry himself 100% of the time at the moment! Inexperienced people seem to think that coming behind the vertical is simply the rider being cruel but it’s just a stage of training. No horse can automatically go perfectly and depending on their conformation they will drop behind of fall in front! It can only be helped with correct training and strengthening so you are certainly going the right way about it! I have no doubts you are far more experienced and accomplished in dressage than anyone commenting mean things.
For one, he is absolutely STUNNING!!!
He is doing phenomenally for a 4 year old stallion! Such a great mind about himself, and he is trying so hard. Your doing wonderful with your new boy, and I for one am so excited to watch his growth. This is an awesome teaching opportunity for you to show the behind the scenes that make for a well trained horse!
I can’t get over how gorgeous Emporio is😂😍
Lol armmyy
Brooklyn Leopardlake Ayyyyyyy!💜
Ayyyyyyyy 😂
Emporio is a beautiful horse.
Dog: Yeah don’t worry about the horses , just rub my belly 😀
This horse is straight out of a fairy-tale. Absolutely stunning.
yeah this horse has such a good temperament...
If Matt were to ride my stallion he would properly fall lol...
Omg I love your horses Thayer so cute
That will be one insane horse when he is al grown up
The horse looks huge right till Matt actually gets on lol
IKR
Gertrúd Udvaros right!😂
And his 187 friends 🤣
Gertrúd Udvaros are you saying Matt’s large? 😂
Maybe Matt is tall ?
Your trainer for him has such a beautifully quiet seat and hand! He definitely knows how to bring out the best aspects in your horse... even for a rising 4yo he looks like he is on the right track towards a longer and supple neck and back! Really lovely riding from all in the video
so true !!!!! Loved the horse trainer. Calm, amazing seat and very light contact with the horses mouth (as much as possible).... he's very very good.
@@spfisterer3651 i want too do that be a male equestrian ?. .
The aesthetics of this constant always astounds me. Gorgeous stables, dogs, horses and men. Fabulous! So glad I found you. Shared.
Respect and adoration.
Gorgeous *men* lol 😂
100% agree with gorgeous men :)
"hey puppiiiesss"
"puppies!?my god..."😂😂
The horse is gorgeous and the trainer is gorgeous EVERYONE IS SO DANG GORGEOUS!!!
steven2312 I like Jesse 😂
Very true
The stable is gorgeous too!
steven2312 and so is the horses owner 😉😉
@@julieb3996 the stable is super too ❤️❤️❤️
It's really amazing how calm he is for such a young horse, he doesn't mind the reins flying over his head, the wraps coming loose from the last video, he's just amazing😍
Hello, Matt, as a recent convert to being addicted to your videos, I am catching up on the older ones now. I have always loved horses but only owned one for a very short time. In the 70s riding when pregnant was a no-no so I gave up my horse for my daughter. It warms my heart so much to see the exquisite care that you & Jesse give to all of your furry babies! Now that I'm 75, I will just live vicariously through you two boys! You are the same age as my grandson, Arik. I enjoy every single minute of the vids!! Be well, stay safe and, as always, have a beautiful life!!
The video we've all been waiting for! Emporio is gorgeous!!
*the one dislike is the dog that didn’t get enough pets*
No it's the horses Matt tried but didn't like and they wanted to be owned by him
I think it's people who think there is no sound at the start? So gave up, perhaps.
With his 9 other accounts
was looking for the loose reins but never saw them. plus that bit was making the horse foam at the mouth no release!
no thumbs up or down but im rolling my eye when i hear him talk about loving the horse . he just in love with himself loving having a horse that he pays other people to look after.
@@jugaloking69dope58I know it’s been a long time since this comment and you probably already know this but foam isn’t from the bit, it’s from horses being concentrated. Even liberty horses or horses simply with a head collar foam at the mouth ❤
I kept trying to put my finger on what his movements look like and finally realized he looks like he’s dancing. He’s so graceful and expressive and really seems like a sweet, gentle soul!
The way he looks as João when he brings the halter ❤❤❤ The sign of an amazing trainer when you can see the horse loves them and looks forward to their work ❤❤ You have definitely chose well Matt - both horse and trainer.
He is coming along beautifully for a 4yo x
P.s. Those facilities OMG 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I can't get over that beeping sound in the background 😂
Kristina Quapp what even is it?
Ellie Fischer I think one of the dogs? lol
@@ellief2521 ya I think it was one of the dogs?
It was the dog coughing, lol
Me too 😂😂
What I learned from this video: I need a rider to braid my hair.
We're skilled braiders, haha
Haha! I grew up around horses, used to be a rider myself, and so was my dad. So sometimes my dad was the one braiding my hair when getting ready for school. When we would go to our grandparents after school my grandma would immediately notice and say "Your dad (her son) did your hair again, didn't he". He was a rider, but she didn't seem to think her son was good at braiding. 😂
😂
Ely Star ahaha, gladly.
@@anneliesmeurrens5300 I think dad's don't know how to braid girls haïr 😀
For such a young horse, I’m impressed by how eager and obedient he is. He appears to always want to do his best. Hope you have a long, happy future with him!
Man I wish I was rich.
Armyyyyy ❤️
you're an army like me??? You wanna be rich like me????? hmu
I am sure Matt realizes how blessed he is. He is living the dream for a horse lover.
Armys everywhere😂
BTS IN LONDON _ I’m taking horse riding lessons
PLEASE never cut that horses beautiful mane! He is so pretty!!
I think it would be illegal to cut that beautiful thing off
He cuts all his horses manes from what I've seen, except Bear but I think Bear is an exception.
It destroys me every time someone cuts a horse’s mane 😱. I don’t like that look. Would rather see a roaches mane than a cut one, but natural is best!
I can see it.. You couldn't have given him a better name. He's determined and willing to learn and work with you. Better yet, he has improved a lot in a small amount of time! In result, he will be amazing, no doubt. You've got a beautiful, strong soul in your hands
Such a beautiful horse and place ❤️
His trainer is very talented, caring and clearly knows, what he is doing. Beautiful.
The person taking care of him there was doing a great job. Even down to braiding the mane was done with such care.
His front end is so animated! 😃It’s so interesting to see these Spanish breeds as I live in an area that is predominately Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses. It’s very intriguing to see the difference in green horses in the breeds that I’m used to, and what a green Andalusian looks like. Compared to my ‘baby’ 3 year old OTTB with a dainty head, slender neck and overall slender frame, Emporio looks like he is all neck and shoulders and no hindquarters! His knee action is so gorgeous yet so foreign to me at the same time. I’m going to enjoy watching this handsome boy progress in his training as I watch my girl progress with hers!
Eli Hop yeah here in Texas we are mainly quarter horses, thoroughbreds, and paints.
Everybody is talking about how gorgeous Emporio is.
But die did y'all see all these handsome men?!?
I was looking lol
I was so happy when the trainer said how much he liked Emporio. He is such a good boy and seems to be really trying. I just love him and you are perfect for him.
Besides how gorgeous this horse is, I really love his "facial expression", the eyes with super long lashes... he looks like he has SO MUCH soul. Seems to have a very gentle and sweet personality. Just lovely
Why so I have such a big crush on Jesse and he was only behind the camera today 😅😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
I love that he was everything you didn’t want (grey and young) haha but he’s going to grow into an amazing horse 😍😍
Well acctually Eporio is not grey at all, when an equestrian says grey, they mean white but its called grey.
Anitafox 002 lmao what are you on about...emporio is grey ...
@@xdana0029 grey is a gene that causes hyperpigmentation until the pigment runs out and they become completely white. A 'white' horse could have any number of genes that cause it. The gene that causes grey is called grey
Gotta love all the experts who’ve probably never seen an Andalusian in their life. Keep doing what your doing. He is stunning and your trainer and you ride him beautifully. Andalusians have a natural head carriage and will never have the long relaxed rein that a thoroughbred or qh have. He is still a baby and will mature into a magnificent boy.
Trainer is an amazing rider. Light hands and still legs. Perfect combination
Don’t your love the ride of this breed, Andalusians stallions are quite calm & sweet. It’s like riding a rocking horse, 🐎🐎😍 They have the best temperaments, Really loving horses, my Favorite breed, I imported a Stallion grey from Jerez 🇪🇸 Spain, one of the Best horses I ever owned, You look great 👍 on him, Enjoy Congratulations Matt
Would this horse perhaps be better for dressage because it has a lively gait?
What’s the breed!?
@@h495 Andalusian
Did you buy the horse from a place called the cartura
Justine Dream team they also call the PRE 🐎 horses Pure Raza Horse, ( Andalusians ) they are not Registered in Spain, only in America, but the Spanish keep Stallion records from way back and keep there line authentic & pure, yes they are beautiful in Dressage, look at Olympic s online you’ll see many performances by Spain 🇪🇸 and others that are Just breathtaking, there movement is so animated. Gorgeous horses, The Carthusian farm is in Area of Jerez, and The Royal Andalusian School, they give beautiful shows with Andalusians.
I think he really improved and walks a lot better! He uses his body in a right way!
The trainer seemed so patient and calm. He’s in good hands👍🏾
I watch your videos again and again, and am so excited about Emporio's progress! He is a magnificent example of his breed. Emporio is so lucky to have you, Matt! You do him justice!
Emporio is insanely gorgeous, I love how uphill his canter is! He's gonna be crazy amazing when he's matured and trained
Hey Matt! This video was awesome as usual, and I’m so happy with how well Emporio is doing!♥️♥️♥️
What a heartbreakingly beautiful horse. I love watching him move, and I'm so happy he's with someone who is so patient and kind with his animals. He's already such a stunner, I can't wait to see him once he's farther along. Best wishes to you both!
Hi face, listening so attentively!
Daddy, did I do okay?
Such a kind face too.
Can't wait to see how he progress.
HE'S BEAUTIFUL!! I'm so jealous I've always wanted a horse of my own. I want a jumper. I think horses are so magical. I LOVE HIM!! I am so glad you make these videos.
My goodness! I just can't! His so gorgeous! 😍 I could watch him all day!
For one month of training, this was amazing. The guys there really took care of Emporio and it was clear that they know what they are doing and the right way to treat the horses 😊
I'm serious when I say I think that's the most beautiful horse I've ever seen. So excited for you, Matt! You two will make an incredible team.
Why is no one talking about how clean and beautiful that stable is!?
I really like how you opted out of the sit down where you explain everything that's happening. I think your videos tend to drag when you tell us everything that's going to happen and then we watch it. Great video, beautiful horse, you two make a great pair!!
Watching this horse brings happy tears to my eyes! The best part is knowing he is in the hands of someone like Matt who will care for him and bring out the beauty and potential in him. Congratulations!
Ok. This horse is pure gorgeousness. I can't get over his coloring and how big he is.
“Really sounds like he’s swallowed in like a horn” Jesse is such a mood
Oh god he is gorgeous!! 😍 (you are too of course 😅)
lol agree
hahahah :D
I will take the horse. Just the horse
This horse is so spectacular!...just the color of him is amazing. He has a very large step it's so beautiful just to see him move.
He is absolutely breath taking !! One can see how much you care for your horses I truly appreciate that I wish more people were compassionate owners out there at the end of the day they just want to please you , my heart breaks for the ones that don't get love
Emporio has such amazing gaits! You’re so lucky to have him, and I’m positive that he will bring you even more success!! He is magnificent and incredibly talented, wishing the best of luck!! Xx
Beautiful second day ride... don’t listen to negative comments... your boy is going to mature to be amazing, you both will be beautiful together.
Enjoy your journey. 💝
He is outstanding. I love his conformation. I know nothing about jumping,dressage but he has a beautiful body and head. Seems for a 4year old he has a sound calm mind. It is nice that you will give him the time he needs to become the horse he is meant to be.
Der Hals von dem Pferd! Und wie es sich bewegt - toll! Ganz entspannt und es schnaubt ab! So soll es sein! Ein wirklich schöner Schimmel mit einem schönen Kopf. Die Spiegelwand am Reitplatz ist super, da kann man sich auch selber sehen und korrigieren!
Emporio is so gorgeous😍 he’s such a lucky horse to have you as an owner!!
Honestly was refreshing and refreshing and refreshing. Emporio is gorgous and so were the puppies lol😂. Great as always, cant wait for next vid💕💕💕💕💕
He looks so incredible and the way he carries himself is so nice! He still has growing to do but is clearly on the right path!! You are both so perfect together:)
Love from New Zealand ❤️
I own a P.R.E. and she is just the best! The Breed is full of power but calm at the same time and they are so comfortable. Wish all the best for you. And love your horses.
That horse is absolutely stunning 😍
Amazing body structure in this horse,I love his neck
And he is balanced
Wow 😍 he looks like a fairytale horse 😍 the work that’s been done with him is fantastic I couldn’t stop looking at his little knees ☺️gorgeous 🤩
Great trainer and Emporio doing really well and trying hard to please. ❤
He is so gorgeous
This is what we’ve been waiting for 😍 well done Matt and Emporio! I can’t wait to watch you go far! ❤️
He takes such care of his horse ❤️ I hope he will do more vidéos 😄😄😄
I adore how much you understand that this "flashy" looking horse is not at all at the point you would say he is great. You understand he needs a lot more strength from the back and he needs to work into his neck. He has HUGE potential and you are a lucky rider! My 17yo mix irish bred came to me emaciated and his go to move was to tuck in and come behind the vertical which looked "impressive" but i hated it and really worked more on going out and low. I can't share pics here but i wish i could..the difference in him is wow. Can't wait to see this boy when he is fully mature and muscled up and trained RIGHT. That trainer has a really good head too, he has his priorities in the right place. Need a lot more trainers and riders like you guys.
He looks good. He's standing well and carrying himself much better. I love his sweet face.
Lovely horse! All I can say is his neck is so THICK! It's as thick as my percherons! You look good riding him too!
Oh my god. This horse is SO STUNNING I'M DYING
This horse has SO much self carriage in the canter already, what a nicely balanced horse he is, and what a nicely balanced rider Matt is. I love your style, it looks light and comfortable for the horse.
The long search for him was worth it hes stunning...loving you all from 🇺🇸
He is absolutely stunning! Love him to pieces! 🙂👍🏼💕🥰 great choice on horse and trainer! Looks like you two are going to be a great pair! And I enjoy watching your videos too! Great inspiration! 🙂👍🏼
Dude ... your other horses are nice and everything. They really are. But this is a serious horse - you have found yourself a diamond. Good for you. So excited for you!
The fact that this horse is a stallion amazes me,he is such a gentleman and so laid back. He was a GREAT purchase and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this amazing horse.
Trying to watch in order, love this horses disposition! Even when he's unsure of what your doing, he's being rational
Oh my god he's literally gorgeous that's my favorite horse color and his movement is just insane wow 😍😍😍

You shouldn't though Matt. He is gorgeous and is doing so well. Love you xxx

Emporio is a Boy. Not a girl?
lenke 00x hah I think the forelock is misleading 😂🐴🐴🐴
@@amiiling8259 yes Emporio is a stallion
38 likes now lol
The action in Emporio's front legs - WOW!! He is a very classy guy and he looks wonderful after a month training.
Looking back now just for fun and it’s amazing how small (relatively speaking) and dark he looks here compared to how far he’s come!
Yaaassss , the video we’ve all been waiting for x
my personal opinion he looks sooo much better with his main natural and hanging down then braided and put up. like one of the things these horses are known for is their long gorgeous flowing manes, tails, and fore locks. (by no means am i giving any hate of any kind or telling him what to do i'm simply stating my opinion)
It’s easier to work with when it’s braided, both for the rider and the horse.
What a gorgeous horse oh my goodness, the way he moves is amazing, can't wait to see him progress!
This horse has amazing movement and so much elegance, a true lusitanian and ridden with such delicacy. Can’t wait for you two to get better and better !
Tienes un magnífico caballo, espero que lo disfrutes mucho y no es por ser Española pero tienen un paso y una Constitución hermosa.
Saludos desde España 🇪🇸
I want to ride him so badly he is in a good shape and omg his gallop I love it, good job
Emporio takes my breath away!....just exquisite horse with a lot of potential!
To ride like that, at that age..... that horse is going to be a BEAST in a couple years. I am super jealous!
You Two are such a good team!!❤️♥️♥️
“Hello puppies”
“Puppies? Oh my god they’re huge”😂
And so the old couple continues 😂
Can anyone really be as nice as Matt and Jesse seem to be? I just love them as human beings.
He's such a beautiful young horse that is already showing so much potential. His character seems lovely, quiet and sensible (as far as I can tell from just a short video of course). I'm sure he'll grow into his body and mature into a wonderful horse over the coming years!
They look like a dreamteam😍
This place is insane!!!! 😍😍😍
love going back and seeing the first months with Emperio......
Beautiful Video!!!!!
I Love how much you Love your horse & take such good care of him!!!!!
Beautiful horse & beautiful owner!!!!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Such a Sweet Horse!!!!
I literally went to bed at 1AM and set an alarm just for this!
Wow.
Those dogs are adorable!😂😂
Emporio Is absolutely gorgeous! He's moving nicely, filling out and seems calm and steady. I can hardly wait to see what you two do together.
I' m late to watching your search for this horse but he is amazing. I was so disapointed in the movement of the first horses you were shown, none of them had the big round movement I expected from a truly baroque PRE horse, and this boy with only a month more of training is fabulous and everything I would expect! He is truly lovely!
