Matt: wears a black shirt to clip a grey horse.... xD
Matt - "he's a bit dirty"
Me - How on earth do you keep him so clean!!!!!
Hebe Willis Eventing exactly
Matt: "Why did I do this?... That was a terrible idea."
Jesse: just laughing 😂😂
The name you’re looking for, for that that kind of tool, is undercoat stripper. It’s commonly used with dogs to pull out loose hair, or as kind of a cheat method to achieve a hand stripped look on Terriers. Each blade is curved, and only sharp on the inside, with the spacing determining how much coat comes out. It looks as if you’ve got a 10 blade there, which would be medium/coarse or an 8-blade (Coarse). One popular brand is Mars Coat King.
Oh thank you so much for that info !
Have you ever used these on a terrier? would you recommend it ?
We have a cheeky border terrier and they need stripping twice a year haha
They call it a mane rake when marketing it for horses 😊
@sheltiesong I thought it looked like a Coat King, but wasn't sure as we use the 20 blade one lol
I used the Mars brand on my fluffy Shiloh Shepherd. Works like a charm to get the undercoat out. ;) Never thought of trying it on a horse. *lol Doesn't anybody pull mane anymore ?
Thekla M well my neighbor uses them on her rescue terrier and it doesn’t mind at all
Matt please stop being so hard on yourself, you are trying to help him because you love him and care about his health. Being he is such a large horse it might be a good idea to have 2 pair in case the one starts to get warm. Evidently they didn't explain how they clipped him and you were just learning with him. He looks fine, and I'm sure you'll figure out the mane. He is such a beautiful horse.
Just stop getting so worked up, I know you're a perfectionist but once in a while we have to say itd om
Yeah, he was doing it in Sureno's best interest
I just love how at the end of the video Sureno is just standing there proudly posing for the camera and swishing his tail happily. ❤️❤️❤️
"What are you writing on his back?"
" _Nothing_ . *Rude.* " XD
His hair is so short, I wouldn’t have bothered clipping him, but I think you learned that about 1/4 way through. 😂 He’s beautiful!
Matt and Jesse's horses are fortunate to be well cared for and loved so much. I do not understand when and why mane's have been given that "bowl style" look. A natural mane can be thinned, also, and looks great. This blunt, short clipping is what I call a 'bad hair day', as a retired Cosmetologist and horse lover/owner. I just don't understand. Seriously, when and why did that begin?
easier to tame for competitions but I have to agree, I hate that bowl cut. Imagine an Icelandic horse with that! Always looks like Prince Valiant (Prinz Eisenherz) to me...
I think people stopped pulling manes because they think it causes the horse pain. I agree about the " bowl cut "
I believe it creates a mane much more easy to do show braids/rosettes.
Competition riders do it so the braids are even and the same length since it will also be judged how well the mane is braided...I absolutely hate short manes thh there‘s nothing prettier than long, natural manes 😍
agreed- the horse looks like a bit of a doofus with his hair this way. it started because matt already has another PRE, Emporio, whose mane he does maintain at length. he keeps Sureños mane short because he didn’t want the upkeep of two long manes.... although personally i would also like to see Sureño’s mane long and luscious as well :)
Wait he only has 362k subs? I swear I thought he had like millions.
Why do I now want a Brad Mondo × Matt collaboration video? I want to see that hair stylist clip a horse.
I mean they're on opposite sides of the world
@@zoehartsock4820 please don't ruin my fantasy please.😐🤣
OMG I was literally thinking the same thing! 😂
Boy you weren't kidding when you said he's super chill. Your horse is making that look easy. I was glad to see that you checked the blade for hotness, there are cooling sprays you can get that help. I use Cool Lube when I clip my dogs.
Please let his mane grow, it would look amazing and he would look more Spanish 🤩
Dog groomers have extra blades on hand, so they can swap them out when they get hot.
I am a dog and cat groomer and a horse owner. Look up "Mars Coat King" you want the triple size and I would buy the kind that has the widest space between the curved blades. Once you do a little research you will understand what I am talking about. You may also look into a Slick Easy if you don't already have one. For his head I would switch to a Whal clipper that takes a 5-in-1 cliper blade. You will be shocked at how quite they are. Also look into Best Shot Shampoo and Conditioner (any of their products are awesome for thick coats) Both horse and dog show people use it when they are trying to deshed or comb out the undercoat. If he has sensitive skin I would also mix in Eqyss Microtek shampoo when shampooing or give him a good spray with their leaving in spray after. I have been a groomer of dog for 15 years and I have not found anything I like better than these products!!!
Soreno is absolutely a gorgeous horse and so patient
He is such a SWEET horse....and both you and Jesse are wonderful with your horses!
He looks great, so handsome and strong! Thank you for the tips on trimming the mane. I needed some guidance because my horse despises the process. When I clip, I use two clippers, so that one can cool while I continue clipping. I also use new blades each time. I know it sounds excessive, but it really cuts down on the frustration factor. I also probably don’t have to clip nearly as often as y’all.
Love how well you care for your horses!
I love your new haircut. He is one, big beautiful horse. But Chase is my baby. Don't despair. He looks fine.
Great vlog Matt, in a world where people can be anything we should always choose to be kind.
If the haters don’t like content then they can simply scroll on.
I enjoy all of your videos 😊
Sir is always so beautiful. How woundful it is to have him. Thanks for the video. Always loving you guys.
Who wants Matt to do a reading comments video
Me!!!!!
Yes
its so clear matt loves this horses, also emporio is so used to the pampering u can tell at the end he was showing off knowing he looks handsome
I remember having to clip my horse and he would spook at the sound. So after a lot of gentle talking and treats he was like “Ehhh not spooked anymore. Make sure you curry comb my muscles after!” 😂
I wish his mane could be long and luscious 😭
ME TOOOOO
Use a small clipper with a#10 blade with his head. Sometimes stuffing something soft in the ears helps. Good luck,in 3 days it won’t be so bad. Oil,clipper spray a big can of diesel to dip the clippers and a bunch of old towels.After his bath spray him all over with show sheen. Don’t know what it’s called over there but it makes an incredible difference in how easy it is to do the clipping. Also for your own comfort especially when the coat is a bit longer a pair of overalls buttoned up to the top with rubber bands around your wrists Will make life a lot more comfortable.
then you must be able to get there everyday and help Matt look after it in that case?
Angela Hamond-Fenton yes of course
@@Avocadomushroom I think horses should be allowed to have their manes and tails completely natural. Also I do not like people cutting the tails off. It's stupid and the people who do it are just lazy. And don't want to braid the tail.
Also the poor horse can't swish the flies away. That goes for dogs as well. The poor animal goes through great pain. All thoes practices of cutting parts off animals tails, ears ,and claws. They are cruel. And it causes great pain.
I love it when horses get fluffy but I understand when they need to be clipped
He didn’t need to though. No horse needs to be clipped
Isn’t that odd how people can be so different? I don’t like a horse unclipped. I don’t like them with beards under there jaws, untrimmed feet or shaggy coats. I reckon I’m just the opposite. Good thing we’re all different, eh?9
@@changedmaname4634 I'm guessing you don't understand why people clip horses. I'm also guessing you're not willing to learn.
i clip because in winter when we ride they get super sweaty because of the long coat - because it’s so cold / rainy they don’t get dry and can be super cold so we clip so they won’t sweat and get cold and we put on blankets to keep them warm
Changedma Name not entirely true. Yea I think he clipped a little too early in the season, but when it is colder and he works hard and starts to sweat w/ a long coat that means after he is done working and his long hair is wet he can get chilled b/c it takes longer to dry. Just like how in humans for example; say you drench your clothes in water and then stand out in the cold wind. You are going to be colder for longer as your clothes stay wet even if your skin dries. I hope that make sense :)
Ok watched the rest of the video he turned out beautiful like I knew be would. You just need to believe in yourself more young man. Thank you so much for sharing this experience loved it. Hopefully all will continue to go good for Sereno , please give him a big hug for me. Take care and best always Rusty in OK
Sureño is such a good boy. Lol. His first clip and he did great.
wait ... Matt owns a *huge* stallion 😯
no way😯😯
The comb is called a solo rake...i have one in the UK they are £20...they are great......You should put oil on the clippers now and again to keep them cool...and I think you are getting lines because your blades need sharpening lol👍😉
I clipped my mare with those cheap small dog clippers because they are quiet and she is terrified of the big loud clippers xx
I don't think I've ever seen a cleaner horse, before a makeover. I'm loving Matt's curly hair too x
Love the thought of Matt buying the blue hairclip and the people in the shop thinking "aww how nice he buys a hair clip for his GF" when the reality is that its a pretty hair clip for his Horses hahaha
Also- LOVED the Hair tips in this! 20 years of owning Horses and competing and I actually never thought of doing it this way.
Have to get my hands on that hair thinner thing ( i do have hair thinning scissors though) !
Thank you so much for the advice Matt!! :)
Body clippers get hot. There’s a spray called Kool-Lube that you spray onto the blades to cool them. Also blade wash to dip running clippers in to keep from getting jammed up with hair. When they get too hot they stop cutting.
The worst part of being early...theres no comments to go through
Very true
That 1st comb/brush is a coat king. Its used on double coated dogs but handy for thinning out manes.
Matt did a good job there, especially the mane. There are always lines for a couple of days on the body with clipping but they go in a couple of days as you said. So looking forward to seeing Sureno in work again . He has an amazing action in trot. I think he is going to really have natural extension like Equador.
@@judithryle2113 You may know what you are talking about , I don't.
Omg Matt really needs a new intro with Sureno in it 😍🤔
Grey horses look stunning, but yes it is a fact they are prone to a few coat issues with it being more suceptible & sensitive, especially when they loose their summer coats & gain a winter coat & vice versa. V informative x
Why not let his hair grow out and be long and beautiful! Never understand the short hair....he's would be beautiful 😍
Blue Rock Horsemanship agree 100%
@@elsestelema6273 right lol
@@elsestelema6273 I agree with you too. I always left my horses' lanes and tails long and natural. Some breeds are supposed to have long manes and tails.
G’day Matt Jesse & Co ;-) Re injury swelling I use a roll on anti-inflammatory product called DOMOSO.
It truly does work reducing swellings calcifications on new and old injuries.
I tried it on myself to find out the reaction, it was itching not burning, Hence horse stamping! Lol..
With many source blessings with truth love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia xoxo
I've never clipped a horse. Half of my horses don't even have bridle paths. Then again I'm riding barrel/ranch horses. They don't get blankets (not like they need them, they'll stand outside in 0 F in the middle of a snowstorm and not use their shed). They get super fuzzy.
Abbi Holz Yeah, me neither. My horses need their winter sweater because they live outside. They can go to the barn if they want, but they don’t do it unless the weather is really bad.
Sureño and Sereno are different things, but I feel like Sereno (It means calm... like composed or self controled...) suits him xDD
Yess Sereno suits him a lot, and it's in spanish so😍😍
One has to appreciate how much Matt and Jesse love their animals. Matt seems more intense because he cares so deeply and tends to be a perfectionist, which is a very good thing. Jesse expresses his affection by kissing, hugging, ect. Their heartfelt concern for their animals makes them both exceptional caregivers.
Sureno is such a gorgeous boy! I have to say as someone who owns and shows British natives, seeing the method of how you do Surenos mane shocks me 🤣 I’m so used to just pulling the ends of the manes with my fingertips as the only trimming I do!
But Sureno looks gorgeous and it definitely suits him!
You need clipper cooler spray & always start from the shoulder for your safety
Matt always says Sureno so dirty but I just want him to see my gray PRE and see what dirty REALLY is.
the way to avoid some of those lines and jagged edges is to do one long continuous line from the tail - back - ears without stopping or pulling the clippers away from the skin. then start again halfway covering your first line, from the tail- back-ears and so on so fourth so that you are always overlapping 1/2 of your previous cut, and there wont be any change in direction so the clipper blades will just run smooth from head to tail. when you start getting into the flank area, run the clippers opposite of the hairline, but still in one long line. the less times you lift the blades off the skin, the less jagged the end result will be. - ex dog groomer here/ current horse groom
*matt saying that his mane is too thick and he’s going to cut it shorter
*me, noooooooooooo don’t do that its beautiful, most people would dream for their horses mane to be that thick
😂😂
Same thought. Mine first reactie Stay off his manes thay are Beautiful en almost on good lengt. Short manes gives hij een strenge neck (sorry voor bad English)
Jolanda Van Lieshout haha i know right. Your English is great
I know Han Equestrian has the SoloGrooom Solorake (the Hair thinner and rake brush) because she did use it in a video with Princess Peach and maybe Fletch as well. When it is safe to travel I would love to see a Video with Han and you with each of your horses. I hope everyone is staying safe during these times.
Ur supposed to oil them so they don't overheat
Kool lube
Your horses are so well cared for. I thought fungal and other skin issues were mainly for horses that are naturally more hairy, like gypsy vanners, Friesians, and any drafty type horse with thick feathering.
What a sweet stallion. Not making a fuss. How lovely that Jesse is such a horseman, too.
Emporio does not like to feel ignored. 😂
That is an extraordinary creature. Matt, I have to admit something. I love every aspect of what you share of your existence. You, Jesse, Steve, all of the animals, and your home and garden. There is one exception though, only one. Please forgive me. I hate that chopped off mane with a passion! I understand that the long mane is a tremendous amount of work. I understand that you are very busy. I understand that he is your horse and you can obviously do whatever you like with him. However, it's as if you are Delilah stealing Sampson's strength and spirit away when you keep that mane so short, instead of that magnificent long flowing mane he once had. I know you are probably sick to death of unsolicited critiques. I think this is the only slightly negative one I've ever left. I might have said something when you first chopped it off. I don't remember. I know I was thinking it, but this time I just had to say it. Lol I feel better now. 😉 I sincerely hope you aren't offended.
Sureno is so chill! Thats amazing! He looks soo good!!
anyone else absolutely in LOVE with matts curly hair?!😍😍
To help get rid of the lines try stretching the skin when you clip
Buy a can of cool lube spray to keep your clippers cooler You can find on Amazon or any farm store . We clip dairy cattle with the same clippers they are our favorite ones! 🤞🏻 We use that hair pulling thing on dogs that shed I would use thinning shears for the mane get the one that are called chunkers
Hi Matt, I’m hoping you received my email on Rood n Riddles equine spray Purishield developed by their Veterinarians specifically for numerous equine ailments. Rood n Riddle is worldwide known n a top USA equine clinic. One of the listed ailments includes mud fever. Please look into it. It’s a must to include in you tack box.
I feel like Sureno knows when he's on camera haha
Don't down yourself Matt. You will get it looking great
It’s always a great video when Jesse shows up for a couple of comments and Matt retorts
omg this video is cracking me up. usually you're so chipper and I am just feeling this "so over it" mood.
Sureno has a beautiful temperament, gorgeous horse!💖
You should not be clipping a horse at this time of the year. The coat needs to come through and be established before you clip.
Do you know their climate ? And he may have a health problem
you gotta spray the blades with cool blade - it cleans and cools the metal down so you dont have to wait so long, you just dip/spray and wipe every minute or so
I haven’t seen him in awhile I have been very busy but it is supper crazy how his color has changed
No one:
No one:
Me: ...I just realized that Jesse is older than Matt...
I also LOVE Matt's curly hair!! It looks great, Matt!
I always thought so too. Exactly how old is Jesse? He is so adorable!
@@peggypapczun2906 I know right!! He looks (and acts) like a little kid! Jesse's 24 and Matt's 23.
@@katielogan2788 Thanks for the info, Katie! Jesse looks and acts like an adorable kid--with wonderful wit, intelligence and true compassion for animals. Wish I were 24 again! Both Jesse and Matt will never grow old!
@@peggypapczun2906 Yeah. The way they train and practice is very admirable! I wish I lived in the Netherlands!! lol
Wonderful job, Matt... BRAVO!!!
Aww Sureno 💙 he is so handsome
OMG the first view of him at 1:33 is gorgeous!!! He looks wonderful. Matt at 6:03 why did you say terrible idea? He looks great and it will make it easier to cool him out and keep him clean. Was a bit uptight by his head. My guys are like that too, but are getting better and better from me just working on that every day. They seem to slowly chill over time. The lines will disappear, no worries.
You need some clipper spray to help your clippers run cool!! GET SOME, A NECESSITY!
7:51 BEAUTIFUL! Don't sweat it. Looks awesome!!! IF you don't finish today, no worries, finish when you get back from your trip. Maybe good let him chill and then more practice for him.
Here's when to use clipper coolant and clipper oil:
Use clipper coolant regularly as you clip. Check every 10 minutes or so. If your clipper blades need cooling or are gooped up with hair, the spray of the coolant can clean things up for you and cool things off.
Use clipper oil before you start clipping. Reapply every 5-10 minutes as you are clipping. Definitely clean, dry, and oil your clippers before you store them. For more on cleaning and storing, read this! There’s also a handy cleaning and storing video below.

Always used to clip the horses and just keep them adequately blanketed in winter. It was a great idea! Yo will be glad you did this.
15:04 I got one of those tools at Tractor Supply Co in the cat section for grooming my cat. Works great getting the undercoat out. Never thought of that for the mane. Easier on the horse than pulling with a pulling comb. Neat trick! Awesome tip!!
I don't think you went too short. Love it!! Much, much better. 😊
19:27 would be a great pic to frame. He looks absolutely magnificent. Nice shot of you both. I knew you would be happy you clipped him. Maybe some cold hosing would take the swelling down? Thanks for the leg update. Progressing nicely. You make a nice pair. Hope Emporio doing well also.
soooo i just got finished with your guy's african horse safari videos (again) lol. it was just dead cool...do you think you'll do something like that again? anyway you guys are so awesome, can't wait for the next video!! :D
Really enjoyed the update on Sureno and showing the process with helpful tips! ;) ♡♡
Clippers always over heat, but if you can get a guard on the clipper it helps. Another way is to put ice on the blade to cool it off.
The best way to deal with thick lanes is to PULL it. When done right the horse won't feel it and you get a thinner mane tha5 will lay flat. And be easier to braid if you want to.
Gotta change the blades and also loosen the tension to keep them cooler longer haha
Hot blades, just use clipping oil or lubricant spray. Liveryman has great stuff. Lines are either from blunt blades or pressing to hard. Let the clipper do its job and just glide. Super time consuming job, but he looks super handsome
Matt: Your clipper blades need to be sharpened if it is leaving streaks. New clipper blades and oil on the blades to keep them well lubricated also helps. They make a spray clipper oil that cools the clipper blades. You might look for this too. All that hair in your clothes when you are clipping is not fun.
Try dog trimmers on his head they are alot more quiet
Sureno is so huge!! But so stunning 🤩
He looks beautiful, you did such a great job!
So cute!
Matt you love your horses so much you can tell you do
Is it just me, or does Matt resemble Noah Centineo?
Dayum matt is _jacked_
Who thinks Matt made an excuse to do an OCD "tidy up" process that he so loves on everything in his life?...LOL gardens, stalls, grass, horses etc... It sucks when there are lines, Sureno shys his head, ah it sucks to have OCD.
Matt have severe OCD and anxiety, that´s why he does all that.
Mars Coat King rake - used a lot when trimming dogs - there are different sizes
Is there a reason you clipped Sureno's mane instead of keeping it longer but Didn't do this with Emporio's mane? Is it because of his skin or did you just prefer the shorter mane.
OMG!! Matts hair!!! It looks good!!
Skin issues are very often linked to an unbalanced digestive system. I'm sure you're doing everything for him and to have his diet perfected but is he getting any probiotics? For example a product called VITAL Probihorse has helped A LOT of horses with similar skin issues.
Whyyy a 'bowl cut' it looks so unnatural and choppy? I don't understand the appeal. In the UK we have a thing called a 'solo comb' which can be used just like a pulling comb but cuts the hair rather than pulling it, but gives the pulled neat look
if it helps; use longer strokes to reduce the clipper lines.. :)
What happened to his mane?! sad face.
The curly hair is my new fav look on him
Work from the top down and try to use long sweeping motions. He's impatient because you're taking longer than he's used to, you'll get faster with practice.
Ugh I just cringe when I see a cut mane- it looks really strange to me, needs to be razor cut so it’s not as blunt if you’re going to cut it at all....
Oh no, the mane - still traumatized from the very first time! 🤣😅🤭 The fast forward voice is everything 😉
It makes me so mad how he thins out and clips his mane. The long and think mane is is known for this breed. If u can't handle it or don't like it just don't get a horse like that. No hate it's just my opinion
I LOVE SURENO He is my Favorite. What a stud muffin he is. Stunning beautiful stallion.
