Thank you for this video. I liked to start my children riders in vaulting to compliment the jumping lessons. It builds a higher level of confidence & strength...yes it can be very challenging 😊 especially for adults. Such a lovely horse. Most unflexible...but you two redeemed yourselves with the squats. Excellent squats. 😂 I see you two getting a mechanical horse in the future
@@norabrulandingebrigtsen9755I’m a vaulter so thought I could chip in. Generally, no they do not. A vaulting horse needs to be very active and have a big variety in their training/what they do. They need to be kind of all round being ridden correctly in both dressage, jumping, some trail riding and possibly other things as well. They need an all round training to keep healthy while doing vaulting as well. We also take a lot of time to build them from the ground up when it comes to vaulting as it’s so different from what they’re used to do before/from what we usually ask of the horse. It takes time to build a happy sustainable vaulting horse. Everything between six months to three years. This is why it’s very rare that they get back issues from vaulting itself, they mostly either already had it or acquired it some other way. But we do need to be careful with how we position our feet, how we land in jumps, where our weight goes and weight distribution on the parts of our body that comes in contact with the horse. And sometimes some horses won’t accept certain elements/movements - and we as vaulters need to respect that as well. Hope this answered your question❤️
@@norabrulandingebrigtsen9755 what @isa.cecilia said!! vaulting often gets a reputation as a sport that’s “bad” for the horse which is pretty unfair and mostly stems from ignorance and misinformation, so i’m happy you asked! i think another important point is that in vaulting, the weight of the vaulter(s) is more distributed on the horse whereas with normal horse riding, the person is always in one place, so actually vaulting is quite good in that sense. and during training, we also switch the side after every round (so 10-15mins) so the horse isn’t always going on the same side and all muscles are trained, it’s just during competitions where they’re only lunged on the left side, which is a common misconception
It was cool to see Jesse acknowledge the horse both when he got on with a stroke of the mane to say hi my friend and when he got off with a pat on the neck as if to say thank you for letting me do that. I bet with some practice to gain confidence he could do this no problem.
Vaulting looks very hard which means it is,lol. Watching the experts perform with ease, you know it took years of practice, such coordination. Matt and Jesse, great job for beginners, so impressed you were willing to give it a go. Really fun to watch, thank you for taking us along Matt and Jesse.
I love how you say "it's harder than it looks" - because it looks *pretty damn impossible hard* already, lol. Amazing athleticism and training of the human-horse team, and the bond they all have. That part alone is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
"Give me a leg up" takes on a whole new meaning. I laughed until I cried! You two sweet boys are such good sports to humble yourselves so. My sides ache!
Amazing. I had not known about this sport. Sam looked incredible during his routine. I thought I detected some ballet background in his warmup, and he definitely displayed an incredible amount of strength and gracefulness on that horse. Just wow! Really impressive
I love vaulting. Did it myself as child and teenager and still miss it till this day. It's actually the only international horse sport that I follow with passion. It's just stunning what all those vaulters are able to express on the horseback and how they really show their love towards their horsey-partner even in the international competitions. I will always remember the french world champion Lambert Leclezio who ran straight to his horse after landing to shower him in kisses and hugs before leaving the competition circle. Beautiful pictures that I wish would be more common in the international horse sport alltogether.
I loved the video especially in the very early part, when the' lounger ' was holding the horse and kind of communicating with it a little bit rather than ignoring it, I thought that was a very sweet moment. Really liked when the vaulters just sat on the cantering horse and how quiet they sat. Would like to have seen more of that .I too, especially liked the stretching part. Overall, nice video, watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it
Astonishing. Absolutely astonishing. I've never seen this sort of interaction between human and horse. Sam and Elise are remarkable athletes and for two guys who were trying the barrel exercises for the first time...pretty darned impressive. The, attempting on horseback, Bravo! Jesse looked so tall compared with the two young vaulters; compared with Matt who normally towers over him and makes him look so slight. I cannot believe how much I've been enjoying your videos...can you say addicted?
A relative of mine offers vaulting lessons at her barn in South Carolina. When i was down there over 10 years ago, her vaulting horse was a 18 hand Belgian draft horse. She had me participate in a lesson with a couple of her kids on lesson day and from what I remember, it was kinda fun. I wish I still had that type of fearlessness now but my body has long since abandoned that type of mindset.
Um excuse me, that young man was a WORLD CHAMPION at 15?? I’m so impressed!! Applause to him and the whole team, and also to you and Matt for giving this a try! Be honest, is this why you were sore in your aquatrainer video?
Ahhhh … to be young and flexible again! You were both very brave … it makes one realize even though one may think they’re in shape for what one normally does … one finds out just how much one is still very much out of shape in many respects, when trying new activities. Strong core muscles are so necessary when riding … which I will admit I lack! I doubt I would have even been able to get up on the barrel itself, let alone what you two were able to accomplish! That was very interesting. Thanks for letting us tag along! 🐎🐴
Those vaulting horses must be so well trained. A nice even rhythm must be essential and nerves of steel. Please introduce us to the wonderful horses in this video.
No way! Both of you are brave to try these stunts on a real horse after only one lesson. I enjoyed watching your guests show us their talents...I have never heard of such a thing before. Very suspenseful and a big relief that everyone did these stunts without incident. Great video.
Vaulting may look easy, but it's a difficult and demanding sport. Vaulters have to be very flexible, have perfect balance and do a lot of training. Well done and thank you to this talented and friendly team and to their lovely steady horse 👏👏 Special congratulations to Sam, still very young and already at the TOP! 🥇🙌✨✨ Well done to both of you too. You took part in the training with courage and you did very well 👏🙌 Thank you for sharing and for the ever-present humour in your videos. It's a pleasure to watch them 💙
How incredible was that? Ballet on the horse as well as ballet with the horse. Very impressive, Team NL! Absolutely lovely !o watch. Sam is an outstanding young athlete! Wish him the best for the uppcoming competitions. Matte and Jesse, thank you for spreding so much love about your horspassion. Maybe it is time to get back into the saddle again even for me... Anyway, my greatest respect from me to all of you!
Thank you for the wonderful video Jesse. Anything with you and Matt make my day. Really appreciate the upload and excited to be with you through this journey with horses. Thankful for sharing them with us. Much love, take care.
I love how you dare to release videos of things you do for the first time and obviously don’t master yet. And when they’re all stretching and putting their bodies forward and Jesse and Matt are still sitting straight up unable to get forward, that is cracking me up, so funny. 😂 Great video guys 👏🏻
They both did really well and I’m impressed with Jesse doing this with a broken wrist. Matt is so tall that I’m sure it made some parts easier, but other parts harder. I tried vaulting with my big lady once. We did a move called Starfish and it was super fun.
Before I was allowed to start "proper" riding lessons, it was mandatory in my riding school to do at least 10 units of vaulting. This worked wonders, got you fit and worked wonders for your ground seat. I did not like that at all, but it gave you an excellent headstart. You two did better at your first attempt than I ever got. Kudos to you!
Matt and Jesse, you both did really well. The people doing the vaulting were so talented and did a really good job of explaining and demonstrating their craft. I have a lot of respect for them. Very entertaining to watch😮😊
I watched this video about a month ago. I got such a kick out of watching this. I give Jesse and Matt a lot of credit for giving it a go. Great first try! 👏🐎🤸
Hello Matt and Jesse, all and all I thonk you both did very well🎉. Now you know your weaknesses you can stretch before you ride ! JO JO IN VT 🇺🇸💞 Your Trainers were very nice😊.
This was fun to watch! I did some basic vaulting as a kid and teenager at the Summer Camp I went to every year for two months. We had a practice barrel, but not a fancy moving one! 😂 it was just a padded barrel with the surcingle handles to learn how to mount and to practice the exercises on before doing them on the horse. We always had a large draft horse as a vaulting horse, and we were supposed to mount from the trot (it seems that it would be a LOT easier to do at the canter, as that is a more naturally swinging gait). I never did master vaulting on to the horse without assistance. But once I was up, I was able to do the free sit, the flag, the around the world (I forget what you called it in the video, but it’s where you turn yourself 360 degrees around the horse and end up facing forward again), all at the trot. I was also good at a move they called the “candlestick”; basically, you scoot your butt up to the handles on the surcingles and lie down on the horses back with your legs pointed straight up into the air. Your hands remained on the handles, but it felt very strange to be lying down on a trotting horse while keeping my legs perfectly straight and still while pointing up at a 90 degree angle from my body! I was never brave enough to attempt standing while the horse was moving, and we never learned how to do headstands or handstands at all, nor any flips off of the horse (which I have seen in competition, and been amazed by!). We also never did anything with two people on at the same time. It was very basic vaulting, but it was a lot of fun. I wish I had been able to continue doing it the rest of the year, but never heard of any vaulting training facilities. So the other ten months of the year I just rode hunter/jumpers. It would be fun to try some basic stuff again, but at 46 I would not want to do anything TOO crazy…. I don’t bounce like I used to! 😂 You guys did very well for the first time, and were both braver about standing up on a moving horse than I ever was! Good job!
In USA vaulting's seen at circus, rodeo shows. Equestrian, western, standard. Prefer western saddle-up and go! Scared to vault jump over stuff. Horses spooked before jumps, riders who blame them, upsets me. Never horse's fault! Equestrian, horse races, portuguese bull fights, unnatural. Some horses flexible enjoy it most don't. People like you, Matt, who express love, respect, kindness, for horses make me happy! Animals are God's gift blessings upon this Earth.
In your FORTIES?! WOW! Were you a gymnast in your youth? I can't see anyone just starting up in their forties, or even in their twenties! Because flexibility and reaction time start deteriorating already in the late teens if not maintained by practise. And by the 30s they deteriorate even when people DO practise in the attempt to ward off the loss of skill. I'm just asking out of curiosity, not criticism. I'm a woman in my 60s now, so I know that any woman in her forties who can even do a little bit should be so proud! Good for you! ❤🐴🐎🐴❤
What a fantastic video! So interesting to learn about the special world of vaulting, and wonderful to meet these lovely vaulting pro’s. And Jesse and Matt were great sports trying this for the first time. Well done everyone! Really enjoyed it.
That was so funny but also quite impressive. That young man was amazing! Of course I can do all of that easily and at a full gallop - but only when dreaming!
I’ve never seen training like this: it was so gentle and you all have such great skills. There are trick riders in the US rodeos that jump on and off galloping horses or that lean down to pick up things on the ground while the horse is moving. You made it look easy.
Great Video!! I started like many children with vaulting many, many years back. Both of you did amazing! It was such a joy to watch. And observing the professionals - amazing! The grace and lightness. Wow!
The first and best thing I found when riding is to learn the rhyme of the horse and teach your body to flow with it. Than I think these balancing acts would be much easier to learn and do.
This was very enjoyable to watch. You were both amazing. I love the way you are willing to try different things. That young man was also very impressive. Oh, to have that kind of flexibility!
Amazing... I honestly didn't know that this was an actual sport. I thought circus. But they made it look seamless. Thanks to all and congratulations on winning 🎉
This was such a JOY to watch! Learned so much and smiled the entire way through! Love the production, you guys put so much heart in your videos and it shows. Keep it up!
This was awesome Thank you for taking us along on this vaulting tour NExt time I would like to see you guys trying out playing polo - now that is really fun. :-)

Such a lovely horse.
Most unflexible...but you two redeemed yourselves with the squats. Excellent squats. 😂

Well, done!
And it is hard.. but big fun!
Was taught a bitof vaulting & most importantly, how to jump off and roll!!
AS A VAULTER I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A VAULTING VIDEO WITH JESSE AND MATT SINCE I STARTED WATCHING OMG
Can I ask you if the horses have a lot of back issues in this sport? I'm just wondering

Oh im so happy im 56 and do all these movements with yoga and Pilates..🤗🐎🇦🇺
This appears to be gymnastics, ballet and horsemanship all rolled into one. Wow.
It was cool to see Jesse acknowledge the horse both when he got on with a stroke of the mane to say hi my friend and when he got off with a pat on the neck as if to say thank you for letting me do that. I bet with some practice to gain confidence he could do this no problem.
OMG! Matt & Jesse doing the stretching exercises should be its own video😂Jesse kept looking over at them like, this is not going to happen😂😅🤣
The stretches took me out!!!🤣😂🤣😂
I thought I was the only one that was unflexable..I cracked up
Love the stretches, I thought I was bad and I'm 67 but even I can do them, I'm a useless rider though lol even though I have 5 horses.
You should ask how they pick out a horse for this sport. I would think this is extremely important.
I loved this video!! I would watch a whole series of “Matt and Jesse try hard horse things.” 😂
Vaulting looks very hard which means it is,lol. Watching the experts perform with ease, you know it took years of practice, such coordination. Matt and Jesse, great job for beginners, so impressed you were willing to give it a go. Really fun to watch, thank you for taking us along Matt and Jesse.

This was honestly the best video... I was totally captivated. The whole thing - topic, editing, people... I was fascinated.
"Give me a leg up" takes on a whole new meaning.
I laughed until I cried! You two sweet boys are such good sports to humble yourselves so. My sides ache!
The horse was so kind, it looked like he was being careful with you :)
There are so many innuendos in this video 😂😂😂!!! It made my day, thanks J&M!
Amazing. I had not known about this sport. Sam looked incredible during his routine. I thought I detected some ballet background in his warmup, and he definitely displayed an incredible amount of strength and gracefulness on that horse. Just wow! Really impressive

Vaulting horses are special. Just love it.
You both did very well, Jesse and Matt. The horse did a awesome job .
Thanks everyone for sharing

Yesss we did that too at my old school! So useful and helpful!
Jesse was amazing for the first time trying vaulting. 🎉
Warm up looks like fun, kudos to you for getting up and trying vaulting.
Matt and Jesse, you both did really well. The people doing the vaulting were so talented and did a really good job of explaining and demonstrating their craft. I have a lot of respect for them. Very entertaining to watch😮😊
This is great fun to watch- please do more stuff together like this!
What an amazing horse all the horses that tolerate vaulting are the most special beings.
Thank you for sharing! You both did AWESOME!! The vaulters were great,also. Love seeing you both work together!! Stay safe and well.😊😘😘😊
Yeah .... Stay **** SAFE **** 😅! Y R exactly right! Stay SAFE! ❤️🥰❤️
I watched this video about a month ago. I got such a kick out of watching this. I give Jesse and Matt a lot of credit for giving it a go. Great first try! 👏🐎🤸
I did vaulting for 14 years before I quit to have more time for dressage I absolutely love this video 😂❤
OMG, they have a mini donkey! I absolutely love them.
Hello Matt and Jesse, all and all I thonk you both did very well🎉.
Now you know your weaknesses you can stretch before you ride !
JO JO IN VT 🇺🇸💞
Your Trainers were very nice😊.
You both did really good 😊

I can see Jesse practicing on Antares. :)
i got to try vaultng for a few sessions on a huge clydesdale, i was very thankful i'd doe so much yoga previously.

SUUUUPER ! 💖💖💖😊😊😊😊 I ALWAYS WANT TRY IT ! 😀 Matt, natural talent 💖💖, Jessie 💖, jut both must try again ! ( next film please 😀🎬 )
What FUN to see you guys Vaulting. LOVING IT. I did a little Vaulting in my 40's. THANK YOU for the ride, sweet one.
In your FORTIES?! WOW! Were you a gymnast in your youth? I can't see anyone just starting up in their forties, or even in their twenties! Because flexibility and reaction time start deteriorating already in the late teens if not maintained by practise. And by the 30s they deteriorate even when people DO practise in the attempt to ward off the loss of skill.
I'm just asking out of curiosity, not criticism. I'm a woman in my 60s now, so I know that any woman in her forties who can even do a little bit should be so proud! Good for you!
❤🐴🐎🐴❤
So pleased you used the barrel first, the horse is still blown from the live demo!
Great video, knew nothing of vaulting. Greetings from Australia.
Very steady and patient horse. Very impressive Matt and Jesse!
Fergus Dublin Ireland
I enjoyed this very much Jesse! How they balance
themselves, is amazing. Well done to both of you
for trying this.
Fergus 😘
I don’t think I could even manage sitting backwards at canter 😂. So impressive and clean
I can’t imagine doing anything on a moving horse, very impressive Jesse and Matt. Those two young vaulters were amazing❤️
Loved the demonstration. You both amaze me with your willingness to do new things.
That horse must be so fit cantering for so long 😂
You know when someone is Dutch by the way they count: 1, 2, 🌳, 4, 5…..
I can say it, i do it as well😅😂
Also, the both of you did really well👍🏼
U also can identify Dutch speakers when they say ...
"we have udder tings you can see in dee areena ...".
😂❤😊. (sooo cute 🥰).
Sam has just such a nice voice! You can see it's good and easy on the horses and it's so thrustworth. 👏🏻
What a fantastic video! So interesting to learn about the special world of vaulting, and wonderful to meet these lovely vaulting pro’s. And Jesse and Matt were great sports trying this for the first time. Well done everyone! Really enjoyed it.
Thank you! It never looked easy. If one begins very, very young, growing into it would be smoother, not easy. Respect and admiration.
That was so funny but also quite impressive. That young man was amazing! Of course I can do all of that easily and at a full gallop - but only when dreaming!

WOW!! Fantastic! My favorite video!!! You two are so brave!
I used to vault and my daughter vaulted to.
It’s a fantastic sport and we loved it. I am to old now .
You should try horseball to!
The first and best thing I found when riding is to learn the rhyme of the horse and teach your body to flow with it. Than I think these balancing acts would be much easier to learn and do.
Super leuk om dit te zien! Goed gedaan!
This was very enjoyable to watch. You were both amazing. I love the way you are willing to try different things. That young man was also very impressive. Oh, to have that kind of flexibility!
What good sports you are. Thanks for sharing😊❤😊
WOW.... I could watch that young man all day....
what a surprising video. love seeing you try things new you do so well. the dutch are so so talented with their horses. your videos always remind me 💞
Amazing... I honestly didn't know that this was an actual sport. I thought circus. But they made it look seamless. Thanks to all and congratulations on winning 🎉
its in the olympic
You guys are strong!
Incredibly difficult. You guys did an amazing job for a first go! I could totally see Jesse incorporating some of this into his trick training :)
It looks harder. Kudos to those doing this sport. Thanks for this inside look. ❤
I didn't even know horse vaulting was a "thing". Very cool you both tried and did it!
This was such a JOY to watch! Learned so much and smiled the entire way through! Love the production, you guys put so much heart in your videos and it shows. Keep it up!
Incredible!! Does the horse ever get massaged/worked on therapeutically to recover from the different body movements of the rider? 💚
Sam's gymnastics experience really shows. So graceful and confident in every way.
I am loving that you two are doing videos together more !
Jesse and Matt, you did great for first timers. And you didn’t hurt that lovely patient horse.
The boy Sam is so cute!
