Sureno is so special and its so sad.. i know it was a big and hard decision for you to make. Always keeping in mind what would be best for him even though its hard on the heart. And I think he will definitely be very happy and life a good horsey life there❤️
So very kind and good of you to support and help Matt through this difficult time. I'm quite sure he recognizes your helpfulness and thoughtfulness. It must be very difficult for you as well. The most important thing is that Sureno will continue to enjoy a wonderful life! 🐎👍 Best of everything to you both, you both deserve it!!! 🌞🌛❤️
Sehr liebe Worte von Dir. Es wird etwas Zeit brauchen bis diese Traurigkeit vorbei ist. Es ist das Beste was Matt für Sureno machen konnte. Er behält sicher einen Platz in Euren Herzen❤️
Honoured, thrilled and humbled to be a part of this horses journey, and his forever home from here on out. No matter what, he is safe with me and my herd. His hoof and body (and heart) rehab will I hope be an interesting process for folks to follow along, and please expect regular Sureno updates on YT, Instagram FB and long, detailed journey shown on patreon. Thank you to Matt, his team for trusting me with this incredible horse. Thank you for your support, especially my friends and clients here in the comments who all spoke up for me.
OMG.. I’m so so so happy Cerento is very well taken care of.. Your amazing Lochey.. Love Love Love what your doing and showing things I had no idea on horses.. Thank you Lochey & Matt.. both are very gifted in many ways..
With most animals there is really no such place as a for "ever home." They say that but at the right time and right money everything can be bought and sold.
@@1jazzyphae He castrated this great horse. And then doesn't allow comments on his channel. That is all I need know about this - guy. I am hoping Matt did not know this, since he was hoping someone would use him for breeding.
Sounds like Sureno hit the jackpot... twice. First with Matt, who understood Sureno wasn't happy as a high performance horse & took the time to find the right rehoming for him. I think Sureno will be thrilled, once he settles in, with his new, more relaxed, more natural lifestyle. Spain def. needs more 'Horse Centric' Trainers. Happy for all 3 of you. Well done 👏👏👏
I officially love Lachy, what a beautiful point of view on how horses should ideally live naturally in herds, free to make their own choices. This seems like such an incredible home, free from judgement and full of love😊
The new owner's horse philosophy is beautiful, aesthetic and absolutly horse friendly, from what I've seen so far and Sureno's open stable is just amazing, he has tremendous space to move around. The best decision you could have made for him. Well done!!!
Matt, I love that Sureno's new owner says 're-home' rather than 'for sale' ❤❤❤ I know it is difficult to say goodbye, but you did an amazing job finding Sureno the perfect new home. I've watched a few of Lockie's videos after watching your video and think you could not have found a better home for Sureno. I look forward to seeing his journey. Love to you, Jesse, all your horses and, of course, Mazy and Penny.
Matt, you turned a very difficult situation into something that has enriched the life of both Sureno and Lochlan for a long time into the future - you did it, you changed their lives - I could see it. So much respect! I hope that feeling of loss fades as you see Soreno blossom in his new home. I think he would thank you for what you did.
Lockie is a wonderful horse trainer, he is so compassionate, I've been following him for a long time. You truly couldn't have picked a better home for Sureno and I think it was brave of you to do what was best for him.
As one who had to re-home my heart horse many years ago, (And promptly got in the shower, laid down in the bottom of it and cried, when getting home from signing him over, even though he went to a perfect home, as well.) I really struggled to not cry during this video!! I also love and appreciate that the term “re-home” was used, as that’s what I said for my boy all of those years ago, as well. Sureno is going to THE PERFECT home, you couldn’t have found a better new owner, and any should be so fortunate to find the same for their horses that they part with. Not all of us get our “forevers/happily ever afters” with a horse, and at the end of it all, what truly matters, is that they are loved and cared for as best as possible, even if that ends up or has to be someone else. THAT is the mark of a genuine horse lover: willing to let go, so your horse can have the absolute best life possible.💕
I can’t believe I’m in tears as he was loaded onto the truck. I was thinking of the visit by the horse communicator and wondering what Sureno was thinking and feeling. At least he went to another Aussie who appears to be a good guy. Thank you for making sure he landed softly.
As glad as I am that you found him a home that will make everyone happy, my heart absolutely shattered for you as the truck pulled away. Sometimes it's the right decisions that are the hardest. Sending you and Sureno, so much love. ❤️
Brilliant ... just brilliant Matt. I'm so happy for Sureno. Matt, it was so unselfish of you to share this wonderful stallion and not keep him all to yourself ... which you could very well have done. You recognized Sureno is a special horse and needs more attention than you are able to give him, given your schedule and drive in the direction of what you wish to accomplish, in your lifetime as a horseman. You removed Sureno from his previous situation, improved his living conditions, and made an honest effort (with no money spared) to sincerely incorporate him into your life goals. For whatever reason it was not meant to be, as you opened your heart up to see it wasn't a good fit for Sureno, in the long-term. Just as it is for all living beings there are journeys we all must take ... some longer than others and some more permanent in nature. Would Sureno have gotten the medical care he had with you? I think not ... although I can't say that with 100% certainty. You've been blessed with the gift of having a means to provide a good home, for whatever animals you choose to incorporate into your life. You recognized within a short period of time that Sureno's limitations for what you had planned, would not provide him with the best possible situation. You had enough insight and wisdom to realize, that a square peg cannot fit through a round hole. Despite all you did to make it work, in the end you put Sureno above your desires and made a concerted effort to find a good home and fit for him. I think you made a really good decision. The new owner sounds great and it'll give you a lot relief. Don't feel badly as you you put Sureno above yourself ... and you were responsible in rehoming him to the most suitable place possible. There's a reason for everything and Sureno was better off to be with you initially, from his previous home ... just as he is now better off where he is. He's begun his next chapter in his life and the bonus is, it's Sureno's forever home. You made that possible Matt. I'm so glad you showed the part where Sureno arrived and we could see he is going to be well taken care of. This unselfish thing you did blessed both of them ... what a wonderful way to pay Sureno back, for all the joy and love he provided you ... and a way to reward this man for all the good he is doing.. It appears you're both very caring owners and although he has a slightly different approach, you both are driven with a deep sense of compassion for horses' well-being ... a chosen path. As a subscriber you've also provided me an opportunity to find yet another worthwhile TH-cam channel I can watch that teaches healthy and compassionate horsemanship. Again, I really respect your decision, knowing it was going to be hard. But I think, in a way, as one door closes another one opens ... I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress with your newest PRE stallion ... and, of course, Emporio + the rest of the gang at home. God works in mysterious ways.
What a home for him! Such a hard decision but I think Sureno will just love his new life. His new owner seems so kind. What a lucky horse to have had many amazing homes in his life
You did a great job at finding him a good home. You can see Sureno looked very happy being where he was. Whether it was the Spain’s weather or just having a big stall with lots of room. It’s better than living in a small box stall. You did a beautiful thing for him.
Will miss seeing Sureno with you but will continue to watch him on his new channel. His new Papa seems lovely. Love to you all during this bitter sweet time.
Oh man! He looked SO happy to be back in Spain! I so feel you Matt, it must be the hardest ting to let go, but he looked so pleaced being back in the kind of nature and climate he was used to.
I know, right. The way he perked up when stepping out of the truck and was walking in the stall. 😊 It really looked like just the change of scenery back to what he was used to made him so much happier. I'm sure he had a great home with Matt, don't get me wrong.
Matt, I totally sympathise with you and your situation as I know how heartwrenching it is to say goodbye to your four legged companion. It was very courageous of you to share such an emotional moment. Furthermore, I want you to know that you can be proud of yourself because you have given Sureno your 100% since the beginning of your journey together. I am confident that you have found the best match for Sureno and that he will continue to flourish in his new home. Finally, I wish you, Sureno and Lockie the best for the future 🙂
Oh my gosh. This is an incredible outcome for Sureno. I have such a good feeling about this I literally feel like I am buzzing. This is the universe in action people. This is divine timing in the flesh. Thank you for sharing this with us Matt and Jesse. Thank you @emotionalhorsemanship Lachy for being a ray of light for not just Sureno, but for Spain. You are the becon of light the horses in Spain have needed for eons. How do we not know all about you here in Australia. I will definitely be following your mission. This whole outcome and set of circumstances is just absolutely incredible 💕🙌
Oh my goodness! So very happy,that Beautiful Soreno is going to a wonderful home,and an awesome owner. Your last video,I cried,this one ,I did not!! Thank you for letting fans share your journey with Soreno. God Bless,Stay Safe and Well. Please keep fans updated about Soreno,if possible. Donna, Long Island,USA.🙂🐎❤
I've always liked you and appreciated your ethics as concerns your animals. However I have so much respect for you now I cannot describe. I know this was hard but you put Sureno first. I wish more people would do the same. Bravo Matt!
I know for me I am so happy that this truly is a new beginning and that you can follow his progress and witness that life will be good for him at his forever home. Letting go is never easy, but if what is next is better for them then you did your job. Best to a magnificent stallion!
Matt, I've been wrapped up in your channel from Australia days and so have been through "everything" with you. This post is definately so good and yet so so hard. I admire your stance throughout and how you have sheperded "the big boy with the most gentle demeanor" to a place where he so obviously will thrive. I was crying copiously just as a release from the "worrying" about the future for Sureno I think. I will be following his journey with Lochie as well. So many thanks for this sharing of your very personal life with us. It hit home.
Beautifully done Matt! Just wonderful that all of you involved put Sureno's needs first, and I have a feeling that he'll be very happy in his new home 💛🥂💃
You guys SURELY bonded over the hair. Looking forward to Sureno’s journey. I had tears in my eyes when he left and tears in my eyes when I saw what a wonderful home he went to.
Matt, much support to you and Jesse. Sureno will have a wonderful life with Lockie. Thank you for sharing the links so that we may follow their journey as well. ♥
How very gorgeous is Sureno! Thank you for sharing his journey to his new home. Sometimes doing the right thing is not the easiest thing to do. You found a wonderful forever home for a deserving companion. Thrilled we will be able to follow Sureno in his new home.
WHOA... you really couldn't have found a better home come back home to Spain. I really like the idea that he will be able to transition Sorrento into a holistic approach to his new home. You are such a good owner to think of him first and care about your horses so dearly. The new home gosh that guy Lockie has such a big heart, a love of his horses and what he is doing. Very cool x
Def going to miss that big boy, sad tears, happy tears, every emotion. Mostly happy Matt that you took your time to find the right fit for him. I'm sure he will grow to be a very contented horse. Love and hugs from the UK 🐎🐶💝😍
Matt, you couldn’t have found him a better owner. You definitely made the right decision, even though it was hard. I’m really excited to see where Surenos journey goes
Love what Lochy said about being a classically trained ballet dancer as akin to being a classically trained dressage horse! Makes so much sense as a fellow dancer/horsewoman. He is clearly in loving and capable hands. Well done, Matt.
At 14:50 I'm sitting here tearing up and getting all emotional and he's not even my horse! I can see that it appears that he will have a wonderful forever home, but like you said, it's still bittersweet. Bless you for letting him go.
You did the best for Sureno by giving him his best life. Doesn't make it hurt any less when you have to say goodbye. The silver lining is that you can visit and watch him on Lochlan's channel. You did well in rehoming him!
Absolutely heartbreaking - but be proud of making the best, most unselfish decision for Soreno’s welfare. Lochy seems like THE most loving, caring person to whom you could ever have trusted your beautiful horse. You WILL miss him, you WILL shed tears, but you have found him an extraordinary new owner who will love and care for him every bit as much as you did yourself. That’s as much love as you could give Soreno- he’s so beautiful you could just have sold him to anyone , but you’ve sold him to a soulmate . Well done you . 👏🏼❤️
Sureno is the most gorgeous horse ever. Not only is his looks stunning, he seems so very sweet and wonderful. I'm gonna follow Lockie and hope to se Sureno again on his channel. I am sure you made the right decision, seems like you clicked a lot with Lockies ideas and plans. Even though it is a bit bittersweet you must feel good for giving Sureno the best!
Please take care of yourself Matt. This must be a really emotional journey for you. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself grace. You are going to be ok, in fact, you already are. May God bless you!
Hey Matt I'm so happy you found such a wonderful new home for Serrano! Loky sounds like the perfect new dad for him. I wish every horse in Spain could live with him. He not only loves horses, he makes sure the ones with him really are living their best lives and educating others on how they can do the same 😁 What a phenomenal person! I'm an old lady and I'm not a hugger, but but I just wish I could give him the biggest hug ever. And thank you for choosing him. You and Jesse are great dads and give your horses great lives as much a you're able, but Loky has made it his life's work to find what's best for the horses. I was so thilled to hear he's also a hoof specialist. It breaks my heart when I hear metal shoes on pavement. I love Emma Massingale for using booties on her ponies and horses. 😍 Love and blessings to you and Jesse and all your fur babies 💗🙏
Oh Matt I felt it! May your heart heal you did the best thing for him you even got him a good new owner. Being selfless is so hard and love allows it. You did your best and that should give you confort. ♥️
That’s wonderful news ! Every Aussie I’ve met and followed are kind and generous people. Spain is not far. God bless your union. Omg Matt this made me cry!! Was so worried
A brilliant and courageous outcome. I think we knew you would make a considered, kind and intelligent decision for a wonderful horse. Wonderful to know we will be able to see him as well.
It is definitely emotional when you have to sell a horse or any animal that you invested so much time and love into. But, that is so nice that you spent so much time going through all the applications to make sure that Sureno found the perfect forever home. The natural, barefoot process that you said that Lockie is going to introduce Sureno to sounds very similar to the caring method my family and I use with our horses and the little glimpse of his new home reminds me of my backyard back when my horses and I lived in Nevada. Remember all of the good times you have shared and like Lockie said, this is just the beginning of a new life.
I don't know why this made me cry so hard, Sureno is going to a good home. Lockie appears to be an amazing person with a great love for horses. Even the driver of the transport that was so sweet to Sureno on the first trip looked happy for the horse and that really struck me. I guess maybe it's just because I could hear a bit of sadness in Jesse and Matt's voices at parting. I wished I could have reached through the computer screen to give them a hug. Thank you for sharing this with us, difficult as it was, and thank you to Lockie for giving Sureno a forever home where we emotionally invested fans will still get to see him.
wow, i really did cry because my attachment issues are terrible and i followed Sureno's story since the beginning, i will miss him alot but i'm so glad that he has an amazing new home!!
Matt, Wonderful choice of a permanent home for Sureno! He is a lovely horse and deserves the care you gave him and the future you found for him. I just think of where Sureno was before he came to you and things have just become better and better for this stallion. Remember that what really counts is that a horse gets to be able to succeed at what they will be asked to do. Lockie looks like the right person for this massive PRE Stallion and I'm so glad you were able to find the best home for him.
I have watched Loch some months ago and was impressed by his meaningful connection with horses. I feel your heartache Matt also Jesse, but you have done the right thing for Soreno. God bless you all on this new chapter.
Honestly, thank you for taking the time & care you did in making this video. He's such a special horse. Seeing him looking at you as they closed the doors in the trailer got me. :'( He looked happy to find himself in his new home. I think you really did do what's best for him & I understand better now. ❤
This video really touched me. You could feel that it wasn’t so easy for you, Matt. When the truck left the yard - I can only imagine how you felt when it already touched me! At the same time I can really feel Lockie‘s honesty and his deep empathy and understanding of Sureno and his needs and your situation. It sounds like the absolute perfect home for him! And seeing him at his new place with Lockie - yes, there might have escaped a tear or two! Wishing all the best for Lockie‘s and Sureno‘s future!
A bittersweet ending for you, Matt (and Jesse, too), but a very happy ending and new beginning for Sureno and Lockie. What a wonderful story! There are so many synchronicities--Sureno returning to Spain, but to a much more compassionate life there than most Spanish horses have, the kind of life Matt wants him to have. So many parallels between Matt and Lockie--their Australian backgrounds, of course, but also both having worked in professions (modeling and ballet) that tend to be extremely focused on performance and outward appearances instead of on nurturing the balance required to live as a healthy, happy, comfortable humans. It's clear Sureno will get to live that balanced life in his new home. What fun it will be to see him develop his in new future with Lockie!
This was such a beautiful video and interview of the new owner. What an incredible opportunity for Sureno. I love his philosophy with Emotional Horsemanship and he’s a hoof care expert! What are the chances?! He’s going to be a happy, healthy, fulfilled barefoot dude. 🤍 Thank you Matt, for doing what’s best for the horse and your dedication to finding him the best of the best.
Thanks so much for sharing, Matt. I really respect your openness with what was and will be going on with Sureno. I'm happy that I will be able to follow Sureno; didn't realized how attached I had become ❤
Good luck to Sureno in his new home & lifestyle. Sounds like a nice choice for you & new owner & Sureno. I like the description that this isn't an ending, but a new beginning. Nice that new owner is allowing ongoing contact for you & for all of us.
so happy he went too Lockie! Lockie is an amazing individual and I am sure Sureno is gonna love staying with him! I have been following Lockie for a long time and honestly was surprised to see that he went too him but so glad he did!
Much love to Sureno and all the emotional support there can be for you, Matt. You have done well. Sureno and Lochlan seem a really great and beautiful match. Life taught me that sometimes we are just middlemen in the unwinding stories of other beings that we share this planet with. Maybe this is what you have been to Sureno and for me personally this is the most beautiful aspect in life itself. What a great story you have the privilege to be part of… all the best 🤍
Wow this had to be emotional from the beginning once he had his leg injury. You have a huge heart Matt we can all see that. And deciding to rehome him and the choices you had to choose from was a great option. So glad your heart feels good in your choice that was made. And how lucky it's somewhere you can see him and watch on TH-cam. I'm sad but happy as well. Many thanks to you and Jesse giving us viewers the opportunity to see parts of your lives, your loves and your horses. Linda from Phoenix Az. US.
Wow. The new owner send out so much rays of warmth. He giving me asap a great feeling. That Sureno will be safe and at a great place with so much love around him. What a great person and place... All the best for Sureno. I'm sad for you and Sureno, that your journey together now have an end. But I think it's a happy ending anyway. A hard one, but a decision made for his horse and what's best for him... All the best for everyone... 🌺🍀✨🍀🌺
Matt you were Sureno's "interim angel". I loved the girl you got him from, she was so cute and sweet, but he would have spent much of his life in a stall, compared to the living quarters he will be in now. You are a class act Matt! Thanks for sharing:.
I couldn’t think of any other home that would be this perfect. I’ve followed Lockie for some time and he’s amazing. Goodluck for Sureno on his new journey
What great work you did to find Soreno such an amazing new home he will have a great life and you can also still visit him too. Plus what are the odds that you meet another Aussie to buy him well done Matt. Totally agree re think of your horse first as you both do. Thank You for sharing.
I sensed that when Soreno came off the trailer, smelling Spain's air... he remembered his home. He truly acted light and free... finally, home again... with an amazing owner... a forever home... my Soul is filled with joy and relief as I know Soreno is also feeling... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This was tough to watch as we know how much you & Jesse love Sureno. As you said at the end of the video you’ve listened to your horse and done the best by him and that is love in its highest form despite it being bittersweet. He did look happy and content in the arrival footage with Lockie which is lovely. Lockie seemed to be the perfect fit for Sureno. I’m looking forward to see their new chapter together & Sureno back in his home land running free with a herd 🥰
You don’t know how much I feel your pain, it’s knowing what’s best for the horse you love; sometimes it’s not with you. but it’s heartbreaking. And my heart goes out to you
I'm so glad Sureno is going to another good home! Thank you for this video, i know in the last one lots of folks (including me) we really worried about him
We'll miss him dearly, I can't imagine how hard it was for you to say goodbye to him. On a positive note though, I think Lochy is by far the most perfect person Sureno could have gone to. He's going to have a fabulous life, a more calm life which I think will be needed for his recovery and building back up. Excited to see how he progresses
What an amazing new home Soreno will have. A perfect owner for his needs. Can’t wait to see him evolve . It’s a humbling experience to let go a horse you love but at the same time knowing that he will be in even better hands. Seems like the beginning of new good horseman relationship between them two. Cheers to both
omg… I don’t think I was ready but I’m so happy you shared your phone call with Lockie because immediately we can see he’s another gentle soul & great forever home for Sureno. Absolutely excited for Lockie & Sureno’s new beginning’s. Mat you stayed so strong… Jesse squeeze Mat for me please… sending you both love & wishing you the best 💜✌️
I have been following Sureno with you Matt. From the start I could see he was a big sweet baby. He is special. I'm so glad he has found a good and supportive owner who will enjoy and engage him for his gentle nature. 👏
Take heart and know you made an amazing match with Lockie! Sureno will always hold a special place in your heart and the best part is you get to visit him!
Matt, it means a lot that you are always so honest and open with your subscribers, and you always make sure that we see and understand the background of the things that you do. You really did find the perfect home for Sureno, and I am so glad that we can follow through his journey. :) I am sure it was a hard decision to make, and a bittersweet ending but you made the right choice! I hope you can visit Sureno soon! ❤️
When I first heard you were looking for another home for Sureno I must admit I was so worried about his future but honestly I'm loving what I've heard so far and it sounds like your beautiful boy is going to a wonderful home where he will be cared for with all the love that you showed him, ❤️❤️
Sureno is so special and its so sad.. i know it was a big and hard decision for you to make. Always keeping in mind what would be best for him even though its hard on the heart. And I think he will definitely be very happy and life a good horsey life there❤️
The both of you are awesome guys 💚. Good luck to the 2 of you.
So very kind and good of you to support and help Matt through this difficult time. I'm quite sure he recognizes your helpfulness and thoughtfulness. It must be very difficult for you as well. The most important thing is that Sureno will continue to enjoy a wonderful life! 🐎👍
Best of everything to you both, you both deserve it!!! 🌞🌛❤️
Sehr liebe Worte von Dir. Es wird etwas Zeit brauchen bis diese Traurigkeit vorbei ist. Es ist das Beste was Matt für Sureno machen konnte. Er behält sicher einen Platz in Euren Herzen❤️
so wise and supportive Jesse. Not easy for you either. We appreciate your imput always.
pass onto Matt how great his hair is in the phone call with Lockie hehe.
Honoured, thrilled and humbled to be a part of this horses journey, and his forever home from here on out. No matter what, he is safe with me and my herd. His hoof and body (and heart) rehab will I hope be an interesting process for folks to follow along, and please expect regular Sureno updates on YT, Instagram FB and long, detailed journey shown on patreon.
Thank you to Matt, his team for trusting me with this incredible horse. Thank you for your support, especially my friends and clients here in the comments who all spoke up for me.
OMG.. I’m so so so happy Cerento is very well taken care of.. Your amazing Lochey.. Love Love Love what your doing and showing things I had no idea on horses.. Thank you Lochey & Matt.. both are very gifted in many ways..
Thank God literally. Thank you for helping this sweet baby
Thank you so much for loving this gorgeous creature! His forever home is absolutely lovely, and I am sure he's feeling the joy!!! 🏇🏽💝

Very well stated. It’s a much harder thing to do
Thinking big picture. Horses live a long time and
They do recognize love and care relationships.
I know Lockie. You really couldn't have found a better home for Sureno. He's going to have the best care ever ❤️
That’s so comforting to know ❤️
yea
❤❤💝💖
I have been following Lockie for long time and I am so glad he went too him too, he really has the best home there 🥺
Ewa, thank you for your support. I appreciate it a lot.
I officially love Lachy, what a beautiful point of view on how horses should ideally live naturally in herds, free to make their own choices. This seems like such an incredible home, free from judgement and full of love😊

Love to you, Jesse, all your horses and, of course, Mazy and Penny.
It is never possible to truly 'own' a horse, but to be a home for them.
Matt, you turned a very difficult situation into something that has enriched the life of both Sureno and Lochlan for a long time into the future - you did it, you changed their lives - I could see it. So much respect! I hope that feeling of loss fades as you see Soreno blossom in his new home. I think he would thank you for what you did.
Lockie is a wonderful horse trainer, he is so compassionate, I've been following him for a long time. You truly couldn't have picked a better home for Sureno and I think it was brave of you to do what was best for him.

I’m so glad Sureno has an amazing new home even if it isn’t with you. Well done Matt
Matt have been following you since the beginning when you and less than 100 subscribers, it’s so amazing to see how far you’ve come. Lots of love Anna
This is amazing 💚
We’ll miss seeing Sureno but I’m glad he has a new good home.
I like very much,that you are not a man who hides his feelings! What a good kind of idol you are!
I can’t believe I’m in tears as he was loaded onto the truck. I was thinking of the visit by the horse communicator and wondering what Sureno was thinking and feeling. At least he went to another Aussie who appears to be a good guy. Thank you for making sure he landed softly.
Wow Sureno is gonna have an amazing home with his basic needs (Friends, Forage and Freedom) and being on his natural feet, love it ❤️👏
As glad as I am that you found him a home that will make everyone happy, my heart absolutely shattered for you as the truck pulled away. Sometimes it's the right decisions that are the hardest. Sending you and Sureno, so much love. ❤️
Brilliant ... just brilliant Matt. I'm so happy for Sureno.
Matt, it was so unselfish of you to share this wonderful stallion and not keep him all to yourself ... which you could very well have done. You recognized Sureno is a special horse and needs more attention than you are able to give him, given your schedule and drive in the direction of what you wish to accomplish, in your lifetime as a horseman.
You removed Sureno from his previous situation, improved his living conditions, and made an honest effort (with no money spared) to sincerely incorporate him into your life goals. For whatever reason it was not meant to be, as you opened your heart up to see it wasn't a good fit for Sureno, in the long-term.
Just as it is for all living beings there are journeys we all must take ... some longer than others and some more permanent in nature. Would Sureno have gotten the medical care he had with you? I think not ... although I can't say that with 100% certainty. You've been blessed with the gift of having a means to provide a good home, for whatever animals you choose to incorporate into your life.
You recognized within a short period of time that Sureno's limitations for what you had planned, would not provide him with the best possible situation. You had enough insight and wisdom to realize, that a square peg cannot fit through a round hole.
Despite all you did to make it work, in the end you put Sureno above your desires and made a concerted effort to find a good home and fit for him. I think you made a really good decision. The new owner sounds great and it'll give you a lot relief. Don't feel badly as you you put Sureno above yourself ... and you were responsible in rehoming him to the most suitable place possible.
There's a reason for everything and Sureno was better off to be with you initially, from his previous home ... just as he is now better off where he is. He's begun his next chapter in his life and the bonus is, it's Sureno's forever home. You made that possible Matt.
I'm so glad you showed the part where Sureno arrived and we could see he is going to be well taken care of. This unselfish thing you did blessed both of them ... what a wonderful way to pay Sureno back, for all the joy and love he provided you ... and a way to reward this man for all the good he is doing..
It appears you're both very caring owners and although he has a slightly different approach, you both are driven with a deep sense of compassion for horses' well-being ... a chosen path.
As a subscriber you've also provided me an opportunity to find yet another worthwhile TH-cam channel I can watch that teaches healthy and compassionate horsemanship.
Again, I really respect your decision, knowing it was going to be hard. But I think, in a way, as one door closes another one opens ... I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress with your newest PRE stallion ... and, of course, Emporio + the rest of the gang at home.
God works in mysterious ways.
What a home for him! Such a hard decision but I think Sureno will just love his new life.
His new owner seems so kind. What a lucky horse to have had many amazing homes in his life
The way his new owner is talking about his new friend really touches me. There's so much love in his words ❤
You did a great job at finding him a good home. You can see Sureno looked very happy being where he was. Whether it was the Spain’s weather or just having a big stall with lots of room. It’s better than living in a small box stall. You did a beautiful thing for him.
Sureno was blessed to have you for a time. He knew only love and had every need met. His new journey sounds amazing & I’m happy for him
Will miss seeing Sureno with you but will continue to watch him on his new channel. His new Papa seems lovely. Love to you all during this bitter sweet time.
PS: I'd love to check his place out when visiting Spain next year.
Oh man! He looked SO happy to be back in Spain! I so feel you Matt, it must be the hardest ting to let go, but he looked so pleaced being back in the kind of nature and climate he was used to.
I know, right. The way he perked up when stepping out of the truck and was walking in the stall. 😊 It really looked like just the change of scenery back to what he was used to made him so much happier.
I'm sure he had a great home with Matt, don't get me wrong.
Matt, I totally sympathise with you and your situation as I know how heartwrenching it is to say goodbye to your four legged companion. It was very courageous of you to share such an emotional moment. Furthermore, I want you to know that you can be proud of yourself because you have given Sureno your 100% since the beginning of your journey together. I am confident that you have found the best match for Sureno and that he will continue to flourish in his new home. Finally, I wish you, Sureno and Lockie the best for the future 🙂
Oh my gosh. This is an incredible outcome for Sureno. I have such a good feeling about this I literally feel like I am buzzing. This is the universe in action people. This is divine timing in the flesh. Thank you for sharing this with us Matt and Jesse. Thank you @emotionalhorsemanship Lachy for being a ray of light for not just Sureno, but for Spain. You are the becon of light the horses in Spain have needed for eons. How do we not know all about you here in Australia. I will definitely be following your mission. This whole outcome and set of circumstances is just absolutely incredible 💕🙌
I am so excited to show Sureno this new life. Thank you for your support
Oh my goodness! So very happy,that Beautiful Soreno is going to a wonderful home,and an awesome owner. Your last video,I cried,this one ,I did not!! Thank you for letting fans share your journey with Soreno. God Bless,Stay Safe and Well. Please keep fans updated about Soreno,if possible. Donna, Long Island,USA.🙂🐎❤
I've always liked you and appreciated your ethics as concerns your animals. However I have so much respect for you now I cannot describe. I know this was hard but you put Sureno first. I wish more people would do the same. Bravo Matt!
I know for me I am so happy that this truly is a new beginning and that you can follow his progress and witness that life will be good for him at his forever home.
Letting go is never easy, but if what is next is better for them then you did your job.
Best to a magnificent stallion!
Matt, I've been wrapped up in your channel from Australia days and so have been through "everything" with you. This post is definately so good and yet so so hard. I admire your stance throughout and how you have sheperded "the big boy with the most gentle demeanor" to a place where he so obviously will thrive. I was crying copiously just as a release from the "worrying" about the future for Sureno I think. I will be following his journey with Lochie as well. So many thanks for this sharing of your very personal life with us. It hit home.
Im sure Sureno is going to love his new forever home. Lockie seems like a caring man towards his team of horses. Good luck Sureno !
Beautifully done Matt! Just wonderful that all of you involved put Sureno's needs first, and I have a feeling that he'll be very happy in his new home 💛🥂💃
Matt..to love an animal enough to let him go to a better life ...is a beautiful thing! Bless you in your future endeavors..you're a good man!
You guys SURELY bonded over the hair. Looking forward to Sureno’s journey. I had tears in my eyes when he left and tears in my eyes when I saw what a wonderful home he went to.
Matt, much support to you and Jesse. Sureno will have a wonderful life with Lockie. Thank you for sharing the links so that we may follow their journey as well. ♥
How very gorgeous is Sureno! Thank you for sharing his journey to his new home. Sometimes doing the right thing is not the easiest thing to do. You found a wonderful forever home for a deserving companion. Thrilled we will be able to follow Sureno in his new home.
WHOA... you really couldn't have found a better home come back home to Spain. I really like the idea that he will be able to transition Sorrento into a holistic approach to his new home. You are such a good owner to think of him first and care about your horses so dearly. The new home gosh that guy Lockie has such a big heart, a love of his horses and what he is doing. Very cool x
Thank you for being so considerate in rehoming Soreno. I'm sure he'll be happy in his new home.
Aweee. I love y’all. He’ll be happy!! Will always be missed. Hopefully later on we see updates as well🤍
Def going to miss that big boy, sad tears, happy tears, every emotion. Mostly happy Matt that you took your time to find the right fit for him. I'm sure he will grow to be a very contented horse. Love and hugs from the UK 🐎🐶💝😍
Matt, you couldn’t have found him a better owner. You definitely made the right decision, even though it was hard. I’m really excited to see where Surenos journey goes
Love what Lochy said about being a classically trained ballet dancer as akin to being a classically trained dressage horse! Makes so much sense as a fellow dancer/horsewoman. He is clearly in loving and capable hands. Well done, Matt.
At 14:50 I'm sitting here tearing up and getting all emotional and he's not even my horse! I can see that it appears that he will have a wonderful forever home, but like you said, it's still bittersweet. Bless you for letting him go.
You did the best for Sureno by giving him his best life. Doesn't make it hurt any less when you have to say goodbye. The silver lining is that you can visit and watch him on Lochlan's channel. You did well in rehoming him!
Thank you for sharing. Your family has become part of my heart family and I appreciate being a witness to your closure.
Absolutely heartbreaking - but be proud of making the best, most unselfish decision for Soreno’s welfare. Lochy seems like THE most loving, caring person to whom you could ever have trusted your beautiful horse. You WILL miss him, you WILL shed tears, but you have found him an extraordinary new owner who will love and care for him every bit as much as you did yourself. That’s as much love as you could give Soreno- he’s so beautiful you could just have sold him to anyone , but you’ve sold him to a soulmate . Well done you . 👏🏼❤️
Sureno is the most gorgeous horse ever. Not only is his looks stunning, he seems so very sweet and wonderful. I'm gonna follow Lockie and hope to se Sureno again on his channel. I am sure you made the right decision, seems like you clicked a lot with Lockies ideas and plans. Even though it is a bit bittersweet you must feel good for giving Sureno the best!
Wow! What an awesome new owner & home back in Spain for Sureno! So happy for everyone 🐴
Well done to both of you. It sounds like Lochlan can provide the perfect new home for Sureno.
Please take care of yourself Matt. This must be a really emotional journey for you. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself grace. You are going to be ok, in fact, you already are. May God bless you!
Hey Matt I'm so happy you found such a wonderful new home for Serrano! Loky sounds like the perfect new dad for him. I wish every horse in Spain could live with him. He not only loves horses, he makes sure the ones with him really are living their best lives and educating others on how they can do the same 😁 What a phenomenal person! I'm an old lady and I'm not a hugger, but but I just wish I could give him the biggest hug ever. And thank you for choosing him. You and Jesse are great dads and give your horses great lives as much a you're able, but Loky has made it his life's work to find what's best for the horses. I was so thilled to hear he's also a hoof specialist. It breaks my heart when I hear metal shoes on pavement. I love Emma Massingale for using booties on her ponies and horses. 😍 Love and blessings to you and Jesse and all your fur babies 💗🙏
Oh Matt I felt it! May your heart heal you did the best thing for him you even got him a good new owner. Being selfless is so hard and love allows it. You did your best and that should give you confort. ♥️
That’s wonderful news ! Every Aussie I’ve met and followed are kind and generous people. Spain is not far. God bless your union. Omg Matt this made me cry!! Was so worried
you couldn`t wish for a better home for him than with Lockie; well done!
Wow, that was a great interview & it was so neat to see Sureno arrive to Lockie. I think you’ve picked a great forever home! ❤
A brilliant and courageous outcome. I think we knew you would make a considered, kind and intelligent decision for a wonderful horse. Wonderful to know we will be able to see him as well.
I’ve followed Lockie for a long time and he is such a fabulous trainer. You could not have picked a better home for him!
What is Lockie's youtube channel's name please? I would love to follow it

Cassie, thank you for your support.
It is definitely emotional when you have to sell a horse or any animal that you invested so much time and love into. But, that is so nice that you spent so much time going through all the applications to make sure that Sureno found the perfect forever home. The natural, barefoot process that you said that Lockie is going to introduce Sureno to sounds very similar to the caring method my family and I use with our horses and the little glimpse of his new home reminds me of my backyard back when my horses and I lived in Nevada. Remember all of the good times you have shared and like Lockie said, this is just the beginning of a new life.
Seeing that smile on Lockie's face when Sureno arrived to his new home made me smile too! All's well that ends well.
I don't know why this made me cry so hard, Sureno is going to a good home. Lockie appears to be an amazing person with a great love for horses. Even the driver of the transport that was so sweet to Sureno on the first trip looked happy for the horse and that really struck me. I guess maybe it's just because I could hear a bit of sadness in Jesse and Matt's voices at parting. I wished I could have reached through the computer screen to give them a hug. Thank you for sharing this with us, difficult as it was, and thank you to Lockie for giving Sureno a forever home where we emotionally invested fans will still get to see him.
Beautiful video! So happy Sureno is going to such a good home! Thanks Matt, for letting us be there 💖
wow, i really did cry because my attachment issues are terrible and i followed Sureno's story since the beginning, i will miss him alot but i'm so glad that he has an amazing new home!!
Matt, Wonderful choice of a permanent home for Sureno! He is a lovely horse and deserves the care you gave him and the future you found for him. I just think of where Sureno was before he came to you and things have just become better and better for this stallion. Remember that what really counts is that a horse gets to be able to succeed at what they will be asked to do. Lockie looks like the right person for this massive PRE Stallion and I'm so glad you were able to find the best home for him.
Well done, Matt! You handled this perfectly and found Sureno a beautiful, happy, forever home.
It sounds like he will have any amazing home I think you've made the right choice Matt I can't wait to watch Sureno's new journey
Lockie is a phenomenal horseman, what a great home
I have watched Loch some months ago and was impressed by his meaningful connection with horses.
I feel your heartache Matt also Jesse, but you have done the right thing for Soreno. God bless you all on this new chapter.
Honestly, thank you for taking the time & care you did in making this video. He's such a special horse. Seeing him looking at you as they closed the doors in the trailer got me. :'( He looked happy to find himself in his new home. I think you really did do what's best for him & I understand better now. ❤
This video really touched me. You could feel that it wasn’t so easy for you, Matt. When the truck left the yard - I can only imagine how you felt when it already touched me! At the same time I can really feel Lockie‘s honesty and his deep empathy and understanding of Sureno and his needs and your situation. It sounds like the absolute perfect home for him! And seeing him at his new place with Lockie - yes, there might have escaped a tear or two! Wishing all the best for Lockie‘s and Sureno‘s future!
A bittersweet ending for you, Matt (and Jesse, too), but a very happy ending and new beginning for Sureno and Lockie. What a wonderful story! There are so many synchronicities--Sureno returning to Spain, but to a much more compassionate life there than most Spanish horses have, the kind of life Matt wants him to have. So many parallels between Matt and Lockie--their Australian backgrounds, of course, but also both having worked in professions (modeling and ballet) that tend to be extremely focused on performance and outward appearances instead of on nurturing the balance required to live as a healthy, happy, comfortable humans. It's clear Sureno will get to live that balanced life in his new home. What fun it will be to see him develop his in new future with Lockie!
This was such a beautiful video and interview of the new owner. What an incredible opportunity for Sureno. I love his philosophy with Emotional Horsemanship and he’s a hoof care expert! What are the chances?! He’s going to be a happy, healthy, fulfilled barefoot dude. 🤍 Thank you Matt, for doing what’s best for the horse and your dedication to finding him the best of the best.
Thanks so much for sharing, Matt. I really respect your openness with what was and will be going on with Sureno. I'm happy that I will be able to follow Sureno; didn't realized how attached I had become ❤
Thank you Matt for sharing this conversation with Lockie. I’m sure he’s going to a wonderful new home and a wonderful new life! Bittersweet time.
Doing what is best for him is so very difficult, you’ve provided him what he needs. ❤️❤️
Good luck to Sureno in his new home & lifestyle. Sounds like a nice choice for you & new owner & Sureno. I like the description that this isn't an ending, but a new beginning. Nice that new owner is allowing ongoing contact for you & for all of us.
Happy tears for everyone. You are such a good horse person and role model!!
I definitely cried when he went into the truck, but he has the best possible new home!🖤
so happy he went too Lockie! Lockie is an amazing individual and I am sure Sureno is gonna love staying with him! I have been following Lockie for a long time and honestly was surprised to see that he went too him but so glad he did!
Much love to Sureno and all the emotional support there can be for you, Matt. You have done well. Sureno and Lochlan seem a really great and beautiful match. Life taught me that sometimes we are just middlemen in the unwinding stories of other beings that we share this planet with. Maybe this is what you have been to Sureno and for me personally this is the most beautiful aspect in life itself. What a great story you have the privilege to be part of… all the best 🤍
Wow this had to be emotional from the beginning once he had his leg injury. You have a huge heart Matt we can all see that. And deciding to rehome him and the choices you had to choose from was a great option. So glad your heart feels good in your choice that was made. And how lucky it's somewhere you can see him and watch on TH-cam. I'm sad but happy as well.
Many thanks to you and Jesse giving us viewers the opportunity to see parts of your lives, your loves and your horses.
Linda from Phoenix Az. US.
I am so happy and excited to see Sureno's new journey and I am very glad that you are accepting of his new life and owner
Wow. The new owner send out so much rays of warmth. He giving me asap a great feeling. That Sureno will be safe and at a great place with so much love around him. What a great person and place... All the best for Sureno. I'm sad for you and Sureno, that your journey together now have an end. But I think it's a happy ending anyway. A hard one, but a decision made for his horse and what's best for him... All the best for everyone... 🌺🍀✨🍀🌺
Matt you were Sureno's "interim angel". I loved the girl you got him from, she was so cute and sweet, but he would have spent much of his life in a stall, compared to the living quarters he will be in now. You are a class act Matt! Thanks for sharing:.
He went home to Spain. I wish Sureno a good life with his new partner, friend and hopefully he will enjoy a happy future. Well done, Matt ❣️❣️❣️
I couldn’t think of any other home that would be this perfect. I’ve followed Lockie for some time and he’s amazing. Goodluck for Sureno on his new journey
What great work you did to find Soreno such an amazing new home he will have a great life and you can also still visit him too. Plus what are the odds that you meet another Aussie to buy him well done Matt. Totally agree re think of your horse first as you both do. Thank You for sharing.
I sensed that when Soreno came off the trailer, smelling Spain's air... he remembered his home. He truly acted light and free... finally, home again... with an amazing owner... a forever home... my Soul is filled with joy and relief as I know Soreno is also feeling... 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This was tough to watch as we know how much you & Jesse love Sureno. As you said at the end of the video you’ve listened to your horse and done the best by him and that is love in its highest form despite it being bittersweet. He did look happy and content in the arrival footage with Lockie which is lovely. Lockie seemed to be the perfect fit for Sureno. I’m looking forward to see their new chapter together & Sureno back in his home land running free with a herd 🥰
You don’t know how much I feel your pain, it’s knowing what’s best for the horse you love; sometimes it’s not with you. but it’s heartbreaking. And my heart goes out to you
I'm so glad Sureno is going to another good home! Thank you for this video, i know in the last one lots of folks (including me) we really worried about him
We'll miss him dearly, I can't imagine how hard it was for you to say goodbye to him. On a positive note though, I think Lochy is by far the most perfect person Sureno could have gone to. He's going to have a fabulous life, a more calm life which I think will be needed for his recovery and building back up. Excited to see how he progresses
I think Jesse was more sad
That's so nice you shared this with everyone. I hope you're feeling better Matt. What a great home he went to.
What an amazing new home Soreno will have. A perfect owner for his needs. Can’t wait to see him evolve . It’s a humbling experience to let go a horse you love but at the same time knowing that he will be in even better hands. Seems like the beginning of new good horseman relationship between them two. Cheers to both
omg… I don’t think I was ready but I’m so happy you shared your phone call with Lockie because immediately we can see he’s another gentle soul & great forever home for Sureno.
Absolutely excited for Lockie & Sureno’s new beginning’s.
Mat you stayed so strong… Jesse squeeze Mat for me please… sending you both love & wishing you the best 💜✌️
I have been following Sureno with you Matt. From the start I could see he was a big sweet baby. He is special. I'm so glad he has found a good and supportive owner who will enjoy and engage him for his gentle nature. 👏
You did so good taking the hard choice to put him first
SENDING SO MUCH I COULDNT IMAGINE LETTING ONE OF MY HORSES GO YOU ARE SO STRONG ❤️🙏🏻
Take heart and know you made an amazing match with Lockie! Sureno will always hold a special place in your heart and the best part is you get to visit him!
Matt, it means a lot that you are always so honest and open with your subscribers, and you always make sure that we see and understand the background of the things that you do. You really did find the perfect home for Sureno, and I am so glad that we can follow through his journey. :) I am sure it was a hard decision to make, and a bittersweet ending but you made the right choice! I hope you can visit Sureno soon! ❤️
When I first heard you were looking for another home for Sureno I must admit I was so worried about his future but honestly I'm loving what I've heard so far and it sounds like your beautiful boy is going to a wonderful home where he will be cared for with all the love that you showed him, ❤️❤️
