Jumping is great strength training for dressage horses, too. They need to use their hind legs in a whole different way to push themselves off the ground.
You're absolutely right! Agree with you 100%. In the long run it's such a benefit. Just the mental stimuli is also wonderful for them. It's like going to school, you learn something new and you're better for it.
@@pilatesfitinbalanceyou are mainly wrong but sometimes that is true. Some horses who have sensitive mouths will toss their head because maybe the bit is irritating their mouth or something is irritating the mouth
He looked like he genuinely enjoyed it. Jumping like this is a great way to give him a little break from the dressage. It keeps things interesting and it'll give you a horse that goes into work happy and curious to see what you have in mind.
He did really well for his' first time. And I was so glad to see that you lowered the fence to a cross, after he hesitated. That is a confidence building move. And I really like how he ran straight into the shadows after every round he did. That was so cute. 😂
The more I see him the more I am amazed by how beautiful his colouring is. He learns very quickly but as you see it just takes a little time for him to develope an eye for the distances, which he was getting much better at in the end. Yes, there's a little something there. Even very large horses can be very athletic .
I could see him in lower level eq, his shoulder is not really built for jumping, but that was really well done. A little change up in daily routine keeps a happy horse.
He definitely seems like he had fun - the head shakes! And he did really good with his larger frame. It’s great to give his horses different stimulations - and not always have the same program. It keeps their mind in a better headspace, too. Patience is the key Matt 😉 „And I have a meeting“ - Jesse.
What a good boy, he's a natural. I still can't get over his stunning looks tho, he's very beautiful sooo glossy. Well done Matt & Jesse for all the care and attention for your horses well being, all of them. Love and hugs 🐶🐎💝
He was amazing. It's really good to have horses try new things, this gives them new challenges and ways of thinking, it gives them confidence. I'm so happy for you two :)
Etro is stunning! Matt you are doing a wonderful job of helping Etro find his confidence. It's amazing how far he has come since being spooked by the stick in the arena. I love how he's standing so proudly by you at the end. Plus I enjoy you and Jesse in videos together.
He looks like he's absolutely in love with jumping for sure! I think he would do great in the 80s-90s jumpers, he just needs an encouraging rider. He's adorable and I love the way he jumps. -An eventer
Matt we use PREs in Spain for kids or amateurs to learn jumping tiny jumps (up to a meter or so). They are usually really honest and have a round jump, but tend to lack strength for the bigger classes and tend to have a smaller stride than a normal jumper. He looks like the classic PRE, I think he could be a super horse for the smaller classes!
Wow, Etro is just fantastic, unbelievable how he just wants to please Matt. I think Jesse is right about going little by little, it would be a shame to overface this beautiful, courageous boy. Great video 😊x
Definitely something there.. also he seems to enjoy so worth keeping going with it regardless. The refusal to me looked more distance related than a stop, keep in mind that if the first fence is smaller he may not be landing the two steps in distance which is usually used as that could be affecting the distance to the second fence. A tip i was taught when walking a distance is to take your two steps for landing, then look back at the fence and see if you think that is where they will land for the height, then adjust if need be (so shuffle forward or back depending), and then start walking the distance from there. Same can be done at the end of the line, don't necessarily walk the two steps for take off but at the end of the stride look and see if you think that is adequate take off room for the horse. This just helps to adjust for the variables of that particular situation. Maybe trying a three stride or a slightly shorter four would be a good idea so he doesn't have to get as quick to make the distance. But great starting point and he looks so cute and happy doing it :)
He’s quite scopey! Considering he’s not built for it , he did amazing and I think he could definitely do this as like a bit of fun on the side of dressage☺️ He’s brave just needs to get the confidence down ❤
For a first timer he did REALLY REALLY well. I usually trained my horses to jump MUCH slower than that. He really did figure it out very fast and undeniably shows talent! He also managed to get his strides right without having the aid of a ground pole to help him see the jump and judge the distances for his strides... that would have made it easier for him.
He's having a grand time of it!!! The very best thing for any horse is to keep him thinking as it helps build confidence & he's loaded with sense & confidence!!! Well done u!!!!
Good job Etro! Wow! He looked like he was very proud of himself and took to it pretty fast. I blame the immaculate set up. ^-^ All jokes aside, it was very nice. You're so patient with him and give out a certain warmness he responds to immensely. I loved this. Also, what the heck Matt?! Lol No introduction or explanation for a wild Jesse appearance? xD Hi Jesse! You're awesome for taking the time to do this with Matt and Etro. (;
So nice to see how you always prioritize the enjoyment, comfort, and relaxation that your horses experience while learning and working. It is the most important aspect of training. This video reminded me how beneficial a little freejumping can be for a horse's mind-body connection and self-awareness, as well as agility and range of movement. Thanks for all that you do. I have been watching all of your videos for years.
I think .90 is the highest he could go based on how he’s built like a tank. But it will be so fun to see how he does! Cross training is so good for their minds and it’s awesome seeing Matt try something new too!
@@jessicaderksen8846 Sorry, we humans can run, but do we begin with running a marathon straight away? No, we need to build muscles and endurance to be able to make it the hole way safely without injuries or other. Horses needs the same, he isn't jumping on a regular basis yet, so they need to take it slow and build up his confidence and muscles and not jumping one meter from the get go. When you start something new do you not start from the basics and work you way up to more advanced things? To get you more confident and not to hurt yourself. Sure, horses can jump but this horse isn't used to it and don't have the confidence or the right technique yet, they are building it up slowly.
There's alittle enthusiasm there, really good to let him learn where and how to place his feet. And not super high jumps since the knees do wear and tear. Would love to see you try some horsemanship from the ground, like knowing how to yield to pressure, the yoyo-game etc!
I really enjoy your videos especially when you are together. I love Jesse's asides and the banter between the two of you! You two really complement each other. I was with Jesse that Matt should stay lower and stop sooner, but Matt knows his boy (very shiny by the way!) and knew he'd do it. How splendid was that last jump?
Oh my gosh, love you guys! This was so fun to watch. It's always good to keep the horse stimulated, thinking about and trying new things. He seems to be enjoying it, at least willing to try...lol
Etro is a magnificent horse, massive and muscular. He is superb! Despite Matt's enthusiasm, I can't imagine Etro jumping. What a mistake!!! Etro did a great job and his last jump was just WOW!!! He is proud, happy and he had fun. Great idea, Matt! Jumping could even be a good exercise for a dressage horse. Matt is a competitor, which is great, but be careful not to overdo it. This activity should remain an occasional, light and fun exercise for the big boy. Well done Etro! His behaviour has really changed since he arrived, he's more outgoing, more relaxed and playful. A beautiful and pleasing video for which I would like to thank Matt, Jesse and Kim 👍🔥👏💙
This is a good way to bring in variety to Etro's training exercises, might help with him achieving a more natural formed canter pace & balance, too. As a PRE he already often uses the forehand, so maybe you'll have to be careful about how well his legs, like his knees (Vorderfußwurzelgelenke) are going to absorb the strain from doing dressage and jumping. But I'm sure you'll keep an eye on that. Seems as if he's having a good time and that's what counts the most. Thank you for letting us see his progress, he's such a natural beauty.
That was so nice! I could see Etro didn't want to jump that high on the last one, he felt unsure about it. But he did great though, he's such a good boy.
I miss my horse so much I had to put him down two years ago now 😢 while I was pregnant with my daughter. Watching your videos gives me a sense of peace thanks Matt
He’s got quite a cute front end and uses his head, neck and back well! Definitely could see him hacking around some small courses. And he seemed to have fun and had some “Ah ha” moments which is always good.
He is so lovely!! He has the potential to be a jumper but instead of a show jumper i think he would be best in show hunter as he is a bigger type and has such a nice rhythm!!
I have been riding all my life. I just turned 66 yrs old. My friends & I did so many different kinds of things with our ponies & horses growing up! We all had one individual pony or horse, so they all had to learn & do lots of different abilities. Of course each had their favorite things they excelled in, but the neighborhood horses & ponies were very well rounded & a happy go lucky bunch! We all hung out & rode in an old abandoned Orange 🍊 Grove. It was a great place to grow up & ride. Our jumps were dead & down Orangetrees! We rode our horses to the horse shows on weekends, held at different stables in the area. The reason I am sharing this is because I can not stress enough how important it is too be open in trying something new with your horses. They can get stuck in a Rut, just like humans. They can become board & tired of the same old stuff they already know & their attitude & attention span can change into bad habits. Stimulating their brains & challenge them in trying new things can be really fun for them & you, ending on a daily accomplishment makes for a happy horse! Just don't push to hard or to fast! Have fun & celebrate them, like you did in this video! Being a horseman isn't just about winning Blue Ribbons & Trophies. The one & most important thing I learned is, It's about having a relationship, a friendship & a partnership with one of God's favorite & bravest Spirited Creatures ❤ the Horse! You give them your heart, they will trust you with their soul! God is the happiest when his children are at play! Enjoy the Journey!
Beautiful, he's loving it!! Crosses build confidence (less intimidating) higher crosses will pick his feet up without causing panic. I've also jumped Vs on a straight bar to get them to jump central and pick their feet up ( not sure if it would work free jump though) just take it slow so you don't blow his brain. I would keep this up to build strength in his back end and clearly he loves it!!
Because his hind quarters are so strong from dressage that will give him the strength to push over the jump and you can tell he was enjoying it so much❤
Awesome!!! I don't know if you use these in Europe, but here in the USA we do a lot of placing rails down on the ground before the jumps a) just on the ground to help him gauge how high the jump is, and b) sometimes 6 feet out from the jump, so he can either canter or trot it. I'd love to see how he does with those additions, and see if he does better or worse!
This is really good to do for any horse! Jumping is great for the horse's back, neck and hind legs. I have been jumping my 19 appaloosa for 2 years now and he still has the energy of a 10 year old.
That last jump was amazing! 😍 To Etro's first time for free jumping this was very good and you are Matt right, there is something and I think jumping would be something you could do more with Etro 😊
I think all horses are natural jumpers but whether they like it and will willingly do it is something else. Keep having fun, that what it is all about.
I had a 14.2 hand Morgan that was a jumping machine. 4 + feet easy peasy. And super smooth going over. Built a cross country course in the woods. Fabulous man!
He seems to really enjoy this and he did it very well. Matt, you seem to be a bit interested in jumping. Maybe start with Chase again? A little bit of variation for you and who knows you might end up as an eventer😉 giving Jesse a heart attack at every XC.😅 Life is short, should do everything that brings joy to it...
I am quite sure that he would not have stopped, if you had built it easier for him. The distance between the fences should have been 1 to 3 strides, so that he always comes to the second fence in a perfect rhythm and not has to think about if his strides match the distance. It is easier for the new horses to start with one in-out and then one or two strides to the next fence. It gives them more security. A long distance between jumps gives a horse too many different possibilities, and he is not experienced, so it overwhelms him.
🙌 What a great time! The setup was just fine for trying a new exercise experiment ~ and I'm soooo here for a new series pursuing Etro's adventures! Btw... ilysm.❣
Etro really seemed to be enjoying this. Even when he refused that high jump and bumped into it, he didn't panic. I think he just needed a better look at it. You could up the aesthetic with some colorful scarves and a heavily feathered piebald cob lol. Jesse really should get a vanner to do liberty work with, they'd be gorgeous together.
I think don't push him much higher but he's definitely got great form- plus jumping always helps engage the hind end and make em think about where to put their feet, so it's a great change up for some fun in the week!

Horses are horses . it's us humans who decide to give them labelled categories
@@pixie706 The horse's conformation and genetics definitely play a part, too, although it's not as detrimental as some people make it out to be.

He tosses his head at the end, so proud of himself! Lovely horse, great job.
tossing the head usually doesn't mean the horse is proud but rather confused or frustrated... i may be wrong though... ;)
@@pilatesfitinbalanceYou are wrong.
@@pilatesfitinbalance You are wrong :)
@@pilatesfitinbalance you are wrong that mainly means they are fresh, excited, or happy!

He was a Hunter/Jumper in his past life, he jumps so perfectly for a horse that’s barely jumped in his life!! ❤
He gained more confidence as he went along, definitely some jump in there! Better with more power in the canter ❤
He was amazing. It's really good to have horses try new things, this gives them new challenges and ways of thinking, it gives them confidence. I'm so happy for you two :)
He really does have a good jump in him! And he judges the distance to the jump well, which is important too. Not every horse does this.

Such a happy horse
I think all horses are natural jumpers but whether they like it and will willingly do it is something else. Keep having fun, that what it is all about.
I had a 14.2 hand Morgan that was a jumping machine. 4 + feet easy peasy. And super smooth going over. Built a cross country course in the woods. Fabulous man!
I love morgans sm
Oh yess pls. A jumping lesson video 😍😍
He seems to really enjoy this and he did it very well. Matt, you seem to be a bit interested in jumping. Maybe start with Chase again? A little bit of variation for you and who knows you might end up as an eventer😉 giving Jesse a heart attack at every XC.😅 Life is short, should do everything that brings joy to it...
very cool, he looked like he was having a blast! what happened to you training Chase to jump?
Aw so good to do differant things with them! Variety is the spice of life as they say!
I am quite sure that he would not have stopped, if you had built it easier for him. The distance between the fences should have been 1 to 3 strides, so that he always comes to the second fence in a perfect rhythm and not has to think about if his strides match the distance. It is easier for the new horses to start with one in-out and then one or two strides to the next fence. It gives them more security. A long distance between jumps gives a horse too many different possibilities, and he is not experienced, so it overwhelms him.
Beautiful horse I love his coat and his tail just gorgeous
🙌 What a great time! The setup was just fine for trying a new exercise experiment ~ and I'm soooo here for a new series pursuing Etro's adventures! Btw... ilysm.❣
Etro really seemed to be enjoying this. Even when he refused that high jump and bumped into it, he didn't panic. I think he just needed a better look at it. You could up the aesthetic with some colorful scarves and a heavily feathered piebald cob lol. Jesse really should get a vanner to do liberty work with, they'd be gorgeous together.

You did it right - no hesitation - and than finish the training!
A jumper at heart for sure ... he figured out the distance and the stride in no time, he is incredibly clever and makes a beautiful jump.
Hunter jumper here, he is so cute!! He makes a super cute shape over the fences and he has the perfect body (lol) for hunters!
I think don't push him much higher but he's definitely got great form- plus jumping always helps engage the hind end and make em think about where to put their feet, so it's a great change up for some fun in the week!
