Walküre Unruh It’s the sweetest thing. He is so used to being kind and responsive to horses that he does it automatically to the simulator. What a beautiful guy, Matt too.
But when riding bareback it is even more important to have a good seat... if anything it's responsible of him to make sure he doesn't hurt his partner(s). Although based on his videos it looks like he's doing a great job at taking care of them obvs
They're so fun, theres one at my college that mark Todd gifted us, (naturally, it's called charisma) it does dressage showjumping and x country, the dressage mode is so smooth
These simulators are great in learnng about matching your core body movement to that of your horse. Jesse and Matt makes staying centered look easy. Nice learning tool if you have one around.
Jesse you have nothing to worry about. Your riding is very good and natural. You always look like you are at one with the horse when you are riding. Glad you made the film. Have missed you !
I know I am three years late , I recently found your chanal and I absolutly love your work with horses. you are natural with them. Jesse, if you read this, please note that I am 55 years old and I strated riding in my 40's i.e very late rider. I learned so much from you and Matt. I love you guys. Keep up the good work.
Jesse is one of the most beautiful riders I’ve ever seen. His natural talent is outstanding. After 27 years in the Household Cavalry I do appreciate a talented rider. One thing that I loved which shows Jesses beautiful nature when he patted the wooden horse. ❤️
Jesse ur still perfect to us. Don’t worry 😉. On a serious note this was seriously interesting to watch and learn. Love the banter between matt and Jesse x
I happened to run across you post a few months ago. I AM NOT a horse fan , but I've learned so much about something I thought I had no interest in. If I were younger I would take riding lessons. I really liked your honesty on looking at those two horses but had issues.
It's never too late to start, my dream was to showjump,I've started being 15,which is already a quiet late age to start riding,but now I'm 18 and i can absolutely participate in jumping competitions
It’s never too late to start riding! I was the first in my family who was interested in horses and startet at 6, my parents started to get interested too and started when they were 50+
It's never to late to start! Personally I started riding before I started walking... yet I have riding classes with people who are >40 years old and some of them started just recently. It's such a rewarding activity, don't let a number stop you ☺
Thank you for posting this Jesse! I didn't know such a thing existed. It looks like the perfect way to help me carefully transition back into riding again after recovering from fracturing my spine last year.
I tend to put more weight on my right sitting bone when I'm not concentrating on it. Fortunately the gelding I care for is quite sensitive to that and he always makes me aware of it ;)
Jesse your videos over the year are proof of your riding skills profiting for show riding is nice but you have a natural riding skill -you are one of the best!! That simple
I have this issue, and I had it before I started riding when I was 5, I don’t think a chiropractor would help too much with it. It could help some, but it won’t fix the issue.
Thanks for showing little clips of my favourite horse Renaissance Thyme, the clips are of Charlotte using Rennie in a demonstration series. Rennie is one of our Canadian horses. I have always loved this horse and never miss a chance to watch him go at the shows.
This looks like a lot of fun and I would love to do this because u could practice ur seat and posting and stuff and not having to worry about steering ur horse
I enjoyed this video! I also want to mention that Jesse was learning about the simulation WHILE he was testing. Where as Matt had the benefit of KNOWING what the sensors were checking and could really concentrate while he was testing. BUT STILL lots of great information and feedback while using a mechanical benchmark.
You guys are hilarious! Love the comment that "he's good at everything", LOL! You both are very talanted riders - lovely, quiet hands, nice seats, we are all works in progress. Love your videos, guys! Fun to watch!
Funny is that I saw this video last year because I was curious about horse simulator... Why I didn't stayed for longer I don't know but I'm happy that youtube suggestion gave me your and Matt's videos again :") And Jesse, you are such a good rider. A machine will never be able to say it, because connection between the rider and a horse can't be stimulated by the computer. It's something more. And you definitely have amazing connection with horses 💖
She is exactly right about the pelvis being misaligned if your stirrups are different lengths I had a tilted pelvis and my left leg is 1/4 inch shorter than my right the last time I adjusted my stirrups I was a hole length different..I also have a herniated lumbar disc and I carry more weight on my right side. I'd love to get on a simulator to see just how much my riding posture has changed in the last few years, I used to ride almost daily just hacking but now I don't ride at all due to my back needing surgery.
I did a project in commercial art in high school (graduated in 1980) that was a model of a horse simulator gym . To be fair the one time we went to visit my mom’s family in Italy on a ship there was a horse simulator in the ship’s gym. I can’t remember if we were 2nd or 3rd class (I think second) but it was definitely a luxurious experience especially considering that my mom was born in 23 and adopted WW2 thrift all her life. Wonderful many course meals , movies every day, swimming pools if the ocean wasn’t too rough plus no jet lag. “Michelangelo “ on the way to the continent, “ Leonardo Da Vinci” coming home. Both have gone to the scrapyard. They actually looked like ships, not bloated floating hotels. Saluti, Matteo!
I don’t agree you should have same length stirrups if your legs are uneven. I had a knee replacement. Before I did that leg was shorter, now it’s longer because the bad knee had torn ligaments and was loose. Mow it’s longer. The crucial thing is for the stirrups to feel even when you are centered in the saddle.
Is no one going to praise the woman analysing their rides. She is spot on! Lot’s of us think it’s our legs that are the problem, but often the errors arise from the spine or the pelvis….the SI joint causes a lot of subtle imbalance in our seat that eventually our horse compensates for and then may become uneven too….it’s very complex. This simulator is useful for human error analysis…just remember some how on a live horse we become a team as we grow and learn together.
A pessimist will see their flaws or failures as a weakness or embarrassment. An optimistic will be thankfull for them because it keeps them humble and striving toward something. Life would be pretty boring if we were instantly perfect at everything. The reality is you will never be perfect which means you will always have an opportunity everyday to get up and do something. We should always be thankful we are alive and healthy enough to pursue our dreams. A day will come for all of us that due to either age, illness or death our opportunities will end. Enjoy them, be thankful and respect the time you are given. 😁
Matt's comment on the broken leg hit home, because I have a fused ankle on the left side, and the fibula and tibia were broken in multiple locations thanks to a drunk driver, so I knew my seat was way off when I was still riding. I do wish we had some facility like this in New England, as it would be much easier to diagnose seat problems. My question would be, though, why both Jesse and Matt seemed to end up with lower back pain after using the analyzer.
Towards the end of the second one he was on the dot performing the trot perfectly 😂😂 and no one said anything I was watching the video like YES JESSÉ U GOT IT😂😂
I think most riders are kinda crooked in their pelvis. I have about 2,5 cm hight difference in my pelvis bones/femure and so I also ride with styrrups (is that correct spelling? 😅) on different lenght. I go to a back specialist, but I always end back crooked.... 😑
Teri I have like a huge problem with that lmao, I feel like my right leg longer and because of that I always lean too much towards the left because I feel like I’m sitting too far on the right of that makes sense
Hi Jesse! Can you and Matt do the yoga challenge? That would be so much fun + yoga is really really good for the body. It helped me with lower back pain. It is almost completely gone now. Try it!💕💕💕
I think horse riding simulators can give you an idea but they are quite inaccurate because horses have their own way of doing things and a machine is completely different. But that’s my opinion on it. It does look quite fun though 😂
How many want to see Matt get on the same simulator? It is all fun to see the shortcomings in others, but Jesse put it all out for all to see, YOUR TURN MATT!
I’ve ridden a dressage horse simulator and it was so cool !! And I’ve found out that this equestrian centre near me has a jumping horse simulator which would be so cool to try
Hello ! I'm french and I don't watch the english videos because I'm to bad in english 😂 and I don't understand everything 😅 (I'm 13) but it was a good video and a good experience for me ! Did you like it ?
This is very help full. I did notice in the shots of his back. That he does ever so slightly put a bit more weight into his right side. Other than that beautiful riding!
That was really interesting! I would love to try that and see how the tempi's feel and other Grand Prix movements! And it would be very interesting to try doing a half halt on Otto ;-)
I think there’s a lot of movement that can’t be duplicated. After all the simulator is a solid bock of something (fibreglass?) and a horse’s spine moves in 3D. Still think it would be useful if you couldn’t ride regularly. The eventing trainer my daughter was a working student for was sponsored by Voltaire and they gave her a “smart saddle” which had all kinds of motion and pressure sensors which would collect all kinds of information about how the horse moved over a jump and if the rider regularly got off kilter. Don’t know if they thought it provided useful info (my daughter is out of the paying for the privilege of working like a dog and finally eased to vet school. When I was a student (graduated in 1990) the novelty was a huge force plate you could trot horses on and it would record any gait abnormality. What the clinicians stressed was that a bad shoeing job could make a sound horse look lame. Don’t know whether the converse was true.
@@adrianashilling2573 That's all very interesting! Yes, those working students sure get worked, don't they? ;-) That smart saddle sounds interesting, there's one vlog I follow where I notice her horses always land on the wrong lead over fences and I think it has something to do with her own balance being somewhat out of whack (she's also stronger on one rein than the other), so something like that saddle may indeed be helpful information. Good luck to your daughter in vet school!
@@traceyhewison1185 I was fortunate to take several clinics from eventer Ralph Hill and spent 3 months in his barn after finishing vet school in 1990 (best carefree vacation I ever had since I had a job lined up and, as I was the only applicant I was able to stipulate starting after Labor Day). Ralph was a wizard in giving you a fantastic warm-up and he was all about picking up asymmetry in horse and rider and using flatworm exercises to encourage straightness. I’ll have to quiz my daughter on how useful they f d the info from the smart saddle. Another veterinary device that is probably about 15-20 years old is the “lameness locator “ which involves gluing several transmitters on the horse (one was on the poll , another on the point of the rump and several more. This gadget gathered information during a lameness exam and gave you a printout which would hopefully confirm your clinical findings. One equine orthopedic surgeon said he used it a lot more than he’d expected. My daughter learned a lot as a working student and also saw all the latest therapy options to keep horses doing their job. She was in the very ritzy horsey area close to DCin VA and I saw some vet bills that were truly jaw dropping. Tuition to the University of Life I guess.
@@adrianashilling2573 I'll have to look up this Ralph Hill, I'm Canadian (out West) and not as familiar with the US riders. But I agree, staightness is so important and continually working on it is important, right from the beginning of the training scale and all the way through up to impulsion, straightness and collection. I love hearing about all these gadgets the vets have at their disposal to help with diagnosis!
@@traceyhewison1185 Ralph had the cord for most consecutive years competing at Rolex (almost 30) . His last outing some 10+ years ago he had a bad fall which has left him with very poor short term memory. He still teaches (I think that’s in his DNA by now and is still really funny. I peaked at training level and felt a great kinship with the composer Salieri in the movie Amadeus when he absolved all the mediocrities in the world. I walked around the course when my daughter was getting ready to do her first 1star (what’s now 2*) and I realized why I had stopped at training level. One of the big pluses of my daughter’s working student stint is that she got to ride the trainers horse who had gone around Rolex clean 3 times. His top tier career was over but he could sti do prelim like a walk in the park and I knew he would take care of her. Gadgets are nice for lameness but there is no substitute for a good eye. I work mostly on small animals and my daughter is way better than I am at picking up subtle lamenesses. In VA they use the same vets that take care of our team horses and they’ll be saying “I’d like to see her half a grade better” while I’m think “looks pretty good to me”. Greetings to Canada. Your evenintg teams have been superstars I. Recent years.
I rode a simulator in XC at a fair. I am not a jumper except occasional fun cross rails to break up lessons......I rode better than some of the other actual jumpers that tried it prior......weird right?
1:08 He touches it like a real horse, thats so cute
Walküre Unruh It’s the sweetest thing. He is so used to being kind and responsive to horses that he does it automatically to the simulator. What a beautiful guy, Matt too.

A man that can ride a horse bareback without a bridle, doesn't need this, you ride perfectly and it's a beautiful site to see. just saying!
But when riding bareback it is even more important to have a good seat... if anything it's responsible of him to make sure he doesn't hurt his partner(s). Although based on his videos it looks like he's doing a great job at taking care of them obvs
Can't confirm that from actual experience. Thats maybe romanticizing things too much.
This is just to help make sure your seat is good 😄
@@autumnleaves4879 bareback pad?? mabye
It really hurts the horses back tho
I wish they had these installed in gyms 😂 I'd use this machine over the elliptical

They have the best friendship...
We all have that one friend that´s good at everything. Meanwhile I am here looking like a cow on wheels.😂😂🤷♀️
Matt acts like he is good at everything... honestly a little annoying at times.... Get on the simulator and let's see how he does in reality...

Am I the only one who has a big smile while watching the video?

I did as well ....😁
Always!!!!!!
smiling like an idiot… glad nobody is watching me :D
Can you make this with showjumping?😀

I am laughing out loud in my room. Jesse is loveable.
Love you guys! Your English is getting much better, Jesse. Don't let Matt rib you too much on your mispronunciations!
Jesse, I would give anything to be able to ride like you. You have such natural talent and a wonderful seat!💛

plus horses love you.

No chiropracor but physiotherapist yes. The latter study Medecine.
He's always showing us new ways to get a better experience for ourselves and our horse.
I cracked up when the horse did the first stop, and Jesse did the little rider's salute to the judges!
If you guys have leg length differences (left leg longer than your right) then going to a chiropractor can help. Great video though guys 💝
Yes indeed, most of the time its a problem in the spine.

Lower back pain could be the result of bad shoes where the soles is to hard. And also tight muscles, then yoga can fix that.

Great to see Matt finally got his licence saughted lolol but looked like alot of fun just another learning tool for you both
What fun. They even left in a downbeat sounds. Love these. That was informative.
It’s a good idea ........
But you have multiple horses for a reason. When you have ridden one for too long you just ride a different horse 😂

That was really interesting! I would love to try that and see how the tempi's feel and other Grand Prix movements! And it would be very interesting to try doing a half halt on Otto ;-)
I think there’s a lot of movement that can’t be duplicated. After all the simulator is a solid bock of something (fibreglass?) and a horse’s spine moves in 3D. Still think it would be useful if you couldn’t ride regularly. The eventing trainer my daughter was a working student for was sponsored by Voltaire and they gave her a “smart saddle” which had all kinds of motion and pressure sensors which would collect all kinds of information about how the horse moved over a jump and if the rider regularly got off kilter. Don’t know if they thought it provided useful info (my daughter is out of the paying for the privilege of working like a dog and finally eased to vet school. When I was a student (graduated in 1990) the novelty was a huge force plate you could trot horses on and it would record any gait abnormality. What the clinicians stressed was that a bad shoeing job could make a sound horse look lame. Don’t know whether the converse was true.
@@adrianashilling2573 That's all very interesting! Yes, those working students sure get worked, don't they? ;-) That smart saddle sounds interesting, there's one vlog I follow where I notice her horses always land on the wrong lead over fences and I think it has something to do with her own balance being somewhat out of whack (she's also stronger on one rein than the other), so something like that saddle may indeed be helpful information. Good luck to your daughter in vet school!
@@traceyhewison1185 I was fortunate to take several clinics from eventer Ralph Hill and spent 3 months in his barn after finishing vet school in 1990 (best carefree vacation I ever had since I had a job lined up and, as I was the only applicant I was able to stipulate starting after Labor Day). Ralph was a wizard in giving you a fantastic warm-up and he was all about picking up asymmetry in horse and rider and using flatworm exercises to encourage straightness. I’ll have to quiz my daughter on how useful they f d the info from the smart saddle. Another veterinary device that is probably about 15-20 years old is the “lameness locator “ which involves gluing several transmitters on the horse (one was on the poll , another on the point of the rump and several more. This gadget gathered information during a lameness exam and gave you a printout which would hopefully confirm your clinical findings. One equine orthopedic surgeon said he used it a lot more than he’d expected.
My daughter learned a lot as a working student and also saw all the latest therapy options to keep horses doing their job. She was in the very ritzy horsey area close to DCin VA and I saw some vet bills that were truly jaw dropping. Tuition to the University of Life I guess.
@@adrianashilling2573 I'll have to look up this Ralph Hill, I'm Canadian (out West) and not as familiar with the US riders. But I agree, staightness is so important and continually working on it is important, right from the beginning of the training scale and all the way through up to impulsion, straightness and collection. I love hearing about all these gadgets the vets have at their disposal to help with diagnosis!

Ralph had the cord for most consecutive years competing at Rolex (almost 30) . His last outing some 10+ years ago he had a bad fall which has left him with very poor short term memory. He still teaches (I think that’s in his DNA by now and is still really funny. I peaked at training level and felt a great kinship with the composer Salieri in the movie Amadeus when he absolved all the mediocrities in the world. I walked around the course when my daughter was getting ready to do her first 1star (what’s now 2*) and I realized why I had stopped at training level. One of the big pluses of my daughter’s working student stint is that she got to ride the trainers horse who had gone around Rolex clean 3 times. His top tier career was over but he could sti do prelim like a walk in the park and I knew he would take care of her.
Gadgets are nice for lameness but there is no substitute for a good eye. I work mostly on small animals and my daughter is way better than I am at picking up subtle lamenesses. In VA they use the same vets that take care of our team horses and they’ll be saying “I’d like to see her half a grade better” while I’m think “looks pretty good to me”. Greetings to Canada. Your evenintg teams have been superstars I. Recent years.
You guys are so funny! I liked that test! Didnt know that there exist horse simulators in the world😂👍🏻👍🏻
I swear Everytime I watch You My Friends ship you and matt
Helmet??!! 🤣🤣
omg i need this in my backyard shed, Would be great to have in gyms too.
Can you please do a FULL HOUSE TOUR. Thank You!!💕💕
so does it feel like a real horse??
That is so cool! I did an equisimulator and did a XC course. Definitely weird but helpfu! (whole video is on my channel if anyone cares 😂💀)
Love your videos! ❤
My barn has a “trotting simulator” and a “cantering and galloping simulator” they are amazing and teach you so much
Jesse! You make me laugh! I love watching
7:32 How can it accurately measure things if the whole saddle is slipping to the right? Or is it tilted due to a certain canter lead?
Not a rider but I noticed that too.
I rode a simulator in XC at a fair. I am not a jumper except occasional fun cross rails to break up lessons......I rode better than some of the other actual jumpers that tried it prior......weird right?
Very cool training device. Would be nice if you could let us know what they charged for a session
