"Take the spurs off" "But I'm barely going to be touching him" "Good then you don't need them" Jesse you're an absolute legend

Yes, Jesse! Standing up for your horse. No need for spurs.

You two are very different riders on totally different horses.. you both excel in your own style.. Jesse don't ever feel that you're an inferior rider to Matt because you most definitely are not.. 😍😍

Matt: “you see what I mean about my heel?” Jesse: “NO” 😂 I love Jesse and Matt, both amazing riders just with different techniques🙏

Jesse is so cute! No on my horse! NO SPURS! I totally agree with you Jesse. No matter what Matt says that was a great ride and a beautiful horse. They looked good.

“ then be creative “ Jesse is an absolute legend never seizes to make me 😂

Antares to Matt "Am I extra?.. or are you basic?".. 🤣🤣.. just couldn't resist that one 🙂🤣

Jesse is gifted, he is one in a bazillion riders, that rides with the type of connection that is rare with all the horses he rides, Matt is dedicated to his riding and is about improving his skills, and has alot of qualities that make for him to be really accomplished someday. . . . . I think the difference between the 2 is that Jesse is having fun, Matt is a perfectionist

I loved this video. I loved seeing Jesse kind of put his foot down with Matt for a change. I also am impressed that Matt capitulated. I didn’t know he had it in him. All in all, not only is it great to see the guys working with the others animals. It’s nice to see how their partnership works, and realize it’s more balanced than it may sometimes appear to be. Bravo guys! 👏👏👏👏👏💚

Jesse, I love your style of training. You are gentle & encouraging. You work with the horses natural movement & personality. Instead of trying to force him into a movement he doesn’t naturally make. You work with your horse as partners. You will go a long way with your technique.

i loved that you stood your ground with the spurs, and i loved the way you told matt 'if you wont even use them you also dont need to wear them'

I LOVE Jesse standing up for his horse, very sound reasoning against using spurs. Spurs aren’t necessary. Antares moves so beautifully.

Haha first time i see Jesse stand his ground 😅. No my horse, my rules 🫣😊. Love this funny videos with you and Matt. Did you guys tried the neckrope with Chace or gonna do that? O wait i just found a video from 3 years ago, gonna watch it now 🤭

You can tell Matt is too used to spurs. I spent the whole video crying out "heels DOWN Matt!" 😂 proud of you for holding your ground and saying no to spurs. Your horse your rules, keeping him happy!

There’s sass and then there’s Jesse sass. Love it!

Matt can put on such a POUT! I love that Jesse insisted he remove the spurs and try riding a new way….change is GOOD Matt!! Being out of your comfort zone is when you learn about YOURSELF. Lots of love to you both and all the animals at your home!

Spurs - tossed. Lol Jesse.

Matt and Jesse fighting like an old married couple. I love it!😂

I cracked UP when Jesse threw the spurs LMAO good on you for being assertive about what is OK and not OK with YOUR HORSE 👏🏼

Literally you're one of the most inspiring people i've seen. your care for your horses is so admirable!

Jesse’s giggles are the best. And Matt was such a good sport. Good boy, Antares. Really enjoyed this. 😉

Lmaooo Yall bicker like my friend and I - “Don’t come in here like Anky” 😂😂

Just as Matt struggled with Jesse way, Jesse struggled with matts way. Doesn’t mean one is better than the other just people have different ways and disciplines. Both perfect in your own discipline 💗

“I just would like you to get on, not like come in here like Anky and fix everything” 😂🤣😂 you two always crack me up with the banter lmao

It's great to see that no matter how great of a rider you are, as soon as you're put on someone else's horse that's used to being ridden in a different way you feel like you you're learning the basics again

I think he took the flying part of a lead change literally, and I LOVE IT! Antares is adorable.

Excellent explanation regarding when you ride my horse you do as I ask and when I ride your horse I will do what you ask. Exactly!

The difference in the horse without the bridle was obvious. He moved more freely and he was really happy. His whole demeanour was happy.

Antares knew that he had a non-believer on his back...how funny! Great video.

Antares is a true fairytale horse 😍 he is so wow, and has such softness and sweetness. Kudos to you Jesse 🙏 I think Matt will benefit from loosening up a bit, Antares is a fantastic teacher for that 😊

Good for you Jesse for not allowing anyone to ride your horse with spurs. There’s no way that you’re an inferior rider to anyone! Can I just say, riding on a neck rein only speaks volumes for your riding ability. Just be true to yourself and your horses Jesse, that’s all you need to do. Thank you for sharing.

Matt hands over the spurs, and Jesse immediately throws them away lmao. That was priceless. Good for Jesse for being firm, and for Matt giving a more natural ride on a strange horse a try. I think I remember a video years ago of him riding Annie with a neck rope and she just went like a runaway train, so Antares was very well behaved. Thank you for this great video, it's always interesting to see both of your riding styles.

Jess, thank you for sharing this great video. And Matt thank you for being part of this. I think it was a great way to show people that even though you both own, ride and train horses, everyone has a different way or method. So again thank you and hope you 2 have a great weekend. Best always Rusty ♥️

Love Jesse's approach to horsemanship.

I agree with the spur situation. Ever since I was younger and started riding, I was always taught to use the inside of the calf. As I started working with even better professionals in the industry they talked about and described riders that would use their heel and just spur for almost Every aid with everything they’re doing with the leg. My instructors would always teach to use the calf and not the heel or rely on spur for everything. If it was supposed to be a heel aid or a spur all the time, it would be called a heal aid not a leg aid. Your calf is already nicely positioned and in contact with your Horse’s side and always right there ready to give an aid. You do not need to rely on just the spur or bending your knee and using your heel. Using the inside of your calf makes your aids that much more quiet and invisible, Long as you are positioned correctly and using your aids correctly And your horse is trained to be on your aids or in front of your leg.

Jesse you are an amazing natural rider. You make it look easy but I know it’s not. Very few people are gifted like you.

😂coffee like an adult. Oh Jesse you’re Hilarious ❤

Jesse is an old soul you can tell the way he is telepathic with his animals beautiful 😍 🤩

It’s the throwing of the spurs for me 😂

Love this video so much! From throwing away the spurs, to Matt’s reaction to the “extra” lead changes! 😂 I laughed so hard I had tears! Love both of you guys! Cheers! 🥰

Jesse always makes me smile. Phenomenal horseman who knows how to listen to his horse

Jesse, I love how sweet you are with your horses. It’s so darling.

This is great! Get Matt out of his comfort zone! And it was a positive experience for all. You've done such a nice job with Antares, Jesse! Also a real lsugh too see the differences in riding and opinions between Matt and Jesse!

Omg I almost swallowed my tongue when you put wings on Matt’s spurs ✈️ 😅

Antares has a natural beauty about him and his gait. I believe he is a life companion and will do anything for Jesse. Kudos to Jess for putting his boundaries into play.

It's super to see you both! We see humour, Matt's advice, Jesse's positive attitude and Antares, so cute and sweet. Each rider has his/her own rules, so NO SPURS for Jesse who will respect Matt's rules. They are both excellent riders and they have different ways of training and riding their horses (goals, character, horses are different). Thanks to both of you for sharing this great video. 😍👍💙

You guys could have your own sit-com. The Bickersons 🤣

Good on you Jesse for not accepting spurs on Antares! He's your horse and you know what he needs and can handle better than anyone. Matt is a great rider with a different style but sometimes it's good to switch it up and try something different.

Much respect for you, Jesse. I stood up and cheered when you made Matt take the Spurs off. And you have worked wonders with Antares. Outstanding Equestrian!

Seems like Jesse had an ulterior motive-to help Matt get over his fear of neck rope 😂

OMG. I liv luv the Change. Laughed so hard. Adorable!! Sooo cute

Good for you Jesse sticking up for your horse and not allowing spurs to be used. Riders can become so reliant on artificial aids that they struggle to ride without them. Stripping back to basics will make you a better rider and give you feel. I have to say that I enjoy videos far more without Matt in them these days, he seems so genuinely unappreciative of other people’s goals and great achievements. Absolutely love watching your videos Jesse, don’t ever change, you’re an amazing horseman and a great teacher.

Looks like Matt is really depending on his spurs. When he said "otherwise I'm asking everything with this" I thought, yeah, that's how you're supposed to do it? The spurs don't replace your regular leg aids! He could really benefit from leaving them off from time to time.

Whoop Whoop, go Jesse! Great to hear you standing for your horse! Fun to see you work together this way. Lekker bezig.

matt: spurs jesse: get behind me satan

This horse is such a pleasure to watch: confortable in mind and body, relaxed, powerful...wow!

Antares - you gotta love him! Instead of doing the Spanish Walk... Antares says "that's baby stuff - I'll show you the Spanish trot!" It was such a beautiful floating trot! 👍 I 💖'd his ears at the end - flat out sideways... as if to say "I have NO idea what these two are doing!" 😁🤣😆

Wait, what??? You broke him in yourself? This firey, unmanageable stallion (before gelded)...? Sweet, gentle Jesse? Ya got a lot more guts than it appears! 😃! Usually a harrowing task most men avoid because it can be so dangerous! Yikes! 😳😱 Can't help but have lots more respect for 'The Little Prince', with the heart of a lion!!!! 💥🌞💥!!! 🥰👏👏👏

Watched this video again. Still laughing. 😅 Matt “what’s happening “…you guys are just the best !!!!

It’s so hard to let someone else ride your horse! I admire you both. 🥰🥰

I like how he stood his ground about the spurs, being a good example for people watching that you don’t need to give into the pressure to use methods that are harsher than you’re comfortable with 😊 And i agree, spurs are just a way to cheat your way into looking more effortless. If someone actually feels like they absolutely need them, it probably means that they have unresolved problems riding with the horse. Although i’ve never touched them myself so what do i know, but i bet it’s the same for any tool to harden the physical pressure. Matt clearly didn’t need them either, and that’s always cooler and more impressive than needing them.

Jesses horse. Jesses rules. 👏👏🌟🌟

Jesse, I love how you seem to make all decisions on the basis of kindness to the horse, your training includes such kindness also!

love the neck rope riding, its interesting how freer the horse behaves in its head and neck area without the bridle yet still executes the moves asked of it a beautiful horse and love watching your videos

Jesse is like a dad watching his child during dance lessons! I love it so much❤️❤️

😯..... when Jess threw Matt's spurs .

Beautiful, gentle assertiveness, Jesse. Way to protect your horse.

I LOVED IT when you threw away Matt’s spurs!! Lol ❤❤❤❤❤ Bravo! A man like my own heart 💜

It's amazing to witness no bridle! This was enjoyable, thanks for sharing.

I have been around horses all my life and you are absolutely amazing with horses. I am sooo impressed

I love how much you adore your horse, Jesse. So sweet!

"What is happening?!!" "He's just being really EXTRA!!" 🤣😂🤣 OH Matt! Good for you for trying (even if you were just a teensy bit reluctant! 😉💛). Jesse, way to stand up for your principles! And well done Antares!! Two very different riding styles and he coped wonderfully!

love how you tossed them damn spurs lol would do the same x3

Jesse has so much kindness and love for his horses

Antares is such a beautiful horse and an especially great prancer (trotter). Thanks Jesse and Matt, always enjoy sometime with you and you're lovely animals.

😂 the start of this is brilliant! I really like Matt but very honestly, I always preferred your riding so I like that you are like “no, my horse, my way”☺️

I love how calm he handled the no spurs

Best horseman: Jesse Drent!! Imho. ❤️🥰😢

Matt and Jesse, you’re my favourite people to watch❤️ you’re both amazing horsemen

Those flying changes had me in stitches 🤣🤣

I love Antares ears, they are really "speaking" 😄

Super cool to see the quality, freedom, and cadence of the trot increase so drastically with the neck rope!

"Well, if you can't whistle then you're doomed..." LOL

I love how u just threw the spurs lol😂

" You can't just come in here like Anky . . . " Ouch! 😁

. I loved seeing Jesse kind of put his foot down with Matt for a change.

Matt, aren't you a bit too critical today? A bit of a drama queen. Jesse you follow your horse's needs, moods and desires. Not fixated on this is the only way. Flexibility is the key to success. This is the same for humans and animals. Great work Jesse.

I'm with Jesse in this little argument in the beginning 😀

It was great! I love how you stand up for your horse. Matt is great, but he seems to be a bit bossy sometimes! Don't feel like you're not an as good rider as him, because you really are! You're both amazing, just different techniques!

I really love how you had him take off the spurs for your horse. You're the best!

Ok, the changes may have been a little extra, but they were really entertaining. It was like watchin someone learning to drive a stick shift for the first time.😆 Antares apparently has a manual transmission not an automatic

That was really cute. I think you can always learn new aspects, and Jesse and Matt demonstrated that perfectly. Antares is such a sweet horse, such a pleasure to watch him.

Jesse I love how much fun you have with your horses, you are such an inspirational rider/trainer. Please never change we need more people like you in the horse world 💜

I love how you train your horses Jesse. Very much according to their own strengths and working with their unique body. I really admire you ❤️

Love how you stand your ground Jesse, with Matt and your horse...here ..here...

Jesse, Antares is so flashy!! Please! And.... you are an amazing rider! Very inspirational!

The way Jesse summed up the experience was perfect.... thank you to both of you... it must be very interesting to watch your boy being ridden by someone else.... another perspective that you can't experience when you are the rider...Nice!

"Coffee like an adult" Jesse, you are my spirit animal :P

What a nice video again. I always enjoy those with the interaction between Matt and you, and the horses of course 😊

So much fun! Your discussion about the gallop changes 😂 Actually Matt really doesn’t look that big on Antares. Antares looks amazing - and his trot! 🤩 A Little bit of Trauma might have been connected to the neckrope for Matt 😅 So interesting to see how different both of you are riding!
