Was there any doubt?! Emporio is perfection. I can't wait to see some babies. And the fact that he asked you and reassured you that you will sell lots of emporio essence shows what an exceptional boy he is and how well you take care of him. Congratulations, I hope we can see some of his babies!
Youâd be surprised. The Spanish grading is tough. They really want to preserve the breed. Seen many not pass the grading. They measure EVERYTHING. And if something is even half a centimetre off of their max/min for the breed standard, it doesnât pass. Some are lucky, if itâs young enough, itâll grow and can be regraded. But if your horse is already fully grown - no grading. No grading = no registered offspring.
He's Beautiful, well behaved..good job with him.
So..what breed is he.?
You said a quarter horse and Emperio can hardly wait to see how that baby looks. I love his mane down it is beautiful and such a beautiful tail.đ€©đ€©đ€©đ€©
Jesse can hold a poo catcher to keep that tail clean
Beautiful stallion.
Dear Matt, I have never had a horse, but I have always had very long hair. When I was a child, my mother would always start brushing my hair from the top down. That would cause pain when she would hit tangles in my hair, but she just kept brushing through in spite of my tears. But, someone told he that she should start from the bottom & work her way up, & that not only worked through the tangles more effectively, but it reduced my pain considerably. And, it's the only way I brush my hair to this day. As you were brushing Emprio's tail, I noticed that he jumped when you hit a tangle, & I know that you adore him & wouldn't want to cause him the LEAST little bit of discomfort. If you start from the bottom of his tail & move up, not only will it work better, it will be more comfortable for him, & at the end, the brush will just glide through the whole tail!
Yess i thought the same thing!
I noticed that to! It's also faster if you start on the bottom, starting from the top pulls the tangles tighter
@marniesutton so did my mother. I have very thick and curly hair and as kid it was a nightmare being brusht. I can tell you Matt, it hurts like hell! Entagle bottom up is better!
Amen to all of that @ marniesutton9553 , I had really long hair all through school and, five decades later, I still have!
When i startes riding as a soung child they taught us to hold the part we wanted to brush and then go up, so if we aciddantly jerk it would be stopped by our hand. 15 years later itsbstillmso deeply integrated into my habits that i dont even notice doing it
Emporio was such a well behaved boy. He looked stunning! Your calm, cool energy Matt really helped Emporio be the best he could be. Congratulations to you, Jesse and Emporio!!!!
"I think you have a 6 pack in your fingers" absolutely cracked me up! đ€Ł I was thinking to myself, "Good lord how are his hands not hurting?" And then Jesse said that. đ
Matt moving the tail when he started pooing was goldđđ
So sensible and calm with that measuring stick being waved around 100% for temperament!
Emporio is a beauty. His temperament is what impresses me the most.
Congratulations! I am really impressed at how well he behaved. No neighing, no stepping all over you. I'm not surprised he passed, he's a really beautiful horse.
Emporio was so good when he was being measured. Did you see the look in his eye? It was like, "Can't you see I'm a champ, do you have to measure?"
Emporio is looking STUNNING lately†Congratulations on being a breeder Matt!
Well that was FUN going along with you and watching a new process in the horse world! Congrats đ and let the babies begin!
His neck is simply perfection. Such a lovely temperament, too.
I know horses that have shown their entire lives that wouldn't have stood as well as Emporio for all of those measurements! He is a wonderful representation of his breed and should throw some magnificent foals. Congratulations and good luck!
Emporio is such a stunning stallion, I'm so excited to see some of his foals next year.
The neck and crest on that stallion âïž
Matt! Heâs perfect, heâs so amazingly tempered and well behaved. Iâm so happy for you! â„ïž I also love that you break it down to us
Such a well behaved gentleman
Absolutely beautiful video. He is so gorgeous and so wonderfully behaved. I was nervous watching the person measure him as I was feeling a bit panicked about the measuring stick being near Emporio and he handled it so calmly. Congrats Matt. â€â€
Emporio is so white now. And I am very impressed by your plans to breed him. You have really branched out since I first started watching you. Do you think you might get a mare or mares of your own and produce your own foals? I seem to recall Jesse's fondness for foals. Anyway, I just love your videos.(More unstable please.)
Iâve always loved the baroque type horses. Heâs a beautiful but his temperament is amazing. I look forward to watching his career.
He is so beautiful- that coat is really impressive! I like his personality - very intelligent
He really is a gorgeous boy, you are fortunate to have each other
Congratulations. I remember being at one of the first revisions in the US with my stallion. It is exciting, stressful and such a learning experience.
Thank you for sharing, that was a fun story to see :) Emporio is so handsome and was just glowing!
I can not wait to see the future babies! I'd personally like to see some hair type crosses with him, more unusual breeding like a Friesian x or Gypsy x :) HAh! You never know it could be amazing! :)
Well done Emporio Matt & Jesse - congrats this is so exciting for you all đŠđș
Congratulations to you and Emporio for your hard work! Emporio is looking totally amazing and so proud; it makes me so happy to see! Can't wait to see what you two do next and what kind of foals he sires!
I'm waiting to hear that Matt will take Emporio back into competition to add performance value to his stud record. They did so well in their first show (only one I can find), it seems a shame to spend all the time and expense to train Emporio, then no show him.
He values good training over ribbons. Ribbons come later â€ïž
I don't think Matt has ever expressed that he's against competing with him, but that it's not the main priority, as he wants them both to be ready skill wise and mentally. I think that's wise, Emporio is still relatively young, has a long potential competition career ahead, but that can get set back or ruined by bad experiences before he's ready. Also, ultimately, Matt has plenty of other platforms where to show Emporio and his skills off too, he's less dependent on shows than many others.
@@nofakk0 Good points... thank you.
His attitude is very admirable, and it's the only way to be if you truly love your horse(s).
Magnificent stallion! Your talents, knowledge and patience is amazing!
Emporio looked so alert, intelligent, and his moves are beautiful! Healthy and alert. I think he knew what was going on. Congratulations!
I guess we all knew he was perfect in every way, but congratulations Matt.
Congratulations, Matt, on getting him approved. He's a stunning stallion, and I had no doubts that he wouldn't pass!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn đ đšđŠ
There are tail "bags" for travelling show horses .Not sure what they are actually called but they do keep tails immaculate
Emporio has perfect confirmation
Conformation, as he conforms to the standard for that breed. đ He is magnificent, isn't he?
Emporio is THE STUD anyone would be lucky to further his prodigy! Iâm sure when Emporio was lunging he was LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!đŠđșđ€©đŽđ„°
He did so well, you too Matt. How lovely
Emporio looks stunning as alwaysđ„čâ€ïž I believe his future offsprings will be just as stunning as himđđđâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđ„čđ„čđ„č
He's so gorgeous
He's looking beautiful â€
Super interesting to see how they measure the confirmation for the breed. So thrilled at the outcome and share your joy at having a good eye when you purchased him. I'm quite sure that you researched the breed to death before you began your search. Kudos for always trying to do the proper & best thing with your eqestrian endeavors. Look forward to watching both your & Jesse's journey going forward. I will be along for the ride!
I can't wait to see Emporio 's offspring. If they're any thing like dad they will be gorgeous! Well done Matt your hard work is paying off, he looked beautiful in the sunlight after the arena. đđđ¶đ
First let me congratulate you, I know the excitement of getting your horse approve, as I am a breeder, and it is such a joy every time a horse gets the ok as a breeder. Since you are planning to sell semen, let me suggest to you, use your horse official name, that way people can actually look at his bloodline. I was searching for Emporio, and could not find him, until I saw his real nMe on the passport. You have a very spacial horse, congrats.
he's so beautifull! How could anyone not want babies from him đđđđ
He's just magical.. Truly a work of art and a credit to you Matt.
So exciting! He is absolutely the pinnacle of the PRE standard, and they proved that! Also, can you bring us along on the breeding adventures (genetics are so interesting)?
You have a very sweet boy who is not only handsome but very well mannered. If he passes on these traits to his babies, thereâs going to be some amazing babies brought into this world. I wish you all the best in your journey.đđŽđđ
So, it is kind of like a confirmation class? He is an absolutely gorgeous! I always love seeing your vlogs and I love how both of you love your animals! Horse people are the greatest!
It reminds me of how I was so proud to get my dog's Canine Good Citizen certification.
It was great to hear that Emporio scored so awesome as a physical too
Its so wonderful you two support each other, such great friends!đâ€
Soooo fascinating!! Thank you, Matt and Jesse, for taking us along!! Emporium is gorgggđ„°
NEVER A DOUBT đŠ I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE SOME BABIES đđœđŻđČ
Congratulations! He IS a 10! Thanks for sharing a 'behind the curtain' view rarely seen for many of us! : )
Congratulations... I remember when you went to purchase him. U should be proud, he is beautiful...
What a special moment and new beginning for you and Emporio! You beautifully prepared him looking just terrific.
Have followed your journey from the beginning and you've come a long way Matt. Always have soo appreciated your respect for quality no matter what you do.
Looking forward to all that is in the future for Emporio and I'm quite sure he is on the cusp of the beginning of a brilliant legacy. Enjoy every moment! Many thx for sharing...
Matt, Emporio is absolutely perfect, Jesse is a pretty good catch too. đ€Ș Congratulations on the approval.
the best image is picturing Jesse riding Emporio - picture perfect. the prince and his royal steed. âș
Jesse is indeed a perfect catch! â€
Congratulations he was so well behaved for a stallion a great asset for off spring
Congratulations, he's truly magnificent! â€đŠ
I really enjoyed everything about this video and learned a lot. I appreciate how you brought us along to watch you do something you've never done before. Congratulations, Matt - I'm looking forward to seeing how your future journey unfolds with this incredibly magnificent beast!
Absolutely stunning, takes my breath away!
So Exciting ! He really is a Stunning horse! Perfection!
Congratulations!! Well done! I love videos like this where you take us with you to do these kind of things, I wouldn't never get to see the process otherwise lol.
How exciting!!! Big congrats! I saw you posted on FB for his seed!
Thanks for showing and explaining this process. Emporio looks great and did great. Congratulations on the approval.
Congratulations! Exciting times ahead for you guys!!! â€
Emporio is so beautiful and calm. Thanks Matt! đđ
Congrats Matt! Cant wait to see offspring!
The braids look awesome!!
â€đ€ So proud and happy for you! Congratulations! đ Loved this whole vid and looking forward to babies đ đ
He looks absolutely stunning â€
Congratulations and well done! Emporio is so beautiful, I can't wait to see his offspring. I hope you find your new happy home soon, and the fields become full of frolicking mares and sassy foals.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey, always a delight. đ
He is stunning!! Congratulations!!
Congratulations Matt !!! I can't wait to see his baby's he Produces , I kno they will be Gorgeous. đđđđđđ
So happy for you! Emporia is going to help create some sensational horses!
Such a beautiful horse !
Congratulations!!!! Thank you for taking us with you on this journey. Emporio in the sun is stunning. His role in the pasture was the best. When are you going to show him again??? đđđ
This is the only temperament that should stay stallions! People keep pretty psychotic horses as stallions and breed them to pretty psychotic mares to create gorgeous but unstable horses. He reminds me so much of a stallion I learned to ride on as a 7 year old because he is so calm and well behaved
Congrats Matt & emporio đ
Exciting times ahead... look forward to watching this new journey đ â€
Congratulations! He's such a gorgeous animal. You deserve to be so proud! Great job!
Congratulations! Lovely confirmation of his quality. Very exciting! Look forward to seeing his foals. đ„°đđđ
He's beyond fabulous, like a fairy-tale stallion ridden by a prince!! Congrats to you Matt for bringing him thus far and perhaps giving other breeders the chance to own a foal with Emporio's amazing characteristics. Lucky people! â€â€
Emporio is such a handsome stunning beautyâïžA special One and Onlyâ€ïžAlways so proud to be with you and like to show up his beauty. Looking forward to see his coming offsprings and how it will be. I know that you will choose well which mares will be approved to have Emporios semens. Big Congratulations for getting the certifications for breeding Emporio!đđđ»Nice to hear and to be comfirmed that he is perfect as in breed and it will get many interested to using him as he holds the standard it looking for.đđ» That is very excellent!đAs you said a new world opens up in breeding and lots of things to think about. Itâs going to be fun, much to learn and very excitement.
If long mane and tail are a mentioned attribute of the breed, best tactic for a stud book classification test would be to leave it all loose. The Friesian stud book is much more strict, stallions tested and judged yearly, in hand, under saddle, and in harness. Also loose in a big yard to see natural movement. A Friesian stallion does not reach full studbook status until the age of 10.
Oh, mane out! So I was right. Also I think the tail should be long, trimmed level with the fetlocks.
Greetings from Australia.
Spanish stud book is a joke lol, they accept anything as long as there is money or fame involved.
That is amazing about the friesians. I like to see working stallions, able to socialise and also do a job, while having longevity. That sounds like a good system to asses those traits. This weekend we parked beside a lorry with two stallions. They were impeccably behaved even in the show atmosphere.
I'm so pleased for you a great new adventure for all of you đ
He looks like he is taking a shorter step on his left hind after the trailer but after he moved he looked good. Nice looking horse. I think it's good for a horse to move freely and not always be pulled together. Congratulations!
STUNNING
Congratulations!!! đđđ He so well behaved, for a stallion, you have done such a wonderful job with him, you should be very proud! Thank you for taking us along, I really enjoyed watching!â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
I really enjoy watching Emporio and all his adventures.
He is a truly majestic stallion.
I appreciate your channel and how yoy explain everything going on. I'm learning so much.
â€
He was wonderful during all of measuring. Heâs so beautiful Matt. They donât pay attention to how he lunges, only their natural gait for the breed. I think heâs going to be very tired in his future with all the breeding. Iâd love to have a cross with emporia and the quarter horse. My favorite breed
Those two breeds were bred for completely different tasks and therefore have a very different exterior, different movements, different bodies.
I personally don't think that would be a cross that makes sense.
Quarters for example are supposed to have as little knee and hock action as possible, and are not bred for collection, but for flat movements, whereas PRE's are supposed to have a very upright posture, lots of knee and hock action, and are bred to have lots of collection.
If you breed such different traits to one another you risk to get offspring with traits of both sides that don't go well together, even possibly causing the horse physical problems.
No hate, just my to cents from working on breeding facilities for almost 40 years, some of them as breeding manager and consultant. â€
@@nozee77 That makes perfect sense and it's what I suspected, although I have no breeding experience. In general I strongly disapprove of any horse breeding, whether it's done out of interest (which basically means it's done just for fun), or for money, because there are already far too many horses. That creates the situation we now have, where there are millions of unwanted, neglected and abused horses. But I guess somebody needs to do some breeding, to preserve the breeds, or they would all die out, and I believe that Matt will be as responsible about it as he can, within the constraints. I hope he will be very choose who he will sell Emporio's semen to.
âââ@@cattymajivI partially agree with you on that topic.
If breeding is done very responsibly and carefully, I am ok with it, I mean, it is part of my occupation, but your arguments are very valid nevertheless.
I have to say lots of breeders are either not educated enough or just don't care to educate themselves.
Instead they are 'breeding' very large numbers of horses, to hopefully get one or two that are what they hoped for them to be. The rest... well... they are still there, but depending on which country you are in, they either end in kill pens, on horse transports, or, if they are lucky, find a loving home.
Luckily not all breeders are like that of course, but ignorant (and/or greedy) people are everywhere...
Lots of examples out there at the moment, showing the harm irresponsible breeding can cause. Speaking of deformed vertebrae in the lower neck area, causing neurological problems, and so on and so forth...
I am so happy for all three of you! Emporio looked amazing and behaved very well for this being such a new experience for him. The man doing the scoring was right, his build is REALLY popular(and definitely a dream horse for myself) I can't wait to see the little ones he produces! đ©· Congratulations! đ
Congratulation and good luck with your program. I look forward to follow the future of this.
So exciting. Congratulations!
More things I learned from you and Jesse about the horse world. My expertise is currently self taught on a small ranch. Very minimal. Thanks for your wonderful videos. Keep 'em coming.
Yay Emporio! Also excited to watch mare shopping in the future
Congratulations! You, Jesse, and your horses are all just wonderful! Please never loose your humble attitude. It's one of the most attractive attributes you have, and it's obviously genuine. I would hate to see you ever become arrogant, like some people do, but I think and hope that that is not a part of who you are. All the best to you and Jesse from Canada! â€
Congrats! Emporio is truly beautiful
WOW his mane is fabulous,,, he is such a gorgeous boy,,,â€â€â€
Well congratulations and you're doing everything to help Emporio reach his maximum potential.
I've always heard that the true test for a horse is that they produce offspring greater than
themselves. Cannot wait to see some of his foals. I also hope that you would one day want to
purchase a broodmare. Or in the very least get a surrogate. How exciting for you and congratulations
again.
Absolutely stunning!!!â€
So pleased for you, Emporio is simply stunning â€
Yay!!! Congratulations đŸ heâs so stunning â€
Congratulations, canât wait to see the foals â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Heâs a beauty! Congratulations!
