How to Teach a Horse to Pick Up a Hat

Teaching a horse to pick up a hat is easy, as horses are naturally mouthy and tend to pick things up with their mouths. Teach a horse the "hat" command with helpful advice in this video on training horses.

What a happy video

[@Helix1396]

He said in one of his videos that he doesn't care if someone takes his videos and uses it. He doesn't do it for money.

Very helpful!! My hats always fall off while riding. What about teaching a horse to "smile"? I know it's a silly trick but I'm working on teaching my gelding to now.

thiswas a year ago so iassume you taught it by now :)
incase not you can teachhimto"give kisses" by holding a treat near your face
then when he knows that have him ina pen or somewhere out of reachslightly and ask he should"smile" tryingg to reachyou forkisses treat then and use a slightly difrent cue
for me kisses is hand pointingat my face andsmile is finger in the air :)

the horse looks way to mouthy. not trying to be negative but that stuff leads to nibbleing then eventually biteing....
