Featured Video: Catch!

When people talk about teaching their horses to do tricks, they usually mean their horse can bow, or “count” by pawing the ground, or maybe do some liberty work. We’ve even seen horses play soccer. But this might be the first horse who can reliably catch on command.

Horse Illustrated Facebook community member Beth Codling shared this video of her talented horse, Betsy, showing off her catching skills, and it is super cute.
