The Smartest Horse That Ever Lived - A True Story

If you like the Netflix series "Heartland" you will like this story.

The story is true. I spent more than a month checking it out in Tennessee and elsewhere. The book is called Beautiful Jim Key by Miriam Rivas available on Amazon. I am not on horseback rider. But I have been given the opportunity to do several films with people who love and understand horses. Magnificent animals they are. And I have met people who have worked with the intelligence of horses and they all agree that Jim Key could very well be completely true. I love animals as many of the viewers of this video to and deeply admire the unique Bill Key for all the things he did to make Americans aware of animals and especially horses as sentient beings. The movie I describe is not yet a reality but I hope someday it will be. Investment money is what is needed and is, as most of you know, very hard to get

The owner of Jim Key was a brilliant man, originally a s***e who educated himself and became a veterinarian and helped found the ASPCA. Yes, it is a remarkable book. My sister bought me a copy earlier this year . . . well worth the read. I live with 9 horses and they're so smart. They learn all the things you don't want them to, like unlocking gates and letting their friends out of the stalls so they can go graze in the pasture together.

Extraordinary and I believe it is true...but what does it say? We have similar in humans, like Einstein or Leonardo da Vinci. Rare exceptions. It reminds me of that Shakespearean quote from Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." ( Religion included.)
- Hamlet (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio. I personally know this to be true from my life experience.

I’ve found that animals live up or down to our expectations and how we treat them.

I’m going to look for that book.
