This video is by a man who talks about finding a pamphlet describing the "smartest horse that ever lived". He researches the story, which then becomes a book, and is supposed to become movie. Very touching.

Thank you for sharing this video, SevenFeathers. I enjoyed it very much.
It's touching and uplifting, and a fine peek into old time reality. I really hope there will be a film made out of this story. I think it deserves the widest possible audience.
Yes, it is a very touching story. I look forward to reading the book. I came across this when I needed a lift (after reading all the bad news of the day) and it certainly gave me a spark that not all is bad in the world.

Great and surprisingly touching and uplifting story, thank you. I saw this yesterday and it came to mind:
Looks like the story has already been made into a children's book in 2011.
Wonder Horse: The True Story of the Worlds Smartest Horse
The blurb on the book says:
This is one of those times that I wish my niece, nephew and god-children were still littlies, sounds like a good book to read to them!
I think I'll still grab a copy for when they have kids.

To me, the story is mainly about what an extraordinary person Bill Key was. That man had a great soul and his life was an example for others. I just got goose bumps when it came to the part about his association with the humane society and how he, via this great horse, inspired millions of children to pledge to treat animals kindly. It was kind of a quantum leap or something in awareness for much of society.

What an extra-ordinary story! It shows us there´s no limit for the wonders we might be co-creating when coming in touch with our deepest reality and chosing to honor it with our truest potential.
As I´m saying this, it also reminds me of all these groups (actually rather small) protesting against killing and eating animals, and here is another huge reality shift I´m experiencing when thinking about the enhanced effect those pamphlets would provoke in these people nowadays, and the elites behind them wallowing and taking advantage of "innocent" people´s mindset they themselves are anchoring and promoting on all medias.

Very cool story! I’ve spent a lot of time with horses, and I think many of them are capable of learning to do the things Jim Key could do. They are much more intelligent than most people believe. Horses are rarely given the opportunity to show how much they can learn. If we believe horses can be this intelligent, and encourage it, they do rise to the occasion.
Alexander Nevzorov in Russia has trained his horses to do similar things. Many of his students have trained their horses this way as well. I’ve seen a video where Nevzorov asks the horse questions about a photo, and the horse answers by picking up letter cards and placing them together to spell words. Nevzorov wanted to show how intelligent horses really are - what they are really capable of. Here is a video of one of Nevzorov’s students with her horse. She asks questions and the horse spells out the answers.

I believe there was a C's session where the idea was put forward that 2D graduates to 3D through interaction with 3D. I haven't been able to find again because some of the search terms are too short for the search engine and I couldn't remember the exact words that the idea was framed in.
It seems that since life is a school and all is lessons, then that transition could be assisted through what we teach our 2D friends.
With that in mind, one of my mentors says that the first thing you teach an animal that you wish to train is how to learn because once you've taught it how to learn then what you can train it to do becomes more flexible because the animal learns to problem solve. He writes an article about it here.
In any case, I wonder if this means that the soul of this horse will be a precocious reader and mathematician in it's first 3D incarnation?

It seems that in these two cases, especially Jim Key and Bob Key, the horse was able to become special because of the kind human involved. If not for Bob, Jim would have been just another horse. They had a special bond.
