Beautiful Jim Key – The Educated Horse
Beautiful Jim Key was a Standardbred x Arab stallion, foaled in 1889. He was owned Dr William Key who was a self trained vet and former slave.
Jim was hand raised as a foal by humans which probably led to him being more sensitive to human behavior than the average horse.
Beautiful Jim Key demonstrated unexplained abilities in reading, writing, mathematics and spelling. He could also apparently tell the time, sort mail, use a cash register and answer a telephone.
In addition to the above already remarkable skills Jim could allegedly debate politics and cite passages from the bible.
For approximately nine years Beautiful Jim performed in world fairs and expositions. He broke box office records and won praise from leaders such as Booker T Washington and President McKinley.
Jim was market as the ‘Smartest Horse in the World” and his value was said to be more than $1,000,000.
Mim Eichler Rivas wrote a book about Beautiful Jim Key in which she talks about how he influenced thousands of children to be kind to animals. Further research has also been done that will hopefully result in a documentary or feature film being launched about Jim in the future.
Jim Key was touted as an ‘educated horse’ but there are other horses which are marketed as ‘psychic’. In addition there are people who claim that they can communicate with horses via psychic horse whispering. You can hire a psychic horse whisperer to visit your barn or stable yard though come will do a telephone reading if required.
