WOW! Lukas is so cool! I would think a horse could be that smart! Having six years to teach Lukas must be an amazing experience. I don’t know about you, but Lukas looks like he could be the world’s smartest horse! I can’t BELIEVE that he can spell his name with letter blocks by touching them with his nose and count to five at sixteen years old! The owner must be so proud! I wish that he could visit us at our school because it would be bizarre! He is an extraordinary horse! I really would like to see him play catch again because that was a mind-blowing moment! It was so funny when we saw him do peek-a-boo with his owner! I’m going to share this with loads of people. Well, I can’t wait to see next weeks show!!

Dear NewsDepth,
From Appaloosa to Zhemaichu, every horse is unique.  However, I was quite impressed by last week’s story regarding a catching and counting horse, who also saddles up to spell his own name and identify shapes.  I admire the patience and commitment offered to Lukas by his trainer, that eventually caused him to become the “World’s Smartest Horse.” Although, I do believe that he and Karen Murdock will need to jump several fences before Lukas learns to add and subtract!

I like this story because it told you so much about Lukas being able to spell, count and play peek-a-boo at his age, it helps too, that I like horses.
