Follow on Google News | Playing With Lukas Book ReleaseWorld's Smartest Horse Book Available Now
By: Karen Murdock Comparisons of Lukas to Beautiful Jim Key, the smartest horse ever to have lived, abound. Lukas is currently honored on both Yahoo and Google with the title of "World's Smartest Horse" (living) with over seventy four thousand references to him on Google alone. The popular Thoroughbred has many media friends who have made him an internet sensation over the last six months. Kim Miller of Riding Magazine wrote, "Lukas is a poster boy for the potential of all horses, especially those facing bleak circumstances." Murdock's system has the advantage of incorporating and complementing two major areas of learning: that which the animal does on his own and that which we can produce. By combining two teaching styles - clicker training and shaping - the effectiveness of the schooling is magnified tremendously. The former refrain "Horses are not supposed to be able to do that" is now expanding people's perceptions of animal capabilities and emotional qualities and new ways to approach training. A fascinating glimpse into the world of horse intelligence and behavior combined with the triumph of overcoming extreme hardships makes Playing With Lukas one of the most important contributions to the study of horse training and horse-human interactions available. Playing With Lukas can be ordered at www.lulu.com as an e-book or a print version. End
