“Meet Lukas the wonder horse, who’s so clever he can recognize 19 numbers, count on command and fetch and sit like a dog. Owner Karen Murdock adopted the failed racehorse ten years ago, a bag of bones through neglect. ‘I’ve always loved horse-riding and I wanted to be able to jump and compete at shows,’ she said. ‘From the start, I could tell Lukas was intelligent, he worked out that it was much easier to go around the jumps than go over them.’ She quickly realized Lukas was more interested in learning than leaping and set about training him how to obey simple commands.” w/ photo + video
