1. What a beautiful story of love and compassion for a horse.

I hope more people learn about this man and his talented horse. Amazing!

2. I am looking forward to this movie. A while back I posted a back story on how influential this

horse has been over human's progress to compassion. Here it is again: "Over a century ago, at a time when our nation was at war over a belief in slavery, it was the love and compassion shared between a man of color and his horse named Beautiful Jim Key which motivated citizens of all color to change their negative beliefs and negative behavior for a collective and positive social purpose. Beautiful Jim Key sparked an interest and then a movement, a movement that launched not only the animal rights movement of today, but the child protective movement, as well.

All because of one horse."

4. There's a movie?

I'd be very interested in that.

Here's another clip I pulled up that has some good additional info. She wrote a book on him.

Horses are amazing creatures
