I've lived in Shelbyville, Tennessee for over 25 years. Had no idea about either Dr. Key or Jim until i came across this doc some time ago. I'm now almost 41. No one I've ever met around here, no matter the age, has heard of them either (of the folks I've asked, that is). Dr Key is indeed buried in the cemetery on Lane Parkway, the grave is fairly easy to find. Jim is buried at the back of someone's property on the left almost as soon as you make the turn onto Himesville Rd from Old Tullahoma Highway. If you pass New Hope Rd you've gone too far (it's the road right before, assuming you're coming from Shelbyville). Thank you, Mr. Skinner, for bringing to life this grand tale once again. God Bless You. Edit: Also, Shelbyville Is the "Walking Horse capital of the world". Not sure where the race horse info came from, but it's incorrect.
Ok I have to admit I was not going to watch this one since I am not really interested in any smart horses but I am glad I did. This was a fascinating video. Thank you Jerry for your amazing story telling and all of the hard work that you do researching your videos.
It's slightly different from David Hoffman's video on the subject. That one claims he earned money playing cards to buy the Key home and other businesses
Simply wonderful Mr Skinner! What a lovely story that proves love will always overcome unkindness. It was great to be able to hear about the beautiful Jim Key and those who cared for him. Again thank you
I've known of the history about Jim Key, the world's smartest horse, and you do such an awesome job telling it, like all the others that you've done! Worth the share too! 🐎💕
A Real Americana Story From Our Past! David Hoffman, A Filmmaker who ALSO has a video on his channel of Jim Key as well....his video is called "Beautiful Jim Key: The World's Smartest Horse"...and his journey into discovering The Wonderful Story is well worth the "trip" to his channel. A wonderful job as always Mr. Skinner in telling this story as only you can do! Thank you for sharing this with your Fans! Cheers From Ohio
What a wonderful video and tribute to a real hero and friend. And I am speaking about Dr. Key. Beautiful Jim was a very fortunate horse to have suck a caring and loving owner who knew how to train without pain and brutality towards animals. I wish the people who mistreat animals could be treated likewise!!!
Thank you again Jerry. What an amazing story about Jim Key. I have always been kind to animals and took this story very close to,my heart. I always said, I think I love animals more than some people. They are nonjudgmental and full of love. Thank you for this documentary, please keep em coming Jerry. Stay well, Augie and Jill Blase 🤠
What an incredible, lovely, uplifting story! I did not know anything about Jim Key at all. So glad to have you tell us the story in your own unique way with that special southern charm! Thank you Jerry!
What a magnificent story. Thank you for sharing it. I had a connection with my first horse like this. I love that horse. I have 6 right now. Very young, looking forward to working with them all.
oh so beautiful story I have to cry thank you very much MR.Jerry Skinner and happy Christmas and a New Years to all your Family and Good Bye see you next Years.
Spent many an hour on The Natchez Trace between Natchez Jackson and Vicksburg in my Wilder years.. Great as usual Mr.Skinner MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS Mr.Skinner
It is said that...Horses are Noble animals....I truly be believe that is the case...Thais a beautiful video Jerry...Thanks my friend for all of the work you do bring things to the for front such as this...!
😢 such a beautifully told story ❤ I wish i were so talented & especially loved. 😔 My love to you, Beautiful Jim ❤ I'm glad life was better to you❤ love forever
Jerry, I've watched many of your videos but this one was the most heart warming! Thank you for sharing. Everyone should know about this wonderful man and his equine friend.
What a beautiful story of a man and his friend; Yes, I too believe in being kind to animals, when I hear such terrible stories of animal abuse and cruelty, I will chose to remember Dr. Key and Beautiful Jim Key. Thank you so much Mr. Skinner for sharing this true story with me. ( US)
WOW!!! Thank you, Jerry, for another outstanding video! I've been wanting to go along on one of your road trips for a while, and this came at just the right time.
This video was especially touching. I had a wonderful, wonderful horse Axel who was as smart as any dog I ever knew. He was incredibly beautiful too. He died almost one year ago. Dec 22.
Your story about the fine Doctor Key and "wonderful Jim Key" brought me joy. Very sweet an tender I love people that love animals. Sad all the bad luck with his wives. God has a special place for people like Dr. Key. Thanks Jerry.
Wow thank you Mr skinner. This is so true that kindness can create miracles. This man knew it before science proved it. The end made me cry as I've spent the last 20 years rescuing injured animals didn't matter what kind placing them in homes after they've had what we call affection therapy and seeing their lives Blossom has been the greatest gift.
I am one. Not as significant as actual people who have the aura surrounding them. I have rescued dozens of stray cats, where most of them have found their way to me. Along with their kittens, and being pregnant. I taught one of our dogs canine sign language. Animals at zoos have come up to me where a zoo worker mentioned that certain animals have never gone up to the fence line to interact or visit with human visitors. I visited a neighbor once, where I encountered her pet cat. The neighbor said the cat dislikes strangers coming into the house. I sat down, and the cat came over to me, jumped in my lap and sat down..lol. I told my neighbor when I first came in the house, I saw the cat and told her she was so pretty, maybe nobody has ever told her before. ;)
What a great story. And it took only 17 minutes. I knew it would be impossible to stop the video when I pushed the start button because it was from Jerry. You found your calling in life like Jim Key did.
What a beautiful horse. I would love to know why William Key didn't use Jim for stud, since he was so smart. Not surprised to hear this, horses are very smart, and my dad always said how intelligent Arabian horses are. Thank you for sharing this.
Great video Mr. Skinner. Love watching your channel and really enjoy watching your videos. I have always found your stories very interesting and informative.
One thumbs down on a documentary about a horse ? Pathetic and sad little no life person. Jerry, informative and interesting as always good sir. Thank you for your time and effort in making these. Jerry you are something all to rare today. A true troubadour. Master of storytelling, entertaining and teaching all by this combined masterful stroke ! I doff my chapeau.
I'm very familiar with this true amazing story! It brings a tear to me glass eye...arrghhh! ") We just don't live in a world where these kind of incredible stories are possible. Not slavery obviously, but the story where an unlikely bond between a horse and a poor man with all odds against him and how they lifted each other up and in doing so lifted up the entire nation at a time when the country was sorely in need of a wonderful heartfelt story which appealed to all people of all classes and backgrounds. These were the precursor to movies and movie stars, only this story has real people, real history and an incredible real story the likes of which Hellywood is incapable of making these days, and at a time when the nation feels as though it could crack open and destroy itself at any moment. Not so long ago, when I was a boy in the mid 60's children were still allowed to be CHILDREN!! Adults didn't act like lunatics freaking out because someone voted for a person someone else doesn't like, and they have no idea why they don't like him, they're told not to like him and therefore they dislike him! I watched "Herbie The Love Bug" at the theater in Sudbury Ontario one summer with my older brother while we were spending the summer with our Unkie Frank! Unkie Frank was Dad's buddy from WWII. They both served aboard the carrier HMS Illustrious during the war, and both fought through horrific battles. You would think that would have given them an excuse to be angry and out of control at the world, but the exact opposite was true. They knew the the true cost of freedom, they somehow managed to live through the war floating in a huge tin can thousands of miles from friendly shores and having bombs dumped on them from above thanks to the Luftwaffe! They knew "freedom" was not "free" They knew the cost of freedom was blood! And so instead of being bitter and enraged, instead of going on pills and booze, they embraced life, they were peace loving men, and both tremendously powerful, very well built and not from weight lifting, rather, from hard manual labour. They loved life they helped anyone in need, they sacrificed for their families, and were the very best roll model any child could even hope for. There were adults at that movie, the theater was packed. Kids and adults alike laughed and had a great time watching that family movie. No sex, no explosions, no foul language, no gratuitous nudity etc etc. We went back to that theater a week later and watched a Western with my favorite actor Clint Eastwood! "Joe Kid" was an awesome movie! Again, young and old were there together and had a great time watching that great western! When I was a boy Disney was pumping out all kinds of classics! Jungle Book, Snow White, Pinocchio etc. At Christmas it was all a kid could take trying to keep up with all the different Christmas movies - Mickey's Christmas, remember Scrooge McDuck? Charlie Brown's Christmas is still one of my all time favorites and at 57 years old I will watch them ALL again! Flintstones have two Christmas specials from that era, then those awesome claymation movies! "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town" with Mickey Rooney doing the voice of Kriss Kringle! Rudolf, Frosty, Scrooge cartoon version... My all time favorite movie bar none is still "A Christmas Carol" with Alastair Sim! Wow...talk about your rabbit hole! I guess my point is this story reminded me of a simpler time when people had a real appreciation for the simpler things in life. When people cared about each other, when boys opened doors for ladies and had manners. Where you didn't lock your house or your car, and when movies had real stories and touched our hearts. We've changed radically in just the 5 decades since I was a small boy growing up in Toronto. Today people are "outraged" and the smallest, most inconsequential thing sets folks off on violent tangents, and everybody's is gonna tear someone apart, and every second word is an F Bomb. Movies have no story, no content beyond unrealistic fights and explosions. Today we're witness to an actual presidential coup attempt in the U.S.A.!!?? When one party lost an election, they used to spend the four year term licking their wounds and trying to come up with a better platform and be ready for the next election! Today you just keep inventing lies and accusations and hope something sticks so you can steal the office! We see the U.N. created the most deadly, wicked, deceitful Trojan Horse in human history called the European Union and they used it to destroy Europe and Scandinavia! This is undone everything millions upon millions upon millions fought and died for! My father and his brothers did not risk their lives and watch their brothers at arms get blown to pieces literally, so some elite arrogant self entitled monster could undo all that sacrifice and turn Europe over to Islam! This isn't an attack on Muslims by the way, it's an attack on the elite globalists who are intentionally destroying Europe, and Western Society so they can finally realise their "One World Order"! George Bush Sr said that term over 200 times during his four year term "New World Order" Anyway, I'll stop now! Awesome story, I do enjoy your narrative and stories, thank you for bringing me back!! Jack Canada ~'()'~
Very well said and so true ! When I was 8 we lived Up State New York in the mountains. I had to push a chair to stand on to use a wooden telephone, were you picked up the black ear piece and you'd have to wind up on the handle that was on the side of the phone then talk to an operator. We had a big round washing machine with a wringer on top. Have things changed over the years. Back then no one pulled 'race cards', kids didn't shoot kids at schools, no guns in churches. There weren't drug dealers and gangs like today. But you have to learn to take the good with the bad to a point I guess. Change will always happen and one has to keep up or be left behind. Going to the 'movies' when I was a kid was a big deal like you said in your comment. We went out to play & knew when the street lights came on we needed to go in, our parents knew where we were. I'm not saying back 'then' was 'better' it just was different. When I visited my grandfather on his farm I had chores and did them happily. I served in the Army & I know freedom isn't free. Then you see the way over paid 'knee takers'...If they don't like the country they are free to move. I got to take care of cows and chickens and horses while on the farm and I think I'll always luv animals maybe a bit more than most folks, animals keep it real, where some folks who knows what they might be up too. We just have to truck unward, be kind to folks and animals alike and treat others the way we would want to be treated till out last train stop comes and the good Lord takes us home. Animals are beyond 'cool', they could care less about silly skin colour stuff and greed, they just want to be treated with love and kindness and the respect they more then deserve and in turn they will love you back.
@@ghostcityshelton9378 Thank You and Bronzesnake for sharing your heartfelt memories, I can barely see to type because my eyes are stinging with tears, I don't have words to express the sadness I feel deep in my heart and soul how this world has turned out to be, compliments of the sadistic psychopathic Satanic demons who have infiltrated every country the world over. God Help Us All 😢
Hey @@yayyay3060 & GhostCity Shelton! So am I right? Do we have three Christians here? You two and myselfish?? We would make a great team! I could see a strong friendship between us, I mean we all have the same heart and soul! Thank you for the kind comments, you're both wonderful people! Jack ~'()'~
Jim Keys grave not too far from my home, I have been there several times...you will find little mementos on the ground that people leave, its so sweet.
*WONDERFUL, Jerry, as always!* I really love watching your videos for us. I'm moving up to age 70 shortly and I remember many of these actors in black and white (which is what all we had on our TVs, to you young-uns!) and your knowledge about all things Hollywood is amazing! Thank you again, Jerry, for this particular video. Big love to you, sir!
You Mr Skinner are my modern History Channel, Discovery Channel... Documentaries as they are supposed to be made. Thank you very much for your time and effort to give us these amazing stories. I wish you all the best and happy holidays. Božo from Croatia.
Once again a fantastic story by Mr Skinner, been with Jerry for years now and still my favourite channel, often repeating a video to help me rest. It is understood by tests done later on in life the horse could tell the slight differences in Dr Keys voice as he approached the correct letters or numbers to choose. Whilst this was unknown to Dr Keys at the time nor did he realise his tones slightly changed in anticipation of the correct letter umber chosen, tests carried out with alternatives the horse did not get any answers correct. This is when Dr Keys stopped. But still incredibly intelligent for any animal.
I had heard about this story but was so glad to see that you, Jerry, made a video of it because I knew you would get more of the details and put it all together beautifully! Thank you! It's such a lovely story but I wonder why so many of William's wives died young! How sad!
How is it that I grew up watching Mr. Ed, and yet never heard this remarkable story? This story could be the next blockbuster! A TRUE story about how a slave gained an education, made a fortune, rescued his former owners, who had been kind to him, and changed how an entire generation - and generations to come would treat animals. This true story could change our lives today, maybe teach us to treat each other with kindness.
This is an incredible story of kindness to animals and the love they return to their human. I’ve never heard of this horse until this day, thank you for telling this story. The next step of honoring this horse and his human is to make a movie of this incredible story! Needs to be made! ❤️❤️
...and we all thought that Roy Rogers "Trigger" ........ and The Lone Rangers "Silver" were GOOD....WOW! :) What a great story and an amazing horse. Thank you Mr. Jim, You DID it again Partner!! :) Herb (Im STILL in Texas, and yes, Ive been leaving here for Mississippi since 1974, but I just cant get it all started! LOL) :)
I've lived in Shelbyville, Tennessee for over 25 years. Had no idea about either Dr. Key or Jim until i came across this doc some time ago. I'm now almost 41.

Unbelievable depth of detail so much it almost feels like I was there simply incredible Jerry
One of the most beautiful story I've ever heard..all the characters in it are just beautiful.
An absolutely wonderful story that brought tears to my eyes...told by a master...fine Job Jerry...👍👍
What a wonderful story of an amazing man and his beloved horse! Thanks so much for this uplifting video.
Mr. Skinner, your stories and soothing voice, are a great way to unwind!
I like watching them
Ok I have to admit I was not going to watch this one since I am not really interested in any smart horses but I am glad I did. This was a fascinating video. Thank you Jerry for your amazing story telling and all of the hard work that you do researching your videos.
It's slightly different from David Hoffman's video on the subject. That one claims he earned money playing cards to buy the Key home and other businesses
I want you to know how much I appreciate and enjoy your videos. They are so respectful and informative. Thank you for all your hard work.
Jerry, your investigative skills continue to amaze me. Keep those documentaries coming.
Another Great video by Jerry Skinner.
Dr. Key was and continues to be an inspiration. His actions of piety, kindness, and forgiveness speak volumes to the end of time.
Simply wonderful Mr Skinner! What a lovely story that proves love will always overcome unkindness. It was great to be able to hear about the beautiful Jim Key and those who cared for him. Again thank you
This was a very heartwarming story it’s wonderful to show people animals are intelligent too and kindness is the best way to handle them always
What an amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing.
I've known of the history about Jim Key, the world's smartest horse, and you do such an awesome job telling it, like all the others that you've done! Worth the share too! 🐎💕
A Real Americana Story From Our Past! David Hoffman, A Filmmaker who ALSO has a video on his channel of Jim Key as well....his video is called "Beautiful Jim Key: The World's Smartest Horse"...and his journey into discovering The Wonderful Story is well worth the "trip" to his channel. A wonderful job as always Mr. Skinner in telling this story as only you can do! Thank you for sharing this with your Fans! Cheers From Ohio
A truly moving history, Mr. Skinner. Thank you.
How wonderful. Why hasn’t this inspiring story ever been immortalized? It would make a great family film.
Maybe they can't find a horse smart enough to play Jim. 😉
As usual, Jerry presented this video with professionalism and his customary empathy. Outstanding presentation.
What a wonderful video and tribute to a real hero and friend. And I am speaking about Dr. Key. Beautiful Jim was a very fortunate horse to have suck a caring and loving owner who knew how to train without pain and brutality towards animals. I wish the people who mistreat animals could be treated likewise!!!
Wonderful story of a great man and a exceptional great horse!!!! Thank you.
Kindness always pays off. Thank you, Mr Skinner, for a very heartwarming story.
William Key is a very kind man to a horse that may had a soul of a human.
Yes it makes me wonder.
Thanks Jerry, I always appreciate your work.
Mr. Skinner, I love your stories and factual details. Thank you for going to great lengths to bring us these wonderful videos. God bless!
Thank you for this video. Such a great story. Only in America

This was one of the best stories ever
I'll never look at a horse in the same way. Thank you
What a beautiful relationship and one amazing horse. A lovely video and a great message, thank you. xx
*Wow! Nicely done, Mr.Skinner. It felt like you were reciting to me. I await your next adventure.*
What an incredible, lovely, uplifting story! I did not know anything about Jim Key at all. So glad to have you tell us the story in your own unique way with that special southern charm! Thank you Jerry!
I had read a children's book once about this horse and his owner, but great to see the full report. Really sweet story.
What a magnificent story. Thank you for sharing it. I had a connection with my first horse like this. I love that horse. I have 6 right now. Very young, looking forward to working with them all.
Beautiful voice and a beautiful story. Hopefully, they will make a movie of this incredible story of care and love.
Beautiful story 💞
An amazing story especially for animal lovers
Thanks Jerry!
He was an amazing horse!
Wow, stunningly beautiful and thanks for sharing it with us.
oh so beautiful story I have to cry thank you very much MR.Jerry Skinner and happy Christmas and a New Years to all your Family and Good Bye see you next Years.
Thank you Manuel and happy Christmas to you and all of yours. Jerry
Spent many an hour on The Natchez Trace between Natchez Jackson and Vicksburg in my Wilder years.. Great as usual Mr.Skinner
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS Mr.Skinner
Yeah I shed some tears at the end. Well done 👍
It is said that...Horses are Noble animals....I truly be believe that is the case...Thais a beautiful video Jerry...Thanks my friend for all of the work you do bring things to the for front such as this...!
beautiful Story both the people and the Animals involved, I wish people would be 1/2 this kind to animals today,
Thank you Mr. Stroud. My heart is warmed by getting to know the Key family.
Thank you mr. Skinner for all of your hard work investigating facts for these videos. You are much appreciated.
😢 such a beautifully told story ❤
I wish i were so talented & especially loved. 😔
My love to you, Beautiful Jim ❤ I'm glad life was better to you❤ love forever

Who, in their right mind, gives this a thumbs down?? This gets my fascinating documentary of the month award. Thank you, Jerry.
Another great story Jerry thanks very much .👍
WOW!!! Thank you, Jerry, for another outstanding video! I've been wanting to go along on one of your road trips for a while, and this came at just the right time.
So many wives and no mention of children. Curious about that. The Dr. was a remarkable man.
He sure was very special.
Lets investigate that? could it be the Liniment? or the sisters?
he slept in with the horse
This video was especially touching. I had a wonderful, wonderful horse Axel who was as smart as any dog I ever knew. He was incredibly beautiful too. He died almost one year ago. Dec 22.
Who ever down votes Jerry Skinner videos ,I don't know,must be something wrong with them.
I agree
Your story about the fine
Doctor Key and "wonderful Jim Key" brought me joy. Very sweet an tender I love people that love animals. Sad all the bad luck with his wives. God has a special place for people like Dr. Key. Thanks Jerry.
What a BEAUTIFUL story!!! Excellent presentation, Jerry, as always!
Jerry, you have an amazing gift as a storyteller. I have listened to so many of your amazing stories, but Jim Key has to be one of my favorites!
Wow thank you Mr skinner. This is so true that kindness can create miracles. This man knew it before science proved it. The end made me cry as I've spent the last 20 years rescuing injured animals didn't matter what kind placing them in homes after they've had what we call affection therapy and seeing their lives Blossom has been the greatest gift.
There are *real* Dr. Dolittles out there if only we knew them.
I am one. Not as significant as actual people who have the aura surrounding them. I have rescued dozens of stray cats, where most of them have found their way to me.

@@catsonly4805 Good for you, "Cats only." The world could use many many more people like Mr. Key and you. ☺☺
Just incredible. Thank you Mr Skinner for this beautiful story.
I don't understand those people giving this wonderful video thumbs down. 💀💀💀
incidentally, our President just signed a law that makes it a felony to be cruel to animals. thank you Jerry. wonderful story. RIP Jim!
What a great story. And it took only 17 minutes. I knew it would be impossible to stop the video when I pushed the start button because it was from Jerry. You found your calling in life like Jim Key did.
I had read about this horse in the past I am so glad someone is talking about this brilliant horse story that is true
I never tire of this beautiful true story.
Thanks for a very interesting video, i had never heard about that horse and owner
Wow that’s some great history thank you for the documentary I’ve never heard of Jim Key and I love horses!

When I was 8 we lived Up State New York in the mountains. I had to push a chair to stand on to use a wooden telephone, were you picked up the black ear piece and you'd have to wind up on the handle that was on the side of the phone then talk to an operator.
We had a big round washing machine with a wringer on top. Have things changed over the years. Back then no one pulled 'race cards', kids didn't shoot kids at schools, no guns in churches. There weren't drug dealers and gangs like today.
But you have to learn to take the good with the bad to a point I guess. Change will always happen and one has to keep up or be left behind.
Going to the 'movies' when I was a kid was a big deal like you said in your comment. We went out to play & knew when the street lights came on we needed to go in, our parents knew where we were.
I'm not saying back 'then' was 'better' it just was different. When I visited my grandfather on his farm I had chores and did them happily.
I served in the Army & I know freedom isn't free. Then you see the way over paid 'knee takers'...If they don't like the country they are free to move.
I got to take care of cows and chickens and horses while on the farm and I think I'll always luv animals maybe a bit more than most folks, animals keep it real, where some folks who knows what they might be up too.
We just have to truck unward, be kind to folks and animals alike and treat others the way we would want to be treated till out last train stop comes and the good Lord takes us home.
Animals are beyond 'cool', they could care less about silly skin colour stuff and greed, they just want to be treated with love and kindness and the respect they more then deserve and in turn they will love you back.
@@ghostcityshelton9378 Thank You and Bronzesnake for sharing your heartfelt memories, I can barely see to type because my eyes are stinging with tears, I don't have words to express the sadness I feel deep in my heart and soul how this world has turned out to be, compliments of the sadistic psychopathic Satanic demons who have infiltrated every country the world over.
God Help Us All 😢

Jim Keys grave not too far from my home, I have been there several times...you will find little mementos on the ground that people leave, its so sweet.
I watched the entire video and now I'm crying. Amazing and touching story.
What a wonderful story! Jerry Skinner is a master story teller.
Yes Jerry you’re Calming Voice. Especially during this Covid pandemic
Thank You. Susan
Amazing! Thanks again!
*WONDERFUL, Jerry, as always!* I really love watching your videos for us. I'm moving up to age 70 shortly and I remember many of these actors in black and white (which is what all we had on our TVs, to you young-uns!) and your knowledge about all things Hollywood is amazing! Thank you again, Jerry, for this particular video. Big love to you, sir!
Thank you very much. Jerry
Such a beautiful story. Kindness to animals existed long long ago.
Absolutely awesome. Jerry you outdid yourself. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story
I saw a video of this beautiful story about 10 years ago and it made a huge impact to my life ❤
I'm glad I found you. Thank you. God bless from OKLAHOMA
You Mr Skinner are my modern History Channel, Discovery Channel... Documentaries as they are supposed to be made. Thank you very much for your time and effort to give us these amazing stories. I wish you all the best and happy holidays. Božo from Croatia.
Thank you Bozo. Stay safe over there my friend. Jerry
Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. I wish I could go there one day and visit the graves. I love this true story so much. Thanks.
Once again a fantastic story by Mr Skinner, been with Jerry for years now and still my favourite channel, often repeating a video to help me rest.
It is understood by tests done later on in life the horse could tell the slight differences in Dr Keys voice as he approached the correct letters or numbers to choose. Whilst this was unknown to Dr Keys at the time nor did he realise his tones slightly changed in anticipation of the correct letter
umber chosen, tests carried out with alternatives the horse did not get any answers correct. This is when Dr Keys stopped. But still incredibly intelligent for any animal.
P.S. I do hope I have not spoilt any dreamy thoughts with the nonfiction end facts, its still incredible
I had heard about this story but was so glad to see that you, Jerry, made a video of it because I knew you would get more of the details and put it all together beautifully!
Thank you! It's such a lovely story but I wonder why so many of William's wives died young! How sad!
How is it that I grew up watching Mr. Ed, and yet never heard this remarkable story? This story could be the next blockbuster! A TRUE story about how a slave gained an education, made a fortune, rescued his former owners, who had been kind to him, and changed how an entire generation - and generations to come would treat animals. This true story could change our lives today, maybe teach us to treat each other with kindness.
This is an incredible story of kindness to animals and the love they return to their human. I’ve never heard of this horse until this day, thank you for telling this story. The next step of honoring this horse and his human is to make a movie of this incredible story! Needs to be made! ❤️❤️
Is a 65 year old school tough guy supposed to get hid throat tight over this vid. Thanks again Mr. Skinner i think this is almost my favorite.
Love your videos buddy. You do a wonderful job of conveying emotions.
What a BEAUTIFUL STORY of Love ❤️❤️❤️
What a wonderful story. Thanks Jerry.

........ and The Lone Rangers "Silver" were GOOD....WOW! :)
