For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Ed it was a sitcom about a talking horse that ran from 1961-1966, but pre Mr. Ed (1925) there was another famous horse named Lady Wonder. Originally called Lady her owner noticed that the horse would often come before she called her and wondered if she could read her mind. By the time Lady was 2 years old she could spell words using blocks with letters on them, when Lady correctly predicted the winner of the Demsey-Tunney boxing match rumors of the mind reading horse spread. In 1940 LIFE magazine included her in part of an article on ESP. Lady could also do basic math and tell time. Lady lived a long remarkable life, dying in 1957 at age 33.
