LUKAS Accepting Proposals for Rose Bowl Parade Co-Entries and Sponsors Will the World's Smartest Horse Wear Flowers?

CHINO HILLS, CA, March 22, 2011

Lukas, the World's Smartest Horse (according to the World Records Academy) and Guinness World Record Holder, will be applying to participate in the famed 2012 Tournament of Roses Parade! The illustrious New Year's celebration is expecting a viewer audience of over 54 million from more than 200 countries, with multiple television networks covering the festivities. Karen Murdock, Lukas' owner/trainer, is seeking sponsors and equestrian groups to join the internationally known gelding for the prestigious event.

According to Murdock, "This is a very exciting opportunity to give huge exposure to products and services in front of a record audience. Lukas will be appearing on behalf of second chances for those in need." "Furthermore," adds Murdock, "Lukas' happy presence and positive message blends well with any business strategy and will definitely enhance all types of marketing plans." Viewing at the Equifest (pending committee approval) before and after the historic parade will include public appearances by Lukas and planned media exposure.

All interested groups and sponsors are encouraged to contact Murdock directly. Every proposal will receive a response, and candidates will be selected based on an application process designed to create a spectacular and unforgettable presentation.

As for wearing flowers, although the popular gelding has been known to wear a hat or two, he's put his hoof down and draws the line at a boutonniere.
