Lady Wonder's trainer, C.D. Fonda, raised the horse on a bottle. The horse was trained to operate a device consisting of levers that activated alphabet cards.[3] The psychical researcher J. B. Rhine investigated the horse and concluded that there was evidence for extrasensory perception between human and horse.[2] However, the magician Milbourne Christopher investigated the horse and noticed that the phenomenon was the result of cueing from her trainer, Fonda. He determined that Lady Wonder only answered questions correctly when her trainer was aware of the answer. According to Christopher "Lady was trained to move her head back and forth above the board bearing the letters. When she was over the right lever, a slight movement of Mrs Fonda's stick cued her to lower her head and touch the proper lever."[4] Skeptical investigator Joe Nickell wrote that the Lady was "a well-trained animal, not a telepathic one."[3] See also
