Welcome to PaintingHorse.com For your viewing and reading pleasure, we offer the following:
Art in Collaboration Since 2004 I have been collaborating with my horses to create what I call 'interspecies collaborative action art.' My horses paint with brushes in their mouths and I choose the colors, brushes and direct the canvas. During this time we’ve appeared at festivals, horse shows and art shows. I’ve written articles for magazines both here and abroad and we’ve been on national TV. Watch my herd of painting horses on The CBS Early Show:
How in the world do you teach a horse to paint?

Before I could answer this often-asked question
with any authority, I had to make certain that
Romeo, a formerly troubled Paso Fino and my first
painter, wasn’t a fluke.
We then we welcomed
Juliet,
a bold and curious Paso Fino mare, who seemed
to learn simply by watching Romeo.
Shortly
after that we found a sabino pinto gelding
suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
We thought teaching him to paint would help him. It turned out that DaVinci learned
to paint before we could even touch him.
And
if three painting horses weren’t enough, I
really wanted to see what a yearling could do.
As luck would have it we acquired not just any
yearling, but a Clydesdale yearling! Raleigh's
zeal for painting tops the other three.
