Cheryl Ward has transformed her Florida horse farm into an artist's colony. She taught her four horses to work their magic - on canvas. She says they love to take the brush in their mouth and move it up and down the canvas. Cheryl believes all horses have the capacity to paint, with flat teeth that can easily hold a brush - and she says they love to manipulate objects. Cheryl pours the paint and sets up the canvas, and the horses do the rest.

OMG! That is so cool! My dog may be able to dance but horses knowing how to paint now thats amazing! Hopefully she puts the paintings up on a site so that everybody can see them. Those horses must paint master pieces. Ha Ha! They are like Van Gou but in horse version. Good luck Cheryl hope your horses become stars! Bye Newsdepth!
That was so cool that a horse could paint.Hey do you think he could do home work.Maybe you could bring him over and we can start on Math!
I love the horses can paint! That is so cute!I think that they are better then me. I wish I could get my dog to do that. All she can do is lay down. That is so cool how they could hold the brush. Does the paint have flavor to it? How could hold that without spitting it out would it be disgusting?
I never notice that horses can paint with their mouth and become a great artist. If I was a horse I would paint with my tail and be a great artist too.
