a way to make money with horses

[mitchmaine]

I heard about this horse lately doing art. His owner, thinking he was a little high strung and in need of some therapy, taught him to hold a paintbrush in his mouth, while she loaded it up with some pleasing color, and he immediately went to work on his masterpiece. She’d change color for him and away he’d go, until somehow he decided he was finished. Don’t know how he signed his work, but they sell for $150. a pop, and he can’t paint them fast enough to fill the demand. Evidently, it must sooth his nerves as well. Why didn’t I think of that one first?

SOMEWHERE there are u-tube Videos of elephants doing paintings.
It looked authentic to me, maybe not masterful art, but a pretty good trick.
