She paints, too. Is there anything she can't do? She's a true Renaissance horse! All joking aside, it's a great cause, so I hope her work sells well.

[FenceBored]

They're up!

I think Mineshaft actually painted a horse! :eek:

In a crude 4yo human kind of way.

Holy $hit,I'm no expert on art but I know some painters and know what art looks like and it doesn't look like that BS!!Especially for $500.

Holy $hit,I'm no expert on art but I know some painters and know what art looks like and it doesn't look like that BS!!Especially for $500.The company that is responsible for these horse drawings, and the purpose behind them, is the single most heart-warming story that I have ever seen coming out of our game.

I have Dahoss to thank for bringing this cause to my attention...and I wish there were more efforts like these.

The people behind this venture are to be applauded...:ThmbUp:

[joanied]

Zenyatta's painting is up to $1,250.00 now :jump:

Cincy... I was an art major in school, and I love these paintings...as far as 'modern' art goes, I'd take any one of them over any modern art piece...
in fact, one day I'm gonna have a few hundred dollars I don't know what to do with and I'll bid on one of the Moneighs...they are so cool:cool: ...

needless to say, the money goes to a great cause:ThmbUp: :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp:

I wonder if Re Run has ever got in touch with the guys at TVG and HRTV to have Moneighs auctioned via those race channels...might bring in more money.

Holy $hit,I'm no expert on art but I know some painters and know what art looks like and it doesn't look like that BS!!Especially for $500.You do realize they were "painted" by the horses themselves, right?

[CincyHorseplayer]

Yeah I feel like the proverbial horse's a$s on this one.Whoa.Excuse my negligence.

You are forgiven, Cincy... and don't feel bad, I didn't realize you didn't realize that the horse's are the artists (face palm)

What if someone had gotten a couple of Moneighs painted by Ruffian. What would one of them be worth?

I's all for a great cause...has nothing to do with good taste or fine art!!

[Skanoochies]

....That one by A.P.Indy looks like a bench clearing brawl between St. Louis Blues and the NYR. And N.Y. doesn`t look like they are doing too well. :lol:

[CincyHorseplayer]
