Horse raises money for charity
Quote:
After being forced to retire from competing in shows due to degenerative ligaments in his back legs, a 23-year-old horse in Idaho has found a second career as a painter. While the horse, Tuck, is disabled and unable to carry riders, he sure has a knack for art. Nancy Powers, the horse’s owner, realized this when she noticed he liked to pick things up with his mouth.
Powers slowly began providing sketch pads and easels for Tuck to play with. Gripping a paintbrush took practice, but he quickly took a liking to painting.
“Tuck has a very good eye. He’s a very tactile-sensory horse,” Nancy told People about her beloved animal.
Due to public interest, Nancy began selling the horse’s paintings. Furthermore, she decided to give half of the proceeds from Tuck’s paintings to Ride For Joy, a horse riding program that assists disabled veterans. The remaining proceeds are for art supplies.
