In 2009 a racehorse named Metro Meteor sustained knee injuries ending his racing career. Veterinarians gave him two years to live,but he has beat their odds and embarked on a new career path. He was adopted by a couple,the man who's an artist started painting sitting outside Metro's stall. He noticed Metro bobbing his head up and down and thought "I can never ride him but maybe I can teach him to hold a paint brush and put all that head bobbing to good use." The results were better than expected,chaotic lines of color that could have been painted by a human hand. His first painting sold for $300 and there is a waiting list for his work. Half of his earnings go to help other horses like himself. The other half pays his medical expenses including an experimental treatment allowing him to be ridden again.
