Roswell the Painting Horse

The Stillwater Art Guild Gallery has an artist whose work has sold out several times already in the gallery.  Elizabeth found out that it isn’t just the paintings that are resonating with the art buyers but the artist himself.  The artist is a sixteen year old thoroughbred named Roswell!

An OTTB, Roswell tried a number of undersaddle careers, none of which were very successful. Once referred to by a trainer as "put together with spare parts", he wasn't fast enough for the track, couldn't jump high enough for a jumper, and though somewhat successful in dressage, sidelined by a knee injury. That injury has probably ended his undersaddle pursuits but has also been a blessing in disguise. Needing to find an means of entertainment for Ros (sitting idle in a pasture was not his idea of fun), I introduced him to painting, and he has found his career at last! Now, Ros wants to use his passion to help other horses.

He donates %50 of proceeds to the Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation (as well as other charities as asked along the way)
