The result of Juba’s foray in to the arts is now available on eBay! The ever-popular horse was invited to create a Moneigh®, the result of which is currently being auctioned off. Dawn Mellen of After the Finish Line visited Juba at Jimmy Jerkens’ Belmont Park barn. Using non-toxic, washable paint in Centennial Farms colors and a gray reminiscent of his own coat color, Juba used his lips and muzzle to create a unique design, which he then “signed” with a hoof-print. The resulting work of art was matted, along with a lock of his mane, by ReRun, Inc.
Bidding opened at $25.00 for the painting, but it quickly skyrocketed in price. The first bid came in at an even $100, and it has only continued to rise. Proceeds from the sale of Moneighs® goes to thoroughbred aftercare. Please visit After the Finish Line® and ReRun, Inc. to learn more about each organization, including how to donate. Bidding remains open on Juba’s artwork until 6:45pm EDT on Sunday, May 1.
