Horse dye

Question
Hello, this is a kind of off-the-wall question, but our 3 year old wants a zebra for his b-day.  We have our miniature horse in our sights--are looking for a safe, animal-friendly dye, perhaps in a spray paint form, that would not hurt Bilbo, but maybe just humiliate the poor creature for a day or two.  Do you know of any sources for this?  Thanks for your help.  (we may be a bit indulgent, but at least we aren't looking for a real zebra!!)  

Answer
Hi Melinda;

I know there are paints out there that you can put on horses because people have painted the skeleton and muscles on the outside of horses as a teaching tool at clinics.

Here is a link to people who do this type of clinic.  Maybe contact them about what kind of paint they use.

Good luck.  I think your son will be VERY excited to get a zebra for his birthday!
