war paint

Question
I have a mostly white pinto horse.  I work at a stables where there are a lot of children's programs.  I remember when I was younger my family visited a ranch where the kids painted a horse with "war paint."  I though this would be fun for the kids at my barn, but I cannot find something safe to paint on my horse, that also won't stain his white coat.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Shelly,

Sorry for taking so long to reply - your email got overlooked.

There's a lady called Susan Harris who does demonstrations at different events around the world where she paints the entire musculo-skeletal system onto a horse. She uses a hypo-allergenic water based paint that I'm guessing would be the same sort they used to paint children's faces with at Fetes.

You can contact Susan at SEHarris@clarityconnect.com and her website is www.anatomyinmotion.com

Hope that helps.
