HARRISBURG, PA -

Meet Metro the painting race horse, well, former race horse, actually. He was adopted by artist Ron Krajewski after his knees no longer allowed him to race. So he learned to grasp a brush instead. Now obviously Metro is no Picasso. Although his work is abstract, too. The bigger picture though is much clearer. Metro's paintings are for sale and the money raised goes to horses like him with knees so bad they can't race or even give rides.
