Ron, a former horse trainer with a sense of humor, one day taped a brush to Metro’s mouth. The horse just sort of… went for it. He smeared paint on a canvas, and the result was a chaotic, splattery mess. But it was his mess.
Here’s the surprising fact: horses don’t have a great sense of color. They see the world in mostly blues, yellows, and greens—like a sad Instagram filter. Yet Metro went straight for the reds, oranges, and purples. He’s basically a horse with an emotional palette. Who knew?
Today, Metro Meteor’s paintings sell for hundreds to thousands of dollars. That’s right: a horse is out-earning most freelance artists. He even has his own website, “The Horse Painter,” where you can buy his abstract masterpieces. His signature? A hoof print in the corner.
The Hoodie: A Fashion Statement or a Secret Superpower?
Now, about that hood. It’s not just for looking cute—though it does that spectacularly. The hoodie was actually designed to keep him calm during storms. Horses spook easily; Metro is no exception. But give him a cozy blue hood, and he becomes Zen Master Equus.

There’s a video of him painting in full hoodie regalia: he looks like a hipster rapper who accidentally walked into a stable. He dips the brush, takes a deep breath, and goes to town. His technique? Imagine a toddler with a fire hose full of acrylics. That’s Metro Meteor.
Critics have called his work “chaotic,” “primitive,” and “surprisingly not terrible.” I’m not an art critic, but I know this: his paintings have a raw, emotional energy that humans struggle to fake. It’s like he’s saying, “I ate hay and ran fast for years. Now I paint my trauma.”
