For painting a large surface, one paint I suggest is the Warren London Critter Color Temporary Pet Fur. I took part in this workshop and made a very rough version of a Dala horse, but I like it. I now have a greater appreciation for the Dala horse carvers, and my own little souvenir to take home. It’s a fun and hands-on way to learn something new, as well as get a taste of the skill that goes into this this beloved traditional craft. This pop-up was one of their first Dala horse workshops and they may launch another. In the meantime you can buy a carving kit online. This spray is best for a wider area you want to color and not intricate designs. It will take several coats for a more vibrant color.

So it is smart to become aware of some potential safety issues as well as to make sure you are following best safety practices for painting on your horse. The best paints to use on your horse will vary based on where you are painting on your horse, how many color options you want, the cost of the paint and how much paint you need.

Painting on your horse’s hooves is different than what would go on their coat or mane, as it is the same material as our own finger nails. But hooves are porous and need to breathe, so you want a specific polish made for horse hooves. I recommend the Colorations Tempera Paint over the washable because it is a bit more vibrant and though tempera is pretty easy to wash off, the washable paint can come off your horse a little too easily.

Crowding the horse with a bunch of people when the horse is not used to it or finds large crowds stressful. Acrylic paint is non-toxic, however it shouldn’t touch a horse’s skin.
