Family Shows Patriotism Is In By Painting Flag On Horse

Since September 11, millions of Americans have demonstrated a renewed sense of patriotism by flying the flag. Renee Linzalone decided to go one step further by painting the American flag on Captain, her 21-year-old white Arabian horse. Renee and husband, Mike, live on a small farm near Newberry, Fla. They used clothing dye and shoe polish to paint the stars and stripes on both sides of the horse.

"When we went out to buy a new flag, all the stores were sold out. That's when Mike suggested we paint the horse," says Renee. "He painted the stripes and I painted the stars. Everyone who drives by does a double take when they see it."
