Jacob the horse is a crimefighter by occupation, but is always keen to pick up a paintbrush when it comes to his leisure time.

Jacob is part of the mounted unit with the St Petersburg Police Department in Florida, where he often works downtown at night patrolling the entertainment district.
His partner of six years, Officer Jason Hughes, noticed Jacob’s desire to pick up anything he could with his mouth, so figured if he handed him a paintbrush, his artistic juices might well flow.
Hughes’ instinct was right. “He took to it pretty easy,” he said.
Plans are afoot for an exhibition in about a month, once he has painted enough works, with any funds raised going to charity.
