The EAE is a Fundraising Event Sponsored by Friends of Dunrovin and Hosted by Dunrovin Ranch.
Friends of Dunrovin, a 501c3 organization, utilizes the physical resources of Dunrovin Ranch in Lolo, MT and DaysAtDunrovin.com's virtual front porch to create and host unique programs and events to support other nonprofit organizations that foster human, animal, environmental, or community health.
Every part of the Equine Art Extravaganza will be broadcast online through our multi web cameras live at the ranch!
The day begins at 11am with our artists each painting on a personally selected horse. They finish their work at 5pm when they will be photographed for the online contest.
Throughout the day, enjoy hearing individual artist interviews, a retrospective ‘Look Back’ with special guests, videos, and stories from previous EAE’s.
Stay until evening to witness the running of the painted horses via our web cameras as they are released into the pasture – a beautiful sight to see!

Follow along on our History link to see and hear about the 5 year history of EAE ~ read about how it started, learn of the evolution of the event and see images of past artists creations.
We LOVE our Dunrovin Horses!
Because of their reliability, only Dunrovin Ranch horses are used for the EAE. Artists use only nontoxic materials and methods of application approved by the ranch. Horses are kept in the shade, have continual access to hay, and are given periodic water and exercise breaks. While no one can talk for a horse, they do seem to enjoy the attention!
