From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Painted Ponies Blue Medicine Pony Ornament. Made of sculpted resin. Measures 2.5" high. Artist: Mary Iron Eyes (Osage and Eastern Band Cherokee) Sponsor: David and Judy Standridge Mary Iron Eyes gifts us with a profoundly spiritual expression of healing in "Blue Medicine." A gifted writer and painter, this Cherokee artist wanted her Pony to stand not only as a work of art, but an "expression of healing and support for those in need in our community." This pony is adorned with a leather-look tribal sash and is decorated with the individual prints of families and children. Mary worked overtime to complete this "vision and personal prayer" before passing to the other side in the summer of 2003.

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Boot Camp Pony Ornament. Includes a cord to hang it with. Made of solid resin. Measures 2.5" high. Artist: Maria Ryan A cowboy's best friends are his horse and saddle, a rope, a hat and a comfortable pair of boots. But boy howdy, when it comes to Painted Ponies you can forget the plain, clunky, brown and black working cowboy boot. Banishing the traditional "high heels of the range" from her imagination, Idaho wildlife artist Maria Ryan created a colorful tribute to the cowboy boot mystique when she bedecked and bedazzled her Pony with an outrageous collection of western fashion footwear and let him kick up his heels.

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Children's Prayers Pony. Made of ceramic. Measures 6" high. Artists: The Youth of America Sponsor: Pope John XXIII and Double Star Studio In times of great distress, it seems that many Americans turn to prayer, one of the oldest and simplest forms of communication, and truly one of the most powerful and inspiring. In the fall of 2001, at a time when this country was changed forever, children of many faiths from across the United States were invited to share their most prized possessions -- their prayers. The compassion, courage, hope and forgiveness they expressed in words and art were collected in a bestselling book -- Children's Prayers for America -- and are shared on this special, heartfelt Pony that is an expression of hope in its most humble form.

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Crazy Horse. Made of resin. Measures 7" high.Artist: C J WellsHistory books describe Crazy Horse as a respected war leader who fought against the U.S. government in an effort to preserve the traditions and values of the Lakota way of life. He was that and much more. As a young man he had a vivid dream of a horseback rider, with lightning zigzagging down his cheek and a turquoise earring in one ear, who looked up to see a red-backed hawk fly overhead. When he related the dream to his medicine man father, Crazy Horse was told he would achieve future greatness in battle. A lifetime of victories on the battlefield followed, culminating with his triumph over George Armstrong Custer at the Little Bighorn. No photographs of Crazy Horse exist, but with this Pony C J Wells, a Native "artist warrior" herself, has given him a high-voltage interpretation.This item cannot be exported outside of the United States and will only be shipped to a US address. |
