From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Prairie Horizon. Made of ceramic. Measures 7" high.Artist: Bob CoontsThis fine artist from Colorado has a long fascination with the history and lore of the Nez Perce Indians - expert horsemen with a sophisticated knowledge of breeding who are credited with developing the Appaloosa. Using a distinctive artistic style that combines bold colors with geometric shapes, circles, triangles and arrows that connect his design to the title - a horizon line encircles the horse, grass and trees, canyons and rivers are rendered in an abstract way - he breathes new life and excitement into his stylized interpretation of a breed of horse known for its unique color and variety of spots.This item cannot be exported outside of the United States and will only be shipped to a US address. |

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Reindeer Roundup. Made of resin. Measures 8.5" high. Artist: Joy Steuerwald In hopes of drawing Santa's sleigh through the Christmas sky like the red-nosed Rudolph, this reindeer wannabe tried to disguise the fact he was a Painted Pony by rounding up a set of antlers and throwing a gaudy saddle blanket on his back that lights up the night with stars. Even if he doesn't get a chance to pull Santa's sleigh, he will bring cheer to the season, and make this a memorable Christmas for those who find him prancing under their tree.

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Reunion of the Family of Man. Made of resin. Measures 6" high.Artist: Cal PeacockSponsor: Painted Pinto FarmsArtist Cal Peacock's painted tin "Medicine Horses" have been displayed in such prestigious venues as the Smithsonian Museum. But she considers "Reunion" the "king of the herd." Intricately covered with amazingly detailed imagery and symbols that express empathy and compassion towards our fellow man, and carrying a medicine bundle stocked with bird feathers, Cal's gorgeous Pony is an expression of the importance of soulfully connecting with Nature."It is my intention that these horses go out into the world bearing offerings of beauty and inspiration. They are talismanic reminders of the grace of life's tribulations, so that rather than dragging our past around like an anchor of shame-based victim stories, we might take heart and think of our battle scars with pride, like a badge of courage or credential for the dignity of our character. May these horses take your spirit on a soaring ride to the confluence of what is so -- and bring you back a connoisseur, a veteran of beauty."This Painted Pony figurine has been officially retired.

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Rodeo Dreams. Made of ceramic. Measures 6" high. Artist: Jim Knauf Sponsor: Margot MacDougall A cover artist whose Cowboy paintings massage, twist and tweak traditional concepts of Western art at the same time they embrace Western iconography, Jim lets his Painted Pony speak for himself: "I dream Rodeo Dreams. I don't want to plough or amble along a trail. I'm not built for dressage and I'm certainly nobody's pet. Give me center stage, and I'll give you a show. Every time someone climbs on my back, I'll make him think seriously about how he'll get back down. I'll go ballistic and, right in front of the crowd, I'll launch his sorry butt on a degrading orbit. Yep, I'm Rodeo Dreams." This item cannot be exported outside of the United States and will only be shipped to a US address. |

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Running with the Ancestors. Made of resin. Measures 6" high. Artist: Carole Adamec Sponsor: Jardin de los Ninos "The inspiration for this Pony comes from prehistoric imagery found on European cave walls, where the grand drawings of horses were both magical and beautiful," says this painter, gallery director and teacher who founded the 5,000 Flowers Project, a national commemoration of 9/11 for healing and harmony through art. Just as contemporary horses echo the drawings of Stone Age artists, so does Carole feel she is linked to Paleolithic artists. "They are my ancestors of creativity and self-expression."

She carries an Eagle on her shield, a Buffalo on her Pipe and bag, a Coyote on her quiver and a Bear Paw on the smaller drum. These are the Guardians of the four major directions, and they are also great teachers.”As a child in Jersey City, New Jersey, Joani Jiannine "drew horses, horses and more horses." When she was 18 she left home and went to work on the racetrack. Not long after that she married a jockey. Many years later, when she moved to Arkansas and lived next door to an old Seneca Medicine woman "who took me in tow and taught me much of the Native American ways," Joani started back into drawing and painting and crafting... what else? Horses.This item cannot be exported outside of the United States and will only be shipped to a US address. |

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Serenity. Made of ceramic. Measures 7" high.Artist: La MarrIt's said that serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm. With that in mind, this California artist set out to decorate her Pony with designs that put the heart at ease. She was inspired by such classically popular patterns as Blue Willow, a design that has graced the world’s finest dinnerware. (Who can resist the charming imagery of the star-crossed lovers who were turned into immortal lace birds?) And Coventry Blue, a delicate embroidery found on white linen and bed coverings that originated in 16th Century England and evokes pastoral strolls down shady lanes past white cottages and ponds dappled with lilies.This item cannot be exported outside of the United States and will only be shipped to a US address. |

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Silverado. Made of resin. Measures 7" high. Artist: Karlynn Keyes During the first half of the twentieth century, parades and horse shows held in conjunction with rodeos, fiestas and fairs throughout the West fueled a demand for fancy, embroided saddlery. Elegant, silver-mounted parade saddles, carved with floral and figural motifs, and with matching bridles, martingales and breast collars, were perceived as exquisite works of art. "Silverado," a customized interpretation of this flashy tradition by Karlynn Keyes, Vice-President of The Trail of Painted Ponies, is a masterpiece by any definition.
