Description

In 2024 Trail of Painted Ponies released these awesome figurines. They are brand new from my vast TOPP inventory as I’ve been a dealer since they began in 2003.

Here’s insight to the Artists’ Designs:

Horse Dreams                   Artist: Amber Stirling

Combining the look and feel of intricately designed hand-tooled leather with the flow and form of a beautiful horse – fantasy creatures and wildlife are this artist’s specialty – Horse Dreams leaves an imprint on the mind long after the gaze has moved on.

Buffalo Medicine            Artist: Kevin Kilhoffer

The buffalo was an important part of many Native American cultures. It gave them food, clothing, and tools, and was honored in songs, dances and prayers. With Buffalo Medicine, a Painted Pony has been decorated and adorned with assorted accessories to show respect and give the Pony sacred powers.

Spirit of the Wolf            Artist: Joe Watkins

Combining two prominent symbols of the American West – a wild horse and a wolf – into a single design, this artist, a former Illustrator/Photographer in the U.S. Air Force and a product of the West himself, has created a design that creatively captures the spirit of both creatures.

Delft Blue                                Artist: Elizabeth Henderson

Craftsmen have been creating iconic, tin-glazed elegantly designed Delft Blue pottery for centuries. Inspired by Chinese porcelain, it is now considered a European art form that depicts symbols unique to the Netherlands such as windmills, landscapes and floral patterns based on vegetation native to that area. Delftware includes pottery objects of all descriptions including plates, vases, tiles… and now a Painted Pony.  Elizabeth also did Spirit of Christmas Present

White Beauty                     Artist: Lorna Matsuda

Admired along with the Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy and other childhood western heros, were the white stallions they rode in on. White Beauty is one of those trusty steeds with almost mystical powers. He is a horse of purity. He represents courage and has no fear. Fittingly, he wears a fancy ebony show saddle, and invites you to hop on and go for a ride into the sunset of your dreams.  Lorna has created many other painted ponies, and you can see my list of the artist with their ponies at my Artist List Page.

Zephyr                                Artist: Lorna Matsuda

As he steps onto the stone ledge that overlooks the valley below – his domain – the westerly winds whirl Zephyr’s mane and tail so they look as if they are about to take flight. High in the mountains the crisp air fills his flared nostrils, as what he views gives him purpose and duty = the commitment to protect his herd, and at the same time remain a free spirit.

In the past my site was at fjordpony.com where you may have been enjoying these ponies. Like everything it is time to update and enhance my ponies so you all can enjoy more and more.  Thank you.
