Copper Enchantment £30 NOW £22.50(Reference #PP76)
From the Trail of Painted Ponies Collection: "Copper Enchantment"

Artist: Lynn Bean

Made of Resin; Measures 6" tall

"Copper Enchantment" is the result of acclaimed artist, Lynn Beam's vision of an Appaloosa horse adorned with traditional Native symbols of power, spirit and strength, rendered in different mediums. Her use of hand-tooled copper foil, leather, feathers and beads to form lightning bolts on the neck (signifying speed), and a handprint on the hindquarters (signifying ownership), are the attention to detail that make "Copper Enchantment" a true masterpiece design.

Made of solid resin. Measures 6.75" high. Artist: Olena Kalayda.

She has come to love the desert landscapes of Arizona, but this immigrant artist from the Ukraine says "I miss the glistening of the snow on sunny winter days, the diamond sparkling beauty of frozen forests, the incredible patterns of fantasy plants and animals that crystallize on winter windows." Inspired by those wonderland memories, and painting in the 18th century style of country people who would beautify their homes with floral paintings on the walls that included birds of paradise and swirls of silver lace, Olena has created a gorgeous tribute to the magical beauty of winter around the world.

Boot Camp Pony - £30 NOW £22.50(Reference #PP72)
From the Trail of Painted Ponies Collection: "Boot Camp"

Artist: Maria Ryan

Made of Resin; Measures 6" tall

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, the artist 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.

Artist: Karlynn Keyes

Made of Resin; Measures 6" tall

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" is the artist's creative modern depiction of this bygone tradition.

From the Painted Ponies Collection: "Viva Las Vegas"

Artist: La Marr

Made of solid resin; Measures 6" tall.

No other icon epitomizes Las Vegas like the Showgirl. Known for her incredibly elaborate, baroque but brief costumes; her ability to sing, dance and sashay across a stage in sky-high stilettos, while balancing a feathered headdress atop her head; the Showgirl is considered a piece of art or a human sculpture. Although Showgirl revues are slowly disappearing on The Strip, the Stockton, California artist who paints under the name La Marr, wanted to take us on a ride through Las Vegas entertainment history with this dazzling equine tribute in full showgirl regalia!

From the Trail of Painted Ponies Collection: "Cheyenne Painted Rawhide"

Artist: Liz Chappie-Zoller

Made of Resin; Measures 6" tall

An appreciation of all earthly and spiritual gifts in the Native American culture and traditions led this gifted Montana artist to create a Painted Pony that honored an authentic Native art form not widely known. After thoroughly researching the Cheyenne woman’s tradition of painting abstract designs of spiritual significance on dressed, buffalo hides, Liz conceived of a Painted Pony design that, in the words of a tribal elder, “is a beauty and has won my heart.” The original “Cheyenne Rawhide Pony” was selected as Best of Show by Southwest Art Magazine in “The Native Art of Horse Painting” competition.

From the Trail of Painted Ponies Collection: "Dynasty Pony"

Artist: Jeffrey Chan

Made of Resin; Measures 6" tall

China is a land of myths and mysteries shrouded in the mists of history. Throughout the course of Chinese history, one animal has exerted a tremendous influence over its development - the horse. Drawing on Imperial artifacts and records dating back to the Qing Dynasty (when the golden dragon symbolized the Emperor), Jeffrey Chan, a former art director in the movie industry in Hong Kong who now works in giftware design, created a glorious "warrior pony" that has the richly detailed feel and look of an archaeological art treasure.

Artist: Barbara Janowitz

Made of Resin; Measures 6" tall

Growing up on a Colorado horse ranch across the valley from her Cherokee grandfather, this artist was immersed at an early age in both Indian art and culture and the riding life. Painting horses and Indian symbols on leather helped pay for her college tuition. It also inspired her to create a Pony whose power lies in the graphically creative arrangement of assorted spiritual symbols. “I wanted to include the Spirits that guide and protect us, and every one I’ve painted has ‘good medicine.’”

In her artistic creations, this Arkansas artist of Cherokee descent (her Indian name is Silver Fox) strives to capture the Native American’s respect for the sacredness and beauty of Mother Earth, the colorful legends handed down from generation to generation, and the love and close bond that was shared with the horse. “(Sacred Reflections) is my Spirit Horse and Peace Pony. 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.”

To ride on a carousel is every child’s dream, and most adults find that carousels bring back the joys of childhood. “Bedazzled” embodies all the characteristics of the Coney Island carousel style that reached its peak at the turn of the 20th Century. “Her silver dapple coat, flowing gold mane and tail, and sparkling jewels would bring squeals of delight from any child,” says creator J.E. Speight, who studied the various styles of the famous early carousels while serving as the head painter on several restored carousel horses in Salem, Oregon’s Riverfront Park.

David DeVary is one of an emerging group of so-called "New West" artists who celebrate the myths of the American West. His oil and gold-leaf paintings, boldly colored and dramatically toplit, present contemporary cowboys and cowgirls in the guise of romanticized American icons. Posed like glamorous fashion models on the sides of a beautiful Palomino, their eyes shadowed by a low-tipped cowboy hat, the women on this Pony intentionally glorify the freedom and self-confidence we associate with "the cowgirl."

Silver Lining - £35 now £26.25(Reference #PP62)
In Greek mythology, Pegasus is regarded as the horse of the Muses, and has always been at the service of poets. And so the story is told of a handsome youth who jumped on the back of a horse that unfolded the splendor of a mighty set of wings and soared towards the heavens... where he can still be seen as the star constellation, Pegasus. Santa Fe sculptor and horsewoman Star Liana York created the original, crystal-eyed interpretation of the legendary flying steed to benefit a therapeutic horseback riding program.
