The Trail of Painted Ponies began in the summer of 2000. A major sculptor was commissioned to create a life-size horse that was cast in a durable resin blend. A call went out to the artistic community around the Southwest, inviting famous as well as emerging artists to submit designs that imaginatively celebrated the creative spirit. And the response was overwhelming, with results that ranged from the delightful to the breathtaking.

The first herd of Painted Pony figurines which were modeled after the life size Painted Ponies was released in January, 2003.  Painted Ponies have now become one of the top collectibles in the United States, and are now becoming available worldwide.  Each pony is unique and has its own individual story.

“Karuna”  

Pony Story:  The first "celebrity" to create a Painted Pony was Ali MacGraw, best known for her iconic turn as the college student in the movie "Love Story," for which she won a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination.  Says actress and animal lover Ali MacGraw, "I chose to make a fantasy creature, inspired by the fabulous horses of Central Asia, that would inspire compassion for all God's creatures, great and small, all over the world.: With Karuna, which means "Compassion" in Sanskrit, Ali demonstrates that her talent and creativity extend far beyond the silver screen.
