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.
“Spirit War Pony”
Pony Story: The Santa Fe artist Tavlos is credited with originating the famous howling coyote imagery that became the trademark of Southwest art in the '80s. Known for his bold colors and vivid designs, he took a pop-art approach to the Native American tradition of painting their war horses, giving his Pony a turquoise coat and decorating it with dazzling accents.
