Brookline Lab Rescue Spring Auction

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.

“Fantastic Fillies” 

Pony Story: When she was invited to paint a Pony that honored the racehorse, Janee, a children's book illustrator, imagined four fast fillies charging down the homestretch, the winner crossing the finish line a nose ahead of the others. The artistry in her design is heightened by the contrasting colors of the horses and the silks of the jockeys, set against a midnight-black background, and the determination and courage etched on the faces of the fillies.
