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.
“Wildfire”
Pony Story: Anyone who has lived in the West knows firsthand about the awesome power and unpredictability of a wildfire. As well, anyone who has ridden horses knows they too are powerful and can be unpredictable. Carlsbad artist Gerri Mattson has creatively combined these two natural forces into a single dynamic image in which a forest fire raging out of control and horse stand together in a single art form.
