In response to requests from our enthusiastic collectors, we are delighted to announce that The Trail of Painted Ponies has created the only "Official Autographed Editions" figurines. Serious collectors have been searching for a way to collect figurines that are hand-signed and hand-numbered by the artists that created the original works of art from The Trail of Painted Ponies... Now they can, and they are available exclusively through our website store!
There will be seven Painted Ponies in the Winter 2009 Autographed Editions and each will be special:
It's a Western tradition for American cowboys to ride saddles that are decorated with elegant, delicately carved floral and geometric patterns and, in some cases, embroidered with gold and silver ornaments. With this in mind, Virginia artist and craftsman Chad Brady, whose uncle has been a cobbler for over 30 years making fancy chaps for rodeo cowboys, keeps the spirit alive with a Painted Pony he has beautifully tooled with floral, oak leaf and acorn patterns.
