The Trail of Painted Ponies figurines are bringing the art and the collectible worlds together. Each figurine is inspired by an original Painted Pony and has been crafted with exquisite attention to detail. As such, each figurine has an authenticity that makes it a miniature work of art in its own right.
To date, only twelve Painted Ponies have been crafted in this larger 9" size. Each is limited to an edition of 5,000 and is cast in solid resin, which gives them an impressive weight and size. They are a wonderful addition to any Painted Ponies collection.
"Woodland Hunter came to me through research and study of the Northern Plains tribes," says Kevin Kilhoffer, a native of western Oklahoma who studies, draws and paints the American West. "I found records of a Franciscan missionary stationed at a fur trade fort dating back to 1836, and in his notes he described a Teton Sioux warrior who rode into the fort wearing a magnificent war shirt adorned with scalps and wonderful art work decorating his horse." Incorporating markings that tell of deeds, wisdom, wealth and bravery, and outfitting his Pony with a shield, weapons, saddle and bags for transporting food, Kevin has created an astounding and historically accurate tribute to that Plains Indian warrior.
