The Trail of Painted Ponies figurines bring 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 10" 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.
The Fancy Dance evolved from the early Plains tribe's war and victory dances. It is an energetic style of dance, usually performed by younger men who spin, twist and make quick steps and fast turns. Their outfits are traditionally composed of lots of bright colors, metallic beads, sequins and ribbons, which create a flashy display. They have two bustles, a head roach and intricately beaded headband... all of which are faithfully and stunningly recreated on a spirited, snorting horse that is caught up in the excitement of the drumbeat. This unique creation by a Virginia artist won The People's Choice Award in the national Native Art of Horse Painting competition.
