The Trail of Painted Ponies Coffee Mugs are created by Westland Giftware, the same company that crafts the popular Painted Ponies figurines. Dishwasher and microwave safe, they stand 4" tall and hold 21 oz of liquid. Each mug is wrapped in design elements taken from a Pony that is also available as a figurine, and makes a great companion piece to its inspiration.

Read this Cherokee artist’s resume and you will understand why he is listed in Who’s Who in American Art. A Vietnam veteran whose personal philosophy is "Everything is an experiment. That goes for life, for art and for painting a Pony," Bill adorned one side of his Pony with a portrait of a Plains Indian warrior, and the other with a serene Pueblo scene. Asked for his inspiration, he wrote, "From the Great Spirit and Mother Earth, All things are made."
