This pony is an inspiration to us all to live our lives to the fullest, anything IS possible and SROT is a personal reminder to us all that dreams can come true
from Catlettsburg, Kentucky on 11/14/2007
SROT is the #1 Pony that everyone needs to have!! Not only is she authentically detailed, she is also a teaching tool and holds a special meaning to myself and a group of 6th graders. To make a long story short...Joani donated 30 Trail Ponies and an original Pony of hers to an auction for our scholarship fund in memory of Lisa Price, our school's art teacher that passed away in a tragic house fire. Joani also sent 30 students a personalized and signed picture and poem of SROT, way before she hit The Trail. The kids fell in love with her and Joani. Her poem touched our hearts and souls, especially remembering Lisa. This poem also opened up poetry to several of the students, not to mention the culture of The Native American.
I'm not sure if it's my imagination or what, but this Pony seems to have a petite, fragileness to her that reminds me how precious life is on earth. So cherish every moment you have with your loved ones, both humans and critters. You might just want to give that special someone the Gift of SROT. Until we meet again....Happy Trails!!
By the way...One of the personalized and signed poems that Joani sent my class is framed and hanging in my Painted Pony Corral. I also have a personalized, repainted Sacred Reflections placed front and center in my curio.

This pony has, and will continue to inspire all artists to strive for perfection by example. The attention to detail is astounding. Each addition has been carefully sized correctly to match the size of the pony. As a TOPP collector and an artist, this has been my favorite pony thus far!
from Jackson, Ga on 11/4/2007
I stumbled over [...]in 2006. I am endeavoring to collect all of the Ponies I love. Sacred has become an emblem of all I admire in Art and Life. She is a beautiful, meaningful symbol of the connection between man and horse. As a part Cherokee, I feel the Bond that Sacred represents between all living creatures and Mother Earth, and with the need to respect Nature. Sacred's Beauty goes beyond the physical and into the Spiritual.

This pony "STOLE MY HEART AND FILLED MY SOUL".
I feel the artist has given us all a "gift" by creating Sacred Reflections of Time. Thank you for capturing the true meaning of RESPECT and APPRECIATION for Mother Earth, and sharing it with us all.

Sacred Reflections of Time is absolutely my favorite Native Pony ever issued by TOPP. The detail of this pony and all it represents is incredible. Joani's ability to bring her ponies to life per se never ceases to amaze me. I am hoping to see another pony offered by this Artist in a future herd issued by the Trail! The ornament is a MUST have also and the embellished ones are gorgeous as well!
I love the meaning behind this pony and all the fine little details. I look forward to seeing more work by her.

This pony is reflective of everything the storytag reads. The artist is most generous and genuine and I haven't even met her in person! I own other pieces she has created and cherish them. I also have a dozen of her ornaments. She is the best!

I really love the meanings that inspired this pony and the artist that created it is truly gifted.

Joani has created a pony that speaks to all of us about the personal relationship she has with this piece. She created this piece from the heart and it shows. This pony is a must have for any collector of Painted Ponies. As a fellow artist, it inspires me to hopefully create a pony this outstanding I could share with other collectors.

I have given this pony as a gift to my best friend in Arizona. Have another embellished for a special friend for Christmas. Have my own embellished and a signed and numbered one for my personal collection.
Joani's ponies are highly sought by Custom pony collectors. I hope TOPP will consider reproducing more than this one. She gives encouragement to all that wish to paint the PYOP's. Thanks TOPP for recognizing her talent and recreating this one so collectors can experience the meaning behind it and reflect on her (Sacred Reflections of Time's) meaning.
Great representation of Native American History. The base has wonderful detail also. Love everything about this pony.

I think that Joani is One of the most talented Artists that I have seen. Her Pony represents a Proud People and she has captured it with such authenticity! Her other ponies are equally as Fabulous as this one! Keep up the Great Work!
