Holiday Village Christmas Cookie 2012
SKU: 4027279
Here's a recipe for a new Christmas classic. You start
with a little bit of tradition, along the lines of a
sugar cookie. You add some whimsy: Instead of a snow-
roofed cottage and Yule trees, you cut out tiny Indian
people, tipis and eagle feathers. Then you bring in
color and sparkle, dressing each figure in the primary
Christmas colors of red and green, and sprinkling
glitter to make it seem as if it's snowing. And when
all the notes are ringing in harmony, you have a
masterful, one-of-a-kind Holiday Painted Pony named
Village Christmas Cookie that looks so tasty you
almost
want to bite into it.

Cheyenne Warrior
SKU: 4035091
Dog Soldiers' were the military elite within the
Cheyenne culture on the Northern Plains during the
mid-
1850s, when their homelands were besieged by fortune
seekers and homesteaders. Respected as well as
feared,
these warriors were sworn to protect their people at
all costs. To cover the retreat of a companion or
village under attack, the bravest among them would
stay
behind and stake themselves to the ground with a
'dog
sash' secured to a lance, remaining there until
death if
necessary.

Crow Warrior
SKU: 4049714a
Once a nomadic tribe that roamed what is now Montana
and Wyoming, the way of life for the Crow Indian
Tribe
changed dramatically with the acquisition of the
horse.
Young men, instructed in horsemanship at an early
age,
grew into warriors who inspired awe among other
tribes
for their amazing feats on horseback. An Oklahoma
artist who has studied Plains Indians extensively
created this tribute to the way the Crow also
dressed
their horses with more display than many other
tribes,
incorporating quill embroidery, beadwork, pendants,
braided rawhide and the carving arts into their
equine
regalia.

Star Spangled Rodeo
SKU: 4046344
With that introduction, a magnificent white
Appaloosa
decorated with a distinctive blue-star pattern
prances
into the center of the arena, a sight so beautiful
that
fans are left breathless. As they leap to their
feet, the
rumble of a trumpet signals the start of the
National
Anthem, Old Glory snaps in the breeze, the thunder
of
applause swells from the stands, and another Rodeo
begins&

Eqyptian Gold
SKU: 4053783
Gold was a symbol of power and immortality in
Ancient
Egypt, and as a decorative covering, gold leaf was
believed to bring eternal life, the most famous
example
being the fabulous death mask of Tutankhamun.
Working
out of knowledge and love of Egyptian history, this
Canadian artist has gilded a Painted Pony with the
facsimile of gold leaf, and then decorated the form
with symbols, images and hieroglyphics that tell the
story of a battle won by a Pharaoh riding a horse-
drawn
chariot. The result is a Pony that preserves the
richness and mystery of the many religious artifacts
found in the tombs and pyramids of Ancient Egypt.

Old Country Store
SKU: 4035093
Old Country Store was inspired by warm childhood
memories of a general country store in this artists
New
Hampshire hometown. It had a hitching post out
front,
old-fashioned rocking chairs on the porch, and its
jam-
packed interior was heated by a pot-bellied stove.
Once
upon a time, country stores were a communitys
stagecoach stop, town hall, post office and library,
as
well as unique shopping destinations where you could
find just about everything under the sun from
staples
like flour and sugar to pots and pans to long
underwear, and even the occasional store mouse.

It's early Christmas Morning and snowflakes
have
begun to fall, Santa has delivered his
presents, four bears, one short, and one tall.
While the family is still asleep and dreaming

round
the tree,
While his furry friends cheer "Giddy up,"

And catches the pony with all the spots, and
rides
him
into a lope.
All the bears have lots of fun, but the time is
finally near,
To put ponies away for another day, cuz Beary

Squash Blossom 2 LEFT
SKU: 4046326
The inspiration for Squash Blossom comes from the
artists admiration of the beautiful, hand-hammered
silver-and-turquoise jewelry made by Navajo
silversmiths, and the fine textiles created by
Navajo
weavers. Incorporating both of these highly sought-
after trade items into this gorgeous design a
squash
blossom pendant for the breast plate, a traditional,
banded, Navajo Chiefs Blanket draped over the
Ponys

to
the Dineh, as the Navajo call themselves.

Guardian Angel
SKU: 4046336
Notes from the artists journal: When I think of
angels I envision a quiet presence, a listener, a
gentle soul who comforts me. I also imagine a
powerful
strength and unshakable courage that helps me fight
my
battles and carries me to safety. It occurs to me
that
a horse embodies these very same qualities and so I
have created a Guardian Angel who soars silently,
conveying a message of joy, hope, faith, love and
peace
to the world as he fades in and out of the clouds.

A Gift from the Sea
SKU: 4027274
According to legend, the Greek god Poseidon (a.k.a.
Neptune) ruled the seas from a palace of coral and
gems
on the ocean floor. He was said to have a volatile
temperament. When angered, he would summon storms
that
wrecked ships. For fun, he created monsters like
octopus and squid. To demonstrate his love for his
wife, he created the dolphin; but he also had a
wandering eye. When he pursued the goddess of fields
and harvests, she told him, "If you give a gift, the
most beautiful thing on the face of the earth, I
will
be yours." So he created a horse and, when it
galloped
from the sea, tossing its mane and tail, she thought
it
was so beautiful she gasped and said she was his
forever. Won't be avilable untilFebruary 28, 2012

Storm Rider
SKU: 4026392
The sky darkens ominously. Gusting blasts of wind
kick
up dust. Z-bolts of lightning flash from cloud-to-
ground like jagged spears thrown by an angry
mythological god. There is a sudden loud crack of
thunder that sounds like the floorboards of Heaven
have
collapsed under the weight of the rain, snow and
hail
that pour down from above, as Storm Rider charges
across the landscape, snorting, rearing, and bucking
like a wild stallion.

War Cry
SKU: 4018360
On a barren, windswept hill in eastern Montana there
stands a tall obelisk inscribed with the names of
the
268 men of the 7th Cavalry who lost their lives on
June
26, 1876, in the Battle of Little Bighorn. Custer's
Last Stand is remembered by most Americans as a
shocking defeat for the United States 7th Cavalry.
However, for Native Americans, it is remembered as
the
last chapter in the Native American struggle to
preserve and defend their homeland and traditional
way
of life. There has been no equivalent memorial for
Native Americans' heroic sacrifice, until now. This
gives War Cry its power and poignancy.

War Eagle
SKU: 4053763
Native Americans felt a kinship with all animals,
but
held eagles, hawks, owls and other birds of prey in
especially high esteem because their vision,
swiftness
and fearless courage typified the qualities a
warrior
needed to be successful. The golden eagle, often
referred to by Plains Indians as the war eagle
because of its willingness to go after game larger
than
itself - fox, coyote, sheep - was believed to be the
most powerful of all creatures in the animal
kingdom,
which is why its feathers were incorporated into the
headdresses and war bonnets worn by chiefs as they
rode
into battle.AVAILABLE 2/15/2016

Theres a good reason why the Norwegian Fjord Horse
was
the inspiration for the horse in the animated Disney

distinctive crescent-shaped mane made it an
endearing
character, as distinctive in appearance as a
unicorn.
Selectively bred by Vikings to be hard-working,
dependable and bomb proof, a Fjord was perfectly
cast
as a little horse with a big heart. AVAILABLE

Runs the Bitterroot
SKU: 12280
The Native Americans' admiration for the horse took
many forms. A favored horse dressed for ceremony or war
would often be adorned with striking regalia, as well
as painted. The beauty and mystery of the Indian horse
mask as the emblem of a warrior Pony is captured with
great power by an Oklahoma historian/artist in this
masterful tribute to Chief Joseph. The legendary leader
of the Nez Perce, who is credited with the successful
breeding of the Appaloosa, is remembered for his
principled resistance to the forced removal of the Nez
Perce from their Idaho homelands. Chief Joseph's
surrender speech, in which he said "From where the sun
now stands, I will fight no more forever," immortalized
him in American history and popular culture.

Cloud Hunter
SKU: 4046337
Typical of the speech of a cowboy, the ways of a
bucking
horse were referred to in colorfully descriptive
terms.
When a horse reared wildly and vaulted upwards, mane
flying and hooves flailing as if it intended to go
up and
up into the sky, it was called a cloud hunter. By
making the horse a Paint whose spots take on the
appearance of thunderclouds, the artist has added
another
layer of meaning to the old horsemans saying.

God Speed
SKU: 4046348
Created by an artist who is intimately familiar with
racehorses because she owns one, "Godspeed" is more
than a brilliant rendition of a jockey on a
Thoroughbred whose tail and mane flag in the wind as
they speed towards the winners circle. Wearing
checkered blinkers (symbolic of the checkered flag
associated with a winner) and colorful silks (that
identify the owner and carry a shamrock for good
fortune), it is a lucky piece in its own right. The
title comes from a term used when trainers send
their
riders out for a race, and wish them a safe journey
and
safe return. For those who believe in luck, it is a
gift of hope for a prosperous journey through life.

Unconquered
SKU: 4055520
On a literal level, "Unconquered" depicts a

white stallion - radiant and shimmering, mane and
tail
flying in the wind, a symbol of power, strength and
renewal - rising Phoenix-like from the rubble of the
fallen World Trade Center that was attacked by
terrorists on September 11, 2001. But this only
tells
half the story, for there is a deeper meaning behind
this stunning sculpture. Unconquered" also stands
as
an inspiring and patriotic representation of the
triumphant response to adversity that defines the
indomitable American Spirit.

Yankee Doodle
SKU: 4040981a
Fireworks, a starry sky, an American flag, and notes
of
music strung across it all, this Pony reminds us of
the
song that was originally sung by British military
officers before the Revolutionary War to make fun of
the ragtag farmers that made up the colonial army,
whom
they perceived as country bumpkins. When the
Yankees
defeated the British, however, they began singing it
as
a proud anthem to taunt their English foes. Today,
Yankee Doodle is one of Americas most popular
patriotic songs.

Zuni Mare
SKU: 4018393
The Zuni Indians of New Mexico have inhabited the
deserts of New Mexico and Arizona for over 1,000
years.
Their pueblo was the first stop on the infamous
search
for the "Seven Cities of Cibola" by the Spanish in
1539. Among the rich traditions the Zuni are known
for
is pottery making. Zuni pots are distinguishable
from
the pottery of other pueblos by 1) material (Zuni
potters dig their own clay); 2) design (the surface
of
their pots is usually a reddish color superbly
decorated with fine lines and complicated geometric
patterns created with white paint); and 3) shape (in
addition to spherical bowls, Zuni pots were
sometimes
shaped like animals). Zuni Mare was respectfully
inspired by the traditions of ancient as well as
contemporary Zuni artisans. I WAS ABLE TO GET 3 OF
THESE PONIES. ORDER FAST THEY WON'T LAST

night - this artist has designed a Painted Pony that
collects only the good ones.

In the Wild West days, frontier sheriffs who did not
have access to badge manufacturers but wanted some
means of identification that carried authority when

sometimes cut stars out of tin cans. When added to
fancy shirts with Old West styling, spangled buttons,
and handcuffs that dangled like jeweled bracelets,
these Tin Star Sheriffs not only kept law and order,
they were the best dressed good guys of the Old West.

Ancient Dreams
SKU: 4058156
In ancient times, a small group of Indian people
occupied remote villages along river drainages in
the
desert Southwest. Climate change and warfare caused
them to disperse, and they effectively died out as a
tribe. When Spanish explorers arrived in the New
World,
the only things left of the Hohokum were the
elaborate
irrigation canals they had dug, and pots and shards
stunningly decorated with a distinct style that was
defined by red geometric designs repeated in small
motifs over buffware, and is remembered by this
award-
winning New Mexico painter.

Warrior Brothers
SKU: 4020478
A special bond existed between a warrior and his horse.
They communicated on the most intimate and subtle
levels. A whispered word, the squeeze of a leg or a
shift in body position could often determine the
outcome of a hunt or fight. As the Apsaalooke Chief
Plenty Coups is quoted as saying, "My horse fights with
me and fasts with me, because if he is to carry me in
battle he must know my heart and I must know his or we
shall never become brothers."
A warrior also often painted his favorite war pony with
the same pattern and colors he used for his own face
and body, letting everyone know that they were as one,
in heart and soul; that they were Warrior Brothers.
