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.

Dance of the Lipizzans
SKU: 4055524
The story of the Lipizzan has many dramatic twists
and
turns, starting in the 1600s when it was developed
as a
breed that could be taught to do difficult motions

including highly controlled, stylized jumps known as
airs above the ground. - and almost ending in
World
War II when the breed was saved from extinction by
American troops. With Dance of the Lipizzans, a
masterpiece by a New Mexico equine artist, the
legend
lives on.

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.

Dog Soldiers were the military elite within the
Cheyenne culture on the Northern Plains during the

1850s, when their homelands were besieged by fortune
seekers and homesteaders. Respected as well as

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.

Crow Warrior

age,

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.

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.

God Speed
SKU: 4046348

Painted Harmony was inspired by the close
relationship
between mare and foal, exemplified here by the
seamless
blending of this mare's coat pattern into her
foal's.
Painted Harmony was the winning design in a national
competition marking the 50th anniversary of the
American Paint Horse Association.

Panda Paws NOT AVAILABLE
SKU: 4049713
Its white coat and prominent black eye patches make
the
Panda one of the most recognizable animals on earth,
but it is also among the shyest and rarest.
Considered
a national treasure in China where it dwells in
misty
bamboo forests, it was once hunted in the belief its
colorful pelt provided magical protection against
evil
spirits. Now, there are a thousand or so left in the
wild, which is why it is on the Endangered Species
List. Panda Paws is this Canadian artists way of
keeping this adorable, gentle giant alive and well
in
our thoughts.

to a
royal son they endowed him with the power to fly
without
wings, the ability to dance without music, and the
endurance to rule over the vast Arabian desert. Last
of
all, they painted his nature with beauty and grace,
before enthroning him as Prince of the Wind.

RETIRED 2012 Village Christmas Cookie GONE
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.

Retired A Gift from the Sea GONE
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

the way into the great unknown, and he stands on the

welcomed a little touch of color, and some decorative
trim along a dress seam or a pink bow on their bonnets.

Retired Rockin Route 66 GONE
SKU: 4030254
Route 66 stretched more than halfway across the United
States, from Chicago to LA. For more than a half
century, it seemed that every vacationing American
family took a road trip along its route to see the
wonderful and whacky roadside attractions that were
designed to catch the eye of passing motorists. From
motor courts and Indian curio shops to fancy filling
stations, Route 66 had something for everyone. If you
were hungry, you could eat at the world-famous Big
Texan Steak Ranch (put away a 72-ounce steak dinner in
one hour and your bill was paid for you) or the
original Bobs Big Boy eatery. Its days of glory now
faded, the nostalgic attraction of the "Mother Road"
lives on in songs like "Get Your Kicks On Route 66" and
this Painted Pony titled, Rockin' Route 66!

RETIRED Runs the Bitterroot GONE.
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.

Retired Spirit of Freedom Rings GONE
SKU: 4027276a
In America, no bird has the symbolic power of the
eagle. Native Americans considered eagles to be holy
and their feathers sacred, which is why they adorned
themselves with eagle feathers to show their rank in
the tribe. It is said that the eagle became our
national emblem when, at one of the first battles of
the Revolutionary War, eagles circled in the sky above
the patriots fighting below, "shrieking for freedom."
Combining a bald eagle with red, white and blue colors
and the stars and stripes of the American flag, Spirit
of Freedom soars.

being and

with native dyes, so that all may see that help and
protection have come to him through the aid of his

Retired Tin Star Sheriff GONE
SKU: 4037604
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
they came up against dastardly villains, would
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.

RETIRED Trail of TearsGONE
SKU: 4030257
A dramatic and moving followup to the bestselling
Wounded Knee, Trail of Tears respectfully remembers one
of the saddest episodes in American and Native American
history: the forced relocation of the Cherokee Indians
from their Tribal Lands in Oklahoma during the brutal
winter of 1838. This Painted Pony represents the
struggle of the Cherokee people who were made to march
more than a thousand miles under the worst possible
conditions. There were many losses during this long
march, it is said that a beautiful Cherokee Rose grew
wherever a tear had fallen, in remembrance of those who
were lost. Somehow the Cherokee managed to survive the
cold and the snow, their dignity intact, in the belief
there were better days to come

Retired War Cry GONE
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.

Retired Warrior Brothers GONE
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.

a silver Longhorn steer medallion on the base... and
what do you have? A designer showcase of a Painted Pony
titled Western Charm.

Retired Westward Ho GONE
SKU: 4025996
Years ago, it was fashionable for travelers to adorn
their suitcases with colorful stickers that let the
world know where they'd been. This was especially true
of those taking road trips through the American West,
retracing the trails first traversed by wagon trains
that began their journey to California to start a new
life with the cry, "Westward, Ho!" Well-worn suitcases,
decorated with vintage stickers featuring states,
historic sites, national parks and roadside attractions
were the sign of a seasoned traveler and today they are
highly collectible. Westward, Ho! takes us all on a
trip back in time.

RETIRED 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
