Apple-Oosa From The Trail of Painted Ponies
Artist: Penny Thomas Simpson
Writes the artist, “This Pony has a patriotic theme without the usual
red, white and blue, stars-and-stripes motif. What is more American than
the apple? Hot dogs, baseball and APPLE pie… I rest my case.” Working
primarily in watercolors and colored pencils, Penny has won a variety of
national awards for her still-life paintings – thus the exquisite
realism of the apples adorning her Pony’s flanks.
Made of resin.

Fantastic Fillies From The Trail of Painted Ponies
Artist: Janee Hughes
When she was invited to paint a Pony that honored the racehorse, Janee,
a children's book illustrator, imagined four fast fillies charging down
the homestretch, the winner crossing the finish line a nose ahead of the
others. The artistry in her design is heightened by the contrasting
colors of the horses and the silks of the jockeys set against a
midnight-black background, and the determination and courage etched on
the faces of the fillies.

Grandfather's Journey From The Trail of Painted Ponies
Artist: Buddy Tubinaghtewa (Hopi)
As a young boy growing up on the Hopi mesas of Northern Arizona, Buddy
would accompany his grandfather, a Hopi war chief, as he made his rounds
on the back of a donkey, checking on the corn fields and herding sheep.
Years later, when he developed into a multi-talented artist, collected
by enthusiasts from around the world, Buddy would credit his
grandfather's gift for storytelling with the imagery - Kachina figures,
corn maidens, lightning storms - that found its way into his cottonwood
carvings, his mystical oil paintings and his fabulous Painted Pony.

Children's Prayer Pony From The Trail of Painted Ponies
Artist: The Youth of America
In times of great distress, it seems that many Americans turn to prayer,
one of the oldest and simplest forms of communication, and truly one of
the most powerful and inspiring. In the fall of 2001, at a time when
this country was changed forever, children of many faiths from across
the United States were invited to share their most prized possessions -
their prayers. The compassion, courage, hope and forgiveness they
expressed in words and art were collected in a bestselling book -
Children's Prayers for America - and are shared on this special,
heartfelt Pony that is an expression of hope in its most humble form.

Anasazi Spirit Horse From The Trail of Painted Ponies
Artist: Robert Rivera
The intricate black-and-white designs found on Anasazi pottery at Chaco
Canyon, which reflect the timeless character of ancient cultures, are
the inspiration behind this astounding work of art. Of French and
Spanish descent, Robert has also added new dimensions to the art of
gourd painting, for which he is respected and collected worldwide. A
versatile artist, his horizons are constantly expanding, making him one
of the most exciting talents working today.
While this horse is decorated with designs found on Anasazi pottery that
dates back 900 to 1200 years, the fact is the Spanish had not yet
arrived on these shores when the Anasazi culture flourished. While
painting, the artist found himself thinking about the logs that were
hauled by hand from the timbered mountains hundreds of miles away to
build the structures at Chaco Canyon, the heart of the Anasazi culture.
As he painted, he toyed with an alternate title: "Where Were You When We
Needed You."
Made of resin.
Measures 6" high.

THUNDERBIRD SUITE
Artist:
Joel Nakamura
''The Thunderbird glided across the
sweeping plains of the West. A harbinger of rain and new life, the great
bird was both feared and revered. The blink of its eye could cause bolts
of lightning to flash; the flap of its wings could create thunder. It
was said that a young warrior both brave and fast enough to ride his
horse under the bird's great shadow would gain sacred spiritual powers.
In the calm before the rains would fall, if you listened carefully, you
could hear singing and the music of the Great Spirit...
Made of solid resin.

Blue Medicine From The Trail of Painted Ponies
Artist: Mary Iron Eyes (Osage & Eastern band Cherokee)
The artist had this to
say about the original:
''Blue Medicine is not only a piece of art that impacts those who
witness it, but it is also an intricate part of expressing healing and
support for New Mexico's communities. It is important to acknowledge all
the people, children and families who placed their individual hand
prints that completed a vision and personal prayer.
May we all remember that we should embrace the highest good for those in
need. Art is life and we are fortunate to be able to follow its path.
Horse Power New Mexico has been the path for many of us.''
