WOODLAND HUNTER
FIGURE
Made of resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Artist: Kevin Kilhoffer
"Woodland Hunter came to me through research and study of
the northern plains tribes," says Kevin Kilhoffer, a native of western
Oklahoma who studies, draws and paints the American West. "I found
records of a Franciscan missionary stationed at a fur trade fort dating
back to 1836, and in his notes he described a Teton Sioux warrior who
rode into the fort wearing a magnificent war shirt adorned with scalps
and wonderful art work decorating his horse." Incorporating markings
that tell of deeds, wisdom, wealth and bravery, and outfitting his Pony
with a shield, weapons, saddle and bags for transporting food, Kevin has
created an astounding and historically accurate tribute to that plains
Indian warrior.

THE MAGICIAN
Made of resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Artist: Andersen Kee
In certain plains Indian tribes there was a
special tribal figure who spoke to and for the horses. He
was believed to possess supernatural powers, and called "The
Magician." As rendered by Taos artist Andersen Kee, who was
born on the Navajo Reservation and whose mother was a weaver
and father a silversmith, the "Magician" is releasing a herd
of multi-colored spirit Ponies from the inside of his elk
skin robe, and then gathering them on the backside.

FETISH PONY
Made of resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Artist: Lynn Bean
To Native Americans, a fetish is any object
that possesses "spirit power." They believe that when the
object is treated with respect, the spirit that resides
within can bring its owner good luck, good health and a
harmonious life. With this in mind, Oregon painter Lynn Bean
created an extraordinary "fetish pony" on which the spirit
images of different horses seem to emerge from inside a
sandstone carving of a host horse, who wears a "power pack"
of feathers, beads and shells on its back.

SILVER LINING
Made of resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Artist: Star Liana York
In Greek mythology, Pegasus is regarded as
the horse of the Muses, and has always been at the service
of poets. And so the story is told of a handsome youth who
jumped on the back of a horse that unfolded the splendor of
a mighty set of wings and soared towards the heavens...
where he can still be seen as the star constellation,
Pegasus. Santa Fe sculptor and horsewoman Star Liana York
created the original, crystal-eyed interpretation of the
legendary flying steed to benefit a therapeutic horseback
riding program.

GIFT HORSE
Made of resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Artist: Misty Lynn Auld
In celebration of the way Painted Ponies have
become the perfect gift for holidays, birthdays and
anniversaries, we asked Misty, an artist from Columbus, Ohio
who is a member of League of Animal Artists, to create a
Pony that would be appropriate for every gift-giving
occasion. Standing on a beautifully wrapped purple package,
dressed with cakes, party hats, streamers, balloons and
presents, and wearing a candy-colored halter, "Gift Horse"
is a virtual Painted Pony party that is as much fun as it is
innovative.

NATIVE PEOPLES HORSE
Made of resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Artist: Frank Salcido
As an artist, I have always had this vision
of different cultures around the world coming together
sharing their beliefs, customs, blending as one on this
small planet we call Mother Earth," says Frank Salcido, a
Navajo from the Standing House Clan, living in Portland,
Oregon. With both sides of his Pony's face represented by
Aztec and Mayan warriors, adorned with tribal figures from
an Australian Aborigine to an African Masai woman, Frank has
fulfilled his artisic mission of using positive themes to
contemporarily showcase traditional lifestyles.

HORSEPOWER TO BURN
Made of resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Artist: Rich Mattson
He came of age in the '50s, when hotrods and
drag racing were "cool," when flames and checkered flags
were stock images in car magazines. Years later, after
three-decades teaching art and coaching basketball and
winning an award as the New Mexico Art Educator of the year
in 1988, Rich would draw on those times, those memories,
when he was encouraged to paint a Pony by a NASCAR fan.

BLONDES
Artist: David DeVary
Made of ceramic. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
David DeVary is one of an emerging group of so-called "New West" artists
who celebrate the myths of the American West. His oil and gold-leaf
paintings, boldly colored and dramatically toplit, present contemporary
cowboys and cowgirls in the guise of romanticized American icons. Posed
like glamorous fashion models on the sides of a beautiful Palomino,
their eyes shadowed by a low-tipped cowboy hat, the women on this Pony
intentionally glorify the freedom and self-confidence we associate with
"the cowgirl."

DREAM WARRIORS
Artist: Ross Lampshire
Made of solid resin. Measures 7" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
"My best designs come to me when I am quiet," says Colorado artist Ross
Lampshire, perhaps best known as a rodeo photographer and potter. "An
image or idea enters my mind almost as a whisper... and fast takes on a
life of its own." Inspired by written accounts of Sitting Bull's dreams
prior to battle, Ross had his own dream one night of Sitting Bull
silhouetted against a full moon with clouds parting, as if in search of
a vision. Working in a stylized manner, Ross has created a dramatic,
powerful and flowing design that honors this famous Sioux chief.

HORSE WITH NO NAME
Artist: Loran Creech
Made of solid resin. Measures 6" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
A story is told about a riderless Appaloosa, flamboyantly painted with
symbols that portray a warrior's bravery during battle, wandering the
prairie as if in search of his master. According to this tale, the horse
would never let anyone else ride him, though many tried. The lightning
bolt on his face, the sun on his shoulder, the circle around his eye,
the handprint on his flank, the feathers in his mane and tail marked him
as a horse with powerful medicine. And so he was allowed to roam the
plains freely... to be eventually memorialized by New Mexico artist
Loran Creech.

MANY TRIBES

From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Also available in the
Pottery is one of the oldest art forms in the Native American culture,
and each tribe has a style which is traditionally its own. Today,
however, tribal potters borrow or copy designs and techniques from each
other. Drawing on the diverse animal and geometric patterns found on
many authentic pots, Linda, a Delaware Indian living in Las Vegas, has
painted a Pony wrapped in the traditional and contemporary ceramic
designs of many tribes.

From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
Animals are important to the Northwest Native cultures. Using bold
colors and designs based on the Haida and Tlingit styles of art, Laurie
Holman, who lives and teaches art in Alaska, presents us with various
animal totems featured in traditional Alaskan stories: the Raven,
Grizzly Bear, Salmon, Eagle, and Whale. "I wanted them to cover the
entire Pony, like a puzzle, with all of the pieces telling the great
story of life, death and rebirth."

SUPER CHARGER
Artist: Rod Barker
Made of solid resin. Measures 7" high.
From The Trail of Painted Ponies.
In the 15th Century, when knights were defenders of the faith, a woman's
honor, or just about anything that endowed them with greater glory,
their horses - called "chargers" - were their partners in activity and
glory. Just as knights were flamboyantly dressed in spectacular body
armor, so were their horses dramatically decorated. tandard equipment on
this medieval steed is an elegant helmet, a sword with a jeweled hilt, a
shield with heraldic markings, heavy padding for protection, and a lion,
king of beasts, featured on the back of the saddle.
"It is ironic," comments Rod Barker, Executive Director of The Trail of
Painted Ponies and the creator of "Super Charger", "that something which
achieves such a high standard of beauty was used as an instrument of
war."

LARGE MEDICINE HORSE
FIGURE
Approximately 8" by 10"
Artist: Liana
York
Recognized by Southwest Art magazine as one of the top 30
artists featured in their 30 years of publication, Santa Fe sculptor
Star Liana York is as well known for her detailed and sensitive
renderings of Native Peoples as her gift for capturing the spirit of the
horse in three-dimensions. With Medicine Pony, she has combined her love
and knowledge of people with special relationships to animals by
creating a Plains Indian ceremonial horse dressed with a collection of
personal objects believed to give the horse’s owner power: shields, a
lance, a bow, a pipe and assorted amulets and talismans.

"Tewa Pony," by Pueblo artist Tom Tapia, celebrates the
geometric and animal designs that have adorned Cochiti pottery for
centuries.
Known for his pottery, painting, and day job as a tribal policeman, this
Tewa native has adorned his pony with traditional designs. The sash
represents good faith and fortune, the blanket honors the horse as a
bold and strong being, the eagle represents good luck, and the handprint
stands for the loving touch of all creation.
