The Trail of Painted Ponies - Let It Snow, Retired

Welcome to The Trail of Painted Ponies, where the inspirational power of the horse is imaginatively expressed by some of the finest artists in the country. What began as a fantastic public art exhibition in Santa Fe, New Mexico has expanded to new ranges with the introduction of a select line of high-quality figurines that honor the spirit of original Painted Ponies. Each Painted Pony is crafted with exquisite attention to detail, and each is a miniature work-of-art in its own right, which is why Painted Ponies figurines have become one of the most beloved collectibles in America.

From trailofpaintedponies.com:

“ 'During the holidays as a child, all I wanted for Christmas was a big fluffy snowfall so I could build a perfect snowman, decorated with a hat and scarf, sticks for arms, a carrot for a nose, and big black buttons of coal. Living in the Midwest, coal wasn’t readily available, so mom always had a tin full of buttons for the occasion.' Now, as an adult, this Iowa artist still finds something magical about 'big fluffy snowfalls,' and created a Pony designed to take everyone back to a time and place where they too waited with anticipation for the holidays and the chance to build that perfect snowman."
