Gifts for Horse Lovers - The Trail of Painted Ponies is a collection of figurines based on the life sized public art project of the same name. Collectors across America are falling in love with the Painted Ponies figurines, with people collecting not just one or two Ponies, but entire sets. It began in the fall of 2001 when a call went out to the artistic community around the state. Drawing on the popularity of animal art projects elsewhere, it was announced that new Mexico would host its own version. The critter featured was the horse because of the role it has played in the development of the cultures in our state. Painters, sculptors and graphic designers were encouraged to submit drawings with designs and themes that expressed whimsy, elegance and a respect for the region’s heritage.

A major sculptor was commissioned to create just one design so every artist came out of the same starting gate, and crossed a different finish line.

Corporations, small businesses, individuals and organizations interested in sponsorship were asked to select their favorite artist and design from the hundreds of entries. Chosen artists were given “naked” horses weighing 130 pounds and standing 5’ x 7½’ to paint. The results range from the delightful to the breathtaking.
