This creative interpretation of a vintage Indian Carousel Pony pays proud tribute to the artistic traditions behind the magnificent, hand-carved carousel horses that were popular in America at the turn of the century. With Native Dancer, we are commemorating this extraordinary art form and the artisans and craftsmen who elevated these elaborate Painted Ponies, as they were known, to a high art. At one time, more than 7,000 carousels – or merry-go-rounds – spun their magical spells in amusement parks around the world – and many of those carousel horses were museum-quality works of art. Regrettably, only 300 carousels remain in existence today; and they are still stunning and enchanting, after all these years.Title: Native DancerArtist: The Trail of Painted PoniesMedium: ResinMeasures: 7 H x 7 L x 2½ W

Once upon a time in ancient Persia, there was a stunningly beautiful girl who told entrancing stories to her King for a thousand and one adventurous nights! The King was mesmerized by her storytelling and her knowledge of history, philosophy, poetry and the arts. This young woman was well read and well bred and she entertained and educated the King about morality and kindness, which forever changed the way he ruled. Finally, the King made her his Queen and, to thank her for the many nights of storytelling, he gave his beloved wife a white Arabian Horse, dressed in a classical Arabian Horse Costume featuring intricate patterns, stunning colors and an abundance of tassels. They named their horse Arabian Nights.Title: Arabian NightsArtist: Karlynn Keyes with Bryn Wilkins LawsonMedium: ResinMeasures: 7¼

In horse racing, the front runner is a horse who takes the lead at the start of the race and maintains that lead until crossing the finish line. The Front Runner, which placed first in a national Art of Horse Racing competition, captures the thrilling run down the home stretch, at precisely that moment when the winning jockey glances back to check on his closest competitor. Horse racing is an ancient sport that began in 4500 B.C. among the nomadic tribesmen of Central Asia, who first domesticated the horse. Often referred to as The Sport of Kings, it is the second only to baseball as Americas most popular spectator sport.Artist Statement:As old as time, the drive and passion for running like the wind is carried in the blood of the mighty thoroughbred. Relive that excitement as The Front Runner, alone and out front since the gate, is finally challenged, but refuses to give up his place at the front of the pack; with a mighty snort and toss of his head he grabs the bit and powers ahead to finish first, a wire to wire win!This wonderful pony embodies all those thrilling moments these wonderful animals have given us over the years; those classic duels between Affirmed and Alyadar, Easy Goer and Sunday Silence and the memorable individuals who stunned us with their greatness: Secretariat, Northern Dancer, Cigar, John Henry and Seattle Slew. And who can forget the fillies: Zenyatta, Genuine Risk, Winning Colors and the immortal Ruffian. All have amazed us with their power and passion leaving us eagerly awaiting the next superstar to dance on the tracks!Title: The Front RunnerArtist: Kim RatiganMedium: ResinMeasures: 6½

About the ArtistThe 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.Title: Zuni MareArtist: Jesse LeachMedium: ResinMeasures: 6.5

The story of the Magi is celebrated each Christmas. Three Wise Men, or Kings from the East, followed a radiant star that guided them to Bethlehem, where they laid rare, precious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, before the baby Jesus. Many believe that these precious gifts brought to the Christ Child by the Three Wise Men, may be the origin of the custom of gift giving at Christmas, which has become universal.About the Artists: Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh is a collaboration between one of the largest dealers of Painted Ponies in the state of Oklahoma, and her best-selling artist. For years, Kami Cain has been the owner/operator of Kokopelli Trails, an art gallery located in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Aloma Wolfington, a native Oklahoman well known for her detailed treatment of Native and Western themes, is a close friend and the creative force behind the figurine Rolling Thunder. Kami had been waiting for a holiday Pony to come along that featured a nativity scene, because that?s the reason I celebrate Christmas. And one day she could wait no longer. She approached her friend with a name, the concept and a rough sketch, and Aloma took it from there, bringing the idea to life with inspiring beauty.Title: Gold, Frankincense and MyrrhArtist: Aloma Wolfington and Kami Cain Medium: ResinMeasures: 6.5

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 Regiment who lost their lives on June 26, 1876, in the Battle of Little Bighorn. Custers Last Stand, as it is also called, is remembered by most Americans as a shocking defeat for the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. But for Native Americans, it is remembered differently. Although it was a battlefield victory for the combined force of Sioux and Northern Cheyenne warriors, it represents the last chapter in their struggle to preserve and defend their homeland and traditional way of life. There has been no equivalent memorialization for the Indian dead, which gives War Cry – created in recognition of their heroic sacrifices – its power and poignancy.The Trail of Painted Ponies announces the first Painted Pony in the Masterpiece Collection, titled War Cry. This large Rearing Painted Pony stands 15 tall and features incredible detailing. War Cry makes a statement and will be an impressive addition to any collection.

About the ArtistThere were few things of more value to the Western Plains Indian Warrior than his horse. Although the duties expected of his horse often differed, depending on whether they were going forth with arrows to hunt for bison or wage war with enemies, his Pony was his fearless partner. Often, before entering battle or pursuing a herd of buffalo, a warrior would honor and protect his horse by dressing and painting him with power symbols. The designs on Little Brave have prepared him for the challenge of the day. Title: Little BraveArtist: Kevin KilhofferMedium: ResinMeasures: 7

The heroic prince or white knight of fairy tales usually ride a snow-white horse. Unicorns and Pegasus are generally white. Ancient authors have also written about a special white horse that was so superior and grand in size and speed that it caused a war.
