Item #12267
Collect this FIRST EDITION TRAIL OF PAINTED PONIES TRAIL OF HONOR FROM THE ORIGINAL 2008 WINTER HERD RELEASE while they are still available. When this collectible pony is sold, there will be no more since the manufacturer has retired these beautiful ponies.
The inspiration for this Pony came to a Virginia-based artist while attending a Powwow, when she saw an American flag and an Eagle staff carried proudly by two Native American veterans of foreign wars. She imagined a Painted Pony that symbolically connected those warriors who courageously fought against the United States government, with those who proudly fought to protect America. It would be a white Pony painted with traditional Plains Indian symbols, standing between Old Glory and an Eagle Staff, with a royal blue coverlet draped over the horse’s back on which were sewn patches from each of the United States Armed Forces: the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. Devon lives in Warrenton, Virginia. Her original Masterwork, "Fancy Dancer", won the People’s Choice Award in the Native Art of Horse Painting national competition, and is also available as a figurine.
