The Trail of Painted Ponies - Sacred Paint, 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:

Seeking a new way of rendering the inseparable relationship between the Indian and his horse, this full-blooded Seminole artist, whose great grandfather made the long walk on "The Trail of Tears" when the Seminole tribe was forced to move from the Florida Everglades to the Indian Territories of Oklahoma, turned the distinctive white markings of a Paint Horse into ghostlike portraits of his grandfather, animal spirits, and iconic images of Plains Indian warriors.

Artist: Gary Montgomery (Seminole)
