The Trail of Painted Ponies The Night's Watch
The Trail of Painted Ponies The Night's Watch
Not only did the horse give a tribe increased mobility, it could also be a “guardian of the night,” alerting members to the presence of dangerous, nocturnal predators. The approach of bears and wolves in search of prey would often evoke snorting, kicking and rearing, which would wake sleeping men, women and children. With this in mind, this Phoenix, Arizona artist imagined a Painted Pony as a talisman whose powers were told by native depictions of the wolf and bear etched into the hair on his sides, and would constitute a protective force against night attacks from anything at any time.

The Trail of Painted Ponies, like its predecessor, the Cow Parade, are beautiful, often humorous, replicas of the original public art displays. The original Trail of Painted Ponies consisted of life-sized ponies, painted and decorated by top artists from across the country. They were displayed in public places throughout New Mexico, after which they were auctioned off with most of the proceeds going to youth, arts, social, cultural, animal and environmental non-profit organizations.
Westland Giftware has created these figurine replicas of the original Trail of Painted Ponies. The figurines are either resin or ceramic, and each is hand-numbered. The whimsical designs and beautiful craftsmanship make them an instant favorite for any collector or horse lover.
