The Trail of Painted Ponies is a beautiful line of Horse figurines introduced by Westland Giftware, the creator's of Cow Parade. It is modeled after the New Mexico-based public art project called The Trail of Painted Ponies. In the history of art, the horse has always been an enduring source of inspiration. Giftbeat, the publication that prides itself on taking “the product pulse of the gift industry” has ranked Painted Pony figurines, manufactured and distributed by Westland Giftware, #1 in the animal-themed collectible category. Painted Pony figurines are mounted on bases similar to more expensive art pieces, and are sequentially numbered on the underside so that collectors can immediately determine where their piece fits in the casting history, and collection value. By developing a regular retirement program, Painted Pony figurines have made the leap from charming collectibles to investments that are appreciating in value. Several of these early retirees have now sold for well over 0. If damage occurs during shipping, it is the buyers responsibility to file a claim with the carrier. You paid the shipping.
