The Trail of Painted Ponies DECK THE HALLS CHRISTMAS PONY #12216
, brand new with original hang tag and box.   IT IS A 1ST EDITION #1E/1352 WESTLAND GIFTWARE HORSE & IS NOW RETIRED!! Imagine a Painted Pony spruced up as a Christmas tree in fresh greenery, decorated with vintage Christmas ornaments and red bows, strung with tinsel garland and multi-colored lights, and posed on a Christmas skirt that sparkles like a magic carpet. That’s what the Design Department of The Trail of Painted Ponies had in mind when it created a seasonal selection that captures the Christmas Magic expressed in the carol, “Deck the Halls.”
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. By developing a regular retirement program, Painted Pony figurines have made the leap from charming collectibles purchased because people like the way they look and make them feel, to investments that are appreciating in worth. Several of these early retirees have now sold for well over 0. Collect these now before they climb any higher! These delightfully gorgeous Horses will surely be a highlight of any collection.
