This
exclusive Painted Pony  for Dillards Department Stores
is
a design by one of our celebrated Painted Pony artists, Janee Hughes, that honors the horses and riders who compete at the highest level of equestrian sports. There are six international  competitions show jumping, eventing, combined driving, endurance riding, dressage and reining and each event is represented in graphic detail on the sides of the Pony, The best American riders and horses work hard to qualify  for a position on international teams, and this Painted Pony is a fitting  tribute. Created exclusively for Dillard's Stores in 2011.
Some    interesting background: The history of equestrian sports dates back 2,000 years, to when the Greeks held chariot races and introduced dressage training to prepare their horses for war. It continued to develop as a military exercise through the Middle Ages until, at the beginning of the 20th Century, it was included in the Olympian games. Today, the popularity of horse sports has gone far beyond its traditional military base. It is the only Olympic sport in which men and women compete against each other on equal terms. It is    also the only one in which humans and animals compete together.
