Four New Figurines Gallop Down The Trail!
In this economy, companies that do business the same way it’s always been done will find themselves losing ground. With this in mind, The Trail of Painted Ponies is pleased to announce a new release strategy for Painted Pony figurines. One that is designed to make it easier for collectors to purchase complete sets of new Painted Ponies, as well as to increase their chances of receiving low edition numbers.
Beginning with this June 1 announcement, we will launch four, fantastic, new Painted Ponies every three months, instead of eight Painted Ponies every six months. The total number of everyday Ponies we are coming out with each year will remain the same (sixteen, plus the Holiday Ponies and exclusives). The difference is that going forward we will announce four on June 1, four on September 1, four on January 1 and four on April 1.
Launching four new Painted Ponies every quarter will help us balance production so that shipments can become closer to the figurine announcement dates. It will also make it easier for us to include more recent submissions in the line-up.
Now, allow us to introduce the four June Painted Ponies. This release is distinguished by two of the most charming, rearing Ponies you have ever seen, and two Native Ponies that continue to pay homage to the special role of the horse in tribal life.
Every girl who has ever loved a horse will fall in love with “Cowgirl Cadillac,” we guarantee it.
Through the ages, the horse has been a timeless symbol of romantic inspiration, and continues to be in “Celestial.”
Dressing and painting a horse before hunting buffalo or going off to war was the equivalent of giving it the name “Little Brave.”
The Zuni tribe of the Southwest were known for pottery in the shape of animals, as illustrated in “Zuni Mare.”
