Do you have a question for us? Please use this form to ask.

We try to answer questions daily. Questions are not posted until they are answered.

Here are answers to the commonly asked questions about where to resell Painted Ponies, and what their current value is:

When collectors choose to resell their Painted Ponies, we recommend doing so on eBay. There is also a Facebook group, which was set up by Painted Ponies collectors and is not monitored by The Trail of Painted Corporate Office, where you can offer your Painted Ponies for sale. Here is a link to that Facebook group:

To find the current perceived value of your Painted Ponies, we suggest searching on eBay for the same figurine with a similar edition number. If you have an eBay account, you can look up what that particular figurine has sold for recently, and that will give you an even more accurate perceived value.

looking for a neon pony that i saw at dixie stampede in branson missouri
Response From Trailmaster:
The closest there is to a neon Painted Pony would be "Peace, Love and Music," a psychedelic-colored Pony that celebrates the Sixties by Howie Green, which just came out this past summer. You can find it on the Official Trail of Painted Ponies Store

The last we saw, she was galloping down the Yellow Brick Road to Music City... Just kidding. You can find this Pony at retailers across the country (Check our Store Locator for a store new you). Or, she is available through our Official Website Store.

Hallo, I´m a reseller of Painted Ponies in Germany. I buy my ponies by Enesco, Greatbritain. But I can´t get all your Products there. So my question is: Is there a possibility to buy the products directly, which I can´t get by Enesco? Greatings Bernd Schütte Stummeldorf 1 26419 Schortens Tel: +49 4423 6751
Response From Trailmaster:
Thank you for your interest in the Painted Ponies. Yes, there is an International Division of Enesco that operates separately from its representative in the UK. I will have someone contact you directly.

Love your horses, long time purchaser however, in the case of patriotic theme horses what attention is given to detail about the protocol of the flag. two horses recently viewed show one with the American flag and the stars on field of blue pointed to the rear of the horse, secondly another one with a saddle over the American Flag. both are violations of the code of display, nothing above or on the flag should ever be shown plus the the field of blue is always to the front.
Response From Trailmaster:
We apologize if anyone finds our Patriotic Ponies offensive, as we are unaware of a "code of display" that applies to artistic expressions that incorporate the American flag. Please forward any relevant information. Thank you.

Will any of the Fall contest winners become a Trail of Painted Ponies figurine for sale to those wishing to add to their collections?
Response From Trailmaster:
That's one of the ideas behind these competitions: to give new artists the opportunity to create Painted Pony designs that will be crafted into figurines.

Two Items in the vault my grandaughter wants are autographed and signed ponies What is th difference between signed or autographed?
Response From Trailmaster:
A "signed" figurine features the signature of the artist on the base, but is outside the Autographed Edition, meaning it is not hand-numbered and does not come with a Certificate of Authenticity. When we use the term "autographed" this means it is part of the Official Autographed Edition, and is hand-numbered and does come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

I really enjoy reading the stories and articles in the E-Magazine. Since you now have an E-Newsletter are you going to stop publishing the monthly E-Magazine?
Response From Trailmaster:
You can find the November E-Magazine on the lower right section of the Homepage of our Website. A lot of people enjoy reading this feature so it will be continued on a monthly basis.

I four horses on a shelf and they broke certain pieces off when the shelf fell, They are very old ones. Can they be repaired or replaced?
Response From Trailmaster:
Sorry to hear about the accident. Unfortunately we do not have a Horse Hospital for Painted Ponies, nor a repair kit. Perhaps a local crafts store could be of help.

I have 2 painted pony heads that are book ends Do you still make them?
Response From Trailmaster:
I think you are referring to the busts we made back around 2005. While they weren't designed as bookends, they certainly could serve that purpose. No, we haven't produced busts in quite awhile, and for the time being we don't plan to make any more. So hold onto those. They're rare.
