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.

If I order now will it arrive before Christmas
Response From Trailmaster:
Yes, but you must act promptly. The longer you wait, the more expensive shipping costs will be.

Are retired painted ponies worth more if you still have boxes for them.
Response From Trailmaster:
Yes, retirement is one of those factors that serious collectors take into consideration when trying to determine the value of a collectible like Painted Pony figurines. It goes back to supply and demand. If no more of something is being made, then what's already been made goes up in perceived value.

Can you tell me who sculpted the mold that is the base for Native Paint, Eagle Spirit, Unicorn Magic, Legend of the Blue Horse, and a few others. I know the artist varies but who initially sculpted this model horse. Thank you so much for your time.
Response From Trailmaster:
Kathleen Moody, a notable equine sculptor who lives in Phoenix.

When will the paint your own horses be back in stock? I’m really wanting to get the triumphant horse to paint.
Response From Trailmaster:
I wish we could give you more encouraging news about Paint Your Own Pony kits. Unfortunately, for reasons I won't go into, they became prohibitively expensive to produce - which means their cost to consumers would be prohibitively high too. We just haven't been comfortable proceeding until costs come down.

Do any of your painted ponies (reg sized) have sheep or goats on them? I see the nativity has a sheep, am wondering if any have multiple or assorted animals? Thinking along lines of a sheep herding design?
Response From Trailmaster:
Currently we do not have a Painted Pony design that features sheep or goats.

could you explain the numbering on the bottom of sounds of thunder, retired. 4E/0774. the 0774 is hand wrtitten. westland 2007 trail of tears. thank you.
Response From Trailmaster:
The first number before the "E" refers to the edition number. There are 10,000 figurines per edition. The second, hand-written number is the unique number of a figurine in that particular edition. A figurine with an edition number of 4E/0774 would be in the 4th Edition, number 774 out of 10,000.

Response From Trailmaster:
Please email a photo of the underside of your figurine's base to: info@paintedponies.com, and we will be happy to take a look at it for you.
