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.
Can you tell me the history of 2006 Year of the Horse #12223?
Check out the Registry, which is under the Collectors drop-down menu. If you go to the Collectors Guide section you can look up the story and information on any figurine crafted to date.
I have collecting painted ponies for years. Where can I find retired painted ponies, that are sign with sign paperwork to purchase?
Some artist-signed Ponies are available on eBay. We also have some artist-signed Ponies on the Official Trail of Painted Ponies Store. As well, if you contact an artist directly, they may have some of their retired figurines they would be willing to autorgraph and sell to you.
My sister said she saw a mardi gras horse in a magazine. Did you make tose and can we still get it?
Unfortunately, the image your sister saw was not an Official Painted Pony. We have not created any Mardi Gras Ponies.
I have 2009 and 2007 Christmas painted ponies. you said we could sell them on eBay, is there any other way to sell them? And how much are they worth? Perfect condition, box included?
I'm going to let my answer to this question be a response to a number of other Ask the Trailmaster questions that have come in. First, it is impossible to say exactly how much a retired figurine is worth. We do not have a way of determining a set value on older Ponies. It all depends on how rare it is, its condition, whether it was signed by the artist, what the demand is, how much a collector is willing to pay to add it to their collection. Some figurines may be worth the retail price you paid when you bought it, while someone who wants to add a particular Pony to their collection may be willing to pay a significantly higher price. Many of the retired earlier Painted Ponies, with low numbered editions, are selling for hundreds of dollars. The highest price we are aware of paid for a retired Pony was $1,200. Secondly, we are in the process of developing a place for people to buy/sell rare Ponies, but for the time being the best place to go is eBay, or, additionally, a new place that has just been brought to our attention. It has a long address but may be worth your checking out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PaintedPoniessellbuyswapauction/
just obtain two pictures of black and white ponies with some red painted on burlap with the artist name bibi. it is numbered.
This doesn't sound like an Official Painted Pony. There have been several knock-off painted horse lines and perhaps this picture is one of them.
Do all painted ponies come in a box. Some have that they come in laminated boxes others say nothing about being boxed.
When purchased new from a reputable retailer, or the Official Trail of Painted Pony Store, all legitimate figurines come in a laminated box.

I received a Magic Mystic Mare for my birthday - it is a 1E/ however it is not numbered - what does this mean?
I hate to say it but it means that a human error took place. All the Painted Pony figurines are supposed to be hand-numbered on the underside of the base, and someone messed up.
My beloved Medicine Horse and Sacred Refelction of Time Ponies broke during a Relocation service. Were can I fine them again? They were a presentar for my Husband. Thank You in advance. Adriana.
Your best bet is eBay, but we will let several private sellers who have collected special Painted Ponies in the past know which Ponies you are interested in. Please contact Rikki at: rikki@paintedponies.com.
My wife and I just moved into a new house,and five of her special ponies got broke in the move,I know they can be glued but I would really like to possibly find her some to replace them if any one had them for sale. I will get all the information and submit it later.
When you do identify the broken Ponies, let us know. We may have some in the Vault or in our Official Store. Contact: rikki@paintedponies.com.
