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.

I have a Life size Painted Pony "JACS" 2004 Esther Simonson(artist)I looked up online only to read an article about "Jacs" and 3 other Ponies that all for ponies were Vandalized 2 of which were destroyed and could not be fixed. These Ponies estimated value $3400.00 and were to be Auctioned off at The Mayor of Temecula fund raiser. "jacs was auctioned off at this event. The Gentleman that won bid is how I found and own Jacs. The question I have is if Jacs was destroyed and is taken off list of being a Certified Painted Pony. Jacs is almost mint condion . He was not destroyed. I want him to be re certified with some type of explanation . You can look at newspaper story 2004 Painted Pony Project Temecula Ca. Thankyou I hope you can answer this question
Response From Trailmaster:
In the years 2001-2005, there were a number of public art projects mounted in cities across the country. In fact, we published a hardcover book on this subject called "American Art Parades." And some of these cities - Louisville, Lexington, Ocala, and Temecula - featured the horse as the mascot. None of these had anything to do with The Trail of Painted Ponies, however, which was based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. We created our own exclusive horse forms, and we are the only equine public art project that went on to create figurines. Sorry we can't be of more help.

My son was given a pony titled Native Jewel Pony. I know it is now retired, but is the only one he has and he no longer wants it. How do I let people who collect these ponies know it is for sale? About how much do you think it might be worth?
Response From Trailmaster:
We would recommend you post this Pony for sale on eBay. Not knowing its condition, its edition number, the state of the packaging, how much in demand it is, it would be hard to say what you can get for it. See if there are similar Ponies for sale on eBay, and price it accordingly.

I have a motorcycle mustang, pre-E,tag still on it, never been touched. 1,947. How can I find out how much it is worth?
Response From Trailmaster:
This is a rare and valuable Pony. As there is no hard and fixed Price Guide for Painted Ponies, the best we can do is mention what previous Ponies like this one have sold for. And that would be between $200-$300. Perhaps more, depending on how badly someone wants to add this to their collection. Good luck.

How to clean painted ponies that have accumulated dust on them
Response From Trailmaster:
We recommend two methods: air spray cannisters used to also clean keyboards, and a soft cotton cloth.

I have several painted ponies I have been collecting for years. I recently just moved and 2 of my ponies broke. How do I repair them.
Response From Trailmaster:
Without knowing the location and extent of the damage, we would recommend super glue. Or, you could take the broken figurines to a local crafts or hobby store and ask what they recommend.
