The Trail Of Painted Ponies BBB Business Review

Ask The Trailmaster

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 am considering to submit a few of my painted ponies. What are the deadlines for submission?
Response From Trailmaster:
The Trail of Painted Ponies is always accepting design submissions. There is a deadline for contests when they are announced, but there is no deadline for general submissions.

Hey Trailmaster. Being its been 20 years since you started, "Trail of Painted Ponies" are you going to be coming with special 20 year pony to commemorate the twenty years you have been bringing out ponies and promoting art and culture at the same time.
Response From Trailmaster:
There will be NEW 2023 Painted Ponies figurines and ornaments announced this year. In 2023, we will be announcing new Painted Ponies on The Trail of Painted Ponies Official Store when they are in stock and available for immediate shipping, instead of taking pre-orders, like we have done in the past. All 2023 Painted Ponies will commemorate the special 20th Anniversary of The Trail. Please be sure to check back for these announcements.

I purchased a figurine with the number 6E/2945 but I cannot locate it on your website. Can you tell me more about this one? Thank you.
Response From Trailmaster:
The number you reference is the edition number. There should also be the name of the Pony on the bottom of the base. You can learn more about that particular piece by tracking it through our website.
