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.

how many ponies does the average collector own?
Response From Trailmaster:
We have no idea how to answer that question. Some collectors have collected all 200-plus figurines. Some have just one in their collection. So the average is somewhere in-between.

I had previously written to request retirement updates be added to the Collector Checklist. I see that the information has been added but only partially. Could the month and year be added to the 2 most recent retirement batches, please? I use this information in my sales. Thanks!
Response From Trailmaster:
This is being updated so check again soon. Thank you.

Currently, how many ponies in the collection?
Response From Trailmaster:
276 figurines have been crafted to date. And what makes that number extraordinary, is that if you look at the entire collection, you will see what we have not repeated ourselves. Every Painted Pony is uniquely different.

do you have an catalog that you could send out
Response From Trailmaster:
We do not create printed catalogs because we come out with four new Ponies every three months, and a catalog would quickly become out of date. On our website and on our official store you will find a complete and up-to-date list of Painted Pony figurines and ornaments.

What was the very first painted pony?
Response From Trailmaster:
The very first Painted Pony figurines came out in the Winter of 2003, and there were eight Ponies in the collection, including War Pony and Motorcycle Mustang.

My Bells & Elves ornament was broken beyond repair. Do I have any chance of finding a replacement pony? I would prefer to order through an established company as I have heard scary stories about dishonest people on the net. Can you help me? Thank you.
Response From Trailmaster:
I would check with our Official Store, which stands behind all orders and replaces Ponies broken during shipping at no charge.

Response From Trailmaster:
Sure. We offer Paint Your Own Pony kits on our Official Store for people to paint.

Response From Trailmaster:
No, but we are glad to provide contact information for the artists if collectors wish to approach them independently for an autograph.

What is the difference between standard and blue ribbon
Response From Trailmaster:
The Blue Ribbon Edition consists of very, very low numbered Ponies - 0001 through 0012. Otherwise, the castings are the same.-
