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.

Is the Holiday traditions by Thomas Kulina going to available for purchase?

Response From Trailmaster:

Thomas did a great job with this Pony. Getting all the detail right on a figurine would be a challenge, but we will give it serious consideration.

Hello, is Wounded Knee an ornament yet? Hello, is Wounded Knee an ornament yet? Why is it SO expensive? Is there a list of ornaments so place? Thank you for your help! Happy New Year, too : )

Response From Trailmaster:

We created a "Trail of Tears" ornament first, and have felt that a "Wounded Knee" ornament would be too close in look and feel.

Joann Sleadd from Kalispell, Montana wrote on December 21, 2014:

received Cowboy Christmas as a gift the musical function plays so soft it cannot be heard unless one holds their head touching the figure, is this a problem with all of this issue or is it just mine. The store where my husband purchased it had three, but when we called them they said they had no more, I find it hard to believe all were sold, so I am going to drive into Kalispell and check it out. I love it, but it would be even better if the function would work. Please let me know if anything can be done to make the sound a bit louder, at least to hear it without putting your ear to the figure. Thanks, Joann Sleadd

Response From Trailmaster:

We're sorry that the musical function doesn't play louder. This is the first complaint that we have had. Unfortunately this piece was so popular that it sold out, and we did not stock extra music boxes.

I bought a couple of the blank pony casts, and would like to use Sculpey on them. Are these casts safe to bake?

Response From Trailmaster:

To be perfectly honest, we have not put the resin Paint Your Own Ponies to the oven test. What we would recommend is glueing the hardened Sculpy to the resin form.

Is there ever a chance that their will be a true nativity scene pony? my mother loves collecting nativity sets and it would be neat if you had a pony/donkey with that.

Response From Trailmaster:

We did have a true Nativity Scene on a Holiday Pony in 2013. We decided to do it a little differently this year.
