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 looking for a painted pony with barrel racing or pole bending theme , is there any out there for sale ? Thank You ....

Response From Trailmaster:

We have created several rodeo-themed Painted Ponies, with more coming. But none that specifically draw on the barrel racing event.

Will there be a Crazy Horse Memorial themed pony in the future? http://crazyhorsememorial.org/

Response From Trailmaster:

There was a life-size Painted Pony created by the acclaimed Native artist CJ Wells that was a tribute to Crazy Horse, but nothing is currently planned that celebrates the mountain that is being carved into a representation of Crazy Horse.

Will the Fall Harvest 2013 winners be for sale?

Response From Trailmaster:

In January 2014 we will begin offering winners of previous Fall Harvest art competitions for sale. Depending on collector response, this will be the beginning of a "new" collection within the overall collection. If the response is positive, then chances are good you will find some of the Fall Harvest 2013 winners for sale in the future.

do you have any figurines or ornaments for new babies, or babies in general? Thank you

Response From Trailmaster:

Some of the Summer and Fall Painted Ponies should appeal to younger "collectors-in-training," but as for "babies," not specifically. You might want to consider some of the Holiday figurines and ornaments, however, which Santa would be glad to deliver....

I have ordered Friends Forever and would like to know the measurements of the box the figurine comes in (not the overpack shipping box but the actual box the horse is in). This is being shipped to another address and I need to provide a bag to gift the figurine in.

Response From Trailmaster:

Sorry to get back to you late on this question. The "Friends Forever" box is 10" long, 4 1/2" wide, and 8 1/2" tall.

Hi, I got the most recent newsletter and it mentioned that 6 more ponies have been retired. I got on the website to find out which ponies got retired, but I only found the ponies that got retired awhile back. Could you please tell me which ponies have been retired? Thanks so much!

Response From Trailmaster:

We had a lot of news to feature on the November Update so we did not call out the Retired Ponies the way we usually do on the website. To check the newly retired Ponies, go to What's New, then to Retired Ponies, and the latest "retirees" should show up. If that doesn't work, you may want to refresh your browser.

Will the Military Pony Contest Winners be available and when?

Response From Trailmaster:

We generally decide on our Painted Pony line-ups six months before their release. We are currently discussing summer 2014, so that would be the earliest. No decisions have been made yet.
