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 trying to find the artist information for Heavenly Pony #1594. Would you be able to help me with this? Thank you for your time!

Response From Trailmaster:

"Heavenly Pony" was created by the artist, Noel Espinoza, who was born in Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico. Of his inspiration he said, "the nobility and spirit of the Horse is so high and sublime, it led me to take it to heavenly heights in the shape of billowing clouds." It was released in the Winter of 2003, and retired in July 2008. The last number at retirement was: 6E/3549

Was there only one Lovey Dovey ever made?

Response From Trailmaster:

I'm not sure what you're asking. Lovey Dovey was released as a figurine and several thousand were produced.

Are painted paint your own ponies worth anything to sell? I was given one that is in new condition but I am moving house and have nowhere to display/keep it.

Response From Trailmaster:

Try selling it on eBay. Paint Your Own Pony kits are becoming increasingly rare since we stopped producing them.

I have three ponies that do not have boxes. Is there any PLace that I can find boxes for them?

Response From Trailmaster:

Sorry, but we did not produce extra boxes, and most serious collectors, if they have kept the boxes, are going to be reluctant to sell them.

What is the difference between your standard ponies and the higher priced ones?

Response From Trailmaster:

The main difference is the edition number. The higher priced ones are a lower edition number.

bonjour ,je possede un poney et j aimerais le vendre , mais je ne l ai pas trouvé dans votre collection pour savoir a quel prix je peux le mettre. je peux vous envoyer les photos. merci

Response From Trailmaster:

Les collectionneurs qui choisissent de revendre leurs figurines Painted Ponies le font généralement sur eBay, où il existe un marché secondaire. La meilleure façon de trouver la valeur perçue actuelle de votre collection Painted Ponies est de rechercher sur eBay les mêmes figurines avec des numéros d'édition similaires. Si vous avez un compte eBay, vous pouvez en fait rechercher le prix d'une figurine particulière vendue récemment, ce qui donnera une valeur perçue encore plus précise.
