What started off in 2001 as a public art exhibition has become a worldwide phenomenon, and The Trail of the Painted Ponies is once again trotting and galloping with 10 new stunning figurines to add to the Painted Ponies stable. Each piece is hand crafted and painted, and the detail is amazing! From the delicate wings of a dragonfly to the last quill on a feather – it’s no surprise that Painted Ponies have developed a new art movement called ‘Pony Expressionism’. Made from resin, these exquisite equines are a fabulous gift to give a horse lover, art lover, or just to add some colour to your mantle piece.
