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 it possible to purchase just the boxes, like the ones the figurines originally come with? We have 4 ponies from around 12? 15? years ago, and have lost some of the boxes during moves. Any suggestions? Thnx! IMF

Response From Trailmaster:

I wish we could accommodate you, but fifteen years ago we didn't know we would be around this long, so we didn't manufacture extra boxes.

Two Ponies were donated to the church for a fundraiser. We need some information and value to post with the figurines. 1. Item 1508 4E/4.305 Kokopelli Pony 2. Item 12221 Fetish Pony 4E/2.003 Of Course the artist & year are on the base plate. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Mary Anne

Response From Trailmaster:

Both of these Ponies have long been retired. You can Google information about the artists - Joel Nakamura and Lynn Bean. If you go on eBay you may be able to see what they are currently selling for. Good luck with the fundraiser.

Hi Rod and Ricki, Would you be so kind as to send us a press release with a little confidence building words about our ponies coming from China and the eagerness we all have to keep production safe and sound. <3 Thanks, Betsy

Response From Trailmaster:

Thanks for asking this question. We checked with our manufacturer, Enesco, and their response was the same as what the CDC is saying. "The transit time from China would not allow for any live virus to live on the surface for that length of time." So there is nothing to worry about when it comes to Painted Ponies.

What is the value of a pre-addition Item #1455 Karuna 2003 pony

Response From Trailmaster:

It's hard to say what exactly it can be sold for. This is a very rare Pony, and if it's in good condition and you have the original packaging, it should easily sell for more than $400.

When will the "Paint your own pony kit" be back in stock, if at all?

Response From Trailmaster:

Thank you for this question. We are in the process of deciding which form we should proceed with in the next Paint Your Own Pony kit.

At one point we did have Painted Pony necklace charms. But the line was discontinued.

Hello, Would you be able to advise on when the 2020 Holiday collection will be released? I am looking for Graveyard Gallop and Mistletoe Kisses

Response From Trailmaster:

We will be announcing these Ponies in February. But because they fall into the category of Holiday Ponies, they won't be shipped until late summer.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I can't answer right away, but I can assure you it will be looked into immediately and someone will be back in touch with you. Sometimes fulfilling international orders, particularly over the holidays, can be a challenge.
