Frosted Black Magic Ornament
by Lorna Matsuda

Winter 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of The Trail of Painted Ponies. With that in mind, this artist created a sparkling tribute to a two-decade exploration of the creative possibilities of the horse as a canvas for creative expression with a gleaming, jet-black horse in a triumphant pose with a frosted coating of snow that shines like rare jewels, as precious as the joy the Painted Ponies have brought to collectors over the years. "Frosted Black Magic" was the winner of The Trail's art competition honoring this milestone.

Being a realist artist I strive to capture the true spirit and character of each subject I paint. The eyes are a very important factor when I do a painting. I work in many different mediums such as feathers, rock, leather, bone, as well as traditional canvas and acrylic based mediums, along with my beloved painted ponies. I also do commissioned work for clients. My art has been a life long journey and will be with me as long as I am able to paint, it inspires me and takes me to a place of peace and tranquility in the many hours I spend painting.

Goddess of the Garden Ornament
by Jesse Leach

Picture a secret fantasy garden where lush green plants and blooming flowers fill the air with a sweet fragrance; where a winding stone pathway leads you past pools and fountains and where butterflies and hummingbirds add that sweet sense of serenity that comes with feeling you are one with Nature. Look the right way and perhaps you will see "Goddess of the Garden," a gorgeous and graceful horse with wings, waiting to take you on a magical ride limited only by your imagination.

Starlight Dance Ornament
by Emily Overman

While the earth appears dark and quiet below, “Starlight Dance” illuminates the sky above. As she runs through the night she leaves a gleaming trail of light behind her, and stardust falls from her golden hooves. This magical mare is dancing to the melody of the universe, and her beauty lights up the heavens.

I have been drawing since a very young age, and I have become more passionate about art as I've gotten older. I am currently attending college for graphic design, and I have an interest in illustration.

War Magic Ornament

Through color changes and enhancements, and the addition of new religious symbols that add spiritual power to battle decorations, Master Artist Kathleen Moody has transformed “War Pony,” a tribute to the legendary fighting spirit of the Comanche Indians and The Trail’s all-time bestselling figurine, into a unique and entirely original design.

3.375" Tall		Lakota Ornament by Laura Robinson
		The Lakota Indians were known for their fierce defense of their traditional tribal lands, the most legendary example being the defeat of General Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. They were also known to have a special relationship with their horses, seeing them as brothers who would fight beside them in times of war. Here, “Lakota” rears majestically, letting his warrior rider know he is ready for battle. In addition to her art, she works as a groom and assistant trainer at a busy boarding stable, riding hunter/jumpers and dressage. In her “spare” time she landscapes her yard, mends fences, builds her own chicken coop, rides with her daughter, tries to keep up with her sons, and helps her husband with his electrical business! She finds that a little time in the barn is the best therapy in the world. The sweet smell of a horse’s breath, and a nicker from an old friend is very soothing and inspirational.
