About The Trail of Painted Ponies


Dakota Expression offers The Trail of Painted Ponies collectable figurines.

The Trail of Painted Ponies originated in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2001 as a public art project that invited one-hundred and twenty artists to let their imaginations run wild, and creatively transform life-size fiberglass horse sculptures into original works of art. When they were later sold, they generated close to one million dollars for different arts, cultural, youth, animal, social, and environmental organizations.

Since that time, The Trail of Painted Ponies has:

  • expanded to create new, scaled-down horse forms for artists to paint
  • mounted a series of national art competitions
  • introduced a line of high-quality, Painted Pony figurines, inspired by the original Painted Ponies-becoming one of the most popular collectibles in America
