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.

The dazzling results were displayed around the entire state of New Mexico where they were enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people.

Since that time, The Trail of Painted Ponies has expanded to new ranges. It has moved its headquarters to Carefree, Arizona. It has created new, scaled-down horse forms for artists to paint.

It has introduced into the marketplace a line of high-quality, Painted Pony figurines, inspired by the original Painted Ponies, that has rapidly become one of the most popular collectibles in America.

For all that it has done to honor the inspirational power and versatility of the horse as a "sculptural canvas" for creative expression, The Trail of Painted Ponies is proud to have played a part in the development of a new American art movement: Pony Expressionism.
