To ride on a carousel is every child’s dream, and most adults find that carousels bring back the joys of childhood. “Bedazzled” embodies all the characteristics of the Coney Island carousel style that reached its peak at the turn of the 20th Century. “Her silver dapple coat, flowing gold mane and tail, and sparkling jewels would bring squeals of delight from any child,” says creator J.E.

In Lakota Sioux mythology, the horse is a Thunder Being who brings storms to Mother Earth. The thunder you hear is the pounding of his hooves. With thunder, lightning and rain come change... and change is like a new day. With this in mind, Native artist Dyanne Strongbow imagined a thunderstorm centred in the horse's hindquarters, breaking up as it moved forward toward his head into the sunny skies of a new day.

During the first half of the twentieth century, parades and horse shows held in conjunction with rodeos, fiestas and fairs throughout the West fuelled a demand for fancy, embroidered saddlery. Elegant, silver-mounted parade saddles, carved with floral and figural motifs, and with matching bridles, martingales and breast collars, were perceived as exquisite works of art. “Silverado,” a customized interpretation of this flashy tradition by Karlynn Keyes, Vice-President of The Trail of Painted Ponies, is a masterpiece by any definition.

A "stand-up" mane proudly displays pokers players BEST...A ROYAL FLUSH IN SPADES on one side and the other has a ROYAL FLUSH in Diamonds!

Super Charger

Item: 12232 Made of: Solid Resin Measures: 7" high Artist: Rod Barker

Price: £31.00

In the 15th Century, when knights were defenders of the faith, a woman's honour, or just about anything that endowed them with greater glory, their horses - called "chargers" - were their partners in activity and glory. Just as knights were flamboyantly dressed in spectacular body armour, so were their horses dramatically decorated. Standard equipment on this medieval steed is an elegant helmet, a sword with a jewelled hilt, a shield with heraldic markings, heavy padding for protection, and a lion, king of beasts, featured on the back of the saddle.

Horse With No Name

Item: 12229 Made of: Solid Resin Measures: 6" high Artist: Loran Creech

Price: £31.00

A story is told about a rider less Appaloosa, flamboyantly painted with symbols that portray a warrior's bravery during battle, wandering the prairie as if in search of his master. According to this tale, the horse would never let anyone else ride him, though many tried. The lightning bolt on his face, the sun on his shoulder, the circle around his eye, the handprint on his flank, the feathers in his mane and tail marked him as a horse with powerful medicine. And so he was allowed to roam the plains freely... to be eventually memorialized by New Mexico artist

Woodland Hunter

Item: 12220 Made of: Solid resin Measures: 6" high Artist: Kevin Kilhoffer

Price: £31.00

"Woodland Hunter came to me through research and study of the northern plains tribes," says Kevin Kilhoffer, a native of western Oklahoma who studies, draws and paints the American West. "I found records of a Franciscan missionary stationed at a fur trade fort dating back to 1836, and in his notes he described a Teton Sioux warrior who rode into the fort wearing a magnificent war shirt adorned with scalps and wonderful art work decorating his horse." Incorporating markings that tell of deeds, wisdom, wealth and bravery, and outfitting his Pony with a shield, weapons, saddle and bags for transporting food, Kevin has created an astounding and historically accurate tribute to that plains Indian warrior.

A former fashion designer from New Your City, Nevena wanted to create a horse that reflected the style and costumes worn by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers- '30s and '40s cowboy retro, in other words.

Fetish

Item: 12221 Made of: Solid Resin Measures: 6"high Artist: Lynn Bean

Price: £31.00

To Native Americans, a fetish is any object that possesses "spirit power." They believe that when the object is treated with respect, the spirit that resides within can bring its owner good luck, good health and a harmonious life. With this in mind, Oregon painter Lynn Bean created an extraordinary "fetish pony" on which the spirit images of different horses seem to emerge from inside a sandstone carving of a host horse, who wears a "power pack" of feathers, beads and shells on its back.

Incognito

Item: 1524 Made of: Solid Resin Measures: 6" high Artist: Janee Hughes

Price: £29.00

Writes Janee Hughes, a former art teacher and book illustrator from Salem, Oregon, "Biologists are not in agreement about the purpose of a zebra's stripes. Some say the wonderful patterns act as camouflage in the tall grass, but others say the stripes confuse predators. When a lion sees a herd of zebras, it is difficult for her to distinguish one animal from another in order to single out a potential victim. Whichever the case may be, it was great fun creating a herd of Grant's zebras living 'Incognito.'"
