"The Race" is an original, figurine sized, resin pony depicting the Native American story of how the humans became the rulers over all the animals.  According to the story, one day the Buffalo and humans began to argue over who should be the ruler of the animals.  It was decided that the issue would best be decided by having a race.  The winner of the race would become the ruler of all the animals.  The humans pointed out to buffalo that it was unfair because they had four legs, and the humans only had two.  It was agreed that the human could have the Birds race in their place.  Four birds participated in the Race against the Buffalo: a Hummingbird, a Meadowlark, a Hawk, and a Magpie.  The story will be provided with the pony.

The pony has been mounted on a lighted, round dichromatic base that changes colors as it slowly turns within an oak and glass display case measuring 12" X 12" X 12". The rear panel has been etched with a background that features the running buffalo design.  It is a one of a kind piece, and the first of several ponies I have planned which will graphically depict Native American stories and folklore.

"TRINITY" is the name of the Pony below.  It has a wrap around design on both sides that is based on an earlier painting I have done.  It uses the same design style as Dream Warriors.

Humbug!

This Pony was awarded honorable mention in the holiday pony contest on the trail
