Sarah got her first Painted Pony "War Pony"
in 2004. She quickly fell in love with them and started building
her collection but found they were difficult to get in Australia.
Sarah decided that Australia needed it's own specialised Painted
Pony source and so Sarah's Stableyard was born. We
now have 44 different painted ponies available, plus art prints,
lapel pins, pendants and collector's books and we are always evaluating new products. Sarah's personal collection
is steadily growing with the addition of many difficult to find retired ponies and some hand-painted originals.!
Sarah has been involved with horses all her life,
having owned several and being heavily involved in pony club and
showjumping in her teenage years. She is now mum to a three year
old Highland Pony named Akira. Akira recently won Supreme Champion APSB
Highland Pony at the 2006 Perth Royal Show.
About The Trail of Painted
Ponies
The Trail began in
Santa Fe, USA, in 2001 as a popular public art exhibition that
invited the very best artists in the Southwest to magically transform
life-size horses into glorious works of art. These stunningly
original artworks enchanted thousands of people and at auction
generated close to 1 million US dollars for philanthropic organizations.
Since that time The
Trail of Painted Ponies has expanded, putting on special art exhibitions
in other states, involving artists from around the USA in the
creation of one-of-a-kind horse sculptures, and producing a special
collectors edition of Painted Pony reproductions inspired by the
original works of art.
These exquisitely crafted figurines
have become one of the hottest selling collectibles in America.
From Main Street to museums, collectors and critics are raving
about the Trail of Painted Ponies.
The Trail of Painted Ponies has now
hit Australia so let your imagination run wild as you discover
this new art movement called "Pony Expressionism".
