Trail of Painted Ponies - Lightning Bolt Colt - LHS

 

Lightning Bolt Colt

Artist: Dyanne Strongbow (Choctaw)

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 centered in the horse's hindquarters, breaking up as it moved forward toward his head into the sunny skies of a new day.

Made of ceramic. Measures approx. 15cm high.
