Buffaloes roamed the Plains and were an integral part of Indian life. Rolling Thunder is a 2008 Trail of Painted Pony creation. The bright blue pony is symbolic of a bright blue sky. Across the belly - on each side of the pony - is a herd of buffalo. Along the spine of Rolling Thunder are dark clouds and lightning bolts. The artist, Aloma Wolfington, lives in a small town in Oklahoma where she had seen many days with bright blue skies. Aloma has these comments: "Rolling Thunder" hearkens back to a time of big skies and fierce storms, of thundering herds of bison large enough to shake the earth beyond the horizon, and of Plains Indians and their spirited, sure-footed, courageous horses trained to carry bow-bearing braves through the stampeding confusion of a bison hunt.
