Ponies and Stagecoaches were intertwined in the 1800's in the West. This pony captures that moment. The artist, Johanna Enriqueaz, even used the colors symbolic of the Wild West. On this ceramic pony, appropriately named, Stagecoach Pony, you see a cactus near the tail. The Stagecoach with 8 horses sprawls along the entire side. Both sides of the Stagecoach Pony have the same scene. Made of ceramic. Dimensions: 6" x 7" x 2"
The official verbage for this pony is: "Relive the days of overland stagecoach travel in the Old West with a Painted Pony that captures a dramatic and symbolic moment in frontier history! Throughout most of the 1800s, stagecoaches were a primary means of transportation across the American West. They hauled passengers, mail and freight over vast, treeless plains, jagged mountain passes, scorching deserts, and rivers cursed with quicksand. To capture the iconic character of the stagecoach, this artist – formerly with National Geographic Magazine’s Art Division - imagined a horse-drawn stagecoach running from danger – attacking Indians or outlaw robbers – down a dusty trail, silhouetted against a sunset sky
All her life this young Canadian artist wanted to work in the art field, an ambition that was fulfilled when she was hired as an illustrator for National Geographic Magazine."
