Painted in conjunction with the Chinese Year of the Horse, this Western and wildlife artist from Cerrilos, NM, created a classic celebration of the different horse breeds of America.

From the American Quarter Horse to the Thoroughbred, Appaloosa and American Paint, ten horses move gracefully and majestically across the curves and bulges of the original sculpture, each exhibiting a personality of its own, with a style and flair that is Lori's personal hallmark.

Year of the Horse was introduced by Trail of Painted Ponies Winter 2006. It was retired February 2011. The last Year of the Horse figurine produced was #7E/664. That means that 70,664 ponies were made.
