The Trail of Painted Ponies
by Rodney Barker
In 2001, Rodney Barker took a time out from writing books to mount The Trail of Painted Ponies, a Santa Fe, New Mexico-based public art project that invited artists to express their creativity on the canvas of life-size resin horse sculptures. So successful was the project that it evolved into a business, and two years later The Trail came out with a line of resin and ceramic figurines that would become one of the most popular collectibles in America. In addition to adding a dazzling chapter of the history of the horse in art, Barker assembled and published a series of books that photographically celebrated the amazing artwork, and became bestsellers in their own right.
