Painted Ponies - Large Woodland Hunter Ref: PP12385

From The Trail of Painted Ponies. Woodland Hunter . Made of solid resin.

Artist: Kevin Kilhoffer

"Woodland Hunter came to me through research and study of the northern plains tribes," says Kevin Kilhoffer, a native of western Oklahoma who studies, draws and paints the American West. "I found records of a Franciscan missionary stationed at a fur trade fort dating back to 1836, and in his notes he described a Teton Sioux warrior who rode into the fort wearing a magnificent war shirt adorned with scalps and wonderful art work decorating his horse." Incorporating markings that tell of deeds, wisdom, wealth and bravery, and outfitting his Pony with a shield, weapons, saddle and bags for transporting food, Kevin has created an astounding and historically accurate tribute to that plains Indian warrior.

Artist: Star Liana York

Sponsor: Steve and Kim Benson

Recognized by Southwest Art magazine as one of the top 30 artists featured in their 30 years of publication, Santa Fe sculptor Star Liana York is as well known for her detailed and sensitive renderings of Native Peoples as her gift for capturing the spirit of the horse in three-dimensions. With Medicine Pony, she has combined her love and knowledge of people with special relationships to animals by creating a Plains Indian ceremonial horse dressed with a collection of personal objects believed to give the horse’s owner power: shields, a lance, a bow, a pipe and assorted amulets and talismans.

"The Thunderbird glided across the sweeping plains of the West. A harbinger of rain and new life, the great bird was both feared and revered. The blink of its eye could cause bolts of lightning to flash; the flap of its wings could create thunder. It was said that a young warrior both brave and fast enough to ride his horse under the bird's great shadow would gain sacred spiritual powers. In the calm before the rains would fall, if you listened carefully, you could hear singing and the music of the Great Spirit...

"I chose the Thunderbird myth as a vehicle for this project because it evoked images of the horse and music. The legend of the great bird is almost archetypal throughout America."
