As a dealer of Trail of Painted Ponies since they began, I have an inventory of ponies like this one. These are brand new figurines, never sold before from my inventory. I love to help you add to your Collection or give as a gift

Artist: Devon Archer

“Wovoka’s Vision” takes its inspiration from the historic and tragic Ghost Dance, as the artist who gave us “Trail of Honor” has incorporated into her Painted Pony design colors and symbols from the apparel associated with this hopeful but heartbreaking tradition.

It began with a solar eclipse on January 1, 1889: A Paiute medicine man named Wovoka had a vision that turned into a movement known as the Ghost Dance. Wovoka’s dream centered on a ceremony he believed would reunite the living with the loved ones in the ghost world, replenish the buffalo, and ultimately restore the world to its original beauty. In his memory, and as a tribute to this important chapter in American Indian history, Devon Archer, a Virginia artist, has created a Painted Pony inspired by the colors and symbols that can be found on the traditional Ghost Dance shirts and dresses.
