This very detailed Trail of Pained Ponies figurine even includes real feathers. Comanche artist Rance Hood is one of the most recognized names in Southwest Art. His paintings, known for their drama and authenticity, hang in museums and corporate collections. The opportunity to recreate a traditional war pony, complete with a buffalo pelt saddle, lance-and-shield, arrows and feathers, became the pinnacle piece of his distinguished career. This startlingly realistic recreation of a Comanche war pony reflects the vibrancy and mystical quality of the horses that populate this popular artist's paintings.
