This Trail of Painted Ponies figurine presents Medicine Hat, a Paint horse in full stride decorated with the protective markings of Plains tribal tradition, hand-painted by artist Lorna Matsuda at 7 inches tall.
Fun Fact: Among the Plains tribes of North America, a Medicine Hat horse — identified by the colored "hat" marking covering the ears and poll — was considered sacred and granted its rider protection in battle. Warriors who rode them were believed to be invincible, making Medicine Hat horses among the most prized mounts in Plains culture.
Product Description: This Trail of Painted Ponies figurine brings Medicine Hat to life in a proud, forward-moving pose — her distinctive cap markings and symbolic folk designs woven across her coat in the hand-painted style that defines the TOPP line. Each figure in the collection is designed by an independent artist, and this one is the work of Lorna Matsuda, whose design reflects the themes of protection, strength, and good fortune rooted in the horse's Native American heritage. At 7.23 inches tall, it arrives in a decorative gift box with a collector card telling the artist's story behind the design.
