This piece is huge and very heavy. It's nearly 12 inches high to the tip of the wings. Silver is a striking interpretation of Pegasus, the winged horse of the Muses. The body of the horse is an iridescent white with purple hooves and white jeweled eyes. The wings are white with beautiful light gray shadowing. As expected, the wings can be a problem. They can break completely off the body, and they also get chipped, cracked, etc. from moving the model and not allowing enough overhead space for the wings. Display with care under lighting and try not to move too much.

One of the more intricate pieces of the line, similar to Medicine Horse, Woodland Hunter is a historically accurate interpretation of a Plains Indian warrior. At first glance he looks gaudy but give the model a closer inspection and you'll discover a shield, weapons, saddle and bags for transporting food. The wonderful brightly colored, geometric blue and yellow markings on the horse tell of the deeds of the warrior. Finishing off the unusual coloring is a stark black tail, socks & hooves and a touch of black on the muzzle. The base is a realistic stand of grass, sand and rocks. The model presents with the usual problems of the complicated pieces, broken spears, missing string on the bow, missing feathers, etc. so check your model carefully. Display under lighting in a cabinet and away from curious fingers and paws.

Fetish marks the debut of Lynn Bean to the Trail. The sandstone textured finish is unique to this piece and quite interesting. Wonderfully muted colors of sand, pale green & turquoise as well as a bit of gray/black mark the outlines of seemingly emerging horses from the model itself. Intricate swirls surround the horses, extend down the legs and actually continue onto the base of the piece. A "power pack" of colorful feathers, beads and shells is strapped to the pony. Fetish presents with very few problems, mostly missing items from the fetish power pack. Display this model under lighting and out of reach of fingers and paws.

Beautiful piece in a lovely light and dark blood bay coloring featuring a magnificent Native American "horse whisperer" spreading wide his elk skin robe and releasing his herd of spirit ponies. He gathers them to him on the backside of the model. The shading on this model is superb, quite subtle but well worth noting. This pony is perfect on the running mold. The Trail would be wise to encourage this artist to submit more of his art. This model presents with no problems. Display under light to bring out those beautiful blood bay variations.

Year of the Horse is Lori Musil's second offering to the Trail line and is again in her ingenious signature style of blended images. This time her focus is the horse and boy does she focus! A Quarter Horse, a Thoroughbred, an American Paint Horse and an Appaloosa are a few of the ten graceful images on the curving body of this model. This piece is a fascinating work of art, warranting a close study to truly uncover the clever placement of the different horse images and a wonderful surprise in the visage of a mule, in particular Brighty from the beloved Marguerite Henry novel. Lovely cream colored mane and tail complement the marvelous colors of the body. The model presents with no problems. Display under lighting to release the colors of Year of the Horse.

High gloss ceramic with both sides of the model featuring images of Native People from around the world, including the Aztec, the Mayans, the Australian Aboriginal and an African Masai woman. The artist used pastel colors which is an interesting choice considering bold colors are predominant in Native artworks. A flowing rainbow extends from behind the ears and down a portion of the neck. The legs of the piece are all different colors, the muzzle is a light blue, the tail is multi-colored. Native was never a popular piece among collectors but seems to be holding it's own as far as value now that it's retired. A ceramic so display safely in a lighted cabinet.

Another high gloss ceramic in the standing mold. An imaginative use of imagery on this piece from her cute base of a pretty purple package to the candy covered halter. Brightly colored packages, balloons, party hats and streamers cleverly wrap Gift Horse quite nicely. This girl was moderately popular while in production and has remained so since being put out to pasture. The model presents with no problems. Displays best under lighting.

Horsepower is a striking high gloss ceramic piece. A NASCAR lovers dream horse with a checkered flag covering the body and smoking hot yellow, orange and red flames streaming down the neck and barrel, all the way to the flowing tail. A perfect design for the running mold. Glossy black base sports a single broken white line. Oddly, in my opinion, is the blank white face on the piece. That's a bit of puzzle. Horsepower appeals to a wide range of collectors from Pony collectors to NASCAR fans and has remained modestly popular after retirement. The model presents with no problems. Display under lighting in a cabinet or perhaps in a racing collection.
