Indian Pony's Prayer:
O Thou! swift my feet
Make me fleet for the big hunt
Make me humble enough to sense my Master’s needs
Make me sure when the ground is rocky
Make me strong to carry the heaviest of burdens
Make me courageous in times of War
Make me fierce when the battle is terrible
Make me fearless in the face of impending doom
Make me loyal despite the painful wounds
Make me obedient even unto death
Above all…O Thou! Swift be my feet
That I may always return my Master, safely home.
This Pony Figurine measures 6.5 inches Tall X 8.5" Long. This pony has not been airbrushed, but painstakingly hand brushed over and over, to attain this realistic pinto look. This was her first attempt at a pinto and she says that they have become a favorite now & there will be more pintos in her future. Even though Swift is seemingly Black and White....it took 8 colors of paint to acheive his Coat and 3 colors for his Base. She did not seal him... because she didn't want him to shine. He looks more authentic with the brush marks and true color. This pony is full of interesting symbolism. THIS IS NOT A TOY!
Swift is wearing a chest plate made of a Buffalo / Indian-head Nickel set atop a Black Liner. It is held in place by black cylinder beads ending in an Onyx stone at his withers. His headstall is simple with turquoise stone beads and silver feathers/leaves. On the side of the headstall is a silver ring with 2 colorful icicles draping down, his rewards for 2 wounds suffered. His deep Rust colored Back Pad has an amulet made of bone. Atop the amulet is a single Carved Sterling Silver "Wing" in Flight, to honor the Great Spirit that gives this Pony speed to run. On the other side of the ultra-suede pad is a painted-on silver pony running. This pony has 2 red spots on it to signify that he has been wounded twice in battle and being blessed, he survived by outrunning his enemies & carried his Master to a place of safety. Below the silver horse is 5 rows of hand strung beads in Black & White symbolizing the very RARE Black Overo Pinto. There is exactly "5" rows of beads.. to symbolize 5="Grace" of Thy Mighty Spirit. There is fringe below with more little silver feathers/leaves. Over his back & across his hind quarters is real feathers with larger onyx beads at the base of each. His back pad ties underneath. The Chest Plate, the Ultra-suede Back Pad, and the Halter can all be removed at will. The pony is signed on the bottom of the base by Kelly Hess. A COA will accompany Swift, signed by the Artist. Kelly appreciates each and every one of you that looked at her pony....... and hopes you all have a special equine Pal in your life! Thank you for looking!
