Dillards Releases Exclusive Pony "Kindred Spirits"

Beginning in mid-March, 2008, "Kindred Spirits", a new figurine from The Trail of Painted Ponies, will be available exclusively at Dillard's Department Stores around the country. Check with your local Dillard's for availability.

The inspiration for "Kindred Spirits" is drawn from the artist's own love and deep respect for animals of all kinds, as well as her knowledge of the spiritual bond that Native Americans have always felt with animals. The bear is seen as a source of power, while the buffalo symbolizes wisdom.

The eagle is a visionary who sees the world with clarity, and the wolf teaches cooperation and the value of the extended family. This heartfelt and painterly Pony was a finalist in the national "Native of Art of Horse Painting" competition, and was created by Debbie Hughbanks, a western and wildlife artist residing in northeastern Washington State.
