The Trail of Painted Ponies Enlivens the Pages of The Northwest Horse Source

by Karen Pickering

I’m so excited about our November issue! The Trail of Painted Ponies has graced our magazine with a heartfelt story about “The Fine Art of Giving.” Rod Barker, CEO and Founder of The Trail of Painted Ponies, is committed to the belief that giving can be a truly special gift for both the recipient and the giver. As a collector myself, Painted Ponies are one of my all-time favorite items to receive and give. They’ve also added a new line of candles that are absolutely delightful.

Rod’s story is one of a company that gives back to the community through fundraisers, charitable donations and a new program in which you can have a say in where a portion of your money goes. Read about the history of The Trail of Painted Ponies here, and look for the November cover story to tell you more about The Trail's community giving.

There are several Northwest retailers that carry the Painted Pony figurines, so check out the November issue for further information. The new magazine will be in the stands next week—some stores may even have theirs early! And, as always, the full issue will be available online, or you can subscribe to have it delivered right to your door.

As Rod says, Happy Trails!
