From the Trail of Painted Ponies Retired Figurines Collection, Apple-oosa. Designed by artist, Penny Thomas Simpson. Made of embellished ceramic. Measures 6" tall.

According to the artist: "This Pony has a patriotic theme without the usual red, white and blue, stars-and-stripes motif. What is more American than the apple? Hot dogs, baseball and APPLE pie... I rest my case." Working primarily in watercolors and colored pencils, Penny has won a variety of national awards for her still-life paintings - thus the exquisite realism of the apples adorning her Pony's flanks.
