The Trail of Painted Ponies - Dance of the Sugar Plum Ponies

20th Anniversary Edition 

Inspired by Tchaikovsky's 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' from The Nutcracker ballet, the artist, being a horse lover, always envisioned horse fairies, instead of human ballerinas, dancing across the stage, whenever she heard this piece. In addition to sparkling throughout a Sugar Plum Painted Pony, she was moved to write a Poem that begins:

"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the stable

The Ponies were restless, they were willing and able

To glide like sugar plum fairies through the cold winters night

To go prancing and dancing for the children's delight.

Free from their headstalls they whirled round and round

And exquisitely performed their airs above ground."
