The Phoenix Pony was inspired by The Phoenix Sculpture, commissioned by DELSTAR Companies, Inc. to be the official logo of The Phoenix Shop located on the D concourse of Terminal 4, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The Phoenix Shop rose out of the construction of a brand new concourse at Sky Harbor and is entirely devoted to Phoenix and Arizona. It is a boutique attraction that presents shoppers with their dream of "take home" treasures from our exclusive product line.

The Phoenix Sculpture, as well as, The Phoenix Pony, is a tribute to both the City of Phoenix and to Sky Harbor's art program, which is praised as one of the best airport art programs in the entire country. The Phoenix Pony stands as a tribute to a timeless myth and the beautiful city that shares its name, and to the human capacity for renewal and rebirth.

The Phoenix Pony was commissioned by and is exclusive to DELSTAR Companies, Inc. through The Trail of Painted Ponies, Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona.

Carefree, Arizona artist, Wendy Wells-Bailey, sculpted the original tabletop sized Phoenix Pony. The Pony was then reproduced in its current collectible representation as a sequentially numbered edition figurine exclusively available through DELSTAR Companies website and its selected retail gift shops.
