The Phoenix Pony to benefit
Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center's (SARRC)
New Campus for Exceptional Children.

In the history of art, the horse has been an enduring source of inspiration. The Trail of Painted Ponies has added a new chapter to this tradition by inviting the best artists in the Southwest to creatively transform horse sculptures into stunning works of art, and then crafting the original ponies into collectible figurines.

Painted Ponies have become the hottest collectible in America, and DELSTAR Companies, Inc. proudly sells these figurines in selected retail stores at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and Resort Gift Shops around the Phoenix area. In 2005, in honor of the opening of The PHOENIX Shop at Sky Harbor, DELSTAR commissioned Painted Pony artist, Wendy Wells-Bailey to create a special "Phoenix Pony" exclusively for DELSTAR. Now, for the first time in the history of the Phoenix Pony, numbers 26 through 500 first edition Phoenix Ponies (1E/0026-1E/0500), signed by artist Wendy Wells-Bailey, are being released by DELSTAR to benefit SARRC. For each Phoenix Pony purchased, DELSTAR will donate a portion of the proceeds directly to SARRC.

For the price of $275.00, your purchase includes the highly collectible first edition Phoenix Pony shipped in its original packaging, with story tag, and first edition number on the bottom of the pony guaranteed to be 500 or lower, and signed by artist Wendy Wells-Bailey. The price also includes a Trail of Painted Ponies “Paint Your Own Pony Kit”, a $24.00 value, which will be donated to SARRC in your name. This unique kit will benefit SARRC’s Art Program for Exceptional Children.

Note: SARRC will issue a certificate of donation to you for your tax-deductible contribution of the Paint Your Own Pony Kit.

The Ancient Ones called these deserts home. Then, around 1400 A.D., for unknown reasons, they mysteriously disappeared. Hundreds of years later, a new town would arise from the ruins that would be appropriately named “Phoenix” after the fabulous mythical bird of brilliant scarlet and gold plumage that was said to have perished in the flames, only to rise from the ashes. Created by Arizona artist, Wendy Wells-Bailey, “The Phoenix Pony” stands as a tribute to a timeless myth and the beautiful city that shares its name, and the human capacity for renewal and rebirth.”

Artist: Wendy Wells-Bailey

This exclusive packaged offer is only available through our website and is priced at $275.00. The Paint Your Own Pony Kit will provide a means of expression for the children. According to Denise D. Resnick, co-founder and board chairman of SARRC, "Art provides a palette for connecting children with autism with our world in terms of beauty, pleasure, inspiration and wonderment. With or without language, art is one of the most powerful ways to communicate thoughts, feelings and actions - something individuals with autism find difficult to do."

There is a $10.00 shipping, handling, and insurance charge for each signed Pony shipped.
