The Appaloosa has gotten into the holiday spirit. He's not waiting for his owner to bring out the Christmas decorations, he's taking matters into his own hooves. Donning Santa's hat, he's going to "deck the stalls" with strings of colorful lights, festive wreaths and gifts for all his Pony friends.
Writes the artist, "Inspired by the excitement surrounding the holiday season and my love for all things whimsical and fun, this Pony reminds me of my first horse, an Appaloosa, who had a very mischievous side to him and loved to have fun."
There is something truly magical about the combination of Christmas and a carousel horse. The fun and excitement, the music, decorations and traditions that make the Christmas holidays such an extraordinary time of year, are in some ways reminiscent of that first thrilling experience astride a richly carved and bejeweled carousel horse, going round and round in a circular parade of flying manes, bright lights, and dizzying action, all to the rollicking music of an organ. With its classic holiday colors of red, green and gold, and peppermint candies and gifts under the tree, "Christmas Carousel" takes us back and makes us feel like a child again.
Each ornament includes an attractive ribbon for hanging.

Let's be honest... all girls are 'horse crazy.' It starts when little girls put on their first pair of pink suede cowboy boots. That's it, they're hooked. And then, of course, these little girls go looking for a horse. It could be any kind of horse... a soft, cuddly toy horse or a small horse figurine. You see, when you're horse crazy, every horse is prized and you simply can't get enough of them. Cowgirl Cadillac is a tribute to all horse-crazy girls who are young and young at heart. Saddle up for the ride that lasts a lifetime on the back of a true dream machine...Ride on!

When she was little, all this artist ever wanted for Christmas was a horse. She had all kinds of toy horses. Her room was covered with posters of horses. She showed her parents pictures in books of the kind of horse she wanted. When they took her to see Santa, she would tell him "Please, please, bring me a Pony for Christmas." Then one Christmas morning her father handed her a present he said was from Santa. She opened it and let out a scream. It was a new halter with the name "Domino" engraved on a brass plate. She ran to the window and a beautiful bay Pinto was waiting outside for her, saddled up and ready to ride. "Santa's Surprise" is her gift to every other girl who has had the same Christmas wish for a Pony.

Heavenly angels play an important role in the celebration of Christmas. The beloved Christmas story is told that God gave a small group of tiny angels the special responsibility of watching over Joseph and Mary on their journey to Bethlehem. The angels carefully guided the young couple over rugged terrain during a cold winter night. The same little band of angels was so excited at witnessing the birth of Christ, that they burst into a song that reached the heavens and was so melodious it was heard all over the earth. A host of heavenly angels joined in, singing, "Glory be to God in the highest, and on earth, peace and good will to men." Celebrate the beauty and inspiration of the season with "Song of Angels."

No era in history has influenced the way we celebrate Christmas as much as the Victorian Era. Lavish amounts of evergreen boughs, holly, ivy and mistletoe were brought inside to symbolize prosperity. Roses were mixed in as a tribute to the legend of the little girl who happened upon the stable in Bethlehem, was upset because she had no gift for the Christ child, and as she began to cry, her tears turned into beautiful roses. Candles placed in windows during the twelve days of Christmas, carolers singing joyfully on snowy nights, many of our favorite carols, and "Victorian Christmas" are all Christmas inspirations from the Victorian Era.

Here's a recipe for a new Christmas classic. You start with a little bit of tradition, along the lines of a sugar cookie. You add some whimsy: Instead of a snow-roofed cottage and Yule trees, you cut out tiny Indian people, tipis and eagle feathers. Then you bring in color and sparkle, dressing each figure in the primary Christmas colors of red and green, and sprinkling glitter to make it seem as if it's snowing. And when all the notes are ringing in harmony, you have a masterful, one-of-a-kind Holiday Painted Pony named Village Christmas Cookie that looks so tasty you almost want to bite into it.

On a barren, windswept hill in eastern Montana there stands a tall obelisk inscribed with the names of the 268 men of the 7th Cavalry who lost their lives on June 26, 1876, in the Battle of Little Bighorn. Custer's Last Stand is remembered by most Americans as a shocking defeat for the United States 7th Cavalry. However, for Native Americans, it is remembered as the last chapter in the Native American struggle to preserve and defend their homeland and traditional way of life. There has been no equivalent memorial for Native Americans' heroic sacrifice, until now. This gives War Cry its power and poignancy.
