The Trail of Painted Ponies-Tatanka Ska

Pony Story: The coats of buffalo are traditionally brown, so when a white buffalo is born, according to Plains Indians tribal lore, it is a sacred sign of good times to come. The horse is another animal highly revered by Native Americans, so this artist felt a blending of the two would make a striking design that honored both the buffalo and the horse. Adorned with accompanying symbols - circles around the eyes and nose to see and smell danger, lightning bolts for speed and nimble-footedness and a bear paw for strength - "Tatanka Ska" (Lakota for white buffalo) represents an icon of hope and positive transformation.  Ornament also available.
