Several years ago, my daughter Sarah gave this piece to me for my collection.
She and her family live in Colorado and she found it at a gift shop there, thinking it would be a nice memento for me of the place where part of my family resided.
It's quite heavy and is made from resin, I think, although it has almost a china feel to it when I run my hands over the piece.
There's a lot of detail to the piece, and the copper plate on the base says "Horse of a Different Color" and then gives the number of the piece.
The more I look at the paint job, the more I lean toward to piece being resin.
I've never heard of the company before.
Read the small text in the lower right hand of the tag. Apparently Clydesdales were used to ride into war by Native Americans. Hmmmm...
I did a search on Westland Giftware and still am a bit confused as to who they are, but they do seem to be connected in some way to the Trail of the Painted Ponies.
Regardless of the company's origins, or having a Clydesdale as a war chief's mount, I am fond of the piece. It was a thoughtful gift from my daughter and is a treasured part of my collection.
