Run for the Roses!

Late this week one of our customers asked us for information on a new figurine from Trail of Painted Ponies. We checked into it and found out that "Run for the Roses" had been produced for Dillard's, exclusively. In other words, we cannot purchase this pony from Westland because The Trail of Painted Ponies has given Dillard's the exclusive rights to this particular pony. This is similar to the situation with the Phoenix Pony that was produced exclusively for one of the concessionaire's at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.

Okay, so why are they being sold on ebay? Well, the people or companies selling on ebay have purchased some of these figurines from Dillard's and are now re-selling them at a huge mark-up. Capitalism - what are you going to do?

Our suggestion would be to purchase these ponies at your local Dillard's, you'll get the best price there. If you don't have a Dillard's nearby email us at sales@lookagifthorse.com and we'll try to get them for you. We will have to take a mark-up on them, but you'll still get them much cheaper than you can on ebay. Given the fact that only 2,500 were produced and there are over 350 Dillard's stores, they may be hard to come by.

Our goal has always been to get you the lowest available prices on Trail of Painted Ponies and Breyer Horses products - that will never change. In this particular situation, the lowest available price will be Dillard's. While you're there, check thier prices on any other Trail of Painted Ponies figurines, you'll find we are far, far below their price.
