The Trail of Painted Ponies – Dance of the Sugar Plum Ponies

Description The Trail of Painted Ponies – Dance of the Sugar Plum Ponies Inspired by Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from The Nutcracker ballet, the artist, being a horse lover, always envisioned horse fairies, instead of human ballerinas, dancing across the stage, whenever she heard this piece. In addition to sparking thoughts of a Sugar Plum Painted Pony, she was moved to write a poem that begins: ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the stable The ponies were restless; they were willing and able To glide like sugar plum fairies through the cold winter’s night To go prancing and dancing for the children’s delight. Free from their headstalls they whirled round and round And exquisitely performed their airs above the ground.
