Trail of Painted Ponies

Summer 2007 Series

Boot Camp

A cowboy’s best friends are his horse and saddle, a rope, a hat and a comfortable pair of boots. But boy howdy, when it comes to Painted Ponies you can forget the plain, clunky, brown and black working cowboy boot. Banishing the traditional “high heels of the range” from her imagination, Idaho wildlife artist Maria Ryan created a colorful tribute to the cowboy boot mystique with Boot Camp.
