You are bidding on a Retired 7/07 Trail of the Painted Ponies #12212 "Fallen Heroes Memorial" 3rd Edition / No. 6,608 The versatility of the horse as a symbol for expressing a range of human emotions -- from heralding a great event, to acknowledging the passing of life -- was poignantly explored in the Fallen Heroes Memorial Pony. In response to the terrorist attack on America on September 11, 2001, a collaboration between artists, artisans and friends of The Trail of Painted Ponies resulted in the creation of the Fallen Heroes Memorial Pony. This emotionally stirring and uniquely American tribute to these Fallen Heroes, the brave souls who left personal safety behind while responding to a call for help, simultaneously recognizes the symbolic role the horse has played in ceremonial occasions and rituals of mourning. Inspired by the memory of John F. Kennedy's funeral, it recreates the riderless horse wearing a cavalry officer's saddle with a pair of empty high-top boots standing in the stirrups backwards. Mounted in the base are the hats worn by officers from the New York Fire Department, the New York Police Department and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
