This artist has out done herself. Her other art works are amazing if you go to her website. She has won contests she has entered with TOPP. TOPP and Westland should re-look at the other pony's she has created and re-think producing these ponies for the collectors. There are several I would buy in a heart beat (Christmas Surprise:revamped, Autumn Memories, For Seasons, Foal Play and Heartland Seasons. Any company should be privliged to sell her work.

Janet has done a wonderful job capturing the essence of American Pride and Patriotism. This pony speaks to your heart about freedom and all that this country's flag stands for. I would also urge you to consider an embellished pony as I have seen some of hers already, have one on order and they are beautiful.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This Pony is absolutely fantastic, it is my favorite Painted Pony in my collection. It truly brings out the "events" we as Americans think of when we say we're proud to be an American. Janet Snyder tryly has hit the nail on the head with this one. As a parent who has a son that has done two tours of duty in Iraq, I am tryly proud to own this pony. I am also buying several for Christmas gifts!!! Thank you to the Trail of Painted Ponies for putting on a contest and allowing an "unknown" artist to show her talents and bring us such an exquisite piece. I hope this artist will create more ponies in the future, I can't wait to see what she can come up with next!

 
For Spacious Skies ROCKS!
By Sleepyfox from OH on 8/11/2008
Pros:
Colorful, For Every Proud American, Good Variety, Long Lasting, Realistic, Well Constructed
Best Uses:
Collecting
Describe Yourself:
Collector, Proud of America Troops
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is one of the few, rare ponies which represent how proud we are to be Americans. Not only does FSS hold his own, but I have seen how his artist Janet Snyder has embellished this pony. She has gone above and beyond to help make him individual to everyone who has purchased a signed/embellished pony. Well worth a few extra dollars to have something that you will be proud to own forever and which will also tug at your heart strings. FSS,, Forever may he wave.

 
The Pony For One And All.
By Michelle aka SwaggiegalVerified Purchaser from Australia on 8/5/2008
Pros:
Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

At last the long awaited arrival of For Spacious has occurred. From the moment I saw this pony in the America The Beautiful contest I longed to have one. For Spacious Skies' beauty is captivating from the moment you set eyes on it. I have it displayed in a prominent position in my home. I see just about every moment of every day and never tire from seeing it. For Spacious Skies' is a wonderful tribute to America by the artist Janet Snyder. All Americans should be proud of this pony and should endeavour to purchase it not only for themselves but for gifts to others that they may know. They need not be their fellow countrymen but people who live overseas and appreciate the meaning of what it is to be American. I myself am an Australian and by crikey I just love this pony. It is absolutely fantastic and I thoroughly recommend it to all. You are guaranteed to be mesmorized by its fine detail and allured by is beauty.
Long Live America and Long Live For Spacious Skies.
