Pan-tee-ya

This beautiful horse is carved from natural Root beer Onyx, showcasing the stone’s rich, earthy tones and unique natural patterns. The horse features striking turquoise eyes that bring a vibrant touch of color and character to the carving. Along the side of its body is a carefully inlaid turquoise heartline, flowing gracefully from the mouth down toward the heart area. The heartline adds both visual detail and meaning, symbolizing the breath and life force of the horse. With its graceful form, natural stone beauty, and detailed turquoise accents, this carving is a striking representation of strength, spirit, and movement.

Horse (Du:shi): Horse brought power to the People. After the horse arrived on the Plains, people were able to move faster with heavier burdens, they could hunt game more efficiently, and they became fiercer warriors. Horse affords mobility that gives us freedom and power, but not the power that weighs us down. We need to be mindful that the most positive relationships are cooperative ones. All participants must respect the power of others with acceptance and tolerance. Our relationship to Horse differs from relationships between man and any other animal because it is a relationship requiring a deep understanding, without which the strength and benefits of Horse are inaccessible.
