There were few things of more value to the Western Plains Indian Warrior than his horse. Although the duties expected of his horse often differed, depending on whether they were going forth with arrows to hunt for bison or wage war with enemies, his Pony was his fearless partner. Often, before entering battle or pursuing a herd of buffalo, a warrior would honor and protect his horse by dressing and painting him with power symbols. The designs on Little Brave have prepared him for the challenge of the day.

The artist:
KEVIN KILHOFFER is an artistically gifted individual who finds it hard to sit still without doodling. When he goes outside, he's got a knife in one hand and a block of wood in the other since he likes to whittle. He grew up on a farm in Elk City, Oklahoma where his dad raised cotton, corn, wheat, maize, livestock, and Kevin drove tractor, built fences, milked cows and then went to school. In first grade it became apparent that he had artistic abilities. Over the years, he whittled, carved, and cartooning came naturally to him. His passionate interest in Western History provided him with a direction for his artistic expressions.
