Worth The Wait
Worth The Wait was sculpted by Kristina Lucas Francis and introduced in earthenware ceramic in 1998. She represents a young stock breed mare. She is approximately 1:24 or Breyer "Little Bit" scale; pieces of around this size were marketed as "Curio" scale by The Pour Horse. A run of 185 bay overo pintos and 85 bisques was produced. One known variation has a more peachy, roany color that occurred in an earlier batch of pieces. Worth The Wait was the last Curio scale piece sculpted for The Pour Horse by Kristina.
