Celtic Warrior's Family and the Demand for Live Shows

 

Of course, we gotta do the family photo! Louis (Chestnut Sabino) and Siobhan (Grey) are one of my oldest couples in my herd. Neither one of them know where their son's warrior-type behavior comes from, since they both are gentle and patient. Ocean Mist is Celtic Warrior's full sister who is still looking for a new home.



When it comes to showing, anyone can tell by now that his pose isn't the greatest for photo showing. As it is, this point of view is the best I can get!
(If you haven't seen the 360 series of photos - or need to a refreshment - you can see them here).


However, he does work well for scenes. Unfortunately, I don't do any performance type showing with anything smaller than Classic scale (there are just some things that go beyond my tedious interest level!), so I hadn't tested him with tack.

So, when it came to advertising him - I really had to emphasize (not like that's really hard!) that he is Live Show Quality (LSQ) and would do better in a live show setting. He was quite popular - more than the others who are not only older, but are strictly Photo Show Quality (PSQ) and don't sell easily since it seems that everybody wants a LSQ horse regardless if they show or not or live show or photo show. Several potential buyers inquired about him, but usually passed due to his price ($200 - completely reasonable considering the amount of time, supplies, and the brains to create him. Not to mention that the only plastic that actually shows on him is his eyes!). So when he found his future owner who really wanted him, I was excited that he was going to someone who would love him

....Even if he can be a stinker at times!
