This is my Straight Egyptian Arabian Filly. She is only a month younger than Nora, so she is two years old. She is in paddock condition so I have been round penning her a lot and can already see an improvement in her topline and muscle tone. She is a sweetheart with a spirited nature. Some horses you have to round pen for a minute or two before they really start paying attention to you, but Tala has paid attention for minute one. I am so proud of her.
She is still growing and will get more and more beautiful. She hasn't really cooperated in letting me get a good profile picture. Oh and I will be adding two videos to YouTube later today.

Alee, she is beautiful. Very nice choice! You can tell she is still growing since her rear end is much higher that her withers.
I like how she has 2 white socks in the back.
Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks Jennifer-
Yes her sire, Infinite is very large and it looks like she is taking after him. She had a nice topline as a foal so I am sure she won't be "downhill" once she matures. Her...well I guess she would be a cousin who is 3 is so much more grown up looking. It's amazing. I had just turned Dima back into her stall and went and got Tala. Comparing the two, Tala looks more like a yearling where the three year old looks more like and adult. I expect her to go through a couple good growth spurts in the next couple of months. I am so excited for her! Tala even likes Nora. I am starting to desensitize her to people "bouncing" by her side and her girth area being rubbed, patted and even her lead rope going there. She thinks I am weird but stands for it really well. She will let me mess with her in the areana with no halter on. She is even learning side passing without a halter. I am so proud of her. I think she will make a great endurance horse once she matures. She is willing to learn and kind hearted but also very bold and inquisitive. I also am going to show her in Halter since most of her breeding lines are Halter horses (though they show great in other disciplines as well). I think I am going to hold off on breeding her until she is at least 5. I want some time to show and play with her before we have to take most of each year easy due to breeding. And hopefully she will have a great reputation by then and her foals will be even more desireable.

Oh, Alee! What a beautiful horse! She is a magnificent creature! Are you going to ride her when you show her? As you can tell, I know very little about horses in general, just enough to appreciate the sight of a good one!

Hi Nikki!
Yes, I would love to ride her in shows. But I need to become a better rider myself first. I haven't ridden in years and never had very much formal schooling in the first place. Most of the horses I rode were just old cow horses so most were very well trained and the rider didn't exactly have to be trained very well.
I am hoping the lady that I am going to board her with can give me some lessons. That would be the best scenario for me! I am already starting to get Tala used to her body being rubbed by ropes and things. In a couple of months I will start getting her used to the riding equipment though I won't ride her until at least spring. I was hoping that she would have grown enough to maybe do some light starting this fall/winter, but she hasn't really hit her 2 year old growth spurts yet. The last thing I want to do is damage her growing bones and joints.
So maybe this fall and next spring I will be able to just show her in-hand and next year as well. I don't want to take a green horse to a show to be ridden but if she is as fabulous as she has been in the round pen- she is going to pass by the green stage veryy quickly!
