These pictures were taken on July 12, 2004.
Nika has a beautiful look to her head. She's a little lean right now and
will not be big, but she is quite elegant and athletic.
Nika in motion -- At a very early age.
She is just 13 months here.- As can be seen she knows how to bend those
joints and engage her hind end. She also has pretty good form over the
jumps. We put her through a juming chute (low jumps) and after the initial
'Oh my God, WHAT IS THIS??' , she went through it like an old pro.
Another good example of her way of going,
although in this picture she is a little tense and stiff, but very forward!
This is more relaxed and balanced.
