Little Bassma at 18 months old
Yesterday I went to see my horses up in Pennsylvania, and took a lot of pictures with my smartphone. Smartphone photos are what they are.
This is a head snapshot of little Bassma Al Arab [Jamr Al Arab x Jadah BelloftheBall], now one and a half years old. In this picture, her head looks like that of her sire Jamr: she has his deep jowl, small muzzle, elastic nostril, triangular head, and especially his large, soulful, low-set eye. She also has her dam’s very long ears, which is a plus. The profile is flat, without a hint of a dish, and I like it like this. Lots of asalah and old type in that filly.
The ears! And the personality that comes through, even in one photo – she looks bright and friendly.
