New Elkie pictures practicing sport horse at hand

My daughter helped me with some pictures this afternoon of Elkie. I got her cleaned up to do a SHIH lesson and I asked Ashley to take pictures. They both did so good. I'm hoping and praying I can take Elkie and Sterling to an AHA community show next month so we are practicing in hopes of going. I always have the most intense look on my face too when I'm messing with the horses. I sure wish I would lighten up. I feel relaxed when I'm messing with them but my face doesn't show it.
Anyway, let me know how Elkie looks. She's 3 yrs old and hasn't been shown at all yet and has never left the farm. She still needs to work on giving her head for her halter class. We haven't worked on that stuff in quite a while. She's not conditioned at all. This is just pulling her out of the pasture and running a brush over her. She's quite fat.

She's a very pretty mare, and big! Looks like she enjoys working and being messed with. You'll have to start conditioning her if you want to be competitive, otherwise a very nice horse. I used to manage large Arab breeding farms and I just love them!

You're right. I have a hard time working with her consistently. As soon as my round pen dries out I need to get with it. I only have a month. She does love to be messed with.

No, I haven't ridden her yet. She's been saddled and bridled for well over a year but I've been taking my time. Just deal with lack of confidence issues. I need to get a friend over and help me because I'm not doing it alone.

She is GORGEOUS! I love that second picture of her. She just has the "...Yeah, I'm pretty!" look.

Thank you for your very nice comments!! She's about 15 hands. She's taller than her full sister who is 14.3. I'm really amazed that she's so tall. She was such a thin thing when she was a baby because she was putting so much into height. I loaded her with feed but she would still look ribby. Now, I have to feed her very little. She's finally catching up.
