KRESSLEYS TALARIA

1978

1982

Talaria was purchased as a young mare. She had been trained to drive Roadster, why I'll never know.
We had her trained to ride in 1 month and she became my favorite ride. Laura and I would go trail riding while I was pregnant with Sara, down the roads, thru the woods and fields ........ singing all the way. Talaria was a true people pony, she greeted you every morning with a nicker. She had absolutely no vices and would do whatever asked, and go wherever asked.  During our move Talaria was lent to a family who used her well and took very good care of her. This family belonged to the Hunterdon County Hunt Club where the daughter entered Talaria in the "Pony Races". Talaria's roadster training served her very well as she either came in second and a few times won the pony races (against ponies and small thorobreds :) When the family moved Talaria came home and lived to the ripe old age of 39. She is missed to this day, when I go outside and see one of the grey mares I think "Oh, Talaria" only then realizing that she is only with us now in spirit. No one could have asked for a better pony. Legacy has his mom's sweet and willing disposition.
Talaria was shown in her "heyday", the early 80's, winning several halter classes in local shows, and being pinned Champion mare at the Sussex County Show. Laura showed her in pleasure and hunter and did very well, especially when Talaria was bred. For some reason when she was in foal she forgot about going fast! (Darn that Roadster training.) Denise

Here is Talaria at 37 years. I could still ride her,
though mostly she was the queen of the place.
Was she 'fancy', no. But she had the bone, substance, correct conformation, and the quality to always get a job done.

Can you see the cob in her?
This is what you want in a section B mare for breeding and for ridng.
Yes, you can breed a fancy pony from her type of mare,
and you will not get a pony with weedy body and bone that will break down in a couple of years, such as many you see today.
