As a foal, his breeder writes the following of Talika Farad ~

video snapshots at 5 months old original video by S. Ruskey-Fleming	The early photos of him will give you an idea of how brilliantly he moves... ... It is due to the influence of AK Sir Halima...  ...Note too, how well Farad uses his hocks.  He's a very powerful mover and has a lovely upright attitude, either standing or moving.  Talika Farad has a typey head, with a good eye, neat ears of nice shape and set, a fine tapered muzzle and good deep jowls.  His head is connected by quite a fine throat to a well set, nicely shaped neck... ...but it really is beautifully balanced and very smooth.
	His neck blends well into the wither and also into the shoulder...  He has very good heart girth and depth through the flank.  He has quite a strong, driving hindquarter with good buttocks well defined gaskins and second thighs - inherited from both parents.  Farad has a brilliant topline, with a long croup, very tight coupling and very good hip to buttock length.  These traits are passed on by Fazir, no matter what type of mare he is put to.  His tail set and carriage are lovely. Farad has very good legs all round at this stage and they should stay very good.  His hooves are also of good shape and size.  He tracks very true and has a breathtaking, elevated ground covering stride with a long period of suspension - perfect for dressage or any form of riding.   Farad should make a good breeding, show and riding horse.

Talika Farad has matured into this description of him well, having gone through the traditional 'morphing' stages of a well bred asil Arabian Horse should. He has, over time, developed into a very elegant masculine Arabian Horse with an astute and definitive mind, bearing out his asil (Al Khamsa, Straight Egyptian) heritage.
