    I love this horse. I’ve been fascinated with Akhel Tekes since I the first time I heard of them and their history. I wish there were more of them in the US. Not only is this the most beautiful animal but this is an exceptional photo!!

    Pure Gold! Both the image and the horse…...My favourite breed in the horse books I used to have as a child was always the Akhal-Teke.
    This is an outstanding glimpse of why!

    Their blood can be found in America in the Thoroughbred, Appaloosa, QH and crossbreds—the ‘Byerly Turk’ and “Godolphin Arabian’ were probably of Turkish blood.

    Oh yea-the Polish ‘Arabian’!! Remember-teh Turks tried to overrun Poland, and their horses were war prizes! That’s why the Polish Arab is so much hotter than Egyptian ( which might also have a bit of Rurk thanks to the Ottoman Empire) and Syrian stock.
