OUR AKHAL - TEKE HORSES COME FROM

THE PUREST LINES

Our Akhal-Teke horses are from Russian, Ukrainian and German lines. Some of these horses can be directly traced to horses imported into Russia from Turkmenistan into the Russian breeding programmes. Our horses range in colour from palomino to cremello, buckskin, bay, black and chestnut. Our Akhal-Teke mares and stallions were imported as young horses, and we are in the process of backing them and training them so that they can compete in a range of disciplines.

Our Akhal-Teke horses are athletic with fluid movement, loyal and noble and intelligent. They have beautiful lines and showcase a variety of typical Akhal-Teke traits and characteristics. We currently have three Akhal-Teke stallions, five Akhal-Teke mares and one Akhal-teke foal, a colt, born in 2023 to one of our mares. We have an active breeding program in place, so mares are inseminated and give birth and are then given eighteen months off to train and compete before joining the breeding program again. We may have Akhal-Teke foals available to purchase at various times. At other times it may be possible to reserve an Akhal-Teke foal.
