    • The Akhal-Teke, 'Ahalteke' in turkmen language, horse breed from Turkmenistan, where they are the national emblem. It is named after the nomadic tribe that bred them. They are racehorses, noted for their endurance on long marches and are thought to be the predecessors of the Arabian and English thoroughbred breeds. These beautiful "golden-horses' are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest surviving breeds. There are currently about 3,500 Akhal-Tekes in the world, mostly in Turkmenistan and Russia.
    The exportation of this valuable horse is forbidden and need special aprrouval for exporting.
    In my country there is a special stable for this Horse and I ve had the chance to ride this incredible horse...
