The Akhal-Teke is one of the most beautiful and oldest equine breeds in the world. There are only 8.000 in the world, and 1.000 of them can be found at a horse complex near Turkmenistan’s capital Ashgabat. The Akhal Teke originally comes from Turkmenistan but numbers dropped after some of the best horses were taken to Russia under the Soviet regime. The objective today is to try to breed more.
