- Join us for the fascinating history and heritage of an endangered breed, the Akhal-Teke from Turkmenistan. An athletic and versatile breed as you will see, the horse is also known for the metallic sheen to it's coat, and you'll discover how that was developed by early breeders and owners.
Years ago, I put one of them on my telephone for my app, and I just adore them the most beautiful Horse I’ve ever seen
How could looking at horses like these not raise your spirits?!
I’ve loved these horses for many years. The most beautiful
A few years ago when the Nez Perce tribe wanted to improve their Appaloosa bloodlines, they imported an Ahal Teke stallion. They felt the breed had the most characteristics they had prized when the tribe first developed the breed in the Wallowa valley before interference from white settlers.
You might be interested to know we have an episode on what you are mentioning. Here's the link. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/jOHIjQ55UlA/w-d-xo.html
Well first it was Akhal Teke not how you spelled it😂😂😂
@@bethewalt7385excuse me! Where is the office of the you tube spelling police?👮🏻
' ... this lovely breed ... '. Indeed.
Most of the people shown with these very elegant horses are smiling.
Elegant and very ‘desert’ looking. Arabians have the same sort of overall temperament.
I think they are very different from an Arabian both physically and mentally. My Teke mare is smarter and braver than my Arabians. She has also more temperament. I love Arabian, I have three, but I hope to have more Tekes in the future, if I can
Westerners called arabians, barbs and akhal tekes "oriental horses" because they have difficulty seeing the very obvious differences physically and mentally.
Akhal tekes look very different from arabians
The most Beautiful
The video seems to say that some Akhal Tekes are dark bays, and that some have dark legs, manes, and tails, white socks and blazes, but I've only ever seen pictures of solid golden colored ones, maybe with darker manes and tails.
Maybe that's because people prefered to show those ones off, or maybe the breed now allows more different colors. Iknow sometimes specifications have changed in other breeds. I'd sure like to know, so I will go to the link that this channel posted in a reply to the comment below by joybaker4559. My curiosity is burning!
I think you will see more of the range of colors the Akhal Teke offers in another of our Akhal-Teke episodes. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/urjf3iLl0G0/w-d-xo.html
And here is another we did. th-cam.com/video/Xt9J72qwdds/w-d-xo.html
I wish there was an Akhal Teke Farm in Ohio this Breed fascinates Me, I would love to meet a representative of this Breed in Person.
There is one in Lebanon Indiana, and you can find other member farms on their website. www.Akhal-Teke.org
@@HorseTVGlobal Thanks so much for that info! I too would love so much to be able to see one in person, and close up. They are magnificent!
Beautiful
Until now i never saw an akhal teke in international competitions. Here in this video i can see some, maybe because they never mencionate the breed of the horses. I follow about 300 horsechannels over the world in 7 languages within 100 in the netherlands and belgium.
I thought that most racehorses were thouroughbreds, i'm surprised you tell that they also do races.
Very interesting video, thank you. 👍💖
The outfits of the ladys in Kentucky with the akhal tekes have special helmets, but i think they aren't safe.😅
I think akhal teke horses will be very expensif, when i can see that a friesian cost at least 20.000€ and the best stallions untill 200.000€. so a golden one could cost maybe 500.000 or 1000.000$.
I follow a friesian breeding stable who started last year with 3 crown mares, so almost best quality. She had this year 2 foals, and maybe next year 3 more. But the cost of a stable and the pastures make it almost unreachable for normal people. And when you have to buy breeding mares, wawww😊
I can't speak to European prices for the Akhal-Teke, but in North America they are exceptionally reasonable as owners and breeders work to increase both their numbers and interest. Friesians tend to command higher prices due to awareness of the breed and their careful grading process, The awareness of the athletic ability of the Akhal-Teke and its versatility is still relatively unknown, but the national association in North America works very hard to promote the Akhal-Teke to create new interest and new awareness.
I want to thank the Akhal-Teke for its great influence and contribution to the making of the Thoroughbred. The physical similarities are undeniable.
Horses that race in Thoroughbred racing are always Thoroughbreds. That's the biggest organized form of racing in the world today. They have to be Thoroughbreds, whose pedigrees can be traced back to the 1600s.
There is also Arabian racing, and Quarterhorse racing. And endurance racing, for any breed.

Their contribution to the thoroughbred has been underrated (though not as much as the native English racers). TBs with sparse manes and powerful shoulders probably have more A-T influence than Arabian.
The rules of conformation we grew up with would have called them ewe-necked and herring-gutted, not well built at all. So much for rules.
There's no Akhal Teke in Thoroughbreds. They come down from 3 horses; the Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Arabian, and the Byerly Turk. The history of the Byerly Turk, a Karman horse and a war horse, has also been carefully researched and written up in a book.

@@susantunbridge4612 Exactly!
@@susantunbridge4612the byerley turk was turkoman. Even when u look at the thoroughbreds of tofay u can definitely see their turkoman ancestry - muddied by the heavier, native mares.

Questo é l'archetipo del cavallo, il cui stampo originale é nei cieli.
I would love to see one in person
If you go to the Akhal-Teke website they have a farm locator. Perhaps there is one close to you. Here is a link: akhal-teke.org/memberships/ataa-member-farms/
@@HorseTVGlobal thank you
The shimmering colour of their coats is attractive. I just cannot get used to a horse with a long skinny neck like they have. In other breeds this is a fault in confirmation.
For me they are the most beautiful horses on earth. Especialy the gold and silver ones. When they have other colors i prefer the arabian. But like there aren't many of them, will they not have problems of inbreeding like the friesians in the time, who untill now can have problems when they don't check very good the bloodlines.🤔
To jump in the saddle is primitive and out question. A horse must have paso (passo). A confortable natural gait to the mounted human / for me to appreciate it as saddle horse. There are many pasos, apart of trott and galop.
?????
If you're talking about paso finos or peruvian pasos -- that's the most unnatural gait I've ever seen on a horse. It's also cruel, as they get degenerative ligament and joint diseases because of it. I don't see anything comfortable about it, it's bizarre.
People originally did not ride in saddles, and did not need any 'special gaits' to be able to ride. The ancient Greeks rode into battle bareback on their horses with lances and bows and arrows. Xenophon, the ancient Greek horsemaster wrote the original book about 500 years BC, on training, and his book is still valid today.

They seem to hold their heads proudly high.
Horses aren't proud, it's their conformation that dictates how they hold their heads.
@@susantunbridge4612 I guess that's why it just" "seems" that way
Sehen meinte ich
Naja manche Sehnsucht besser aus
SO.. This horse is from the Russian Muslims.
