The Akhal-Teke from Turkmen is a horse breed from Turkmenistan, where they are a national emblem.

They have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen. 
The shiny coat of palominos and buckskins led to their nickname "Golden Horses".

The Akhal-Teke typically has a marvelous metallic glow to his coat, for which they are world-renowned.

This is caused by the unique structure of the Akhal-Teke hair shafts; the opaque core is reduced in size and in some areas may be absent altogether.  The transparent part of the hair (the medulla) takes up this space and acts like a light-pipe, bending light through one side of the hair and refracting it out the other side, often with a golden cast.



Akhal-Teke's are well adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest existing horse breeds. 

There are currently about 6,600 Akhal-Tekes in the world, mostly in Turkmenistan and Russia, although they are also found throughout Europe and North America. 

Akhal was the name of the line of oases along the north slope of the Kopet Dag mountains.

It was inhabited by the Tekke tribe of Turkomans.



There are several theories regarding the original ancestry of the Akhal-Teke, some dating back thousands of years.

It is probable that Akhal Teke is a descendant of an older breed known as the Turkoman horse, and some claim it is the same breed. The tribes of Turkmenistan selectively bred the horses, recording their pedigrees.


The Turkoman has influenced many other breeds, including modern warmbloods, and recent research confirms that Turkoman stallions made significant contributions to the development of the Thoroughbred.  


The studbook was closed in 1932.

The Akhal-Teke, due to its natural athleticism, can be a sport horse, good at dressage, show jumping, eventing, racing and endurance riding.


A noted example was the Akhal-Teke stallion, Absent,

who won the Grand Prix de Dressage at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, while being ridden by Surgei Filatov.


Absent, foaled in 1952 and winner of three Olympic medals.


1960, gold in dressage ...... 1964, Bronze and 1968 a team Gold medal. both also in dressage.


Absent went again with Filatov to win the bronze individual medal in Tokyo in the 1964 Summer Olympics, and won the Soviet team gold medal under Ivan Kalita at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.

The Akhal Teke possess sloping shoulders and fine skin.


The breed is tough and resilient, having adapted to the harshness of the Turkmenistan lands, where horses must live without much food or water.


This has also made the horses good for sport.


The breed is known for its endurance, and its form and grace as a show jumper.

Akhal Tekes are known refiners and will generally add athleticism, stamina and intelligence.

They are excellent to ride, very trainable and are competing in all the Olympic disciplines plus Endurance and Polo overseas.

For endurance breeders, Amakai has a resting heart rate of 34bpm.

We are very excited to watch the developing performance career of this young 4yo stallion, Amadei.
