Some comments about the books i read :
KIKKULI : L’art de soigner et d’entrainer les chevaux
Just the first book of the world translated in french from hittite language about breeding and training for warhorses : (1500 years before Christus!). Wonderfull.
GOURAUD : L’Asie Centrale… : not really usefull for AT lovers. Talk more about Gendjim in France. Nothing else about AT.
THE DIVINE AT HORSE : my favorite about AT, lots of photos of the past stallions, interesting things about the ashgabat Moscow races.
AT, A GREAT RACER… : useless, full of enormous mystake
That’s what i can say…

Do you know how to contact the Akhal-Teke Inform? I am interested in the calenadar put out by their editors (described on the MAAK website).
Thank you for any information.

The address on the MAAK site is of Nadejda Abramova and she answers that. Get it from http://www.maakcenter.org/ENG/news.html
