countdown to the Amazon of Peace
Dear Akhal-Tekke Friends,
To paraphrase my friend Dr. Alf-Eckbert Füssel of SANCO, in Brussels, “We will either find a way, or make one” Hannibal (247 – 183 B.C.)…
In response to our questions regarding the EU import rules for the temporary import of our mare Almila to Europe, to achieve our aim, a new WDR for the Akhal-Teke, and Laurence Bougault, the intrepid cavalier, a celt from Brittany in France, she has not only inherited their bravery, but also the fighting spirit of the Amazons, who some trace back to Turkmenistan…
You can find all this plus more on our website www.cheval-culture.eu, (French-English-Italian-Turkish-Persian) and can also follow the adventure day by day in our blog; all is to be recorded in her new book “Lettres d’une Jument Persanne” (I have yet to emancipate Almila), a title borrowed from Charles Secondat de Motesqieu’s “Lettres Persanes”, a great literary classic.
As you may have noticed the project is now well under way, and we are nearing countdown phase, nevertheless if you wish to support this unique event, give advice, or encouragement please feel free to drop us a line: She is “Sir Edmond” and I am “Sherpa Tienszing”; we are looking forward to hear from fellow Akhal-Tekke lovers, a passion we all share…

PS : In order that this adventure can take life, we need you:
As it will not be easy to establish speed records on 7,000 kilometers it is necessary not to go off route to find accommodation or food, therefore we must have a vehicle for assistance. Unfortunately, this vehicle is expensive. This is why your gifts (lodging, food, a bit of money…) perhaps will make the difference, by facilitating the installation of this logistic help. Thank you in advance of your assistance and your generosity. (In other words, we accept hand-outs !… American-Express, Diners Club, Mastercard & Eurocard welcome)
Keep up to date with where they are in there journey on their blog, the Amazon of Peace!
