We took Darginka to the Farpoint Farms/Hobbit Hollows Open House and Free Jumping Competition. Darginka did very well, especially since we hadn’t tried this before. She placed mid pack, in general above the Thoroughbreds but below the warmbloods. The judge liked her and remarked that she is a very careful jumper and thought that she [...]

The World Akhal-Teke Organization is now officially founded. I think that WATO is going to be a great benefit to all, hopefully opening up more information about this breed. The group constitutes many major breeders and many have taken on multiple rolls to get WATO going. I think this is all very exciting for the [...]

Here are some videos that I that I would love to know more about. They show lovely Akhal-Tekes and really show off their movements. Please let me know to whom credit them to as well as any information you have!

A positive story to bring in the New Year:
Saad is approved as a refiner for Danish Palomino Association and awarded with the title; Stallion of the Year 2007.
We had a great time watching the eventing at the Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Center!
“Three pure-blood Akhal-Teke horses were shown to the public on Saturday night at the China Millennium Monument in Beijing.”
This post is my comment to Jessica Eile Keith’s statement on the ShaEl Teke website:
I am dismayed and upset by the reaction of the community to the images of Pan Tau posted previously. The images in no way reflect the character or the training of Pan Tau. (The photos on this header are from AkhalTeke.cc)
Amrita and Cathy and their friends put on a great show in Mount Vernon last weekend. It was great seeing your Akhal-Tekes!!
We enjoyed seeing a bit of jumping at the show this weekend, hopefully soon we will start seeing Akhal-Tekes and crosses soon.
Emma now not only wants to jump horses she also wants to try the vaulting!!
Some photos by Alexander Kochetov from the ShaEl extravaganza contest for “the most beautiful horse”.
