All the horses are now started under saddle. Akpay is very smooth with great gaits, Pagoda really seems to love being ridden, Darginka isn’t sure she wants to give up control yet and Davinia just loves any attention!

Akhal-Tekes seem to have the most amazing movement. Here are some YouTube videos of Akhal-Tekes doing dressage, including two historical videos, one with Absent footage, and clips of Grom and Lakmus. Please comment if you know the other horses!

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)

Darginka’s training is going really well. Drew was sick for a week so Emma took over. Darginka now comes running to greet us and is becoming very personable. She is such a sweet horse, we couldn’t have chosen better for personality!
