National Museum II
Here are some photos of the artifacts inside the National Museum in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. Funnily enough we were allowed to photograph here with the ancient antiquities, but not inside the memorial in honor of their late president Saparmurat Niyazov (Türkmenbasi). the Sword of Neutrality. It is permanently encased in the sheath and can’t be drawn. [...]
Akpai, spring 2010
(function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px44 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery); Akpai has been leased to Katrin who is using her for endurance this year. Akpai turned out to be such a nice riding horse that her daughter rode her in her first 30 mile ride. Akpai is now down in Idaho with Katrin and set to do her first 50 miler this weekend.
Davinia, spring 2010
(function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px43 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery); Davinia is now a yearling and is still all fluffy from being up at 100 Mile.

The last couple photos show her reunion with Darginka her [...]
Pagoda, spring 2010

Akhal-Teke colt Karat
Karat is a yearling buckskin colt. He is by Arim and out of Katrin and was bred by Akhal Texas. He is going to be one big athletic colt! If you want a nice big Teke you better get him now!! (function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px31 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery); You can see all his photos on Flickr.
Akhal-Teke stallion Aad
Aad is a tall elegant older stallion. He is by Anchar and out of Azochka and was imported from Russia by Akhal Texas.

World Akhal-Teke Organization
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 [...]
