Akhal-Teke, the “Golden Horse” is one of the oldest horse breeds in the world. The breed can trace its pedigree back to the first domesticated horses.

The Akhal Teke horse breed originated on the Eastern slopes of central Asia (Turkmenistan) between 4000 and 5000 BC.

To survive in the Karakum desert, Turkmen people lived a nomadic life. Turkmen and their horses migrated many miles through the desert seeking food and shelter. Their horses endured extreme heat and survived on minimal grass and water.

Horse and man relied on each other and developed a special bond, both physically and emotionally. The Akhal Teke horse strived with the nomads and evolved into a rugged horse with high endurance, physical power, and a sensitive nature.
