Absolute Akhal-Teke is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of
an an athletic, beautiful, hardy and unique breed of horse, through
breeding, sales, showing and training.
The
Akhal-Teke is a rare breed among horses. There are only about 600 in
North America. A pure "desert-bred", it has qualities most other horses
do not.
In
Conformation the Akhal-Teke has a light, elegant build and a
distinctive conformation: a neck that is straight, long and often thin,
set high on excellent sloping shoulders; long tapering, aristocratic
face; beautifully shaped mobile ears; wide nostrils and large
expressive eyes having a proud fiery gaze. Normal height is between 15
and 16 hands, with horses both larger and smaller, weight between 900
to 1100 pounds. The Akhal-Teke is lean, long, and, typically, narrow
through the chest, making him an extremely comfortable ride. The skin
is very thin with a short, fine and silky coat, often with a metallic
glow to it. The overall effect is of the long, lean grace of a
greyhound. Magnificent action, free and flowing; in all paces a soft,
gliding, elastic stride.
This
exceptional horse excels in Endurance, Eventing, Dressage, among other
disciplines.

The Akhal-Teke was created in Southern
Turkmenistan by the Teke tribe at the Akhal Oasis. Located away from
the trade routes, bordered by the Kara Kum desert and Kopet Dag
mountains, the Akhal Oasis is in an area not subjected to continual
conquest or occupation. This isolation, along with the great pride the
Teke tribesmen took in the purity of their horses has
produced a breed of ancient lineage and great purity.
