About

This database, which is dedicated exclusively to the Akhal-Teke horse, now contains more than 4353 entries. We want to promote the understanding and the advancement of this wonderful horse. And so, we have made this breed database available to all. It is a labor of love and not a commercial venture.

This information on Akhal-Teke horses was gathered over more than a decade from various national, international, and private sources.

The registry contains all horses listed in the recently published Russian General Studbook Number 10 (X), all of their ancestors going as far back as the records go, in some cases to the late 1800s, plus numerous other horses from Studbooks Number 9 and 8 that potentially may or may not have left living descendants.

Our primary focus is on the living horse population. The 10th General Studbook shows data only up to the year 2000, so we will try to bridge those last ten years by releasing information first on American horses (both North and South American) since we already have them in the database, and after that will come European and Asian horses, as many as we can find. We hope that with your help we can maintain for you updated information on most living Akhal-Tekes, regardless of their current geographic location. Above all, we hope that not only the Akhal-Teke breeders and owners, but also all of you who wish to one day have one of these magnificent horses, and for now would like to know more about them, will find this database useful, and by your participation will help us develop this service further.
