Pride of Turkmenistan
A write up on the Akhal Teke horse breed.
The Akhal Teke breed of horses have survived hundreds of years, mainly thanks to the efforts of their owners, i.e. the warlike Turkmen tribe called Teke, who used the horses during wars waged with their neighbours. The Tekes avoided cross-breeding them with other horses in order to keep the marvellous features of the breed.

I think it is from the UK as the photographer lives here. I have the canvas print on my wall but someone asked me the other day and I didn't know the breed!

Well theyre noted for their speed and for endurance on long marches, but for me that's about all that's good. I don't think theyre that nice to look at.
