Turkmen Horses

The world today is home to more than 250 breeds of horses cultivated by man over many centuries. The Akhalteke breed stands apart as the patrarch of horse-breeding. It took more than three millenia to produce this breed. The exact date of the Ahalteke breed's first appearance is not known, but earliest mentions go back to the 4th-3rd century B.C.
Bucephalus, the favourite horse of Alexander the Great, was Akhalteke.
Breeding secrets were passed down from father to son. The horse was their first friend and closest ally.
Modern Akhalteke horses inherited their ancestor's best traits.
The pride of Turkmens, Akhalteke horses are part of the sovereign Turkmenistan's national emblem.
