2019. The small, humble start, founded by a passion for the Akhal-Teke breed and a love for this colt well before he was even born.

Sometimes the coolest moments happen in a flash. This was right when Kerk switched from a lazy gallop to zoning in on the dogs outside the arena. A beautiful stretch out midstride. 🔥

The Teke Brothers 💞
For three years it was a gift to have these half #brothers, Kerkav and Algushbai, live and grow together so harmoniously. It's uncommon for domestic #horse brothers to remain together and even rarer for stabled #stallions to share space. They will see each other again.

Alfalfa has been an important animal food crop for over 3,000 years and it is attributed to providing the nutritional demands necessary for ancient Turkomans (or "Heavenly Horses") to develop their legendary tall and muscular frames.

Did you know that the first ever recorded polo tournament in 600 BC was fielded by ancient Akhal-Tekes? It was the Turkomans vs Persians, and the Turkomans won.🤯
Thank you Ben Johnson from Historic UK on sharing the origins of polo. Horse pictured is mare Deniz Shael.

This is Amerka (Aliger x Krosna) 2004-2024
This mare has definitely made an impact on the N. American Akhal-Teke population (8 foals, 4 grand-foals (and 1 due 2025), 1 great-grand-foal (and 1 due 2025).
I would list them all, but this app has a character limit so it wouldn't let me.
