Selecting an Akhal-Teke stallion for breeding

Breeding Akhal-Tekes is a challenge for many reasons. The biggest obstacles for breeders that have a breeding goal of producing excellence is the small number of horses available in this breed as well as the lack of reliable breed and performance statistics for stallions offered for breeding.

The introduction of the Heavenly Horse to China

by Wang Zhenshan and Jessica Eile Keith

Foaling Checklist

This checklist is provided by KaraKum Akhal-Tekes. It is based on notes from the course “From stallion selection to weaning” at the Agricultural University of Uppsala, Sweden in 2001.
The checklist is recommended to use as a guideline to time ranges and events in a normal foaling situation. The checklist is not intended to replace contacts with a veterinarian.

The year of 2008 has been a great year for us. We had our first foal since we relocated to Florida, the buckskin colt Artist. The birth of Artist is a dream come true for us as breeders. The history of how this outstanding colt was created is really a nice Christmas story.
