The Akhal-Teke
The Akhal-Teke is a breed of living history, representing over 3,000 years of equestrian partnership. From their back, the early world was shaped, and from their blood the modern horse was born. The Akhal-Teke has carried many names throughout its development: Fergana, Heavenly Horse, Argamak, Turcoman, Turk, and more. It became legendary for its swiftness, stamina, intelligence, loyalty, and otherworldly traits such as hooded eyes and a metallic coat.
The Chaar Appaloosa Horse
The Chaar Appaloosa Horse is a sacred, spotted mountain horse of the ancient Silk Road. They were believed to be extinct, only surviving through ancient folklore and petroglyphs, but were genetically rediscovered and are being revived through strategic breeding. They are unique Central Asian originators of the appaloosa leopard spot and shuffle gait genes, which inspired their current name. Used for mountain riding, herding, and the sport of horseball.
