Looking back on the 2019 Akhal-Teke Association of America Annual Conference in Canada at Akhal Valley Farms in Ontario, the first Yorke ever attended. It was a fantastic, productive gathering of Akhal-Teke breeders from all over N America along with a representative of the VNIIK Russian Studbook, a talented photographer who specializes in Akhal-Teke imagery, a videographer from the Livestock Conservancy, and an Olympic dressage clinician.

The Akhal-Teke Association of America hosts this conference every year with different guest speakers, activities, and (of course) Akhal-Teke horses! The next conference will take place in Venice, FL at Dark Prince Equestrian February 5-8, 2026. Visit the Akhal-Teke Association of America page for more info. We hope to see you there!
