Kyzyl Akhal-Teke Sporthorses

Kyzyl Akhal-Teke Sporthorses Agile, athletic, tough and supremely responsive to the sympathetic rider, the Akhal-Teke is the world's most versatile sporthorse.

From Grade I racehorse and marathon endurance horse ATAMEKAN, Kyzyl's foundation stallion, comes a line of exceptionally athletic, intelligent and resilient horses which have proved their ability in eventing, show jumping, endurance and showing, as well as hunting and natural horsemanship. Foundation mare GULARA is Elite-graded, hails from the world's leading Akhal-Teke Stavropol Stud, and is by G

aigysis,the best stallion of his generation in Russia. Arguably the oldest breed in the world, the Akhal-Teke possesses unique genetic stability which favours crossing with other breeds, together with the quality and refinement to "improve" the heavier mare.

Remembering my Turkmen stallion Atamekan, who I lost exactly 19 years ago today on the 19th September 2006. One of the most-travelled Akhal-Tekes ever, having done a Silk Road journey in Turkmenistan, a 500-mile charity ride in the UK, and in between a 3 - 4,000 mile road trip from Turkmenistan to Herefordshire. My foundation stallion, sire of 6 pure-breds and grandsire of one more, and sire and grandsire of countless part-breds; all of them sharing his thrill in jumping.

Hard to believe it's two years today since I lost Teddy. This is a reminder of what an exciting horse he was to ride; here taking me round my first ODE for 3 or 4 decades, when the partial remission of 30 years of health problems finally allowed me to do something that demanding. To break that long duck on a pure-bred son of Atamekan was an extra blessing. He went on the following year to do 7 British Eventing Affiliated ODEs, at 80 and 90 level, restoring me, to a great extent, to my real self. For that, as well as for being simply (or complicatedly) himself, he one of my most special partners ever.

Happy 25th Birthday to Aina (Ainur, by Atamekan out of Kunzita), still itching to get out and about, in this first photo giving her son Baloo a bit of confidence. Subsequently looking back to her eventing days with Rosalie Shepherd and Jess Hassell, and finally a couple of XC with me at the end of her career.
