Creation: The Golden Horse

Rate this post

I did not know there is a breed of horse that’s golden in color until I saw this National Geographic pic.

Breathtakingly beautiful!

The Akhal-Teke is one of the oldest existing breeds of horses, with a reputation for speed, endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive shiny coat that led to their nickname, “Golden Horses”.

Akhal is the name of the line of oases along the north slope of the Kopet Dag mountains in the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan. The area is inhabited by the Tekke tribe of Turkmens — thus the name “Akhal-Teke”.

These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions, and are found mostly in Turkmenistan, although they are also found throughout Europe and North America. There are only about 6,600 Akhal-Tekes in the world today.
