New Teke book07:30 The Golden Mustang, a Russian equestrian magazine, has published a book about the Teke breed. They have been working on this project for a while and the original idea was to make the book cover all Teke countries but few breeders (including us) where interested in advertising so the book will be focused on Russian and Kazakh Teke breeding. It looks like it will be a nice coffee table book for Teke lovers.

by the new board of the Swedish Akhal-Teke association. The part
of our work that could have been considered good is know history that is

everyone but us. it I can only ask newcomers to the breed in Sweden
to ask us about what is being said, it is very difficult to defend yourself
when you are not able to attend meetings.

Dangerous places II Training the Teke, introduction 09:48
Another dangerous place for the horse is in the hands of the unexperienced/uneducated/ignorant

you plan to buy.
