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 Gaigysis,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.

Exactly 20 years ago today, I lost the horse who re-defined my life. RIP Atamekan, 1989 - 2006.

Exactly a quarter century ago saw the start of the 2001 Odyssey for ME, in which Akhal-Teke stallion Atamekan, rescued from starvation in Central Asia due to the help of Geldy Kyarizov, carried out a 500-mile sponsored ride from the south coast through the Welsh borders to finish in Edinburgh, ridden by 19 different people (and escorted by a number of local horses along the route) and raising £14,000 for medical research. Here at the very beginning are Kaan with his first celebrity rider Brough Scott, who rode the first leg starting at Lulworth Cove, Dorset.
