Akhal-Teke
The Akhal-Teke ( /ˌækəlˈtɛk/ or /ˌækəlˈtɛki/; from Turkmen Ahalteke, ) is a horse breed from Turkmenistan, where they are a national emblem. They are noted for their speed and for endurance on long marches. These "golden-horses" are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest surviving horse breeds. There are currently about 3,500 Akhal-Tekes in the world, mostly in Turkmenistan and Russia, although they are also found throughout Europe, Australia, and North America.
