Akhal Teke exhibition at the National Horse Racing Museum in Newmarket, GB

Debbie Burt is organizing an Akhal Teke exhibition at the National Horse Racing Museum in Newmarket later this year.
"I was invited to Turkmenistan for their National Horse Festival last year and went out with fellow artist and Committee member Michelle McCullagh. The horses were incredibly striking and I wished to get something more out of our trip than sketches and lots of photographs.  "
Having learnt that the Akhal Teke were probably involved in the creation of the early Thoroughbred, I approached the NHRM to see if they would be interested in holding an exhibition of work based around our trip as we have been holding small exhibitions with them throughout 2013.
Since arriving back in the UK I have visited one of my fellow delegates to see her four Akhal Tekes  and have found out more about the breed in this country and hope to curate an informative and interesting exhibition featuring a variety of artists styles and (time allowing!!) a piece of my own sculpture.
The exhibition runs from April 26th to July 15th and we would hope to have images on the website and on our facebook page.

We got a little taste of life before technology on the islands...
I'm still not sure what happened exactly, and apparently it is still not completely fixed..we we experienced a week long of no internet access and no phones on all islands!
Shops were closed, the grocery store only took checks, some of the banks closed because the computers didn't work.
We just caught up on fence repairs, building shelters, friends took pictures of the horses...
Sure is nice to be online again...even if it's to pay bills...

There is a new group on Face Book created by Lisa Bellehage, originally from the US but moved to Denmark, she decided to have people post their results with links to websites.
Here are some of our results, but the USEA wasn't that organised 14 years ago..not all of our horses and placings are on it throughout the years.
The FB page is here:

We have been working on this all year...and finally...we see the fruit....
First Jenny and I became full partners and made SWF A-T an LLC.
Then we both rallied and came up with a down payment, and the impossible became possible...after many ups and downs.
We have not closed yet...but we are in escrow!
Our farm plan has been approved to keep the property in Agriculture, hence we know we are soon to be proud owners of some soil called Semiahmoo Muck.
Sad news, we were too late to purchase the barn and riding arena we jused to lease, the 9 acres got sold and will be turned into a house and the arena into a hobby shop.
The good news...we will have 76 acres of grass land plus minus some forest.

We picked up 4 mares last Friday. First we dropped of 3 horses on Whidbey island for the show were were supposed to attend, then we went to the meeting place and waited for the shippers to arrive,...and waited....
Finally they did come, but we had to take the late boat home, to turn around early in the morning to ride at the show.
Most importantly, all the mares arrived in good health, and are gorgeous.
Aktepel is the dam of 3 mares, Ahli Rhatan a filly I bred, Shirin Giz, a mare I bred, and Gagatli is here from Florida.
