2019 will mark 20 years of breeding Akhal-Teke horses for me. In those 20 years i have compiled an extensive photo library of sires and dams, have my own pedigree data base and visited Akhal-Teke horses all over the USA, Europe, Turkmenistan and even Iran.
I love this breed, as many people do,...but why, with the information we have today at our fingertips, is clubfeet so rampant in our beloved breed!
And mostly, not taken seriously!
It is THE reason I have picture pedigrees of all of me horses on the web, so one can see the conformation that gets passed on trough the generations.
There are certain sire lines who's offspring even today, 5 generations later, still produce clubfeet in their offspring!
I hope with more awareness, less "line breeding", there will be better breeding choices made in the future.

Hi Everyone,
We are going hosting a clinic on plastic horse shoes you can either Velcro or glue on.
Saturday October 13
Please sign up here: https://www.terrahorse.com/events

She will demo how to put them on and all participants will get a discount on their order or pre-order and she will bring them. Here is the link to dealer in the USA https://www.terrahorse.com/about-us And the website to the manufacturer https://pp-systems.at/accessories/ Here is what she will do: We would give a little bit of hoof basics and then explain why Esprit and show them how to mount them on one or two of your horses (depending on how many people we have that are watching). Clinic charge would be 45$ per Person. If they buy Esprit shoes within the next week after the clinic, they get 15% off of online orders. Or, they can preorder with their application and we can bring them with us to the clinic. (Saves them 10-15 $ with the discount, depending on which product they buy, plus another 10$ in shipping). The clinic would go 2 hours probably.

On June 25th Maralle gave birth to this beautiful filly sired by Aliger.
Her name Merwerit means pearl in Turkmen. Not only does she look like a pearl, I feel lucky to have a filly by the wonderful stallion Aliger who does not have a lot of offspring and is an older sire born in 1995.

May 21st, 2018 Kamil was born. His name means "perfect socks"! Only too often do horses have 3 stockings or just one and make their legs look uneven...I feel extremely lucky to have 4 matching socks! I think this colt has potential to stand at stud! Excited to see him grow up!

I am very excited that the mare Ayal Pikira is in foal to Kambarbay. The foal will be due in May.
Ayapl Pikira is suoer typee and shiney, and so is Kambarbay! Can't wait ti meet the new foal!

From the stallion Aliger I am expecting 2 foals. Aliger was born in 1995 and stands at stud in Colorado. He does not have that many foals on the ground, a real shame in my opinion!
Aktepel and Maralle are both pregnant by him.

Sweet Water Farm imported the first 10 dozes of Kambarbay's frozen semen to the US in 2014, and used it on 5 mares, four got pregnant the first try.
The foals born in 2015 were Ak Farfor out of Leucosia, Arslan Jorap out of Ahlie Rhatan, Aykyssa out of Aktepel and Komissar Hyrdar out of Sheherezad.

In 2015 Ahlie Rhatan was bred back to Kambarbay's frozen semen and Ak Hadysa has born in 2016.

Also born in 2016 were the filly Nezhnaya out of Gagatli and Swan Bir Sah out of Pipi.

I'm very excited to see the next generation from these foals!

Kambarbay, the silvery shiney perlino stallion standing at stud in England has a full sister
SARYYAGYZ is her name, she was bred by the same breeder who bred her full brother, Akhal Teke Est in Estonia
Saryyagyz has had 3 foals as of today and all have been sold in Europe.

shirin Giz gave birth to a filly out of Pan Tau. Not sure what color she actually is!!!!!
she is as cute as can be!

as the days went by, and due date passed, I got anxious I would miss this birth! Due to go to the Akhal-Teke convention in Turkmenistan, the morning before getting on the plane I did an early morning check and there she was! So relieved to see that all is well!!!
​a much better way to start the long trip!
