The Akhal-Teke is a horse breed from Turkmenistan. Its a national emblem of Turkmenistan. These horses are famous for their agility, endurance, speed and the natural metallic shimmer of their coats. These horses are known to be the secret treasurs of Turkmenistan. The Akhal-Teke horses are vigorous, excitable, and restless. Thousands of years of selective breeding have left their mark not only on their physical appearance and efficiency, but also on their behavior. These horses are not only sensible but also very sensitive; they are even able to respond to mental suggestions of humans. Their intelligence is not comparable to any other breed. These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest existing horse breeds, but unfortunately only about 3,500 horses of this breed are left worldwide.
