Turkmen Breeds and World Grooming Art

Every year Beleka team celebrates Day of Akhal-Teke horse and participates in International Scientific Conference and International Fair “Turkmen Breeds and World Grooming Art”.

The Akhal-Teke is believed to be one of the oldest domesticated breeds of horse, whose name derives from the Akhal oasis – a former Turkmen fortress – and the Teke, one of the country’s five major tribes. For thousands of years the animals have been prized for their beauty, speed and stamina. Alexander the Great’s favourite horse – Bucephalus – was said to have been an Akhal-Teke.
