@beccalecca1971 No Akhal Tekes are not Arabian horses, Although some blood lines have been mixed for sure. They Originate in North Iran and the Caspian Sea area and Turkmenistan. I have one called Zack they are totally different to Arabs personality is completely different too, lot less flighty, more laid back, but very athletic and have much more stamina then an Arab, and can carry a lot more weight over further distances. There are plenty of part Arab x Tekes about crossed to improve the Arab

@crazyness525 Akhal Tekes are better then Arabians ..They are tough and relentless and nothing stops them. After 700 miles the Arabs slowing down but the Akhal Tekes are only just starting to warm up. I can tell by your comment you have never rode an Akhal Teke? I used to think he same as you by the way and I do like Arabs, I find them to flighty for me though.

Will just say this, Ashgabat to Moscow is 2500 miles, thats the endurance capitol of the world dude! takes 83 days and 235 miles of desert to cross in between.

This is the pre-historic version of the Grand National run at Aintree. Since this time rocks have been replaced by modern fences and a water jump, and has been greatly reduced to just 4 miles plus lol
I have done some pretty rough riding but you guys are crazy bonkers mad. How ya gonna get down from their, they not Pegasus lol

Is this a Bloopers video?~? WHERE is the horsemanship?!? Scary stuff. :0

Enough Arab bashing. Scatterbrained? I wonder what people did to make it that way. I've seen a lot of dumb acting quarter-horses and cracked out thoroughbreds, but honestly I attribute a lot of that to the people that made them that way. Akhal Tekes? I love them too. aren't they an Arabian based desert breed?

Some of those riders are way too fat. Try doing some endurancing yourselves heifers.

@crazyness525 Tekes fair better in the really harsh endurance races they are just not as know due to there being far far far less of them in the world :(
