Brilliant!
Really not my cup of tea build wise, but I do prefer chunky monkies I'm not sure about the colour either.

Lots of photos and videos. I am an AT fan although not convinced by this one, but it is interesting to follow his progress
I really like it - sorry OP! Its bred to cope in an environment far removed from our own, and as endurance horse, and you can see from its muscle structure and the fact its carrying no spare weight that it is extremely well built for endurance. Its also flashy, which is no doubt something that is a bonus when the main means of transport until recently was horses, and something of a status symbol.
Theres far worse examples of unattractive, over-bred equines around. Minataure Falabellas, for example (what is the point in them?), American Shetlands, weedy warmbloods with bad feet, etc.. I bet the Akhal Teke is still a lot more comfortable to ride, particularly with the saddles they use in its native country, than a weedy, narrow warmblood with boxy feet!
Long back in relation to depth of girth or shoulder or what? The not-very-big ribcage/girth makes them look that way don't you think?
