Absolutely beautiful, i would so love to see them , the last one has such a pretty face and i suspect the other two are spectacular in real life. Do you keep them all barefoot?

thanks, they are amazing horses. I'm in love with this breed to be honest. When I moved to the UK from Russia few years ago I started with one AT and now have a collection They are often called as "people horses" as they love to be around humans. I jump and hack with my 11 yo bay gelding and just professionally started my 4 yo buckskin boy this year so very light work with him. 1 yo palomino baby-girl just enjoys her life being a child in the fields with other mares. Boys are shooed on front as we do road work and ground is also very hard this summer but filly is obviously not shooed

The colour on the last one is so amazing. What are they like to ride OP?
I have an Egyptian Arab and a big PRE . The Arab floats along with a trot to die for and the PRE is like a ruddy great war horse that can turn on a dime.
I know nothing about Akhal Tekes so it's lovely to have you on the forum, i have always wondered what riding one would be like, in comparison to mine for example.

They're all beautiful. Your 'baby girl' has a lovely kind face and looks as though she is thoroughly enjoying life. Good luck with them all and I hope you're enjoying the UK.

sorry, what OP stands for? AT are very lively horses, very curious they are normally very comfortable to ride as were bred for riding for a long distance. I didn't ride on many of them as in Russia as I had German horses before moving here but always wanted one of AT. All AT horses I rode in the pasr and both of my boys have lovely paces... on trot and canter you feel like you driving a limousine very very smooth. Saying this they are very quick horses but not spooky and bold so it's great to hack

Sorry FG, i forgot that English is not your first language although you write it beautifully. OP is short for 'original poster' , that is you as you started this post!
I would love to show you my horses but i cannot seem to grasp how to post pictures, i am not very good with computer stuff
You should show your horses in the Tack Room , there are more people who visit there and i am certain that many of them would like to see them. I do not know anybody else on here with one. They sound as if i would enjoy riding one.
