The RAREST HORSE on Earth (Akhal-Teke)

Any horse lovers out there?!
In Turkmenistan, horses are so loved that they are considered a family member. They have a specific breed of horse, called the Akhal-Teke, which is only found here and it's one of the most unique animals I've ever seen!
They are known for their speed, intelligence, endurance and ability to withstand extreme temperatures as they live in the desert. There are currently less than 6,000 Akhal-Teke horses left on earth, and I was lucky enough to visit 70 of them today in a small farm outside of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
More to come tomorrow from this fascinating country!

The Akhal-Teke is the present-day relative of the now-extinct Turkoman breed which is one of the horses you can ride in Red Dead Redemption 2 and is considered to be one of the best breeds in the game. Having said that I wonder if Drew's a gamer.

[@CAPTAIN_TERMINOTERROR]

Yeah i play Rdr2 and i have a Turkoman currently.

[@69Solo]

Its not the best breed in the game, but its the best looking breed in the game and no other breed looks as good as good Turkoman. No other breed even comes close to its personality, looks, etc. It has a perfect height, perfect width, perfect neck, perfect jaw, wish it had longer hairs though. The dark brown bay with white socks is my favorite one. Man that skin looks so killer to me! ❤ I am a big fan of the Arabians, but Turkoman is my favorite when it comes to looks and showoffs. If I have to choose between Arabian and Turkoman, I would choose Turkoman any day, but Arabians are also great. Its going to be a tough competition though. Its like war between Elites and Royal. Wish I could afford them both though. Here I am broken and talking about owning them. hehehe 😂🤣

You don't have to be some expert to handle this breed, you just need to know how to handle horses. They are intelligent, quiet and willing horses. I'm sure these owners want it to seem they are some sort of handle-with-care animal to increase their perceived exclusivity and discourage competitors getting into breeding them, but they just excellent and amazing looking horses, not flighty and dangerous wild deer or something.

Yeah, some generalizations happening- but while there are a very limited amount of purebred AT’s in the world, you do still find them all over the world- as they are absolutely gorgeous and prized for their unique beauty (I was disappointed that Drew didn’t show many full body images of these horses- but if you are interested, there are Tons of them online) They aren’t really “the most rare horse breed” - but they ARE a magnificent breed with the most rare coloring - their hair has a special structure which makes a metallic sheen, not found in any other purebred horse in the world.

If 10% of the breed is 600 horses. Than means there’s 6000. That’s rare. Not rarest but rare.

[@equidaes]

Laura Starling Your attitude is making you the dick, not me. Just because we’re all on earth does not mean there can’t be rare species. The Akhal Teke is common in the US & middle east, but SOME countries it’s not common, and would be considered rare in. :) Good day

[@HEMI-MOMMA]

Konoba You have NO idea what you’re talking about! According to THE Akhal Teke Association of America, there are 477 American registered Akhal Teke in the U.S., some which are pending. Other references say there are definitely less than 600 total animals “IN” the U.S. If that’s not rare, I don’t know what is. It’s certainly not a sustainable healthy gene pool in itself.

[@destinationaddictionsamsar7894]

Of course chains.... at least they didn't have needles under the halter😒 If you ever see a horse with chains ect you'll know right away the horse isn't trained properly and the owners are just trying to cheat in its training. Lazy and uneducated owners. Don't come at me and say "it's a stallion, it's a big horse, it's a warm blood ect." Because again those are just excuses and shows you're not at the level yet to have that horse. You're just looking for a quick fix and don't want to take the time to properly train them.
