Silk Road Journey Xinijang: Akhal-teke horse business booms

[@jeerajira]

They treated Akhal Teke not good enough. Poor horse stay ,step nearly most of the time on cement floor.

[@kevintewey1157]

2.5 million homeless children sleep on the streets in the USA and you don't complain about them at all I guess you think they are not as good as the horses

[@WhiteWolfos]

​@@kevintewey1157 one cruelty does not cover for another.

[@NerdyMichii96]

​@@kevintewey1157there's also homeless children outside of the usa but i guess you don't care about them either? Hypocrite /sarcasm

[@gogabogovi9744]

I ride akhaltekes that are all year kept out in the fealds. They live and breed naturally. They are healthy and phisically stabile. Don t like what they are doing to these horses in the movie. I can see they are not happy.

[@bullwhite9695]

They are happy spots on its body

[@tangra681d2]

Your akhal teke’s are as purebred as a stray dog

[@kevintewey1157]

No you cannot see anything here but you can see 2.5 million homeless children in the USA and you never care about them

[@alihansari2585]

Akhal teke is türkmen horse love all turks

[@hai9017]

I love how they try and make it sound like their being treated like royalty and then lock them up in a tiny cage... like would at least putting down a rubber mat kill you?

[@kevintewey1157]

There are worth thousands of dollars are you sure they do not?

[@kevintewey1157]

Would it kill you in the USA to put houses for 2.5 million homeless children one day of the military budget would do it

[@youraveragemexorican]

Those are incredibly spacious stables-have you seen the ones in the U.S? Not as big

[@fredtan1506]

These horses are truly magnificent, as if they jumped out of ink brush painting.

[@lauratanln]

What is the use of looking magnificant if they are treated as slaves by humans and have no freedom?

[@PapyruseRIder]

Let's hope that what happened to the Tibetan Mastiff in China doesn't happen to these horses.

[@EyotaWolfz]

Seriously? Millions of dollars? In Europe you can buy an Akhal Teke foal for about €2000,- ...

[@Criderq]

LittleMarch most of the akhal teke who are around 2000 euros arent full akhal tekes or have a defect, the good ones are most of the time above the 20.000 euros. but i havent seen one who is millions of dollars, either,

[@turkmenish5500]

They cost even 2 mln. But only in turkmenistan

[@tangra681d2]

Mfs look at the shitty ebay horses and decide that is the top class

[@lechandler4041]

Question: I always was under the impression that "heavenly horses" were "war horses," that is heavy, large horses similar to knights horses. Is that incorrect?

[@bluesytb]

Kenneth N. Shortlidge yes. Tekes/Turkomens are/were fine boned, but very tough. Horses from central asia are far lighter than what would be known as destriers (medieval war horses from europe)

[@tangra681d2]

They are war horses. In ancient times the steppe nations that used them like the bulgars would train them to fight in battle alongside the warriors.

[@RuthKarowRUTHGABRIELE]

Watch how big the Persien Kingdom was in ancient times. They controlled it all with those horses.

[@ineshvaladolenc6559]

They are not as heavy as coursers (most modernday drafts, which also descend form them, though slightly smaller) But also smaller than destriers (e.g. the Spanish breeds) They, along with Arabs, Islandic horses (some call them ponies), Mongolian horses (again, some, due to their size, call them ponies) are classified as rounceys. Small but tough horses, with great stamina, often high agility, speed - some are even gaited, and overall lower provisionary upkeep than the bigger European breeds of the time, were perfect for skirmishing and popular with horse archers.

[@yūsari5331]

That horse is Red Hare.

[@lekkki1]

Nice to see a farm setting up to preserve the breed. I hope they adhere to the bloodline. Tekes are not the most expensive horses in the world, by a long shot. They are pretty rare though.

[@lauratanln]

Farms exploit animals by artificially inseminating them by force. It's not ethical to breed animals to exist and suffer from exploitation as slaves for humans. Horses were on earth millions of years longer than human developed. Now in this 21st century we need to breed them?

[@salvato2573]

Horses senses greedy people.. that's why on this video they're unease

[@kevintewey1157]

They're exercising them you don't know anything I can tell you that there are 2.5 million homeless children in the USA and you don't care about them at all

[@hado2572]

Hope that china will remember also in future that this horse breed will stay a symbol of oğuz turks in general

[@thewayfaringgoblin4544]

i hope china doesnt fuck up this breed of horse like they have done the majestic tibetan mastiff

[@esaflaka9155]

It was cool seeing them ig trying to keep the breed alive. Until it was all about them🙄”make art of the horses, documentaries, movies, etc. till then we’re the biggest akhal teke horse farm...” then i seen they’re just money greedy. Hopefully horses get taken care of and let out of stalls to run and play, not stay in stalls just to “keep them clean” and look pretty.

Shut up You are totally blind to 2.5 million homeless children in the USA

@@kevintewey1157 😂 talking about horses here heck.

[@youdoonedoes3984]

This looks increasingly weird... do the horses ever see green fields...?

[@tangra681d2]

They are not supposed to really. They were developed in the desert

[@NeetchianQueen]

Didn't these horses belong to the uigers tribe?

[@itsokay9235]

Horses even don't like Chinese... Cause they're originally Turkmen.

[@kevintewey1157]

China: please pay for our travels room, food and we will work almost for free we are qualified

[@clairemarshallsounddesign2110]

Common misconception that the Teke's are an unhindered breed in terms of their genetics, but it is not quite accurate. Claims that they have provenance to the Scythian peoples of the central Steppes is largely the fallacial stories of the modern Turkmen regime who rewrite and revise their histories to validate their own strange form of nationalism
