- Thank you so much for watching! My brother and I traveled across Central Asia in October 2019. Read about locations and trip details below:
Akhal-Teke horses are beloved by the people of Turkmenistan, and known around the world for their beauty and endurance. We visited a ranch in Turkmenistan outside the capital city, Ashgabat.

The Ahal Teke horse comes from the Teke tribe in the Ahal province of Turkmenistan and btw the first treat they gave you is called “Pişme” it’s usually eaten with jam or honey:)
In order to obtain Akhal-Teke horses, the ancients China launched an expeditionary war 2,000 years ago. They sent 100,000 soldiers to travel 4,000 kilometers to Central Asia to fight a horse-grabbing war. 90,000 people died and hundreds of horses were obtained

He launched more then one expedition to obtain a Akhal-Teke, the first 2 failed, last expedition was successful but I read that he only obtained a handful of horses and had only 3,000 of his men survived, it was also said that the ones he obtained had accidentally ran across his armies military line during the last battle, when the warriors were knocked from their horses.
What a special day. Those are great horses. Thank you
These horses look really slim,sleek and elegant. Glamorous horses
So they can run faster,
I think they are building for speed and endurance that why they slim
Perfect description about the turkmen bread:
"...it leaves you want it more."
I tried it when I visited Turkmenistan, and I still remember the taste. It really makes you want it more and more. It is really delicious and tasty.
Thank you for sharing your journey ❤
Been looking for a decent vlog series on Central Asia and finally found it with you guys. Would love to have seen more of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. You could've easily spent two weeks just in Uzbekistan. The region is certainly on my bucketlist, but who knows when I will get there. The non traditional music gave the places a very modern vibe, but I was in general surprised to see how modern some of these places are. There were parts you showed that were even more modern then the US. Overall, nice job showcasing what the region is like. You guys are Central Asian?
Would love to see more videos from other places you've traveled to. I saw an Egypt snippet in there.
Interesting experience！
Wow its nice every other vid I've seen hasn't shown much of the horses
Great a happy journey

Best of the best
The Macedonian’s had their own breed of horse that is now extinct, Akhal-Teke was used to create this breed, unfortunately the Macedonian war horse was fairly new and it died off shortly after Alexander died during the fall his empire. Alexander the Great’s favourite horse Bucephalus was one of these Macedonian war horses. Another unfortunate event is one of the horses required in the breading of the Macedonian war horse was also wiped out during the fall of the Macedonian empire, thus making the revival of the breed impossible. They used the Akhal-Teke bloodline’s because of its durability and adaptability in the desert, combined with 2 other breeds to great a multipurpose horse capable of carrying heavy gear but light enough for battle, that could also survive extreme conditions where the other horses died. Akhal-Teke is the ancestor of many horse breeds we have today the thoroughbred is one of them.
Thank you! While learning about these ancient breeds I began to wonder about Bucephalus. Sad that it sounds like we will not see one like him again.
Wow
look at their skin. wow
Akal teke,Mustang,marwari,Arabian,freisianI love those gifts from god
I like so much this kind of videos❤️❤️
Keep it up 👍👍
Does this ranch have a website?? Turkmenistan is going on my travel bucket list lol
Hi! Turkmenistan is definitely worth visiting! 😊 As a highly regulated country, tourists must travel with a tour guide or program. If you ask your local tour guide to take you to a ranch, you shouldn't have a problem seeing these horses! I hope this is helpful!
Damn
Where is the location of this ranch in Turkmenistan?
Witch one are past Turkmen horse or Arabian horse
👌👍👏🌹🙏🇮🇳
🖤🏇🌹🇹🇷🏇🌹🖤
First non politican person visiting to Turkmenistan
I hear it’s really hard to visit Turkmenistan
Those guys need to put the damn whips away!
What the hell is going on with that young grey horse's back? That's some sway back.
very bumpy ride... Try riding a gated horse breed, paso finos, tenessee walker, missouri fox trotters, as a matter fact go do a video.. Maybe a rare breed and useful for dessert lands, you can run with them, but they are not pleasure riding horses, the ride is very bumpy unless you trot or run.
How to buy him ???
total cost to USA, at least 10 million USD ,I'm Chinese, in my city, there is a breeding center of Akhal-Teke horse, they bought them from several countries of middle Asia and Russian , 6-8million USD each one average....
This is my favourite hore breed but this is not available in India 🥺💔

Anyone Please give me this firm address!!
Akilteke is mustang in English.
Akhal teke is a turkish turkic its not mustang
@@aosis9q even mustang came from central Asia.
This horse is more valuable than a Mustang, and it’s the same price as a British thoroughbred.
Mustang is wild horses.
@@slavish_superiority
Way more expensive on average.
Lower end thoroughbreds with no notable pedigrees are cheap, Akhal Takes are not. However, high end thoroughbreds are just about the same.

Akhenl teke is an Arabic word
No its not. Its a mixture of old Persian and Turkic. Ahal is the region and teke is the tribe that has risen this horses
no, Akhal is the name of a oasis in Turkmanistan， teke is the name of a Persian-Turkish tribe living there， this horse originated from this area. no related to Arabic world
@@martinbanner1565 i used to live in persia and Persian language has a lot of arabic words akhal means a naturally black eyelined
@@bushrasew what about teke arabic also:)?
Beautiful horses but it seems like as always people dont know shit about horse behaviour and how to treat them.
