"Golden Horses" (I am not a horse person though I have to confess that the horse looks stunningly beautiful.) Akhal-teke, a golden color horse breed, over 3000 years old, as if woven from golden silk thread. This breed comes from Turkmenistan, where it is a national symbol. There are only 6600 of this breed left in the world. They have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen. A number of other colors are recognized, including bay, black, chestnut, and grey. Aficionados of breed claim that color pattern served as camouflage in desert. Many Akhal-Tekes have a natural metallic sheen to their coat, particularly noticeable in those with cream gene colors. Enjoy...
