Casual Friday (well, Saturday): Akhal-Teke horses
In the Central Asia Beat, I referred to the Akhal-Teke horse, and then I found some video footage. This horse show video shows a lot of the conformation, coloring, and other physical points of the breed–at its first European horse show in June of this year, in Luxembourg. There’s no plot per se: it’s a vid for horse enthusiasts, 4 minutes.
You can see why they are considered a national treasure: very distinctive looking horses, yes? And now Mr. Karimov has one.
