It’s a sweeping historical drama, it’s the founding story of the modern #Thoroughbred #horse, & it’s a vivid, inspiring portrait of a great #AkhalTeke #stallion in the dynamic middle period of the breed.
A true “must read” for serious Akhal-Teke fans!

Major new research paper on #horses in #Science today:
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adc9691
“Molecular phylogeny revealed that historic & modern North American male horses carried Y-chromosomal haplotypes belonging to the “Crown group”, which became dominant within the past ~1500 years following the increasing popularity of oriental* stallions at the origin of most non-Asian domestic bloodlines today, including #Arabians, #Barbs, & #Thoroughbreds.”

“The horses were really beautiful animals, mostly of the pure [#AkhalTeke] breed. They are somewhat narrow in the chest, and long in the legs… They are of tolerable speed, and of wonderful endurance.”
— Edmond O’Donovan, “The Merv Oasis - Travels and Adventures East of the Caspian during the years 1879-80-81 including Five Months’ Residence among the Tekkes of Merv,” published 1883, Volume 2, p58.

Just had to experiment with the new “copy object from an image” feature in iOS 16.1.2. And a photo of beloved #AkhalTeke #stallion Anikit seems like a natural.
