“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.
