The “Akhal-Teke of the Month” Award program was created to facilitate and inspire the promotion of Akhal-Teke horses worldwide who are representing their breed with excellence. Each month, horses can be nominated by Akhal-Teke Community International members by submitting the horse below with an achievement, story, activity, or description that demonstrates the horse’s excellence and embodiment of the breed.
The current award form is a beautiful engraved, glass piece–featuring exquisite Akhal-Teke fine art by the talented Alexandra Munksgaard.
Some questions you might consider for nominating a horse.

- The nominated horse must be a registered purebred Akhal-Teke with the International Russian Studbook
