From our community-nominated horses, and chosen by international community vote, our “Akhal-Teke of the Month” for October is awarded to… 
Raindancer
“Raindancer, a 2017 gelding by Tay Shael x Tulah, has been paving the way for Akhal-Tekes in the sport of Working Equitation in North America as the first Akhal-Teke to hold an USAWE recording. Already 3 other Akhal-Tekes have tried the sport inspired by Raindancer’s accomplishments on the continent. Raindancer has been collecting ribbons especially in the dressage and speed categories. In the last year he also won recognition as Highpoint Speed Champion and was awarded the Publicity and Competition horse awards from the Akhal-Teke Association of America. Outside the competition ring, Raindancer also helps work cattle–a rare and refreshing sight that demonstrates Akhal-Tekes’ extreme versatility. Raindancer is always so relaxed, willing, and observant making him an excellent and reliable partner horse.”
Many congratulations to Raindancer and his owner Eve Deering on this special recognition by the Akhal-Teke Community International! This duo has clearly been a great inspiration to the community through their hard work and determination together. We all look forward to seeing what they do next!
