Some wonderful photos of stallion Pahan (1084 Padishah - 2972 Hanbibi), who is to date the only Akhal-Teke in the United States to have competed at the Grand Prix dressage level. Bred by Tito Pontecorvo and ridden by Yvonne Barteau. Originally shared and photos taken by Erika Wyatt here.

Wow - Pahan built some MUSCLES!!! And quite the seat in an extended trot without the ridiculous knee pads.

Dressage takes real body control and serious strength! It’s amazing to see how it transforms even our lean Akhal-Tekes into beautiful powerhouses.
