Cascade Gold'S Cathy Leddy is running for board position!

I have been breeding, training, riding and competing on Akhal-Tekes for 28 years now.  I saw my first live Akhal-Teke in 1986, when my husband and I were moving from Michigan to Washington State.  I stopped off at Eberhard Sprandel’s farm in Colorado (it happened to be on the way!) and lost my heart.  I bought my first Teke mare, Molnija, sight unseen later that year and have never regretted it.  She died in 2006 at age 20, but left behind quite a legacy!

I bought my second Teke at the Sprandel Auction in 1990 and Mirija joined my herd.  At this time, these two Teke mares were the only Akhal-Tekes in the Pacific Northwest.  Since 1986, I’ve ridden dressage, done some jumping, had a few children and I’m now dabbling in endurance.

In 1993, I bought several more Tekes and I was on my way.  Since then, I’ve had over 40 foals born at my farm, many of them by my now retired stallion, Astrachan.  There are now about 100-250 pure and part-bred Akhal-Tekes in the Pacific Northwest and several other breeders.

I started The Akhal-Teke Quarterly in 1995 and published it until 2003. I hosted the 1st Annual North American Akhal-Teke Conference in Snohomish in 1995 and have sat on the Board of Directors for the Akhal-Teke Association of America for many years, mostly in the capacity of secretary, although I’m now acting as registration secretary too.  I have been editing the ATAA Newsletter since January of 2012 and helping out with some beeed promotions, including the first Akhal-Teke DVD and our upcoming one and the Breeder’s Co-op booth at the 2010 World Equestrian Games, along with giving lessons, competing and breeding.    I enjoy getting the word out about our fantastic horses and plan on continuing my efforts for years to come.
