Asil Tumay ("Tommy") earned Reserve High Point honors at the Hardin Memorial Horse show this weekend in Milton-Freewater, Oregon. Tommy garnered well over a dozen ribbons in various classes, including a lovely large reserve high point ribbon and a nice heavy glass mug as an award. He competed against a variety of different horse breeds in both english and western events. Tommy is pictured with his owner/rider Shannon Mayfield and ring stewards of the Pioneer Posse rodeo court.

Endurance News (magazine of the AERC) had a full page “Breed Awards” page and we’re number one on it (thanks to alphabetizing!)
http://www.aerc.org/Breed_Awards.aspx The ATAA has an extensive awards program this year combined with the "FOTATA" awards. Sweet Water Farm Akhal-Teke took 3 purebred Tekes and a pony to school cross country at the Whidbey Island Pony Club course.
It was Penta's first time out on an "official" course, and he is a natural, doesn't care about water nor ditches. Kegas and Paktaly did great and our student who has not even been riding for a year did fabulous on the pony..some day she'll be campaigning a Teke! By Cathy Leddy from Cascade Gold Akhal-Teke; We just got back from our weekend at the Klickitat Endurance ride in Glenwood WA. I rode Galen in the limited distance ride on Saturday, along with Monica on Danny (Magdan) and Shannon Mayfield on Octopelle. It was supposed to be a 25 mile ride, but it turned out to be just a tad longer (37 miles!) Happily, the ride management changed the completions to a 35 mile ride. I top tenned (10th place), although I didn’t ask my placing when I finished, so I didn’t show for best condition. Monica and Shannon completed the ride and we all enjoyed the lovely scenery, exciting water crossings, great volunteers and fun atmosphere. We stayed an extra day to help our friend Susan who rode on Sunday also and did lots of socializing. We had lots of questions about our horses and Tekes in general, so possibly we’ll see more and more Tekes on endurance rides in the future. From Francine Anderson riding the stallion Eramay:
The ride was at Boars Head Ranch in Dade City Florida. It was called the South Creek Foxhounds Hunter Pace and we were in the endurance class. It consisted of 2 loops of 8 miles with a minimum 10 minute break between. We completed each loop in about 1 hour.There were many jumps along the way which he jumped very willingly. I think Eramay really enjoyed it, I sure did! On June 9th Eramay will be at an AWS inspection. Will let you know what happens. Francine Here is latest update on the airings on HRTV of the Akhal-Teke TV Episode. Since horse people typically enjoy seeing information on other breeds as well, I've posted the entire list of HorseFlicks programs airing over the next two weeks, including the Akhal-Teke episode, which airs again on June 1st and June 2nd. We hope you enjoy some of the other breeds featured as well!

Adams endurance ride this past weekend. This is a great ride – about 6 hours away, nice camping, just about perfect trails and views to kill for. We got there Friday night, got settled in and vetted and went for a short ride. My ankles were not happy, so we didn’t go far. We did some visiting around camp and then turned in for our early start the next day. We met Lisa Preston, who was there with her young Teke-Arab filly for her first LD ride. There was one other Teke cross there with Mona Thacker. Her Shiraz has been competing for quite a few years and has been racking up the miles. Click to read more... Sweet Water Farm Akahal-Teke is excited to announce the arrival of a filly on May 17th.
She is by Pan Tau and Pipi. Here she is not even a day old! |
