It has been written and said so much about the history of Ahalteke horses, their beauty and outstanding qualities, that it seems that there is nothing to add. The authors of numerous publications, scientific papers, literary and musical works, and works of fine art have expressed their everlasting admiration about this wonderful creature. Cinematographers have devoted a lot of documentaries and feature films to the outstanding representatives of this legendary breed, and various schools of horse breeding and training horses, the relationship between a man and horse.
But in modern time that has come to the ancient Turkmen land – the homeland of Ahalteke horses, the unfading interest in ‘heavenly’ horses has come up with a bang. This is a direct result of the large-scale activity on revival of the national horse breeding traditions, development of equestrian sport, selection and breeding work on preserving and improving the natural characteristics of Ahalteke horses and their gene pool held in the country on the initiative and under the personal patronage of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov. In the context of this work that includes various areas, the significant events were creation of the International Association of Ahalteke Horses under the chairmanship of the President of Turkmenistan, opening new equestrian complexes in all regions of the country, and establishment of the beauty contest among Ahalteke horses at the international level.
Today Turkmenistan has once again gathered together experts and admirers of Ahalteke horses, scientists, horse breeders, jockeys, who will take part in the traditional celebrations on occasion of the Turkmen Horse Day. Among numerous foreign guests, there are cinematographers, whose visit to country is directly related to the unique heritage and the present day of the Turkmen horse breeding.
Thus, the Amazing Pictures American Company will create a documentary dedicated to legendary Ahalteke horses, the history of the world-known horse breed and its present day.
Within the framework of the visit to Turkmenistan the members of the creative team of the project will collect materials for the new film and take part in the II International Conference of the International Associations of Ahalteke Horse Breeding, IV International Conference “Turkmen Horses and the Art of World Horse Breeding” as well as the large-scale festivities, which will be held in the Turkmen capital and at the velayat equestrian complexes to mark the Turkmen Horse day.
