Akhal-Teke EST was founded in January 2002 when the first two purebred Akhal-Teke horses were purchased – stallion Kuvvatli (line Posman) and mare Akkol (line Arab). Kuvvatli was already in Estonia, imported in 1994 from Turkmenistan. Akkol arrived to our farm from Moscow. The first purebred Akhal-Teke foal Alaja from those two was born in 2003 at the Akhal-Teke EST Stud, but unfortunately she didn’t survive. By now we have got three more foals from them, all colts - Kuwwat in 2004, Kelchermek in 2006 and Kuvandyk in 2007.
In summer 2003 the second purebred AT mare Bahar (line Arab) was imported from St.Peterburg. She was pregnant when arrived and gave birth to Birinji (also line Arab). A year later Bahar brought us a wonderful colt Kacan by Kuvvatli – that foal had an extraordinary friendly character and was a dream to handle. In 2006 Bahar got another foal from Kuvvatli - buckskin filly Beyonce, though not at our farm anymore but at new home at Dalida Achal-Teke.Cz in Czech Republic.
In autumn 2003 we had not-planned addition to our herd by an AT gelding Djemgiet (line Gelishikli). Djemgiet had been imported from Turkmenistan to Estonia with 5 other purebred AT stallions in 1994 – by the way, Kuvvatli was also one of those stallions. Meanwhile Djemgiet had been gelded and used as a hobby-horse. At us he was also used for hobby-riding. He was a nice horse with the exceptional height for an Akhal-Teke – 168cm – and very nice movements. Unfortunately he got an injury in autumn 2005 what couldn’t be treated and had to be put down.

In summer 2004 we had a trip to Russia where we visited many Akhal-Teke farms. We saw hundreds of purebred Akhal-Teke horses and collected the whole possible data including photos and video of about 200 sale horses. We got great connections with many Akhal-Teke breeders, and could choose some new horses to our AT herd addition. So in winter 2004/2005 six new purebred Akhal-Teke mares – Bibigiz (line Gelishikli), Firiuda (line Gelishikli), Fragariia (line Kaplan), Kichidjik (line Kir Sakar), Kichitorgai (line Gelishikli) and Sonata (line Arab) - from Stavropol and Yulduz farms arrived to Estonia. As two Stavropol mares were pregnant, they soon brought us two wonderful colts – Myrat (line Posman) and Serdarjan (line Sere). These colts have wonderful Akhal-Teke looks and will stay at us. Specially Myrat has got much attention both from Aleksander Klimuk himself from one side, and several Akhal-Teke breeders in Europe and the USA on the other side. We are really very lucky to have this colt for breeding.
In spring 2005 we bred 3 of these mares - Kichidjik, Kichitorgai and Sonata - with our stallion Kuvvatli. From these breedings the following foals were born - perlino colt Kambarbay out of Sonata, bay filly Kamilotta out of Kichidjik and dark golden buckskin colt Kemput out of Kichitorgai.
In November 2006 two more mares arrived to our farm from Russia - Sayatkhanum (line Gelishikli) from Akhalt-Service Stud and Zeinab (line Gelishikli) from stud farm Geli. Sayatkhanum was pregnant and got a nice buckskin colt Melesar (line Fakirpelvan) in May 2007. Three more foals were born in spring 2007 - black filly Guli-Star out of Sonata and Gulistan and two buckskin foals from Kuvvatli - colt Kuvandyk from Akkol and filly Kyssa from Kichidjik.
Despite of very strange breeding season in 2007 we had incredibly good foaling year in summer 2008. 7 mares of 9 got a foal. 3 fillies - perlino Saryyagyz, bay Belentgyz and buckskin Fiona; and 4 colts - bay Kalibar, buckskins Kemsiz and Kesgin and palomino Krym. All the foals are by Kuvvatli.

From last year we have also started breeding with our young stallion Myrat and got 2 mares pregnant by him. We`ll anxiously look forward to see his first foals this year.
Our stallion Kuvvatli is and will be one of our basic stallions having good AT type, great movements and very interesting pedigree. He is recommended for breeding by MAAK and is also well-noted by one of the greatest Akhal-Teke breeders Mr. Aleksander Klimuk.

All our stallions are and will be offered for outside mares as well – both cooled and frozen semen (see here).

Last but not least we have got a really rare and unique frozen semen of an exceptional AT stallion Gulistan who was a son of a line-founder Kaplan himself. Gulistan had passed away around 20 years ago, but as far as we know, he was never used in purebred breeding. As there aren’t very many doses of his frozen semen left, we plan to use him only on our best AT mares. In 2006 we succeeded to get our mare Sonata pregnant from the frozen semen of Gulistan and in May 2007 the black filly Guli-Star was born! This is really exciting, as Guli-Star is the very first purebred foal of Gulistan and she was born over 20 years after Gulistan himself had passed away!

This year we are expecting 3 Akhal-Teke foals to be born - from mare Kichitorgai by Kuvvatl; and Akkol and Kichidjik by Myrat.

There are six Akhal-Teke sirelines represented at our farm – stallions and colts from sirelines Kaplan (frozen semen), Posman and Sere; mares and fillies from sirelines Arab, Gelishikli, Kaplan, Kir Sakar and Posman.

We haven’t had many Akhal-Teke horses for sale so far, but those who have been offered, are sold to Czech Republic, Finland, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, the U.A.E. and the USA.


Akhal-Teke EST is a member of MAAK and is following the suggestions and advices in breeding only of the best specialists in AT breed. Akhal-Teke EST is also a member of Akhal-Teke Horse Association. On the request of latter we had the honour to attend the AT Show in Ettelbrück, Luxembourg as judges in 2007.

The Akhal-Teke EST stud is managed mainly by Kätlin Leisson and Kaido Puusepp who are both veterinarians specialised on horses (see here).
