Akhal-Teke Foundation

The Akhal-Teke Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to preserving and promoting the Akhal-Teke horse, one of the world’s oldest and rarest breeds. With fewer than 5,000 Akhal-Tekes worldwide and fewer than 400 in North America, the breed faces a significant conservation challenge. The Foundation brings people together to help secure its future through education, preservation, and community partnership.

Its mission focuses on supporting sustainable breeding, humane care, and greater cultural awareness, while empowering a global community that values these remarkable horses. Through its programs, the Foundation works to protect the breed for future generations and share its importance as a living connection to history, biodiversity, and equestrianism. The organization also offers ways for supporters to contribute, including donations and an email list, and provides information through its website’s sections on the breed, programs, horses, and library. By connecting education with preservation and public involvement, the Akhal-Teke Foundation seeks to sustain a rare and endangered equine heritage.
