CCh. Arslan

Arslan represents a significant first step in our Akhal-Teke breeding program.

Arslan marks a significant milestone in our Akhal-Teke breeding program, embodying the excellence of his remarkable lineage. He carries the legacy of two of our most successful Akhal-Tekes, Gozellik and Aygul, both celebrated champions in eventing and outstanding representatives of the breed. Arslan has inherited his parents' grace, athleticism, and structural correctness, making him a compelling stallion prospect.

With his light, elegant build and striking conformation—characterized by a tapered face with large, expressive eyes, an excellent sloping shoulder, and a long, lean frame—Arslan epitomizes the Akhal-Teke ideal. His rare and captivating coat color is the final touch on a horse built for performance and presence. His movement is fluid and elastic, marked by impressive scope and a harmonious balance that serves him exceptionally well in three-day eventing.

Arslan’s distinguished traits are a result of generations of thoughtful breeding. His sire, Bartang, from the renowned Gurtbil Stud in Russia, carries the influential Boinou line through the Mele Kush subline. As the most prominent lineage in the breed, the Boinou line traces back to its founder, Boinou, an exceptional racehorse and prolific sire. Arslan’s dam further strengthens this lineage while connecting to the foundational Turkmen mare, Ai-Djamal.

From his competitive debut, Arslan has been a force to be reckoned with. By the time he reached the Novice level, he had already secured his Continental Championship title. His commanding presence demands attention both in the ring and at home. While his confident, high-spirited personality can present challenges on the ground, it also fuels his competitive drive, focus, and undeniable heart.

As Arslan continues to mature and build on his impressive achievements, our pride in him only grows. We are excited for his future as a sire, with his first foals already displaying the promise of world-class sport horses. His influence on our breeding program and the broader Akhal-Teke community is only just beginning.
