Here is a link to 2019’s Annual Report, a huge thank you to Yorke McGillivray for this!  https://spark.adobe.com/page/r4xtVT0LhirfQ/
  • In 2019, we spearheaded the SANA (Stewardship Awards of North America) Rare Breeds Show, during the Western States Horse Expo, in Sacramento, CA. 
 
  • In 2019, we launched an ambitious grant-supported program to further assist with the registration of North American Akhal-Teke horses in the closed Russian Studbook (VNIIK). We brought over Nadja Tarasova and Artur Baboev to help with VNIIK registration issues.  We filmed the beginning of what will be online tutorial videos to help with various issues.
 
  • We had an amazing ATAA Conference in Canada in October, with excellent speakers, food and a clinic on Akhal-Teke horses with an Olympic dressage rider.
 
  • We’re continuing the Incentive Fund Awards, which have grown every year, as well as Discipline and Volunteer awards. All these projects are made possible through generous donations, grants, and YOUR membership dollars.
 
  • We have big plans for 2020, including a Grading Tour with Nadezhda Abramova, Nadja Tarasova and Artur Baboev.


Please continue supporting our community, and share with a friend!

2020  AT Grading Tour Announcement!

11/8/2019

2 Comments

 
​Attention all Akhal-Teke owners in N. America!  The Akhal-Teke Association of America is currently working on a 2020 VNIIK Grading Tour for late spring.  We will be bringing Nadezdha Abramova, Nadja Tarasova, and Artur Baboev for approximately 2 weeks.   We are specifically wanting at least 8-10 horses per location. If there are several farms within a few hours of each other that can mutually come up with a location to bring all the horses together for inspection (fairgrounds? nearby horse facility?) , that would be ideal.   If you are interested in having your horse(s) officially graded for the Russian Stud Book, please contact Betsy Wandler at betsysee@gmail.com or on fb for information or questions.

DEADLINE FOR  VNIIK REGISTRATION  SOON!

9/26/2019

Attention everyone!!
VNIIK wants to stop accepting purebred AT registration for older non-VNIIK registered horses soon (older horses that not have been VNIIK registered yet).   This means that the day is coming that if your horses are NOT in the closed VNIIK studbook, they will NOT be considered Purebred Akhal-Tekes.
They want current year foals registered by October 1st (or the process started):
Please: 
  • Fill out the VNIIK Foal form (for horses of ALL ages if not already VNIIK registered)- sire and dams need VNIIK numbers, not the ATAA numbers. (Questions, see below)
  • Fill out ATAA registration form
  • Take photos, fill in markings in application in RED INK.
  • Send forms, photos and fees to the Registration Secretary to start the process. PayPal and email is ok.
 Don’t panic if your horse’s older relatives aren’t VNIIK registered  We have a grant to help with that:
‘Previously unregistered purebred ancestors will be “noted” in VNIIK with a foal registration number for a fee of approximately $41 per unregistered ancestor or parent, paid by our grant.
This is instead of a full blown VNIIK passport of each unregistered parent/ancestor of $186 each. Contact the registrar or Registration Secretary to see if your horse’s ancestors qualify for this program.  YOU STILL NEED TO PAY FOR YOUR HORSE’S VNIIK REGISTRATION!!!!’
Questions:  Ask Amrita at ibolds@rockisland.com or Cathy at c.leddy@frontier.com

Clinic with 5 riders
 
I am really trying to get other Tekes to come for this! If no one else can bring horses we can offer 4-5 horses to have other people ride in the clinic. This clinician is an excellent teacher and is wonderful to watch or to ride with.  I really hope everyone can take something away from this weather watching, or riding. I also really hope this is an opportunity for us as ambassadors of the breed to be able to show some of the public what these horses can do. If any of you know anyone with a Teke that would be interested in bringing a Teke or two or anyone who would be interested in riding please let me know.  I will give first come to those brining horses, and if there is enough interest from riders I will do a raffle for the riders spots.

 
Talks on:
​
Equine Sports Medicine, Marketing your Equine, Equine Nutrition, Welcome to the Akhal-Teke breed (public invited), Saddle fitting, Awards Banquet, and a clinic with Megan Lang - Canadian Dressage Team, Olympic, WEG rider, pan American medalist.  There will be 2 clinic spots raffled off to attending conference goers, with the use of Akhal-Valley horses.
 
We are also negotiating for special guests from Russia – information to be announced later!
