ATHA
In 2002 the Akhal Teke Horse Association (ATHA) was originally founded with it’s main purpose to bring Akhal Teke owners together and to promote the Akhal Teke in West Europe.
Over the years we have grown into an association with around 75 members from amongst others the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Denmark, Norway, Germany. We do our best to bring members closer together in various ways. Examples of this is organizing online presentation about AT related subjects and the AT European Championship. Every two years we try to organize this championship in a place in Europe so that members from all over Europe can come and have their horses judged by official jury members from Russia.
Other activities of ATHA are publishing a yearly magazine Teke Mania for members made by members. With al kind of AT related articles, interviews and results of AT championships in Europe and Russia.
We are maintaining a website with information about members, their horses, helping registering horses with MAAK, and other studbook questions.
Another important activity is helping to register members’ horses with MAAK, apply for passports and ownership certificates, breeding certificates for stallions and registration of adult breeding mares in the General Studbook. We keep MAAK informed about births, deaths, sales and other happenings and sort out problems of registrations that were never properly completed. In this way we strengthen our ties with the General Studbook of Akhalteke Horses and keep our members informed.
Last but not least, we would like to help you with finding the perfect Akhal Teke for you!
