Flying Arrow by Ekaterina Druz.
Belongs to the gallery Russian Artists New Wave.
Akhalteke graceful stallion Aknur is almost flying over the ground, while running free. He is flexible like a snake, with a grace of the cheetah and speed of the eagle. He is so special and looks like a horse from ancient paintings.
Akhalteke, Russia.
The striking Akhal-Teke breed has overcome many setbacks during its 3000-year history, but its influence on other horse breeds cannot be denied. Now, the ancient breed is returning to the spotlight, with its athleticism, stamina, speed, agility, and exceptional movement winning admirers.
The Akhal Teke is considered to be one of the oldest of modern domesticated equine breeds in existence. The breed as it is known today first appeared in Turkmenistan, Central Asia, in Kara Kum, a rocky, flat desert surrounded by mountains which played a significant role in preserving the Akhal Teke�s purity. Tribesmen of Turkmenistan first used the horses for raiding and they were selectively bred for speed and agility. Pedigree records were maintained orally by Turkomen tribesmen.
