Sunday Photos – The Golden Horses of Turkmenistan

The Akhal-Teke horses are the national animal of Turkmenistan.

They are thought to be one of the oldest horse breeds in the world and have been the companions of the nomadic Seljuk Turks & Turkmen for many centuries.

The strikingly beautiful beasts shine golden in the Central Asian sunshine and are rightfully a great source of national pride.
