The Royal Show 1-4 July, 2007
We have attended the Royal Show, but we have had to pack up and go home on
Monday night (2nd July). We have had heavy bursts of rain on and off, and by
Monday night the place looked like a big lake. Very few people were prepared to
brace the mud and come to our stand. It was such a pity having our stay cut short
as a few people were commenting on how nice it was to see something different at
the show and how impressed they were. We really wished for more. It is one soggy
summer in UK!

Dec 2006 We have visited our friends and fellow Teke owners in Devon, Maria and
Nigel Baverstock. They have a beautiful long legged stallion Mualim (Gayaz-Aida)
line Posman, bred by Shael Stud, Russia. He has got the character of a true
warhorse. Mualim has started his training in dressage. We wish Maria and Mualim all
the future success with their training! For the pictures from the visit click here.

Dec 29-31, 2006 We have been visited by Maria and have done some training with
our stallion Dominik (took him out on the road for the first time in UK). It was very
overwhelming and enjoyable experience and we are very delighted how well
everything went. We are happy that we have taken him to the next level in his
training. Maria has written a "report" on this experience and her thoughts from the
visit. We would like to thank Maria for her kind efforts and a lot of support that she
has given us. To read the report by Maria from her visit to us click here.

April 06, 2007 It is very hot here and the horses love it. They enjoy going out to
their paddock every morning and do some sunbathing. I've taken a camera with me
this morning and took a few shots. I've created a separate page with the pictures. To

March 30, 2007 I have been to visit Maria and Mualim in Devon. I have thoroughly
enjoyed spending my time watching Mualim at work and going out for a ride and
being able to appreciate the finely trained and tuned Teke, learning a few things along
the way. To see the pictures from the visit and read more click here.

Devon County Show 17-19 May, 2007
We have thoroughly enjoyed being at Devon county and giving people the chance to
see and learn about the breed. We would like to thank the people at the Devon
County Show for their hospitality and for helping us through our first show. They've
done a wonderful job! Read about it here.

11th August 2007 We have been doing a lot of schooling with our stallion
Dominik. We are still very early in our training but are very pleased with the
progress. We are hoping to increase the workload more once we got our new saddle
next week. See two new galleries of Dominik Under Saddle and Free Jumping.

16th September 2007 Mualim came to stay with us to get used to living in a busy
yard. We had a lesson with a professional stallion handler and rode out with the two
stallions. Capturing them on camera was not an easy job!

21-25th November 2007 We have gone for a long weekend to Devon. We have
visited new Akhal Teke owner in UK Jill Thomas. The new arrivals are colt

his new purebred Akhal Teke mare Mushmula. Dominik has had two lessons, one
with a show jumping instructor and one with Maria's dressage instructor. Well, we
had a few busy days!!!

6 January 2008 We have now moved, although not very far. We are living on the
same farm where horses are kept. The move has gone well and we are enjoying the
new place.

15-17 May 2008 We are coming back to Devon County Show! We will have a breed
display in the Lady Clinton Ring and the information stand by the ring. We are
planning on taking two of our horses (Dominik and our youngster Ayazgul) to the
show this year. We will hopefully have either Mualim or Mushmula with us as well.
We also have an official photographer with us this time. We thoroughly enjoyed last
years show and we are really looking forward to May this year. If you wish to come
join us for a few hours or for all three days, don't hesitate to contact me.

16 March 2008 We are taking Dominik to the Vale of Aylesbury Sponsored ride at
RAF Halton. We think it will be a good experience for him to do some jumping and
to behave with other horses around him. We are looking forward to that and will
update with pictures.
To be rescheduled due to heavy rain. Look out for updates
