Akhal-Teke UK Ltd is a Breed Registration Service for the owners of Akhal-Teke horses
outside Russian Federation. Akhal-Teke UK Ltd is incorporated in the UK as a non-profit
company limited by guarantee. We work directly with VNIIK, the All-Russia Institute of
Horse Breeding in Ryazan, Russia, to assist horse owners with the process of General
Studbook registration, DNA testing and blood-typing and pedigree
verification.
Studbook Registration
The following application forms and a full set of instructions on registration process, plus
translation services where required, are now available from Akhal-Teke UK Ltd:
1. Application to register the birth of purebred foal;
2. Application to register the birth of partbred foal;
3. Application to obtain Breeding Stallion license;
4. Notification of the breeding of a mare to a stallion not owned by the mare’s owner;
5. Application for inclusion of breeding mare or stallion in the General Studbook.
Akhal-Teke UK will advise owners on the material which needs to be collected for testing
and how to send it to the ISAG-approved laboratory. The laboratory will send the results
directly to VNIIK where parentage is verified and the internationally-recognised documents
are issued and passed onto Akhal-Teke UK which, in turn, will send them to the owner,
retaining a copy for the National Catalogue (see below). VNIIK will also require
photographs, descriptions of markings etc.
Our Services are open to any owner of Akhal-Teke outside the Russian Federation
