For those who have heard, that but an insignificant number of horses of foreign blood have been crossed into the early Akhal Teke genepool, these lists may prove eye-opening. They put a distinctly different light on quite a few of the usual comments made regarding the infusions.

List of Non-Turkoman Horses Crossed into the Early Akhal Teke Genepool

List of Turkoman Horses Crossed into the Early Akhal Teke Genepool

There were 32 English Thoroughbreds, 3 warmbloods, 1 Afghan and 2 Yamouds used on a group of only 755 horses, or to be more precise, there were 35 sires of foreign blood used on barely 468 pure mares. Quite many of these mares never ever had a purebred foal. With regard to the discussion about former landrace breeding, it is interesting to note that the one Yamoud stallion was allowed to sire but one foal, whereas e.g. the English Thoroughbred Blondelli sired only 7 foals less than 2a Boinou!
