Check in at the world's largest Akhal-Teke horse base and enjoy nearly a hundred Akhal-Teke horses at once

Check in at the world's largest Akhal-Teke horse base, where you can not only feast your eyes on nearly a hundred Akhal-Teke horses at once but also have the privilege to witness a spectacular equestrian performance! Truly one of the oldest horse breeds in the world, their coats are as delicate as satin, and their manes fly as they run, exuding a handsome and spirited aura. In the arena, the riders and horses work in perfect harmony; when leaping, their hooves seem to step on flowing clouds, and their manes trace graceful arcs in the air. As they gallop, they streak across the field like lightning, their hoofbeats dense like war drums; during sharp turns, the horses almost touch the ground, their tails whipping out strong arcs, as if sparking invisible flames with the earth. The riders remain steady as a rock, and with a slight tug of the reins, they achieve a silent understanding with their horses. Power and elegance collide in every movement, the rhythm of hooves striking the ground blending with the audience’s gasps, stirring excitement and passion in everyone! 🐴

When leaving, I turned into the base’s art gallery and unexpectedly encountered another “feast of horses.” On the wall hung an oil painting of the chestnut horse from the earlier performance. The artist used thick layers of oil paint to build the horse’s glossy coat, with streaks of vibrant orange and yellow hidden in the flying mane, as if locking the sunlight from the arena onto the canvas. Next to it, a more lively ink painting captured the moment of the rider and horse leaping with just a few strokes. The varying ink tones revealed the tension in the horse’s muscles, and the rider’s clothing corners were brushed with a flying white technique, as if you could hear the wind rustling through the fabric. The most wonderful piece was a collage in the corner, combining historical images of the Akhal-Teke, photos from the live performance, and the base’s ancient ecological scenery. The horse’s eyes in the painting matched exactly those of the magnificent steed in the stable outside the window—proving that art is never born from mere imagination but is made by distilling these vivid moments into a tangible eternity.
