Literally, "White Beard;" "Wise One."
Grey, foaled 1930;
Ak Sakal was of the old line of Chopar Kel and stood 152 cm (15 hands). He was of the Alaman-At type. He participated in the famous Ashkabad-Moscow ride in 1934, and he is the only "line stallion" who does not (as far as we know) trace back to Boinou/Kutli-Sakar in any line. (However, the same cannot be said of most of his offspring or, indeed, any of his grand-get.) Shortly after his birth, his sire the Grey Kurt Bai was sold to Iran.
Of Ak-Sakal's lineage we know very little, even though he was born relatively late in the history of the stud. He is believed to have been purebred, but we know the names of only his tail-male line (back to Chopar Kel) and his dam, Ilyas.
Ak-Sakal's line was established when the grey stallion Kara-Kir was bred; he was inbred to his sire 1 x 2, and most present day Ak-Sakal line horses trace back to him. Kara-Kir was a good racehorse over short distances, setting a record for 1200 meters (about 6 furlongs) which stood for many years. However, modern Akhal-Tekes of his line do not necessarily resemble either horse. Ak-Sakal line horses are noted for their exotic look and delicate, smooth gaits. The horse at right, Akhal-Teke stallion *Mamuk, is representative of the Ak Sakal line. He is standing at Tito Pontecorvo's studfarm outside San Antonio, Texas.
I am still searching for a photo of Ak Sakal.
