Heading to the venue of the upcoming festivities, Chairman of the Khalk Maslakhaty listened to the report of Vice President of the International Association of Akhal-Teke Horse Breeding B. Redzhepov, who spoke about the activities of the Association's subdivisions and preparations for the National Day of the Turkmen Horse.

The Vice President noted that this year there was a large number of offspring, which led to an increase in the number of Akhalteke racehorses.
