  Almaty is a purebred Akhal Teke mare born in 2002 at Van Kasteren stud farm in Belgium (MAAK registration # 102300202). Her sire is El line stallion Sugun and her dam Fakir Pelvan line Atmis 4.  Almaty is a very typical Akhal Teke with narrow chest and hindquarter, a refined and angular head atop a long neck, sparse forelock and mane as well as striking almond shaped eyes.  Almaty is inquisitive and has a strong personality. Almaty was bred to stallion Patrickhan of Magic Valley Akhal Tekes and is due to give birth to her first foal in June 2006.
