However, the expense does seem daunting and there is a question of the benefits of sending MAAK money. To MAAK’s benefit, Ms. Abramova has been responding to E-mails and is willing to help us register our horses. However, MAAK is not considered by the rest of the world to be a working institution and is not currently legally considered one either.

Another organization is being formed, the World Akhal-Teke Organization (WATO), to become an effective world organization, and everyone is invited to participate in its development. One of WATO’s purposes is to allow national organizations to register their own horses. The discussion of this registration process is published here.

Depending on what we agree on, we could register our own horses at cost if we establish a registration through the Livestock Pedigree Act. We would establish our own rules and Canadian Akhal-Teke database (and hopefully also be included in the complete pedigree database Todd Keith is developing for WATO).

We would have to establish our own guidelines for registration, standards such as blood analysis or hair DNA for identification, who takes the samples, permissions or not for all types of AI, and a board to make such decisions.

Of course people would still be free to register with other registrars, including VNIIK, the Akhal-Teke Association of America, and the private one through the Akhal-Teke Society of America. We’ll just try to do something a bit cohesive!

Send us your thoughts!!
