The Head should be long and narrow, with most of the length being from the eyes to the muzzle. Ears are long, slim, and set forward. Eyes often are “hooded” and “oriental” in appearance. The Akhal-Teke has a refined throatlatch, flexible poll, and long, slim neck, set high out of the shoulder.
The back is long, but strong, with a level top-line. Withers are prominent and attached to a well-set-in shoulder. Shoulders should be nicely sloped and extremely free-moving. The hip angle is wide and gives the appearance of strength. Tail set is low. When viewed from the front, the chest is narrow, although the heart girth is deep.
Any color is acceptable, as is any combination of white markings. The characteristic “metallic gleam” is a desirable feature. Some colors include bay, black, chestnut, buckskin, cremello, pearlino, and grey.
