 :Not unless a Henneke body condition score of 3 is a breed trait.  The horse might be a champion, the photo is terrible, it could be the lead for hard keeper.   I don't mean to be unkind, but you need a horse in better flesh than that image... the dark stallion would be a better lead image in many respects, other than not having the cream gene.  (But then, the lead in Andalusian horse is a dark bay even though the majority of Andalusians these days are grays...) and frankly, the hysterical hissy fit going on at commons over whose horses are the ""real"" Akhal-Tekes is not giving me a lot of confidence in the lot of you.  Can you give me ANYTHING that approaches a source that will pass the WP:RS criteria and isn't a facebook page or a message board?  Seriously, I'll follow the good source material wherever it leads, but I really don't want to see an internal round of ""Breed politics"" take over this article (and I know breed politics, in any breed it's nasty...)
