Respected President Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the festive celebrations

Today, the National Holiday of the Turkmen Horse is widely celebrated in the country, on the occasion of which the main events took place at the International Akhalteke Equestrian Complex with the participation of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

In the era of the Revival of a new epoch of a powerful state, the thousand-year-old customs of our people and the ancient traditions of horse breeding are enriched. Invaluable merit in preserving and enhancing the world glory of the Akhalteke belongs to the National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and this activity continues worthily under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

Evidence of this is the names given to the newborn foals: Shahyr – Hero-Arkadag and Ylham – Arkadagly Hero Serdar, taking into account the fact that this year, held under the motto “The Fount of the Wisdom of Magtymguly Fragi”, the 300th anniversary of the great poet and thinker of the East Magtymguly Fragi.

Today, caring for Akhalteke horses, its popularization, and enriching the traditions of horse breeding have reached a new level. One of the clear proofs of this is the opening of the International Academy of Horse Breeding named after Aba Annaev in the new city of Arkadag.

Created on the initiative of the Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty and established in accordance with the relevant Resolution of the President of Turkmenistan, the higher educational institution will train highly qualified specialists in the field of horse breeding. The structure of the university has created faculties of horse breeding, equine veterinary medicine, equestrian sports, tourism and national equestrian games, and agricultural economics. The Academy is equipped with advanced apparatus, special teaching aids and innovative technologies for conducting lectures and practical classes, seminars, as well as research work.

In addition, a Research and Production Center for Horse Breeding was built in Arkadag city, the equipment of which meets international standards.

Among those present at the International Akhalteke Equestrian Complex are members of the Government, the Chairman of the Mejlis, heads of military and law enforcement agencies, ministries and departments, the chairman of the State Committee for the Construction of Arkadag City under the President of Turkmenistan, the khyakims of Ashgabat and Arkadag cities, heads and employees of diplomatic missions accredited to Turkmenistan and international organizations, as well as representatives of the media.

Everyone greets President Serdar Berdimuhamedov with great enthusiasm.

The guest of honor of the holiday was Rustam Minnikhanov, Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation, who specially visited our country these days.

Welcoming those gathered and exchanging warm congratulations, the head of state and the guest of honor enter the territory of the complex, which for a time turned into a city of craftsmen and needlewomen. The atmosphere of the holiday was enhanced by performances by folklore groups and an exhibition of decorative and applied arts.

The “ak öý” yurts installed here, representing the capital, Arkadag city and the velayats of the country, with integral attributes, recreate the way of life of an ancient Turkmen village. Women weave carpets, embroider, felt felt mats to the accompaniment of ancient tunes. The workshop of a zerger is staged, creating unique jewelry in front of the audience.

Museum exhibits and works of contemporary artists are also displayed here. Images of beautiful horses are captured in carpets, original sculptural compositions, engravings, photographs, and magnificent jewelry sets for the ceremonial vestments of horses testify to the great love for them.

The bright color inherent in a real Turkmen “toi” was brought by the virtuoso playing of the dutar by bakhshi musicians, as well as the competition of palvans.

The head of state, Serdar Berdimuhamedov, together with the guest of honor, watched the palvans demonstrating unique Goresh wrestling techniques, their strength and agility.

In front of the main building of the International Akhalteke Equestrian Complex, masters of the country’s arts met the participants of the celebration with a festive musical dedication.

Before a horse will delight everyone with its beauty, stature, and agility, you need to invest a lot of effort and painstaking work, knowledge, talent and love into it. The ancestors of the Turkmens worked hard in this direction, and the Akhalteke breed is a clear confirmation of this. Our people are able to enthusiastically celebrate their successes and achievements.

As is known, Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov devoted many scientific and literary works to “heavenly” horses, in which a huge layer of folk wisdom can be traced. Translated into different languages, these works became the property of the world community, playing a significant role in the rapid growth of interest in the Akhalteke horse breed.

And today, in honor of the people’s favorite, the country is once again organizing a large, colorful toy, an integral attribute of which has long been horse racing.

...President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and a guest from the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation go to places specially designated for them.

Being a true connoisseur, expert and popularizer of the legendary breed of “Nisei” horses, the head of state, through his active participation and full support, makes a huge contribution to the development of the national equestrian industry. A striking example of this is the presentation on the eve of the National Day of the Turkmen Horse to the teaching staff of the International Academy of Horse Breeding named after Aba Annaev, scientists of the Scientific and Production Center for Horse Breeding, as well as horse breeders of Arkadag city, the keys to new apartments in modern residential buildings built in the “smart” city.

The host announces the start of the festive races – the most prestigious competitions of the season.

It should be noted that, having created such a work of the highest art of folk breeders and seis as the Akhalteke horse, preserving the purebred of these priceless horses, domestic horse breeders do not cease to nurture their best qualities.

The main difference of the national school for training sports horses is that the Turkmens do not train them, but rather educate them. Experienced horse breeders note that the strong character and indomitability of the horse indicate that only if the foal is properly raised does it become a kind and devoted friend to man.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov set tasks for specialists to expand the scientific base in breeding work using modern methods, to intensify the development of various types of equestrian sports in the country, and to strengthen international cooperation in this area.

From century to century, from generation to generation, horse breeding traditions have been passed on, and today the glorious relay of reverent attitude towards the living heritage of the nation, which determined its historical destiny, continues.

As before, horse racing is extremely popular in Turkmenistan. The competition, which was watched with delight by spectators in the stands, lasted more than two hours. They demonstrated agility and became “heavenly” horses – the glory and pride of the Turkmen people.

Horse racing is also a test for jockeys. An equestrian sport requires courage, resourcefulness, perseverance and, of course, love for horses and the ability to understand them.

Today, seven races took place at various distances, in which dozens of horses took part, demonstrating their best qualities.

In the first race of 1,200 meters, horses competed for the prize of the financial and economic complex.

The best horse was Yologly from the Akhalteke Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan. Rider – M.Kichigulov.

In the second race of 1,200 meters for the prize of the oil and gas complex, Garayol horse of the State Association of the Food Industry of Turkmenistan took the lead. Rider – K.Polaev.

In the fourth race of 1,600 meters for the prize of the transport and communication complex, the winner was Menzil horse of the State Border Service of Turkmenistan. Rider – H.Nazkulyev.

In the fifth race of 1,600 meters, where the prize of the construction and industrial complex was played, the Shagirt II horse of the Akhalteke Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan was the first to finish. Rider – S.Charyev.

In the sixth race of 1,800 meters for the prize of the agro-industrial complex, the leader was Begzada horse of the Akhalteke Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan. Rider – Sh.Myradov, 1st year student at the International Academy of Horse Breeding named after Aba Annaev.

An intense struggle for the main prize of the President of Turkmenistan and the Challenge Cup took place in the final, seventh race. The first to overcome the distance of 1,800 meters was the horse Bezirgen, belonging to the Akhalteke Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan. Rider – B.Agamyradov.

Musical performances were organized between races. There were melodies and songs of bakhshies, which sang the glorious past and the grandiose transformations of our time.

As always, the current races have become a truly fascinating spectacle. The competitive spirit, passion and, of course, the agility and beauty of Akhalteke horses invariably give such competitions an emotional edge.

Then a ceremony took place on behalf of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to present valuable prizes to the winners of the holiday races, as well as the marathon and show jumping competitions held this week.

In the long-distance marathon, not only speed qualities, but also athletic endurance with the best result were demonstrated by Meshkhur horse, belonging to the Akhalteke Equestrian Complex of the President of Turkmenistan, the rider – O.Annaev, a 1st year student at the International Academy of Horse Breeding named after Aba Annaev.

Akhalteke horses have become famous in the history of world horse breeding for their participation in long treks, demonstrating amazing endurance. Many of their records could not be repeated today.

The first place in the show jumping competition was taken by Toychy horse, belonging to the Equestrian Federation of Turkmenistan, with jockey Y.Garajaev, a 1st year student at the International Academy of Horse Breeding named after Aba Annaev.

After the award ceremony for the winners of the marathon and show jumping competitions, valuable gifts, large cash prizes and diplomas awarded at the current races took place. In addition, the leader of the final race was awarded a large cash prize and the Challenge Cup of the President of Turkmenistan.

Receiving well-deserved awards and expressing sincere gratitude to the President of the country for his concern for the development of national horse breeding and equestrian sports, the jockeys assured that they would make every effort to preserve the illustrious traditions of horse breeding and further popularize the Akhalteke breed.

At the end of the award ceremony, a festive atmosphere still reigned at the site of the complex, music sounded, creative groups performed for the Turkmen citizens and guests of the country who had gathered here on the occasion of the National Holiday of the Turkmen Horse.

С незапамятных времён мир восхищается непревзойдённой красотой и изяществом, быстротой и выносливостью ахалтекинских скакунов. Прославленные «райские» кони – не только предмет особой национальной гордости туркменского народа, но и его бесценный вклад в сокровищницу общечеловеческих ценностей.

Закономерно, что в современную эпоху именно конь стал главным символом нашей Отчизны, живым воплощением неразрывной связи времён и поколений, олицетворением той созидательной энергии, с которой независимый нейтральный Туркменистан вступил в эру Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства.

В эти дни страна чествует лучших коневодов и сейисов, всех, кто занимается выращиванием и тренировкой чистокровных ахалтекинских скакунов, продолжая выпестованную в течение тысячелетий породу, передаваемую как национальное достояние из поколения в поколение. В современную эпоху эти уникальные традиции выходят на новый этап развития, модернизируется материально-техническая основа отрасли. Интеграция же туркменского коневодства в международную отраслевую индустрию служит не только расширению племенной базы высокоценного поголовья, но и значимым шагом в утверждении Туркменистана на лидирующих позициях в мировом коннозаводстве.

При этом важнейшими направлениями дальнейшего развития национальной коневодческой школы главой государства определены научно-исследовательская деятельность и селекционная работа, освоение лучшего зарубежного опыта и новых технологий в этом деле, объединение усилий отечественных и зарубежных специалистов и, конечно, спортивная составляющая. Всё это нацелено на то, чтобы новые поколения ахалтекинцев приумножали их славу, а также гордость туркменского народа.

… Ранним утром в нарядном убранстве встретила гостей и участников праздника Международная академия коневодства имени Аба Аннаева, ставшая сегодня местом проведения ежегодных конкурсов в честь «райских» коней, олицетворяющих собой эталон красоты и гармонии.

Повсюду царит атмосфера большого туркменского тоя, звучат музыка и песни, своё мастерство демонстрируют лучшие творческие коллективы страны.

У главного входа в комплекс главу государства встречают заместители Председателя Кабинета Министров, руководители и представители Меджлиса, министерств и ведомств, военных и правоохранительных органов страны, администрации города Аркадаг. В числе участников мероприятия – главы аккредитованных в Туркменистане дипмиссий и международных организаций.

Здесь также собрались знатные коневоды, добившиеся замечательных успехов в избранном на всю жизнь деле, настоящие профессионалы других сфер, так или иначе связанных с удивительным миром коней.

Автомобиль главы государства Сердара Бердымухамедова подъезжает к Международной академии коневодства имени Аба Аннаева.

Торжественность события подчеркнула музыкально-хореографическая композиция с участием мастеров искусств страны. Под песню, передающую бесконечную любовь туркменского народа к своим скакунам, восхищение ими, был исполнен зажигательный танец. Звучат поздравления с национальным праздником.

Поблагодарив артистов за воодушевлённое выступление, Аркадаглы Герой Сердар проходит к закрытому манежу, на арене которого состоялось конноспортивное представление в исполнении студентов Международной академии коневодства имени Аба Аннаева, восхитивших всех смелостью и чудесами ловкости, отточенным владением сложных приёмов вольтижировки. Захватывающее шоу с участием юных джигитов заворожило зрителей стремительностью, несравненной красотой и природной грацией чистокровных ахалтекинских коней, являющихся подлинным живым шедевром народной селекции и символом нашей страны.

Успешное выступление – результат усердных каждодневных тренировок студентов с этими великолепными и умными созданиями. Точёная стать, летящий бег, словно спустившихся с небес коней, сияющих атласным блеском мастей, продемонстрировавших отличную выучку, слаженность безупречных движений под управлением наездников, неизменно вызывают массу эмоций у зрителей.

По завершении зрелищного представления Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов проходит к открытому манежу и садится на специально отведённое место.

Ведущий от имени всего туркменского народа произносит слова глубокой признательности Президенту Туркменистана и Герою-Аркадагу Гурбангулы Бердымухамедову за многогранный труд во имя духовного расцвета Отечества, деятельность по дальнейшему распространению в мире славы ахалтекинских скакунов. Звучат поздравления с широко отмечаемым в нашей стране Национальным праздником туркменского скакуна, пожелания новых успехов и достижений.

Вопросы возрождения и сохранения богатейшего культурного наследия туркменского народа, его древних традиций и обычаев, связанных с искусством коневодства, постоянно находятся в поле зрения главы государства.

Глубоким уважением и почётом окружены в нашей стране люди, посвятившие свою жизнь ахалтекинским скакунам. Один из них – Аба Аннаев, известный и как опытный сейис, и как талантливый коневод-селекционер. Неоценимы заслуги Аба Аннаева, внёсшего весомый вклад в развитие туркменского коневодческого искусства, передачу из поколения в поколение его исконных традиций, в деле сохранения и совершенствования легендарной ахалтекинской породы, страстным защитником чистоты которой он всегда был.

Наши мужественные предки во все времена уделяли особое внимание совершенствованию селекции коней, отличающихся удивительной чуткостью, сродни человеческой, и преданностью хозяину. Взрастив и выпестовав резвых скакунов, обгоняющих ветер в стремительном беге, они передали это бесценное достояние последующим поколениям. Ныне туркменские коневоды достойно продолжают эту работу.

Огромная заслуга в этом благородном деле принадлежит Национальному Лидеру туркменского народа, Председателю Халк Маслахаты Гурбангулы Бердымухамедову.

Целенаправленная подвижническая деятельность Героя-Аркадага – подлинного знатока и популяризатора ахалтекинских скакунов, автора замечательных книг о них, опытного мастера верховой езды – способствует возрождению, сохранению и развитию искусства разведения чистокровных «райских» коней, формированию современной профильной инфраструктуры, популяризации национальных конных игр и конных видов спорта.

Перу Героя-Аркадага принадлежат замечательные книги о «небесных» скакунах, написанные на основе тщательного научного анализа, обобщения обширного исторического материала и современных данных. Переведённые на разные языки мира, эти произведения, пользующиеся широкой популярностью у туркменистанцев, стали доступны и для зарубежных читателей, специалистов и учёных, проявляющих неподдельный интерес к легендарным ахалтекинцам.

Продолжая начинания Героя-Аркадага, всем сердцем впитав народную любовь к скакунам, Аркадаглы Герой Сердар выводит отечественное коневодство на новую высоту, принимает беспрецедентные меры по развитию её инфраструктуры, активизации международного сотрудничества в этой области, популяризации конных видов спорта и национальных традиций верховой езды.

Большое значение придаётся образовательному аспекту, подготовке высококвалифицированных молодых специалистов, дальнейшему совершенствованию отраслевой науки. Важным шагом в данном направлении стало открытие в прошлом году Международной академии коневодства имени Аба Аннаева, построенной в городе Аркадаг, где также возведён Научно-производственный центр коневодства.

По достоинству оценивается благородный труд отечественных и зарубежных коневодов по разведению ахалтекинцев. Им присваиваются почётные звания «Türkmenistanyň at gazanan atşynasy», «Türkmenistanyň ussat halypa çapyksuwary», «Türkmenistanyň halk atşynasy» и «Türkmenistanyň ussat halypa seýsi».

… Президента Туркменистана приглашают пройти к смотровой площадке, чтобы принять в дар ахалтекинских скакунов в качестве выражения безмерной признательности за заботу о развитии коневодческой отрасли.

На площадке главу государства встречают хякимы пяти велаятов страны, туркменской столицы и города Аркадаг. По очереди выводят скакунов старейшина, подросток и руководитель каждого региона Туркменистана, приветствуя Аркадаглы Героя Сердара, вручают ему паспорт коня.

В честь Национального праздника туркменского скакуна от имени жителей Ахалского велаята был передан в дар прекрасный конь Маркав, от Балканского велаята – скакун Умман, от Дашогузского велаята – скакун Керемли, от Лебапского велаята – скакун Пяхимли, от Марыйского велаята – скакун Сарпалы, от города Ашхабад – скакун Пайхаслы.

По случаю знаменательного события представители молодого поколения страны от каждого велаята и города Ашхабад восторженными стихами выражали слова глубокой признательности главе государства.

От имени военных и правоохранительных органов Президенту Сердару Бердымухамедову подарили скакуна по имени Эдермен.

Жители города Аркадаг и коневоды посёлка имени Аба Аннаева этрапа Кяризек нового города преподнесли в дар главе государства жеребёнка и обратились с просьбой дать ему имя. Представитель подрастающего поколения в стихотворных строках восторженно выразил свою радость и искреннюю признательность Президенту страны.

На демонстрационную площадку выводят великолепного жеребёнка, родившегося в 2024 году, потомка Карара и Гулгетир, принадлежащего к линии прославленного коня Йелин. Как сказал Аркадаглы Герой Сердар, пусть жеребёнок, рождённый в году, девиз которого «Кладезь разума Махтумкули Фраги», будет назван именем Ылхам.

Следуя доброй традиции, Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов повязал на шею жеребёнка аладжу, сплетённую его матерью Огулгерек эдже, как символ-оберег и знак достойного продолжения в эру Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства идущих из глубины веков национальных обычаев.

Президент Туркменистана выразил признательность принимающим участие в торжествах старейшинам велаятов, всем коневодам, вносящим огромный вклад в продолжение славной истории «небесных» коней.

Затем здесь состоялся заключительный тур Международного конкурса «Ýylyň iň owadan ahalteke bedewi».

По единодушному мнению участников и специалистов, этот конкурс, нацеленный на стимулирование развития коневодческих традиций туркменского народа, приумножение мировой славы коней ахалтекинской породы, придаёт особый импульс совершенствованию методик выращивания образцовых во всех отношениях скакунов.

В ходе прошедших отборочных туров в финал конкурса вышло десять коней, воплощающих лучшие характеристики породы, безупречный экстерьер, а также отличную выучку, и признанных по этим критериям авторитетной комиссией наиболее достойными претендентами на победу и звание самого красивого скакуна года.

На смотровую площадку выводят великолепных коней, элитных представителей прославленной породы, ведущих свою родословную от именитых предков, основавших лучшие племенные линии ахалтекинцев.

Ведущий поимённо представляет каждого скакуна и кратко знакомит с их родословной. Это гнедые Горнукли, Гылыклы, Эдермен и Пайхас, буланые Гадымы, Гозбаш, Ватанчы, Мелегуш, тёмно-буланый Гасгын, соловая Мелегуш.

Все финалисты продолжают ту или иную племенную линию, восходящую к знаменитым предкам, и многочисленные поклонники «небесных» скакунов могли оценить изумительную, точёную стать потомков прославленных коней, заложивших основные ветви в селекционном разведении чистокровных ахалтекинцев.

Во всей своей природной стати перед зрителями проходят чистокровные скакуны, отобранные по результатам нескольких этапов. Характерный шёлковый отлив масти наших скакунов, их нарядный и утончённый облик, лёгкий, стремительный бег, словно полёт птицы, а также неиссякаемая мощь и энергия являются результатом кропотливого труда мастеров, достигших больших высот в своём деле, неутомимых сейисов, трудолюбивых коневодов.

Время подтвердило, что слава ахалтекинских коней никогда не померкнет, а будет всё более возвышаться, покоряя время и сердца всех, кто хоть однажды увидел их.

Сначала скакуны предстали перед публикой без парадного убранства, а затем в великолепном уборе из традиционных национальных конских украшений, изготовленных лучшими мастерами-ювелирами. Выводка сопровождалась дикторским текстом со сведениями о конях-участниках конкурса красоты, рассказом о национальных традициях, связанных со скакунами, их характере и необыкновенных качествах. Звучали также возвышенные поэтические строки, посвящённые «небесным» коням.

Затем были объявлены имена победителей творческого конкурса на художественное воплощение уникального природного очарования и красоты коней в искусстве.

Лучшие работы были выбраны в соответствии с номинациями – самый искусный ковёр, ювелирное произведение, лучшее живописное и скульптурное изображение коня, а также издательские продукты, фотоснимки и телесюжеты. Главная идея этого конкурса – показать роль красивого и умного существа в жизни туркменского народа.

Бесподобный облик, характер, интеллект и уникальные таланты ахалтекинца вдохновили авторов на создание разных образов, наполненных поэзией и светлой энергетикой.

Призы от имени Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова были вручены следующим победителям: студентке 2 курса кафедры реставрационных работ Туркменского государственного института культуры Г.Бекбаевой – за ковровое полотно «Türkmen bedew aty Toýly»; студенту 6 курса кафедры декоративно-прикладного искусства Государственной академии художеств Туркменистана А.Аннаеву – за ансамбль конских украшений «Milli mirasymyz»; преподавателю кафедры «Дизайн» Государственной академии художеств Туркменистана А.Атаханову – за картину «Toýly gün»; студенту 5 курса кафедры «Скульптура» Государственной академии художеств Туркменистана К.Солтанову – за скульптурную композицию «At gazanan goç ýigidiň, owal bedew aty gerek»; студенту 3 курса кафедры декоративно-прикладного искусства Государственной академии художеств Туркменистана Н.Ёламанову – за фотоработы под названием «Behişdi bedewler»; студенту 5 курса Туркменского государственного института культуры факультета «Театральное искусство» по специальности телеоператор В.Мышшыеву – за видеоролик «Şöhraty dünýä dolan bedew».

Победители конкурса, выразив Президенту Туркменистана искреннюю признательность за столь высокую оценку их творческих работ, заверили главу государства в том, что не будут жалеть усилий и способностей во имя приумножения всемирной славы наших «райских» скакунов, и в дальнейшем будут их широко популяризировать, воплощая в своём труде.

Затем было объявлено решение авторитетной судейской коллегии Международного конкурса «Ýylyň iň owadan ahalteke bedewi».

Самым красивым ахалтекинским скакуном 2024 года был признан великолепный конь Гадымы, родившийся в 2017 году, потомок Гадымгала и Дурли, принадлежащий к линии прославленного коня по имени Факирпальван.

Победителю Международного конкурса был вручён главный приз от имени Президента Сердара Бердымухамедова – ключи от автомобиля марки «Toyota Highlander», переходящий Кубок и диплом.

Сейис коня выразил глубокую признательность главе государства за ценную награду и огромное внимание, уделяемое разведению «райских» скакунов, что быстрее ветра. Он заверил, что и в дальнейшем туркменские коневоды будут достойно продолжать работу предков в этом направлении, пожелав главе государства и Герою-Аркадагу крепкого здоровья и огромных успехов в их деятельности.

Завершающей частью торжеств стали спортивные выступления студентов Международной академии коневодства имени Аба Аннаева. В ходе показательных выступлений было продемонстрировано виртуозное выполнение упражнений в различных дисциплинах.

Здесь глава государства поздравил всех коневодов страны с Национальным праздником туркменского скакуна, который отмечается в честь «райских» коней, на протяжении веков выпестованных нашими предками и являющимися общечеловеческой ценностью.

Как отметил Аркадаглы Герой Сердар, строительство во всех уголках страны суперсовременных конноспортивных комплексов и научных центров, соответствующих мировым стандартам в эру Возрождения новой эпохи могущественного государства создает широкие возможности для эффективной деятельности отечественных коневодов на современном уровне.

Президент Туркменистана сообщил, что по случаю праздника, подаренные ему великолепные скакуны передаются в дар профессорско-преподавательскому составу и студентам Международной академии коневодства имени Аба Аннаева. Обратившись к собравшимся со словами «At arkasy gutly bolsun!», глава государства пожелал всем успехов в работе по сохранению славы ахалтекинских коней, являющихся гордостью туркменского народа.

Ректор профильного вуза П.Байрамдурдыев выразил сердечную признательность Аркадаглы Герою Сердару за переданных в качестве подарка ахалтекинцев, заверив, что приложит все усилия для выполнения задач, поставленных перед Академией, созданной благодаря Герою-Аркадагу, по совершенствованию на научной основе национальных методов сейисования и принципов коневодства.

Затем Президент Сердар Бердымухамедов, по случаю широко отмечаемого в нашей стране Национального праздника туркменского скакуна, вручил профессорско-преподавательскому составу Международной академии коневодства имени Аба Аннаева, учёным Научно-производственного центра коневодства, а также коневодам города Аркадаг ключи от новых квартир в современных жилых домах, возведённых в новом городе и рассчитанных на 120 семей. Глава государства поздравил коневодов с новыми квартирами, адресовав добрые пожелания.

Вице-президент Международной ассоциации ахалтекинского коневодства Б.Реджепов с большим почтением приняв ключи от новостроек, выразил Президенту Туркменистана сердечную признательность от новосёлов.

Праздничную атмосферу приумножили выступления популярных исполнителей.

Ежегодно в апреле в нашей стране по традиции проводятся мероприятия, приуроченные к Национальному празднику туркменского скакуна. «Райские» кони, родиной которых является благодатная туркменская земля, по праву признаны феноменом мирового коневодства. «Крылатые» скакуны – бесценное достояние и гордость нашего талантливого народа, неотъемлемая составляющая национального и общечеловеческого культурного наследия.
