CCh. Mongol

Bred with precision at Green Gate Farm, Mongol’s pedigree is a tapestry woven from some of the breed’s most influential bloodlines. His sire, Ruslan, is a direct descendant of the legendary Gigant — a stallion celebrated for bequeathing unparalleled stamina, soundness, and an indomitable work ethic. Gigant’s legacy is one of resilience, shaping the modern Akhal-Teke into a horse capable of conquering long-distance endurance with grace and power.

On the dam side, Mongol descends from Motanka, whose lineage traces back to the elegant and astute Aksona. Aksona’s line embodies the quintessential Akhal-Teke virtues: refined conformation, mental acuity, and a deep-seated adaptability honed by centuries of survival in harsh environments. Further enriching this pedigree are foundations such as Dykhan and Tuvana, whose influence lends strength, balance, and the hallmark elegance of the breed.

Mongol’s heritage is not merely a record of names, but a legacy alive in his physical prowess and mental grit. His career in endurance riding speaks to this lineage — he is a master of the long haul, excelling in 75-mile and multi-day competitions where tenacity and strategy outweigh mere speed. His championship victories at the Wayfinder Series and the North America Guild, coupled with multiple “Best Conditioned” awards, testify to his ability to finish not just fast, but strong and sound.

Temperamentally, Mongol is the embodiment of balance. In the stable, he is composed and thoughtful, reflecting the quiet confidence of a horse who knows his purpose. On the trail, his focus sharpens; his spirit ignites with an eager intensity that inspires those fortunate enough to ride him. He demands respect, but rewards it with unwavering partnership and a heart that carries riders beyond what they imagined possible.

As a sire, Mongol is already shaping the future of the Akhal-Teke at Green Gate Farm. His progeny inherit not only his striking palomino coat but also his legendary endurance and refined temperament. Through them, his legacy grows — a lineage that honors tradition while pushing the boundaries of what this ancient breed can achieve.
