The breeding program that is used in the stables of Tito Pontecorvo in Russia and the U.S. tries to accomplish two tasks. First, it creates offspring that are typical of the Akhalteke breed, that have all the attributes to win in breed shows. Second , it raises large horses with the correct exterior and precise and efficient movements without which you could not have a horse of high sportive class.

Judging by the results of various competitions (breed shows and sportive competitions) held all over the world, in which the horses born and raised in Tito Pontecorvo’s stables participated, we can say that all these horses have a very distinct type and that they have shown themselves to be a highly sportive horse.

All the photos and videos of horses in this web-site are made from horses that were born in Tito Pontecorvo's stables in Russia and USA.

Every year in Moscow, Russia the largest Akhalteke breed show is held, in which the ten best horses (best in type, exterior and bloodline) are picked and from these ten the champion of the world is chosen.
