A monument to the famous Akhal-Teke horse named Akhan (White Khan) will be erected in the Akhal velayat (region) of Turkmenistan.

The corresponding resolution, in order to popularize the Akhal-Teke breed of horses, was signed by President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov. The document allows the administration of the Akhal velayat to conclude a contract with the Zvezda Sport private enterprise for the design and construction of a monument with a statue of the Akhal-Teke horse Akhan. The document prescribes to start construction work in May 2022 and complete it in December 2022.

In 2018, Akhan became famous for the fact that, having reared up, he walked 10 meters on his hind hooves in 4.19 seconds. This achievement was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
