To explain the lines, one must know a little history.

In 1927 (about 30 years after Turkmenistan was captured by Russia, and most horses confiscated to cripple the country and keep the Turkmen under control)  an expedition was made by Professor Gorelov to  make inventory of the horses in Turkmenistan.

There were no written records, all horses presented were given a verbal report on parentage.

Together with Professor W.O. Witt and the Union-Research-Institute of Horse breeding in Rjasan ( Viniik still today manages the closed Akhal-Teke studbook).

At this time horses were entered into the studbook, and lines were documented.

Only the sire lines were documented as they did not have the time nor resources to do the female lines.

The lines came from the different villages. Only the lines that were most recognizable as a group were used in the registry.

The Line Boinou was the most recognizable.

Form the line Boinou, sub lines were created from outstanding stallions. They were recognized, and honored their own line.
