yes, it is, it is one of the oldest breeds still alive in the world, and it is older than the Arabian breed, it dates back to 9th centuries B.C., or even from the 4th to the 2nd millennia B.C from images found in the territory between the Caucasus and Luristan areas (Turkmenistan)

I only know for a fact that the Arabian Horse is the oldest breed of horse there is. The Norwegian Fjord is pretty old too as it is closely related to the Prezwaki's Wild Horse. I've never heard of the Selle Francais, but I think the Akhal Teke is older than most.
research says that these horses are much older then the Arabians, which is close to 3,000 years old
That would be the ancient Akhal-Teke horse from Turkmenistan. They have a metallic sheen to their coats and a unique almond shaped eye, they are older than the Arabian breed.
That would most likely be the Akhal-Teke horse from Turkmenistan. They have a metallic sheen to their coats caused by the way the hair shaft is formed. The Akhal-Teke is a bit older than the Arabian, contrary to popular belief that the Arabian is the oldest purebred horse. The Akhal-Teke (also called a Turk, or Turkoman/Turkomen) played a large part in the developement of the English Thoroughbred also.
Akhal-Tekes are one of the more expensive breeds of horse, this is due to their rarity. You can buy an old horse or a very young Teke for around $5,000 or more. A adult in prime condition can go into the tens of thousands.
All horses and breeds are unique, however some breeds stand out from the rest for certain reasons.The Akhal-Teke, is now known to be the worlds oldest breed of horse.
