Why is the Akhal Teke endangered?

Naked Foal Syndrome is the defect that causes foals to be born without any coat, mane or tail hair. In some cases, the front teeth are in at birth or molars grow. Other symptoms include diarrhoea and other digestive disorders. Due the lack of normal skin protection, skin can turn scaly, dry and inflamed. There skin doesn't have any protection against the sun so the Akhal Teke get severe cases of sunburn in summer and frequent infections during winter. Naked Foal Syndrome is always fatal, most foals die within weeks of birth, although some horses have lived to the age of two. Hereditary cryptorchidism is very common within the Akhal-Teke breed. Meaning that many stallions are unable to breed.
