Caspian Horse

The Caspian Horse is a rare and ancient Iranian horse breed, believed to have existed since 3000 BCE. It is a small yet agile horse known for its speed, intelligence, and elegant structure. Native to the Caspian region of Iran, these horses were historically used by Persian nobility and warriors. Despite their small size, Caspian Horses possess remarkable endurance and strength, making them ideal for both riding and light work. Their sleek coat, refined head, and arched neck give them a distinctive and graceful appearance. This breed was thought to be extinct until rediscovered in the 1960s in northern Iran. Today, conservation efforts are in place to protect and preserve these horses. They continue to play an essential role in Iran’s equestrian history and cultural heritage. As part of Iran wildlife, the Caspian Horse represents a living connection to Persia’s ancient past.
