Caspians shine at Buckham Fair

Big crowds watched Caspian displays at the Fair, organised by the Caspian Horse Society, by kind invitation of Martin Clunes. Such a contrast to the many Clydesdales in other displays and classes. Full report and slideshow to follow – 'watch this space!’  Click here to read the report and see the Gallery

50th anniversary
Caspian Calendar at Buckingham Palace

Farokh Khorooshi, our Chair Ruth Staines and Colin Barker were recently granted an audience with HRH The Duke of Edinbugh at Buckingham Palace. They presented HRH with a copy of the Calendar.

‘Once beloved of Persia’s kings, the Caspian Horse of Iran has an ancient history as unique as himself.  These days the Caspian makes a narrow, responsive and gentle mount for children, especially the competitive child, who will find a naturally talented jumper with easy-to-ride, balanced paces, intelligent and easily trained .  The Caspian also has a natural aptitude for carriage driving of all types, as befits the favoured chariot horse of King Darius.’

A mobile exhibition stand attends  agricultural shows and equine events to reach a wider audience and raise funds through merchandise sales.

The Society maintains registers of pure and part-bred Caspians and is a founder member of the International Caspian Society which compiles the International Stud book.
