The Caspian is an ancient breed of small horse, believed extinct for 1,000 years until rediscovered in the 1960s on the southern shores of the Caspian sea, Northern Iran. Small numbers may still exist in a semi-feral state in the rice paddies, cotton fields, forests and foothills of the Alborz mountains.
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.
