Welcome
To the Caspian Horse Society Website

The Caspian Horse Society (CHS) is a UK registered charity with origins in 1975 to promote and preserve the Caspian breed. Newsletters and magazines keep members in touch with policy and news, and link breeders and supporters throughout the world.

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

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

“The Australian Flood Appeal is now closed, having raised a grand total of £834.05 to help Australian Caspian breeders affected by the floods to feed their stock .  Our grateful thanks go to all those generous members from the many Caspian societies and to friends of the Caspian who gave money for this worthwhile cause.  The money has now been divided and sent to the two breeders affected by the floods.

 

The JustGiving site (via John Sansome) is now hosting an Appeal towards the CHS Gene Bank.  More details on the News page.”

Profile of Jane Holderness-Roddam LVO CBE - President of the Caspian Horse Society

Jane Holderness-Roddam achieved sporting fame in 1968 by winning Badminton on her horse Our Nobby, which was followed by her selection for the Olympics in Mexico the same year. There she became the first British woman to compete in the Olympic three-day event and won a team gold medal. She has since ridden, judged, instructed and competed in many countries around the world, and made a major contribution to equestrian sport and to the promotion of related education and training- including that concerned with the welfare of horses and ponies. She has written many books and articles; assisted in the making of films; and lectured at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. She is a British Eventing Steward and an accredited trainer.
Jane and her husband Tim run West Kington Stud farm, which specialises in horse breeding and the production of semen from top stallions for freezing. West Kington is also home to a Caspian brood mare Runnymede Topaz (by kind permission of Dr Rosemary Harris).
