Caspian horse horses for sale in West Midlands

The Caspian horse, also known as the "ancient Caspian pony," originates from the region near the Caspian Sea in northern Iran. This rare and ancient breed is distinguished by its small size, standing typically between 9 to 12 hands high, and its refined, elegant build with slender legs and large, expressive eyes. Despite its size, the Caspian horse is classified as a true horse rather than a pony. Known for its gentle and intelligent temperament, the breed is highly trainable and forms strong bonds with its handlers. The Caspian horse's smooth, ground-covering gaits and hardy constitution make it suitable for a variety of activities, including children's mounts, driving, and light sport disciplines. Their versatility and friendly nature have earned them the nickname "little horse with a big heart." As one of the oldest horse breeds, the Caspian plays an important role in equine heritage preservation, especially in the United Kingdom where conservation efforts help maintain this unique breed. Their adaptability to different climates and robust health make them well-suited for both experienced equestrians and families looking for a dependable companion horse.
