Sometime back in the 1960's, a man named Louise Firouz, an
American traveler, discovered the small breed of horses. They are famous
creatures that are similar to an Arab breed in size. Researchers have reason to
believe that this particular horse may be the oldest living breed aside
from the Przewalski's breed. There are endless artifacts dating back to the
time of Darius the Great, even ones including photos that suggest he may have
been traveling with the Caspian breed. They are found all around the Caspian
Sea, in Iran, Tehran, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Amol. These breeds are so
easily recognized in the artifacts left behind due to their head that many
experts can easily spot them and detect that they are in fact, Caspian
ones.
