Louis Firouz was quick to utilize all of the exceptional talents of the distinguished Caspian. The first horses she discovered and purchased quickly adapted to all of the demands of a successful riding club. From racing and jumping to gymkhanas, hunting and harness. Mrs. Firouz found there was nothing that a Caspian not do well and sensibly. Her first find proved to be more than she hoped, and her interest was fueled by the discovery of how quickly, these horses adapted to riding, training and any other type of equine demands.

Mrs. Firouz discovered the Caspians to be intelligent and spirited animals of willing and enormous character, easily controlled by small riders and without a hint of mean behavior. For example, a young stallion rescued from the burden of a farmer's cart easily adapted to riding school needs.

Caspian stallions ran together at pasture without meanness or unruliness, and were successfully ridden by 5 year-old children. Caspians are very spirited, sociable creatures which make fast friends with their owners. They prefer and seek the company of other Caspians, when available, over that of other breeds.

The Caspian, after thirteen hundred years returned to the wild, has developed great qualities of endurance and is extremely hardy and tough with dense bone and small, tough feet which are never shod. Because of its narrow build, the Caspian is the perfect first mount for a child.

Without clumsiness and heaviness of the pony, the Caspian, a true horse, can provide all of the precise control and opportunity for a child that only an experienced adult on a large horse enjoys. It’s calm, willing temperament gives young riders confidence. The elegant appearance and gait of the Caspian attracts favorable attention in the show ring.

The Caspian's jumping talent is no less than extraordinary as it excels with ease and proves a born jumper. The effortlessness with which the Caspian jumps race obstacles has won it numerous awards in the show ring and makes it an invaluable mount to the young, first-time competitor. The Caspian has most recently demonstrated an important expertise in the American and British Hunter show rings.

The Caspian makes an excellent harness horse, grace-graceful and energetic. It is extremely fast and agile. In single, pair and tandem turnouts, in Dressage, cross-country and Obstacle driving, the Caspian is a frequent winner. Even Caspian stallions can be driven side by side. Their acceleration, maneuverability and intelligence bring them considerable success.
