In 1965, one of the oldest horse breeds on Earth, the hardy yet graceful and distinctively petite - Caspian Horse, was rediscovered in northern Iran. Nearly fifty years later, Iranian born Director Farokh Khorooshi and renowned equine photographer Colin Barker set off on a two year trip around the globe. Their aim: to find and photograph some of the very best Caspian horses alive today. The images in this beautiful 50th Anniversary for 2016 Calendar are the result. Farokh and Colin hope this calendar will help raise enough funds to help set up an international Caspian Stallion Sperm Bank, an initiative designed to help secure the future of this unique Iranian National Treasure.
Farokh Khorooshi, Colin Barker and Chair of Caspian Horse Society Ruth Staines were granted an audience with HRH Prince Philip at Buckingham Palace on December 3rd 2015 to present a copy of the 50th anniversary Calendar.
