Caspian Stallion - First Time Driving

This is MCC Mirab, our beautiful Caspian Stallion, known at home as Westlee. This video was taken in early spring, so I must apologize for his chubbiness and winter fur falling off. Since this is his first drive, under controlled conditions, he is not wearing blinders, and the harness has since been fitted properly.

Prior to this day, he had been lunged five times and introduced to the cart, but not attached. This was filmed after only five minutes of training, and we finished, with this video, on a good note. This amazing speed of training is typical of most Caspian horses.

Please visit our website where you can learn more about Caspian horses and see what we have for sale. As we are attempting to establish this rare breed in Canada (as of January 2009, there are about forty), preference will be given to Canadian buyers.

Glad you had the first foal born in Canada. Hope you can do more for the breed than most of us can!

I'll agree that it is a big challenge, especially with the North American equine industry in decline. Caspian breeders are not producing as many foals, because there is almost no demand. So, we do what we can!

Hey, great video, he looks like a natural. I just started driving mini's last summer and it's great fun. Are you going to be showing or just driving for pleasure?

[SerenityCaspians]

As much as I would like to get the Caspians out in the public eye, I don't have the means to get to the shows this year. I hope to sell our geldings, and hopefully they will help increase awareness of the breed at the local stables and shows. I do enjoy pleasure driving and riding my Caspians.

Realy good first driving. It´s looks also to be a nice stallion. Good luck with him.

There are a few Caspian specialists who have informed me that Mirab is among the best of the Caspian stallions. I feel so fortunate. Every time I am with him, I feel a little bit of magic, like being with a unicorn. There is definitely something special about this breed.

wonderful foal and landscape.

Well, I just have another two colts :( I certainly do not have the means to show my Caspians alas. Even worse due to an injury and perhaps a move on the horizon I will have to sell my whole herd, just as I have a good mixture of bloodlines.

Many years for nothing. I just hope somehow they will stay together as there are 5 beautiful stallions + Siyroun (in retirement :) Weli not in his head! Wonderful video, how long did it take to train him, curious? Yes they are magic, the societies not ;(
