Caspian Pony, breed of miniature horse that was once thought to be extinct and was rediscovered in Iran only in 1965. It is thought to be both a direct descendant of the small horses used by the Mesopotamians 5,000 years ago and an ancestor of the Arab. It is now bred in the United States, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand for driving and riding. Its height at the shoulder is between 10 and 12 hands (102-122 cm/40-48 in). Its colours include brown, chestnut, and grey, but bay is the most common. The head is similar to the Arab and on a long neck. It has large eyes, short ears, and a strong jaw. The well-sloped shoulders give a fast, low drive. The neck is arched and the back is short, with fine legs and a silky, high-set tail.
