Louise Firouz was an American horsewoman who was unable to find suitable mounts for her children to ride in her husband’s native Iran.
With three other women she went in search of ponies that were rumoured to live in the inhospitable Caspian Mountains in the north. She travelled through rice paddies, remote villages and ancient civilizations, to the edge of Russia and returned with three tiny horses, only waist high. They looked like Arabians and were gentle and friendly – the perfect find for her young children and their friends!
Then she realized that these could be the same horses that she had seen pulling chariots on the ancient friezes at Persepolis and on the seal of King Darius the Great in 500 BC. Could these be the ancestors of their mountain ponies? Had they survived 3000 years of turmoil in the remote Caspian Mountains? Would they survive the gathering storm of Iran's Civil War?
The discovery of these tiny ancient horses would test the limits of Louise Firouz’ strength and resolve. This is the story of that remarkable journey.
Riding Through Revolution Louise Firouz Brenda Dalton 9780768484298 Books
From the very first word to the last, Louise Firouz takes us on an extraordinary life journey -not unlike the mountain treks and migrations - of people and horses - that are chronicled in
this story. Her willingness to forgo the trodden path of life in the US for new adventures in Iran,
her no nonsense approach to setting up a life, bringing up a family and of course her love and excitement in finding the Caspian ponies and doing whatever necessary to help them survive and thrive is inspirational. Her humor, warmth and empathy
- her strength and resilience in the face of adversity are extraordinary. This should be
required reading for anyone with an interest in horses,
in the work that women do, and of course in Iran-US relations beyond the noise of politics.
I wish I'd known her.

I knew her and she was an undetered modern day adventuress. She rediscovered the Caspian Pony on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea. The Caspian was thought to be lost when Genghis Khan came through the region 1000 years ago. She describes the many regions she travelled in great detail and how she re-established the breed and .how she and her family livrd their lives in Iran
I was attracted to this book because I’m interested in Caspian Horses. However, the glimpse into history during this time of revolution and the word pictures of the people and places in Iran were stunning
