These horses are known for their refined appearance, spirited nature, and compact size, with an average height of around 32 to 38 inches. They are mainly found in the northern region and the forests of the Caspian region, specifically in Mazandaran and Gilan provinces. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
