Lady of the Land of Horses: The Story of Louise Firouz 

Lady of the Land of Horses: The Story of Louise Firouz, the American who Discovered the Caspian Horse in Iran
We are delighted to have Ms. Ateshé Larsson-Firouz, the daughter of Louise Firouz, who will be sharing her mother's tale of friendship, endurance and courage during her time in Iran attempting to rescue the Caspian ponies. Ateshe grew up in the Alburz Mountains, her home full of Caspian horses whom she treated as both friends and riding partners. Later in life, she pursued higher education in Zoology and Biochemistry at UC Berkeley, Arabic Studies in Cairo, and an MBA from I.E.S.E in Barcelona. Throughout her many professional experiences in the Biotech industry, Larsson-Firouz never forgot her original passion, horses, and more specifically the Caspian breed. They remained close to her heart, and she continues to teach, judge, and assess them, always working to protect the horses she loves.
