Persian horses gentler than American stock for riders
Spirited Persians, though high-spirited, are gentler than American horses. They favor fast walk, canter, and gallop, dislike trots, and cost about 45 to 400 shillings for strong or superior mounts in Teheran. Royal stables feature hundreds of chosen steeds, with the Shah reportedly sheltering fugitives in stable walls. The present Shah owns 2000 mares in the Lar Valley, 40 miles from Teheran at 11,000 feet elevation.
