For a while, we had distanced ourselves from oral history due to the large volume of content we had and will have from now on.

Today I have the chance again to be at the service of one of the greatest and most lovable masters of the equestrian community. Someone who has done very great things, is very lovable, very technical, and we all have a heartfelt devotion to him, and I hope that during these podcasts, the new generation will also benefit from these experiences and talks. I am at the service of Mr. Mohsen Alipour, one of the great and lovable figures of the equestrian community. Thank you very much for giving me this time and for the inconvenience, and.
I am really fortunate to have this chance to sit in front of you and chat directly with you. We are at your service. In the name of God, I greet you and thank you for remembering me, who is not among the greats, but from our dear equestrian greats and masters who have worked hard and maintained this equestrianism over the years. We thank you.
We are at your service. You yourself are among the great masters, and we are honored to be in your shadow. Mr. Mohsen, what day, month, and year were you born? I was born on December 22, 1958. May God protect you. Where are you originally from, and where were you born? I was born in the cradle of Iranian equestrianism, the same Faraabad. Because my father, my late father, was also in the same Faraabad.
He was in the royal hunting area of Faraabad. Are you originally from Tehran? Yes. Very well. What year did you get married? Mohsen, March 31, 1982. You remember this date better than your birth date. May God protect you. And how many children resulted from the marriage? Three. I have a daughter named Elham whom I love very much. May God protect her. She has a very beautiful grandchild. Omid Alipour and Navid. May God protect.
Mr. Mohsen, do you remember, now that you were born in Faraabad because of your connection, and practically grew up among horses, the first memory you have of seeing a horse up close or riding or getting close to one? Please tell us about the first memory you want to share about encountering a horse.
Before I started riding, as I said, our house was in Faraabad, and our elders would pass by our house on horseback. When I was in my room, I would hear the sound.
Of the horses' hooves, I would run outside to the door and greet them all, wave my hand, and see the horses, and I really enjoyed it and wanted to grow up quickly and come to this riding area and be able to make a move. Do you remember how old you were when you first rode a horse? My first coach was my late father. What was your father's name? Malek Alipour.
Let me tell you, he had a very unruly horse named Eldar Bay, which the old-timers of Faraabad know, and because he was involved in hunting and such, he had a mule that they would use for hunting, carrying the game on the mule to the Faraabad stable. He also had a mare named.
No matter what I did, because I was very small, I couldn't remember the name of that mare.
He would ride that mare, give me the mule with the same saddle and such, but he would lead me. But he would lead me. I was like this for a while, and I think I was 7, 8, or 9 years old. I was 8 or 9, let me tell you, until some time passed, and then that mare, because it was very calm, was a mare, but its name was, I absolutely can't remember, I don't know.
Later, he gave it to me himself, and he would ride Eldar Bay, which was very unruly or a stallion, and he would go ahead by seven, eight, ten meters, and he wouldn't lead me anymore. I would ride that mare at the same distance with them, riding for an hour a day, sometimes a little more or less, and then we would return, and then he sent me to a neighbor we had named Ebrahim Bek Heidari, may God rest his soul.
He was one of Shapour Abdolreza's guards, Abdolreza Pahlavi, and he entrusted me to him, and we would go riding with him, and we would go on very heavy rides, suddenly riding at 5 in the morning for hunting, and in these mountains and such, it was essential not to sweat, not to create fatigue, and because of this, we would go on many rides, and it got to the point that sitting on both sides of it was calloused, and after a while, I said I want to go.
To the jumping work, he introduced us to Mr. Bahrami, the elder, the father of Mr. Davood Bahrami, with whom we would ride with Mr. Davood Bahrami, with his father, Mr. Ezzat Khan Vojdani, with Mr. Bahrami and Mr. Davood Karimi Majzoub, because I say it was a little thing, I remember them well.
I remember who used to ride there before you. Those who were more senior than you, who were doing professional and classical manege jumping and such, were Mr. Ali Rezai, Mr. Ezzatollah Vojdani, Mr. Reza Tarash Kashani, the late Mr. Davood Karimi Majzoub. The generation before you. Yes, you said that your late father was the first to put you on a horse and introduced you to the horse. You practically started living with horses. Now, after your late father, who was the first person you started riding with in a classical way, meaning you entered the professional world of horses and equestrianism, who was it?
The late Mr. Hossein Afshar, who was one of the polo players and had expertise in jumping. Before he came from the guard, we would ride with him. We entered the jumping work and such until they gradually came and built there.
A very compact but very technical and good club. Yes, yes, there was only an 11-row stable. Of course, it later became 11, which was only the stable of my father's horses. It was true that it was very old and such, from the time of Reza Shah. That pool, let me tell you, we started riding with Colonel, who until the last days, wherever he went for coaching, he would say Mohsen must come here to help.
Do you remember the first competition you jumped in, what year, what horse, what category was it? I think we had a horse named Barf Sefid, it was 1973. This horse was very stubborn. They told us that this one must be put on track. They were stubborn that the fixed seats of Faraabad were not yet in place. They would rent chairs. The main Faraabad still rented chairs all around. Later, it became fixed like we are now. They are still the same chairs. Fixed. Yes, the same chair that was placed that year or not, did they change it? No, the same. However, Mr. Aab had brought so many chairs that they were movable. If one broke at some point, these things.
At one point, I went to the warehouse, there were many of those chairs, but after that, I don't know what happened at all. In short, we had a lot of things. Sir, Mr. Atabay had brought so many horseshoes from England. So many things like stirrup straps, like front hands, like bits, saddles, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.,
