HORSES HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE INDIAN ETHOS FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL-WHETHER IN MYTHOLOGY, THE LEGENDARY HORSES OF THE CHARIOT OF THE SUN OR THE ONES THAT CARRIED WARRIORS AND KING ACROSS THE PAGE OF HISTORY. THE GOVT. OF INDIA IDENTIFIES FIVE BREEDS OF INDIAN HORSES: KATHIAWARI  MANIPURI, SPITI AND ZANSKARI. THE FIRST TWO ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR BEAUTY AND SPEED; THE LAST TWO ARE SLOW-MOVING HORSES FOUND ONLY IN HIMALAYAN RANGES.

INDIGENOUS HORSES OF INDIA 

KATHIAWARI:

The Kathiawari has fhe same history as that of Marwari but having been bred in the Kathiawar region of Gujarat , it acquires the name of Kathiawari. Breeding line and environmental differences have distinctively given certain separate features to the Kathiawari from it's cousin the Marwari. Such as ears, eyes, nose and in it's built up structure.

MARWARI:

The Marwari Horse has acquired it's name from it's original breeding place Marwar in Rajasthan. The Marwari horse today is descended from the splendid war-horses that served the ruling families and warriors of feudal India, throughout and from the beginning of that country's history. Their std'us was unparalleled, as they were declared divine and superior to all men, including those of Royal blood. Accordingly, only the Rajput families and the Kshatriyas - warrior caste were permitted to mount these exalted animals. Today the breed is once again achieving eminence after over a century of twilight status due to the Imperial presence of the British and further, the new Indian democracy. Marwari horse, as the most potent symbol of the warrior Kings somehow survived wholesale slaughter, castration and fearful ignorance during the troubled times preceding Independence and for several decades later. It is thanks to the surviving Rajput families and horse lovers from all communities that the resilient and beautiful Marwari has emerged from the shadows onto a bright and hopeful future and out of the threat of extinction,

      ZANSKARI:

      Zanskari horses are bred in the high altitude Zanskar region of Ladakh in eastern Jammu and Kashmir State of India. Physique of this horse is very similar to the Spiti pony but are more adaptable for higher altitude where they are used as work horses.

      MANIPURI:

      The Manipuri horses are bred in the north - eastern state of Manipur in India. The Manipuri has the best claim to fame, for it was the original polo pony. In the 1850's the English planters discovered this native game in India. They then took up and spread around the world. Physique of this horse is typical like that of pony but is very quick and maneuverable.
