A famous legendary breed of royal Rajasthan, Marwari Horses are the symbol of royalty and heroism in the state. These were previously used during the wars for centuries. It is mainly famous for its beautiful features and ambling gaits, these are equines that trot with a great style and brightness. The horses are always known for their boldness and are genetically similar to the Kathiawari breeding which is also found in Rajasthan. Currently, the pure specimens of the Marwari horses are quite rare, while the government of India has taken some necessary steps to improve the population because it has become the rarest one in India.
History & growth – The Marwari Horses are originated in India and according to the genetic researcher’s opinion, they had descended from the Arabian horses mixed with native Indian ponies. Although the Marwari horse shares some common structures with another Indian breed – the Kathiawari while both of these are different from each other.
These horses carry some signs of pure blood for centuries which is reflected through its ear tips that are pointed inwards. The Marwari horse’s breeds were primarily the warhorses that had appeared in the historic battlefields of royals and their dynasties.
History of these horses is accounted to the era of 1193, the Rathore clan of Rajasthan happened to a great loss of their kingdom and took refuge to some remote areas of the regions like a desert. During those times, the horses become a major part of their lifestyles for traveling from one place to another.
