'RAJASTHAN'
- the land of the Rajputs, is known for its kings, fearless warriors and
beautiful women. It's also known for its forts, palaces and temples which
are a reminder of the glorious p
ast.
Kingdoms were carved and established by the Rajputs on horseback, while
swords were stained with enemy blood. Horses were highly priced and a Rajput
warrior would give anything to own a goodhorse.
Great care was taken to breed horses and to keep a clean and pure lineage.
The result of many years of dedication and hard work helped create breeds
like the Marwari, Kathiawadi and the Sindhi, each having its own distinct
characteristics and bred solely for the purpose of war. These horses were
noted for their stamina and fierce loyalty to their masters. With these
gallant steeds, the Rajputs became famous worldwide. There is an old saying;
"
If God didn't create the horse,
he wouldn't have created the Rajputs "
