The Horses
Nearly all the horses we use for safaris and trail riding are Marwari horses. This breed is native in Rajasthan and best suited for long rides in this region.
Formerly bred for the purpose of war, the Marwari horse has Arab and Turkmeni ancestors, which were brought to India by Central-Asian and Muslim invaders. His home is the desert kingdom of Marwar from where it spread through the whole of Rajasthan. Its name means quite literally “from the land of death”. Over centuries it was bred in the harsh desert climate of Rajasthan by warring Rajput clans.
The outcome was a hardy, intelligent horse with a great stamina, which could thrive on little food and water. Trained highly in the art of war it was known for its bravery on the battlefield. Combining sublime beauty, an unbreakable spirit with courage and loyalty unto death, these horses were the bold and magnificent chargers of the fearless Rajput warriors.
