How many horsemen?

Posts that don't fit into any other category. If it's anything to do with guns, it probably doesn't belong here!

This is not a new model at all, but my efforts to get a revolver license in Delhi :)

Planning to get a desi pony for my sons and a Marwari or two sometime in the future. Happy to see so many Marwari owners/fanciers among IFGians.
Regards,
Yaj.

Jai-ho Marwari! Gentlemen / Owners - I suggest it would be great if you could share pictures of your favorite mounts (for us dis-mounted chaps)! What say? I dare say, maybe as much fun (or more) as as the Mustang in HIDALGO? Loved that one - what endurance, what heart! :D

The Marwari or Malani[1] is a rare breed of horse from the Marwar (or Jodhpur) region of India. Known for its inward-turning ear tips, it comes in all equine colours, although pinto patterns tend to be the most popular with buyers and breeders. It is known for its hardiness, and is quite similar to the Kathiawari, another Indian breed from the Kathiawar region southwest of Marwar. Many breed members exhibit a natural ambling gait. The Marwari are descended from native Indian ponies crossed with Arabian horses, possibly with some Mongolian influence.

The Rathores, traditional rulers of the Marwar region of western India, were the first to breed the Marwari. Beginning in the 12th century, they espoused strict breeding that promoted purity and hardiness. Used throughout history as a cavalry horse by the people of the Marwar region, the Marwari was noted for its loyalty and bravery in battle. The breed deteriorated in the 1930s, when poor management practices resulted in a reduction of the breeding stock, but today has regained some of its popularity.

The Marwari is used for light draught and agricultural work, as well as riding and packing. In 1995, a breed society was formed for the Marwari in India, and in the 2000s horses have begun to be exported to the United States and Europe.
