Wonderful Marwaris

Caroline and Ajeet, the owners, are passionate about these horses and will be eager to share their knowledge and stories about them with their guests. The name Marwari, is derived from their homeland, the Marwar region of Rajasthan, India. These incredible creatures are bred to cover long distances in intense heat at good speed and have strong limbs and hooves. They’ve been described as beautiful and intelligent as well as brave and adaptable because of their history being war horses. Of course, the breed is instantly recognizable by their ears, with their unique curly lyre shape, touching at the tip and giving them their unique look.

For the Love of these horses

When riding with Horse India, you can partake in a bit donation scheme, a horse welfare project that provides owners of indigenous horses with bits that are kinder to their mouths. Many of these magical Marwaris are ridden with homemade intricately decorated bits that are sharp and can cause immense suffering. Often, the owner's choice to use such a painful bit, comes from a place of lack of education on the matter horse tack that is both effective and safe to use. By donating conventional horse bits, it is promoting a sense of good horsemanship and preservation of these beautiful animals.
