THE
HORSES
Most of the horses used on safaris are Marwari & Khatyawari, a pure Indian
breed of horse ,instantly recognizable by their distinctive curly
ears, stamina and their faithfulness and loyalty to their master. Others are
Katiawari or Sinde. Using all these breeds allows for temperament of horse
to meet the requirements of each rider. Some Marwari horses will trot and
canter, but others will naturally break in to a different gait, called in
Hindi “RAWAL”. In english, it is known as a kind amble, aplace or a
rack.This gait, orignally evolved in Desert conditions and gives extremely
smooth ride.It also offers additional challenges to European riders.
A groom is
provided for all the horses but riders are expected to take the same care
and show the same interest in their horses welfare as they would feel if
they were their own.
