Facts:The Marwari horse has emerged from the threat of extinction with the help of horse lovers and the existing Rajput families, after surviving castration and slaughter preceding independence.
One of the best-known tales of Marwari horse valor is the one about Chetak, the loyal steed of Maharana Pratap of Mewar. In 1546, the Maharana rode Chetak in the Haldi Ghat battle near Udaipur against the Mughals. Legend says that Chetak stood on his hind legs and drummed his hooves on the imperial commander's war elephant allowing the Maharana to kill the driver of the elephant, thus blunting their advance but the mogul troops rallied with the arrival of field reinforcements. Although the Marwari horse was severely wounded, the story goes that Chetak still carried his master to safety, even though his one hind leg was hacked off, before finally giving up his own life. The Maharana was grief stricken over the death of his horse and the sacrifice it made to save him and swore to always remember and honor this brave creature. The King built a splendid memorial some years later for his magnificent steed.
Considered one of the worlds finest horse breeds today, the ancient Turkmenian-Arab mix lineage breed of horse, the magnificent Marwari evolved in the rough Marwari desert region.
Super Fact:Today's Marwari horses descended from the magnificent war horses that served warriors of feudal India and the ruling families from the beginning and throughout India's history. Their status was without equal as they declared the Marwari horses superior, divine, and almighty, to everyone including men of Royal blood. Consequently, they allowed only the Kshatriyas-warrior class ad Rajput families to mount the exalted Marwari horses.
