The Marwari horse is native to the Marwar region of India, and its origins are entwined with local folklore. The breed can be traced to a period, "when the ocean was churned to extract nectar for the Gods. A period when horses had wings."The bardic literature of Rajasthan speaks very high of Marwari Horses, of their heroic exploits, leaping up to Haudus of Elephant crossing over the high barrier walls of cities and forts. Few of the famous horses are "Chetak" of Maharana Pratap, and Veer Durga Dasji's horse "Arbud."

Horse is a symbol of loyalty, self-respect, and power. It is also a part of the deepest root of our culture. It is our duty to have a sense of responsibility towards the continuity of the noble breed of horses with which we all have always been connected and to which we owe so much.
