In the Footsteps of the Shekhawati Brigade, Rajasthan, India. This Is A In the Footsteps of the Shekhawati Brigade, Rajasthan, India. 12 days; 7 days riding. th th 4 October 2017 to 15 October 2017 Introduction This is a unique opportunity to retrace the footsteps of the Shekhawati Brigade, one of the British Raj’s most charismatic and agile cavalry regiments. The Shekhawati Brigade was established in 1835 and subsequently amalgamated with other regiments. Their actions can be traced right through to Independence in 1947 and up to modern times; Rajasthan was their theatre of operation. Discover the exploits of this cavalry brigade and their skirmishes against the dacoits. This exciting chapter of British history will be brought to life each evening with informal talks around the camp fire given by a local Rajput whose family can trace its ancestry back to well before the founding of the Shekhawati Brigade. Ride the trails by day and hear the tales by night. At salient points along the route we have arranged for elderly gentlemen, who knew pre-Independence India, to meet us and share their stories. This is a “Buddy Ride” which means we welcome six fully fit riders and six injured servicemen or women. These will be chosen by Polo for Heroes with the aid of Help for Heroes, Band of Brothers; the experience of this ride will contribute to both physical and mental recovery. We will ride as a group consisting of six buddy-pairs. There will be people in India to offer assistance as required, reinforcing the buddy partnerships.

    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Riding with Kings, Rajasthan, India. 10 Days Plus Options to Stay On
    Riding with Kings, Rajasthan, India. 10 days plus options to stay on. 7 days riding. Introduction This is a ride through rural Rajasthan, a long way from India’s established tourist routes. We ride along sandy trails that thread their way between fields of millet, squash and horse-beans, crossing an agricultural environment that is little changed from the days of the Rajputs and Mongol overlords. Camel carts are the transport of choice with ox waggons and donkeys making their contribution to the rural roads. Many crops are harvested by sickle, fields ploughed by bullocks, and the occasional small Massey, and crops stooked in the traditional way. This is a rare opportunity to see India in a rural setting. And the fact that you’ll be travelling in the most traditional way, riding a Marwari Horse, bestows a very special status upon you: not only are you mounted, but you will be mounted on a prize example of a Marwari – well cared for, well fed and fantastically well mannered. When you ride through a village, heads will turn: riders from the West mounted on horses that the experienced, appraising eyes will acknowledge come from the top bloodlines. The thing to emphasize about this ride is that the logistics are flexible and can be tailor-made to fit your itinerary, particularly if your party consists of four or more riders. The Marwari Horse “science” of whorls is of interest, your host on this The Marwari horse stands between 14 hh and 17 hh ride is well-versed and happy to share his knowledge.

(April 2011) Emily Mullins Department of International Studies Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Dr. Stephen Caffey Department of Architecture The Mughal Empire lasted from 1526 until 1858 in present day Northern India and Pakistan, but was under strong imperial control until 1707. The Mughal emperors were Islamic invaders who combined their culture with that of the native Hindus. This especially showed in their miniature paintings, illustrations in books and manuscripts. Books were considered a commodity, and required a patron who could afford an entire workshop of artisans. Mughal artists created a unique style, drawing from Persian and Indian influences with heavy input from their patrons. The paintings were heavily stylized, but the stylizations were specific. No previous study has used the horse as a focus to analyze miniatures, so this research utilizes detailed information about horse conformation and coat coloring to understand the visual language of the miniatures.

In the present study modern technology of DNA extraction and automatic genotyping was applied in Bosnian and Herzegovinian autochthonous horse breed by using 17-Plex horse genotyping kit. The study was aimed at investigating usefulness of the 17-plex STR Kit for Bosnian mountain horse genotyping and establishing highly useful microsatellite markers system for genetic diversity studies in Bosnian mountain horse breed. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood collected from 22 unrelated Bosnian mountain horse specimens. A total of 95 alleles were detected. Average number of detected alleles per locus was 5.588, varying from 3 (HTG7) to 10 (ASB17). Average effective number of alleles was 3.603, fluctuating from 1.789 (HMS7) to 5.728 (HMS2). The observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.136 (HMS3) to 0.909 (ASB2) with a mean of 0.631.

Yet, what this discipline frequently neglects is an examination of how history informs tradition. Local knowledge of history, while it may contradict available historical evidence, is an important indicator of the social, economic, and political pressures a group is experiencing. History investigates processes over time, while tradition is decidedly anachronistic in its function and conceptualization.

Keeping in the view of the importance India of parasitic infections in veterinary health coverage particularly in Manipuri ponies, the present study was planned. A survey of natural cases of cutaneous habronemosis followed by molecular confirmation of species involved and treatments were done. Out of 200 ponies examined, nine cases (4.5%) of cutaneous habronemosis was recorded. Gross examination revealed raised and ulcerated wounds with necrotic tissues covered with yellowish-tan granulation. Histopathological study revealed eosinophilic granuloma and in the center of the granuloma with necrotic debris. Remnants of the Hebronema larvae with infiltrating neutrophils surrounded by proliferating fibrous tissue with numerous eosinophils, macrophages and lymphocytes were also observed.
