It was the dawn of the Great Mughal
Empire that horses were first integrated into everybody
life in India and since then riding has been a major
means of transport .The fearsome Rajputs , as they
stampeded across the plains and mountain passes ,
depended on the fleetness of their horses of success
in battle . They spend years trying to breed superior
horses , hoping to outdo their rivals and eventually
enabling them to conquer much of the Subcontinent
. This rivalry lives on today in the form of fierce
competitions at annually held cattle " fairs
' ; on the glamorous polo fields of Rajasthan ; and
on India's thriving race - tracks .the Rajput's swiftest
horses were bred in Mewar , Marwar and Kathiwar and
still maintain their reputation of superiority today
. Travelling on horseback is the best possible way
to see the countryside as you journey unhurriedly
and through desert forest , small oases and tribal
lands ; through rolling hills and rural villages ;
or through forested foothills . The scenery encountered
on each journey varies enormously and the suggested
routes can be shortened or lengthened to suit your
requirements . For more information about these itineraries
