History of kathi(kathiyawadi) horses;-

origin of kathiyawadi horse is unkown, there are many theories about origin of kathiyawadi horse. but there are lack of evidence among all the theories. some believes that kathiyawadi horse are descend from arab stallion and local mares. but theory that it cross between kathiyawadi local mare and arab stallion is not acceptable as it can refuted logically and scientifically though some of the points the two breed are matching it does not necessarily mean that it is cross between the two.one of the distinctive features of kathiyawadi horse is its ear,which curve inward to touch and sometimes overlap at the tips. The Kathiawari has the most extremely curved ears of any breed of horse.if arab stallions crossed the mare, this horses would have lost it distinct ears. black color is not found in the kathiyawadi horse and kathiyawadi horse are commanly dun in colour, on the other side dun colour  is not found in arab. if kathiyawadi horses were descends of arab then kathiyawadi would have balck colour and would not be dun commanly. what ever their origin it was developed by kathi kshatriya. Kathi kshatriya are said to preserved pure and refined kathiyawari breed like rathore ruler’s have preserved Marwari horses.there are 36 different strains of kathi horse.kathi kshatriya were so selective and precise in breeding and preserving these different strains & breeds that even Arab, which is now considered to be purest & oldest breed of the world, even they have only 12 sub breeds or families of the arab.there are no breeders of the horse in the world who had bred & developed so many different strains & families from particularly just one blood.this goes to show that the horse breeding knowledge, technique and passion was so prominent and horse mastership and horsemanship was very high standard in kathi kshatriya.kathiyawadi are world best war horse.sorry for the poor english
