Horses Used By The Sikhs


Recommended Posts

Most of the larger well run stud farms were abandoned in West Punjab. Those who worked on them moved abroad after 1947. There are some decent horses around but whether the owners would sell them are another matter. Asking Nihangs would be your best bet.

Contact Tegbir S Brar (g/son of the late Harcharan S Brar, Chief Minister of Punjab briefly in the mid 90s) whose family run the Dasmesh Stud farm in Sarainaga in Muktsar. His email is tegbir@hotmail.com and telephone +91- 9815306994. Let him know to what purpose the mare will be needed and he'll help you out. Avoid approaching nihangs - you'will not get a good deal or animal from them. Apart from that, this project about the self sustained community sounds really interesting. If you have more information about it and the background to it, then please tell us more.

Thank you ji, much appreciated. I will pass on the details to the group. Can't say more about the community at this time, they will themselves release information soon. At this time it being run by those who have dedicated their lives to God/sewa, if you are thinking of such dedication, PM me and I'll put you in touch with someone who can explain more about their aims.

Brar breeds thoroughbreds, there are problems in the Indian racing industry and if you just want a horse for leisure riding then a TB may be for you.

The Budha Dal Nihangs at Raqba used to have 80 brood mares. Not sure what happened to this breeding setup. Lots of the Dals have poorly maintained horses so pointless asking them.

There is ample supply of horses if you have the money to buy.

zoltan do you know what kind of price are you looking at for basheri from Brars co?

Depends on bloodline BUT there is oversupply when it comes to TB racehorses. Why buy a basheri when you can get a TB mare cheap? I have heard of TB Mares going for as little as RS25,000 (and in some cases given away for free).

Tohana in Haryana was the capital of the TB studs. Might be worth trying there as well if you want a TB.

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
