Horses Used By The Sikhs

[HSD2]

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.

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.

Singh559, the last post highlights what a great bloodline Adam represents. The Majhuke/Chuner bloodline is unmatched. Cover an average mare with Adam and you are guaranteed a good foal
