The Marwari or Malani horse is a rare and unusual breed from the Marwar (Jodhpur) region in Northwestern India in Rajasthan.

They were highly prized by the Mughals of India as warhorses. Their inward curving ears give them exceptional hearing. The Mughals were excellent horseback warriors who carried short recurve bows and fired them with extreme accuracy at high speeds on horseback. These beautiful horses are still bred and highly desirable although they're naturally no longer used for war.
