The Marwari or Malani is a breed of horse from India. It is known for its inward-turning ear tips, and comes in all colors, although pinto colors tend to be the most popular. It is a hardy breed, and quite similar to the Kathiawari, also from India. Many members of the breed exhibit a natural pacing gait. The Marwari are descended from native Indian ponies crossed with Arabian horses, possibly with some Mongolian influence.

The Rathores, traditional rulers of the Marwar region of India, were the first to breed the Marwari. Beginning in the 12th century, they espoused strict breeding that promoted the purity and hardiness of the breed. Used throughout history as a cavalry horse by the people of the Marwar region, the Marwari was noted for its loyalty and bravery in battle. The breed deteriorated in the 1930s, with breeding stock diminishing due to poor management practices, but today has regained some of its popularity. The Marwari is used for light draft and agricultural work, as well as riding and packing. In 1995, a breed society was formed for the Marwari in India, and in the 2000’s horses have begun to be exported to the United States and Europe.
