Okay, let's get this party started....Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

The breed deteriorated in the 1930s, but today has regained some of its popularity. - sorta leaves me hanging, deteriorated how?

Expounded on this in both the lead and body.

In the 1990’s a breed society was formed for the Marwari in India, --> precise date if known is better.

1995 - added by another user.

...depending on the geographic origin of the horse. Horses that receive a nutritious diet from the time they are foals tend to be taller and larger in general. - does look a little odd, as the first sentence mentions geography, then the next nutrition.

Tweaked this to make it (hopefully) flow better. Let me know if it worked!

They are quite similar to the Kathiawari horse, another breed from India - might be good to mention how they are similar and different.

Expanded on this in body. Would you like more?

Yeah, that's okay, you could clarify what the facial differences are but not a deal-breaker.

The Arabians possibly came ashore from a cargo ship wrecked off India's west coast. - now that sounds like a cool story...any more info?

I haven't been able to find much else on this, but will do a bit more digging.

Update - found a bit more on this, although it's mostly legend. I added it in, is it enough?

Yes :)

Overall, pretty good, a few tweaks and we're there. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:34, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

My replies are interspersed above. I will probably have a better reply on the last point this evening, after I have had a chance to look a bit more. Dana boomer (talk) 14:27, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I think I've addressed everything above. Please let me know if there are still issues you would like me to take care of! Dana boomer (talk) 15:30, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
