If the tests prove their distinctiveness, the Sindhi-Kutchi breed horses could become the fourth distinct breed of livestock unique to Kutch, after Kutchi camel and its smaller, mangrove-eating cousin Kharai, which lives in the district's coastal regions, and the Banni breed of buffalo. The samples have been collected to check if they are distinct from the recognised Kathiawadi and Marwadi breeds of horses found in Gujarat. Scientists from the National Research Centre on Equines (NRCE) in Hisar, Haryana, this weekend took blood samples and performed various measurements and observations of Sindhi-Kutchi horses, which some claim are descended from Arabian horses.
