Equine species comprised of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules and their domestication was around 2000-3000 years B.C. It had contributed significantly to the human civilizations throughout the world (Anonymus, 2010). Horses have been closely associated with man since ancient times. The evidence can be obtained from old epics (Ramayana, Mahabharata) and Vedas. In Bikaner area horse keeping is a status symbol of rich people and being used for joy riding. Some people rear the horses for small entrepreneurship like carting goods and people, carrying packs, bricks and other construction materials, riding, water carrying, rubbish collection, tourism and for ceremonial purposes. The total world horse population is estimated at 58.5 millions, according to a report compiled by the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAOSTAT, 2010). Almost 2 per cent of the world’s equine population and 5 per cent of Asian equines are found in India. Currently it possesses 1.18 million equines (DADF, 2007). Major equine population about 1.14 million (approximately 97%)comprising donkeys (0.44 million), mules (0.13 million) and ponies (0.57 million) provides livelihood tothe landless, small and marginal farmers and other section of our rural and semi-urban society throughdraught and transport. According to 18th Livestock Census (2007) of Rajasthan, total horse population was 24564 and Bikaner possesses 1088 horses (DAHD, Govt. of Rajasthan, 2012). Traditionally, these animals were utilized as draught and transport animals ofchoice especially in the mountainous and hilly regions of the country and thus, have special economicsignificance in these difficult terrains where motorable roads are inadequate. More than 60,000 urban based horses and ponies are exclusively used in 48 tonga transport system. Of the rural population, about 0.5 million are directly involved in passengerand goods transport. Additionally,remaining equines (about 40,000), reared by racing industry (thoroughbred), army, mounted police,ITBP, equestrian federation, polo horse and pony societies and those utilized for ceremonialactivities such as weddings and festivals (Dwivedi, 2005). Equine is an important draught animal species with multipurpose utility for draught, transport, sports, patrolling and traditional ceremonies. Equine species play a very important role in the socio economical life of the human population. They are the beasts of burden and have also been playing important role in tourism promotion. The majority of the equine population comprises of ponies that are owned only by socially and economically deprived landless, marginal and small farmers (Nwosu and Stephen, 2005; Phaniraja and Panchasara, 2009; Fazili and Kirmani.
