The Marwari Horse Endurance Championship 2018, held in Lonavala, Maharashtra on 28th January 2018, had all the excitement that was promised and more. Over fifty horses took to the field in three categories –20km, 40km and 60 kms courses. This annual event is organized by the Indigenous Horse Owners Association (Maharashtra) and attracts riders not only from Maharashtra, but other states too. Held on 28th January (Sunday), the event started at the first stroke of daybreak giving the horses and riders enough cool weather to set a good pace and show what they are capable of. And they did. The energy was unrelenting and the challenge immense, given the uneven nature of the terrain and the difficulty of the cross- country course.
