A passionate initiative to safeguard India's equine heritage
Save Native Horses Trust is a passionate initiative focused on safeguarding India's rich equine heritage. Native horse breeds are an integral part of our culture and history, yet many face the risk of decline due to modernisation and lack of awareness.
Based in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, we work on the ground with breeders, riders and local communities to keep this heritage alive — one horse, one rider, one programme at a time.

Bred over generations for India's heat, terrain and conditions.
Low maintenance
Hardier and more resilient than many imported breeds.
Strong endurance
Natural stamina and resilience built for working terrain.
