The Everest Horse Race is a traditional equestrian event held annually in the Himalayan regions of India, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and horsemanship skills of local communities.
This spectacular event features indigenous horse breeds from various parts of India, including the Marwari horse from Rajasthan, known for its distinctive curved ears, and the Manipuri pony from Northeast India, celebrated for its agility and endurance in mountainous terrain.
Local artisans create beautiful traditional saddlery and riding equipment using indigenous materials like hand-woven textiles, leatherwork, and metal craftsmanship that represent centuries-old Indian equestrian traditions.
The race also promotes local products such as Himalayan herbal treatments for horse care, traditional riding gear made by Indian craftsmen, and organic feed products grown in the foothills of the Himalayas. |
