The sport is catching up. But then in all sports except cricket, there is little money.The government has to step in to restore this ancient sport. Horse riding builds character and strength. I have an article coming on horse riding on Boddunan and hope it will see the light of day soon.As late as 19th-century maharajah Ranjit Singh was a great horse rider. However, the sport went into decline during the days of the Raj and was only sustained by the Maharajas.Give them credit. Whenever I visit Bombay, I find at least 50 boys and girls earning their spurs at the Amateur Riding Club.they are sponsored by one of the big business houses.

Yes especially because it is a family from a lower strata belonging to a minority community ...many a times it is the ones with barely two square meals a day, who are willing to share even that with others .
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
