A five‑year‑old Sindhi mare named Aini, standing over 63 inches tall and fed daily milk, ghee and fruit, became the centre of attention at Barmer’s horse‑racing competition.
Barmer, Rajasthan, hosted its annual horse‑racing competition this week, attracting enthusiasts from across the region. Among the entries, a five‑year‑old Sindhi mare called Aini captured immediate interest as she entered the arena.
Aini measures more than 63 inches in height, a size that places her among the tallest horses competing in the state. Her caretakers attribute her stature to a strict diet that includes daily servings of milk, clarified butter (ghee) and fresh fruit, a regimen that has become a talking point among spectators.
The unusual feeding schedule and the mare’s impressive height turned Aini into a focal point for the crowd, with onlookers gathering around the track to watch her performance. While the race results are yet to be announced, the horse’s presence has already highlighted the growing interest in equine sports within Rajasthan’s rural communities.
