The efforts which are being made to improve the breed of Indian horses are of importance to large numbers of Indian agriculturists. It is expected that for 1930 it will be possible to supply Indian bred remounts for the Army at low prices than the horses can be purchased from Australia and that by the year, enough remounts will be available in India to meet the annual requirements for the Cavalry. This would effect saving in Indian revenues while the money expended on horses would be kept in the country. Advices from Australia meanwhile show that light-horse breeding in the Commonwealth is diminishing rapidly, which is an additional reason why efforts should be made to make the Cavalry from animals bred in India itself — “The Pioneer.”
