Uses
In the early 1800s, the Kathiawari was used by the Maratha and British cavalries, and was considered superior to other breeds in this capacity. The use by the cavalry was maintained until the end of World War I, but they are used little by the Indian army in modern times, despite being a native breed. Many Indian mounted police units make use of the Kathiawari. The Kathiawari is also used extensively for the sport of tent pegging. Annual breed shows are hosted by the breed registry.
