Friends of Marwari/Kathiawari Horse UK announced the first successful delivery of over 80 snaffle bits to India. The bits had been donated by horse lovers from all over the United Kingdom specifically for the welfare of Indigenous Indian horses. These bits were given to influential Indian horse breeders, professional traders, riders, and individual owners of horses, mostly of the Marwari and Kathiawari breeds.

Friends of Marwari/Kathiawari Horse UK (FOMHUK) was formed in 2008 to promote the welfare and help bring worldwide awareness of Marwari and Kathiawari horses. These unique breeds can only be found in the desert regions of India and are distinguished by their curly touching ears.
