On the question of indigenous "wild horse" the following site has dome interesting info:

<b>1. Kathiawari Horses </b>
The superintendent of Gaekwar Contingent in 1880 suggested that the Kathiawari breed may have sprung from the wild horses of Kathiawar (a sort of Quagga, Bombay Gazette, Kathiawari, foot note, page 97). The breeding tract of the breed is Saurashtra province of Gujarat which comprises of Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Surendranagar Junagarh and Amreli districts of Gujarat.
Isn't it possible that other parts of India also had indigenous horses in the past? Nowadays in Himachal we only have tattoos <!--emo&
