The Main purpose behind this book is to portray the socio-economic life of the poor people who are solely dependant upon the equine rearing for their livelihood. Besides the importance of these animals can not be undermined even in the era of modernization particularly in the mountain specificities where road development can not be undertaken without disturbing the environment of the area. The presentation of the material has been deliberately kept simple supported with data and photographs so that it could be understood and used even by literate progressive farmers who may not have any previous training in the equine management and other extension workers engaged in equine development programme can also benefit from this book. The value of this book is especially enhanced by the analysis presented in a simple form based on actual experience and data collected from the equine rearers in the mountain locked areas. With regard to the method of exposition, mathematical and statical tools have been used at appropriate places. Important information on progressive equine breeders has been given.
