Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh collaborates with USPA to protect Marwari horses

Padmanabh Singh, or Pacho, recently became the global ambassador for the US Polo Association (PC: uspoloassn)

This partnership combines his two great loves: polo and fashion

A central feature of Pacho’s partnership with USPA is the Marwari horse, an indigenous breed from Rajasthan

Known for its beauty and strength, this breed played a significant role in India’s history, including battles during World War I

Sadly, the Marwari horse is now a dwindling breed. Pacho hopes to spread awareness about this majestic animal with the USPA collaboration

When he spoke to THE WEEK he said "You will see the Marwari horse front and centre of this campaign. It’s amazing how fashion can have an impact. All our dynasties and places were built on the backs of these horses, quite literally.'
