Manipuri Pony - Champion of a Legacy

Manipur’s mythology and history are inseparable from its ponies, once the backbone of its past glory, but now they stand on the brink of extinction.

The Manipuri Pony holds a special place in the mythology and cultural heritage of Manipur. According to legends, the Manipuri Ponies, considered sacred, were believed to have descended from the mythical horse Shamadon Ayangba, a divine steed associated with the gods. (1/x)

It could have been a good addition of protein and nutrients. Trying out with barley, unfortunately barley seeds are not available in Imphal! They are buying it from Amazon, apparently barley grows faster too, fingers crossed the ponies hopefully like it🤞

Before spending much money to construct the hydroponic shed the boys on the ground experimented wheat seeds to see if our ponies like to eat them. After 7 days ponies were fed with the wheat plants, no our ponies are choosy, they don’t like it!

Had a good meeting with some pony owners today to experiment growing Hydroponic Fodder in Manipur. This could be a very good nutritional supplement for the ponies to start with.

Manipuri Pony Adoption Agreement. Dear all, could you give us any feedback on this please? Sorry it has taken a little longer to prepare this 🙏🏻

Check out these beautiful Manipuri Ponies that are available for Adoption.

The Manipuri Pony, also known as Meitei Sagol, is one of the seven recognized horse and pony breeds of India. Historically, the Pony was used for warfare and Polo.
But over the years, the population of Manipuri Pony has declined drastically from 1,898 in 2003 to only 1,089 in 2019, leading to the breed being declared Endangered by the Manipur government in 2013.

The Manipuri Ponies need your help today.

Did you know that India (Manipur) is the birthplace of Mordern Polo?
And it was on the back of these beautiful endangered breed that the game was First Played.

"If you don't want us to be a part of the country, we'll go with our land somewhere!" - Seilen Haokip to News9.

Questions:
Which land is he talking about?
Where is he threatening to go?

The last time I checked, he is not even indigenous to Manipur. His origin is Myanmar, and he got his last name from her mother's second husband, P Haokip (Chief of Saitu). As for his community leaving India, can we help pack their bags, please? Peace will prevail with their EXIT.

How Can We, Especially the Manipuri Diaspora, Help Protect the Ponies and Safeguard Their Legacy?

Who Owns the Manipuri Ponies and Who Keeps Their Legacy Alive?
#SaveManipuriPony

[Manipuri Pony - Champion of a Legacy @Help2SavePony]

Manipuri ponies were traditionally semi wild, they roamed freely in the open grasslands, forests, and wetlands of Manipur, largely independent but occasionally interacting with humans for specific purposes, such as during festivals, rituals, or in polo matches. (1/x)
