"The speed of a thoroughbred,
the grace of a marwari,
and blood that runs as fine as the desert sands
on which they were born upon."

Breed Information
Tezari is an older breed from various regions of India that was originally a cross of Marwari and imported Thoroughbreds in an attempt to make a faster, bigger version of the Marwari. The name Tezari comes from the Hindu word "tez," which means fast, and the original breed Marwari. The are a hardy breed and known for their good stamina along with their speed, and their characteristic curved ears that touch at the tips. The are usually 13-16 hands high.
Because they were so prized during the beginning of the breed's development, with the expense of having English Thoroughbreds imported and bred to the best Marwaris, Tezari horses had a specific custom done to their manes and tails. Once the horse was matured enough to have a full-length tail, two bands were wrapped around them, usually in shades of red or gold. As time progressed, bands allowed for more colors when dyes became more easily acquired, and can come in any color but still usually follow the red or gold tradition. Manes between a few longer strands at the withers all the way their poll were cropped, except on stallions. Mares have fully cropped manes excluding the strands at the withers and their forelocks. Stallions have a section of their mane at the top that, once about the length of the neck, is braided very tightly, a band at each end the same color as their tail's bands, and left to grow out further beyond that as they matured.
If a stallion's braid is cut, ripped, or unraveled, it is considered a bad omen and it is likely they won't use that stallion for breeding anymore. A Tezari stallion, when they pass away, are usually buried with their mane braids still intact.
Colorations
Tezari come in many colors of any red or black base. Dun genes are strongly present in the breed, and the cream and gray genes are also known and somewhat common. Tezari, like the Marwari, also commonly come with a tobiano pinto pattern. Sabino patterns are also known, as well as rarely some splash. Currently, overo is quite rare but is slowly being introduced into the breed. There is no appaloosa ancestry to Tezari and thus appaloosa pattern genes are not present. Roans and champagnes are uncommon but known. To date, there has never been a chimeric Tezari recorded, as it is not related to genetics, and likely never will be unless a mare conceives twins that combine in the womb, such as with any chimeric horse.
