Horse running in the fields of Nakul Stud Farm in Gurgaon

Nakul stud farm in Haryana gets it's name from one of the characters of Mahabharat named Nakul (one of the five Pandava brothers). He was considered one of the best horse riders in mythology. Nakul Stud Farm located at village Kaderpur, the farm is blessed with a clean unspoiled environment, sweet mineral rich water and sandy loam soil.The summer temperature is about 40 degree c and winter almost 0 degree Celsius. The extreme climate produces tough horses, acclimatised for heat and cold. Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight response. Related to this need to flee from predators in the wild is an unusual trait: horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down. Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth. Most domesticated horses begin training under saddle or in harness between the ages of two and four. They reach full adult development by age five, and have an average lifespan of between 25 and 30 years. The stable is typically historically the second oldest building type on the farm. Free-standing stables began to be built from the 16th century. They were well built and placed near the house due to the value that the horses had as draught animals. High-status examples could have plastered ceilings to prevent dust falling through into the horses' eyes. Complete interiors -- with stalls, mangers and feed racks -- of the 19th century and earlier are rare. Historical stables in Great Britain had a hayloft on the first floor and a pitching door at the front. Doors and windows were symmetrically arranged. Interior was divided into stalls - a large stall was for a foaling mare or sick horse. The floors were cobbled, and later of brick, with drainage channels laid across the floors. Outside steps to the first floor were common for farm hands to live in the building.
