They weren’t just horses. They were war machines.In this episode of Simply Wild, we uncover how two wildly different breeds, the loyal Marwari and the fast, powerful Turkic warhorses, rewrote the fate of Indian kingdoms. From Maharana Pratap's brave steed Chetak to Babur’s thunderous cavalry, we track how hooves redrew borders and dethroned emperors.

This is not just a story of animals in history, it's the story of how horsepower literally shaped the rise and fall of empires.
