Love of Horses

Love of Horses
Jathedar Baba Maan Singh Ji 96 Crori Budha Dal mounted on a horse at the Farmers Protest

Nihung Singhs keep a lot of love for horses. 6ve Paatshah Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Maharaj lovingly referred to their horses as Jaan-Bhai (Beloved/Life-Brother).  
Bhai Nand Lal Ji’s Tankhah Namah contains the following bachans:
ਖਾਲਸਾ ਸੋ ਜੋ ਚੜਹਿ ਤੁਰੰਗ॥
ਖਾਲਸਾ ਸੋ ਜੋ ਕਰਹਿ ਨਿਤ ਜੰਗ॥

Kalgidhar Maharaj Ji has additional Bachans. The person who is worthy of horse seva must have a lot of Bhagti or been Blessed by Vaheguru otherwise.
ਘੋੜੇ ਦਾਸ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਕੇ, ਭਗਤਿ ਦਾਦਨੀ ਪਾਂਊ ॥(ਘੋੜੇ ਰਾਜਪੂਤ, ਖਾਸ ਦਸਮ ਦੀ ਬੀੜ)

Nihung Singhs carry out the seva of horses with a lot of affection and love for Guru Sahib in mind. A lot of Missions(morchay) are begun by feeding horses chholay (grams), If the horse does a hard-exhale (funkaar), Nihung Singhs see it as being a good sign. In Chakravarti Dals (nomadic forces), Singhs conduct horseshoe fitting (khakharna), massage and other sevas with great devotion. When a horse leaves its body, Nihung Singhs grieve with the same pain as if a Singh had ascended. There were instances when a horse would leave its body during the time of Jathedar Baba Bishan Singh Ji (Tarna Dal’s 12th Jaanasheen). Baba Ji would have a Nishaan Sahib raised in the horse’s memory.

Let us learn horsemanship as comes with being members of the Khalsa!
Do ardaas for seva and vidhya of horse training. We must practice these traditions in order to be tyaar ber tyaar (Ever Battle-Ready).
What does daas know? I can only do this writing seva and this is even done ungracefully. Please forgive for mistakes and do send daas corrections.
