BA in History at St. Stephen's College New Delhi
Following a childhood in Abohar India, Satish Seemar sucessfully completed his BA in History at St. Stephen's College New Delhi.
Satish moved to the United States to begin his equine education at the famous SHASTA colege in California in the year of 1984. After one year he gained a Diploma in Horse Husbandry and went on to study at Cal Poly san Louis Obispo, California to stury animal science. There, he specialised in Equine science.
This course included a 3 month assignment to Colorado State University, Fort Collins to study a specialised course in Equine Artificial Insemination. There Satish caught the eye of world famous horseman Monty Roberts. Roberts invited Satish to work alongside him and gain hands on experience in horse psychology. The work with Monty influenced his career immensely and until this day, Monty and Satish remain close friends. They currently meet on a yearly basis to utilize, discuss and exchange the latest research, achievements and discoveries of equine science.
I have had a long and gratifying career in the horse industry and have known Satish for the past 25 years now as both a friend and pupil. Helping young people has been one of the most satisfying aspects of that career and Satish Seemar ranks high on the list of rewards I've received.
Good horses can certainly bring pride to one. People however, can even bring one a greater sense of pride. When I consider who Satish is and what he has done, it is point of pride with me virtually unequalled.

The project started by designing, developing and constructing the famous Zabeel Racing Stables in Dubai. Satish visited all 5 continents and their racing facilities to get an overview of the best and most superior concepts in the racing industry. The Stables are set in unique surroundings with outstanding training facilities for both thoroughbred and Arabian racehorses.
Emirates Racing Association and the establishment of world class horse racing started from the drawing boards of Zabeel Stables.
