The '''Deccan Horse''' was the successor of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments of the [[Hyderabad Contingent]]. In 1903 they became the '''[[20th Deccan Horse]] ''' and the '''[[29th Lancers (Deccan Horse)]] ''' respectively. The regiments were amalgamated in 1922 to form the Royal Deccan Horse (9th Horse) which changed to The Deccan Horse (9 Horse) on Indian independence.
