The third regiment of the Sind Horse was a very short lived regiment of the Indian Army, being raised in 1857 and disbanded in 1882. 

The regiment's seminal action was the debacle of 'Maiwand' where they incurred an estimated 14 men killed and 5 wounded together with 40 horses killed and 9 wounded. After the disaster at Maiwand the hapless Commanding Officer of the regiment was (together with the CO of the 3rd Bombay Cavalry) arrested for trial by Court-Martial (both of the Commanding Officers were subsequently honourably acquitted in 1881).
