Murrah is originally from Punjab and Haryana states of India and Punjab province of Pakistan, but has been used to improve the milk production of dairy buffalo in other countries, such as Italy and Egypt. Then there is Aalishaan, a horse which is pampered with shampoo baths regularly. What makes this horse all the more special is that in January 2013 Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal was so impressed by the four-year-old horse that he offered to buy it for Rs 1.25 crore. However, Aalishaan's owner Harinder Singh simply refused to part with him. Aalishaan is 65 inches tall and is of Marwadi breed.

"The chief minister expressed his interest to buy him and even offered a price of Rs 1.25 crore. But we do not want to sell him; we have kept him for breeding," says Parjant Singh, brother of Harinder Singh.

Many people have offered to buy Aalishaan, on whom the family spends Rs 1,000 every day, at the agriculture summit but we have refused, he said. The family owns 20 horses in total.
