Gifting thoroughbreds to grooms becomes a fad (the video is loading, may take long. Please bear with us...)

A new trend has emerged in India's northern Ludhiana city of Punjab where expat marriages are not just marked by an ostentatious display of opulent Rolls Royce and choppers, but even thoroughbreds. Gifting thoroughbreds to bridegrooms during marriages is fast becoming a status symbol in India's northern Punjab. In most NRI marriages, people splurge on horses to flaunt their extraordinary purchasing power. And it is a reason enough to rejoice as the trend has given boost to the equine business.
