Harpreet said that he rides Pratap Roop and travels from his house to the fields on horseback. Whenever he leaves his farm with the horse, a crowd gathers to see Pratap Roop and enjoy his graceful moves.
Pratap Roop doesn’t only have a caring owner but has a dedicated team to look after him round the clock.

After his bath, Pratap Roop receives an oil massage lasting one hour daily to soothe his muscles and enhance his shine. His hair is groomed daily to ensure he remains the centre of attention for the crowds that flock to see him every day.
The horse lives on a sprawling, private farm spanning one and a half acres, giving him enough space to roam about freely.
Pratap Roop’s nutrition again is managed through meticulous planning, the focus being on strength and vitality. His day starts with a heavy breakfast of 2 to 3 kg of black chickpeas.
During the colder months, he enjoys boiled milk mixed with crushed almonds. The horse is fond of apples, which are served to him as a special treat twice a week. For sustained energy he is regularly fed boiled barley.
This top class grooming and luxurious diet helped this 28-month-old stallion win the "Two-Tooth Beauty Competition." More than 20 horses from Haryana and Punjab participated in the competition at the fair but Pratap Roop achieved this feat by surpassing them all.
