The Attributes of a Good Polo Pony



Speed, intelligence and agility by themselves, do not make a good polo pony. He must be clever. He must be able to dodge and swerve while going full speed, and to wheel and turn on the proverbial dime. Besides this, he must be able to follow the ball, and instinctively put his rider in a good position to hit it. He must be completely steady and unaffected by the waving mallets and yelling crowds. In addition, and no less important, he must have much courage, and not flinch from contact, sometimes violent, with another mount.

She Does Exist!!





Its time to introduce the $500 polo pony. Laura's Summer, fondly known as EVA. A Virginia bred TB foaled on June 2, 1992. Sire: Majesty's Prince whose career earnings were over 2 million dollars! We have owned Eva for 3 years, and she is a wonderful polo pony (esp. in the arena) and trail horse.
