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.

On a Mission


Sorry I haven't posted in over 2 weeks. I am currently in PA on a rescue mission. Picking-up a bay TB polo horse. She was spotted in a Kill-Pen at the New Holland Horse Auction. Has a "lovely" USDA inspection sticker on her rump. Shame on whoever sent her to this HELL. Will tell you the entire story when I return to my regular computer, instead of my laptop!!!
