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.

Artistic Creativity

Yesterday, Tom was looking out of the bedroom window and saw a rainbow of colors on the roof of our tool shed. Upon closer inspection, he realized each of the colored items was actually a horse grooming tool. After washing a bunch of brushes, combs, etc; I had set them on the shed roof to dry. Maybe I'll leave them there, and get an early start on holiday decorating!
