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.

Bay Egyptian Mare

The following description is of an Arabian that is/was in a broker's lot in PA. As I have said many times, ANY horse can end up taking the one-way trip to Canada or Mexico. It doesn't matter how valuable, talented, attractive or loved a horse may be, it is still $300 in a killbuyers pocket.Here is a link to an old photo and a current video of her at the brokers lot

Tahnmara - Bay Egyptian Arabian mare FOALED: 1998
2008 this mare commanded a donation price of $100,000.00 now the first week of 2012 she was sold through auction. This beautiful horse was a rare gift to Best Buddies to benefit their foundation and help them reach their goal of enhancing the lives of those with intellectual disabilities. Don't miss your chance to own this horse and contribute to a wonderful cause.
Tahnmara is an Imported Straight Egyptian Mare by Qahtahn, a rare homozygous black Stallion. She is the granddaughter of Moniet al Saharaf, who set a record for the highest Egyptian Arabian stallion syndication in 1986 at $10 Million Dollars. She is directly related to the immortal Ibn Moniet El Nefous, a U.S. Top 10 Halter Stallion, Scottsdale Champion stallion, and multi English Champion who himself sired 11 National winners. Her dams sire, Imperial Immarouf, National Champion Stallion of Uruguay and Argentina - was out of Glorieta Maarqesa - U.S. National Top Ten Futurity Filly exported to Al Shaqab Stud in Qatar in 1993. Tahnmara is a descendant of U.S. National Futurity Champion Dalul, a son of the infamous Egyptian imports Morafic and Dawlat.
This mare was shown from 2001-2003. She took first in an AOTH Halter class at the NY State Fair. She has had five owners, and shows up as never having had a foal. She is so cute and sweet looking. Nice pedigree - has some lines to Babson in there - always a good thing.
