Nacho and the Sport of Polo

Nacho is a pro Polo player from Argentina. This picture was taken at the Hampton Polo Event in Bridghampton. I had interviewed him for http://www.sexysassysmart.tv/ and will be uploaded soon!
The sport originated in China, but was not established with rules until 1856, when John Watson (1856-1908), formulated the real rules of the game in India. It was not until 1890, when the United States Polo Association ( USPA), was founded. It was designed to promote and supervise the sport. It is a wonderful sport, but known to be expensive and dangerous.

Before You Ride the Polo Pony, This is What You Have to Do!

This picture was taken at the Southampton Hunt and Polo Club. This is what you do for the first lesson. Before you get on the Polo Pony, you have to learn how to hold and swing the mallet. It is a class to teach you how to get used to swinging before you go out in the field and play. The mallet ranges in size between 48" and 54 ," and is lighter for the women. The length depends on the size of the pony.

2 Polo Ponies Waiting to Play Polo

These 2 polo ponies were taking a break until the rider is ready to go out an play polo. This was taken at the Hampton Polo event. It should be pointed out that these are really horses, and they are commonly thoroughbreds or TB crosses. The size is between 14.2 and 16 hands. The polo player needs 4-8 ponies. They are trained at the age of 3 years for 6 months to 2 years. They are that their peak at 6-7 years old. In case you are wondering about their tails; they are docked and braided so they don't snag the rider's mallet.
