Polo
ponies take a lot more training and by that I mean schooling/ education rather
than conditioning / riding, than endurance horses. In addition it is a sport
where a rider truly needs multiple horses, hence the higher
prices.
I am fitting up a horse for a 9 goal tournament next month who has
completed the OD 100 and a one star three day event. My son is planning to play
the mare who was top junior horse in the NE in 2003. Not
Arabs. Libby

Ha! Well now that my daughter
is on the OSU Polo team...
Yep, it is put as many as you can
stuff into a stock trailer! But they all go to the motel rooms and out
to eat! What a shock they had when Amber came along...told them no way
was she affording that, she would bring her food and stay in the horse trailer
if she had to!
Their horses are professional teams'
has beens...none are off the track and they all know how to play the
game. Most of them are QH. I don't think an Arab would do well in
polo, as part of the game the horse bumps the other horse...don't think Arabs
would be into that!
Bless her heart, she was so
frustrated that she had to choose polo over an endurance ride next
weekend! Tough choice!

BTW, intercolligate polo is played in
an arena..much slower than field polo.
