Re: [RC] [RC] Polo "Ponies", foxhunting, economics - Juli JakubI have played polo and been a polo groom. It is an amazing game and I wish I could have done it more. However I was horrible! I have no hand eye coordination when it comes to making the mallet connect with that ball...I was whiffing all the time. But what fun to gallop up and down the field riding other players off the ball...bumping, turning, and full out again. It is intense and does take alot of training for both horses and rider. When I was a groom I spent most of my time short tracking the string of ponies. basically running them up and down and praticing roll backs, stops, quick changes of direction ect. It was fun!<html><DIV> <P>Juli Jakub</P> <P>The Air of Heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.</P> <P>~ arabian proverb</P></DIV></html> Boy, what a picture! And what a picture of what would be required for polo. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
