EQUESTRIAN POLO

For those who are new to polo, it is a game of central Asian origin played on horseback with two teams of four players. Each of the polo players uses mallets with long and flexible handles to control and hit the ball down a lush grass field between two goal posts. The team with the most number of scores wins the game.

Also, polo is the oldest of all the equestrian sports recorded throughout history.
