The Complete Guide to Polo is the perfect resource for anyone
interested in finding out more about this exciting game, especially
those new to the sport. It discusses the history and evolution of the
sport that we know today and its migration from India to Asia to Europe,
and finally the Americas. It describes in detail the equipment used by
both horse and rider, and offers advice on choosing one kind of
equipment over another. The book covers the horsemanship skills needed
to excel in the game, and breaks down the swing into bite-sized chunks
for analysis. It looks at basic polo strategy, explains the finer
aspects of the rules of the sport, and compares the differences between
the US and UK rule books. All in all it offers a great foundation for
the beginner or intermediate player, the patron, or the spectator.
