The Polo Season

The Polo Season is well underway don’t miss the New Zealand Tour on the 2nd and 5th of May. 
Matches always draw large crowds with children being especially delighted by the spectacle, and by the majesty of the horses and the skill of the riders, as the players and their horses charge up and down the field to score points by hitting the ball into goal.

Origins of the Game
Originating in Persia, polo continued to be a sport played by many in Iran until the Iranian Revolution. Often called the Sport of Kings, polo is formally played in 16 countries. Despite its long heritage, it is not an Olympic sport.

Two versions of polo are played today; the traditional form, Field polo, has four riders per team and is played on a field up to 300 yards long by 160 yards wide. Arena polo, played in an arena, has a smaller field and sees three riders to a team.
Play is divided in periods called chukkas. In Barbados, an 8-chukka match is played with each chukka being 7 minutes long.

Making the sport even more astonishing is that the riders must control their mounts with one hand at a gallop while trying to strike the ball with their mallet.

The Game
Riders charge up and down the field striking the small wooden ball, 3 to 3 and a half inches in diameter, with a long-handled mallet. Goals are scored by knocking the ball through goal posts. A rider must stay mounted for his goal to count.
