Polo


Polo is the most posh sport around. Not only are the players deceivingly good looking they look like they walked straight out of a Ralph Lauren catalog, with shaggy naturally highlighted hair and bronzed skin and often times bright blue eyes polo matches are also fun to watch. I like admiring the strong horses and the swiftness and control in which the players handle them. But more than anything I like going to watch the people. The extremely elegant, put together people that I only thought existed in the movies.

These are the people that television shows about high society people are based off of. A friend of mine was telling me that each polo player owns at least 25 horses and that each horse costs roughly half a million dollars, sans sponsorship. So basically polo is a sport that the elite can play because they love it and are willing to fork out the dough to compete FOR FUN.

  1. Is this a photo from BA or from Bryn Du on a Sunday? You didn't have to fly 10,000 miles; you could have stayed right here in little ol' Granville to watch polo, Em!
