@@conniewolf7300 different culture. They are not treated like pets and they seem to be semi wild until they are ridden. Never stabled or cuddled it seems.

@@geraldblair5084 Around 13-14 hands. I can tell from the different polo sticks we used too. We played polo on the horses at this club. The polo sticks are around 6 -7 inches shorter than normal. Normally polo ponies are 15 hands to 15.3.

Wood has no give....very uncomfortable for horse and rider, I would think! But it's their way, their custom.

@@conniewolf7300 they did have a thick leather blanket underneath, and a few numnahs. One of the herders said that if the horse booked they could stay on easier. Also what's strange is that the stirrups were not adjustable, so one tall guy had extremely short looking stirrups. Maybe it's just tradition and pride 😃

Your mom is a good player! Say hi to her from us in Hong Kong! Do you ride or play polo?

Yes you're right! Thanks!

Wow, that would be me! Maybe one day we can play a chukka together. What's your handicap and where do you play?

@@energy101 that's you? I have the same helmet and gopro. I play at Brandywine polo club in Pennsylvania. I don't have a grass uspa handicap yet since our group only plays on it occasionally for now. But I have a -1 arena handicap. You guys look great. Everyone played well.

@@pfcjev in HK we don't have any polo facilities so we have to fly out and play in Asia. We try to do the HK Beginners cup every year and give more HK people a motive to learn polo. Hopefully one day there'll be a polo club in HK.

@@pfcjev how long have you played for?

@@energy101 I just play a little bit... just two chukkers maybe once a week in the summers, since 2016. Nothing super serious, I don't have my own horse.

What's wrong with a bit? Hard to ride any pony without a bit :)

@@energy101 I was taught to ride a horse with a bit when I was little the horse tommy forced me to do that u don't want a bit on ur mouth if u were a horse u have no right to use a bit on a horse

@@energy101 if this place called horseback riding 🌎 that believe in bits go to hell

Yes Ahmed, they had a great tournament. Improved so much. Taylor was great on day 2 also!

Yes it is!

She stick and balled the next day. Does not ride anymore and never played a chukka. However I will send you links of her stick and balling (hitting at trot) and fellow Hong Kong beginners who trained and played first tournament for first time after around 6 months. Hong Kong has no polo facilities so we had to fly out to practice!

ruclips.net/video/3co0K15w0v8/видео.html A video of a complete Hong Kong beginner learning to ride and compete in polo tournament 6 months later in 2018. Can be done with expert trainers and safe horses!
