sooooo.....did you get the polo team to come to texas and do a texan equine competition? and guns...there has to be a shooting competition too XD i want to see ultra "british" polo players try to use a lasso while riding
One of the hardest things about these cowboys playing this sport is the saddles. Cowboy saddles, or 'Western Saddles' are built for comfort and security vs English Saddles, or those used for polo are built for agility. It's a completely different feel, the cowboys kicked ass!
English saddles are probably derived from the millitary saddles used by lancers light calverymen. It's designed to stab or cut people dwn from saddleback. American saddles are designed for gunfighting and work. When we need agile saddles, we just use English designs, otherwise tlstability and comfort are far more important
I'm from Texas and we get tornadoes all the time in the panhandle that's the northernmost part that just sticks up hurricanes enter the Gulf in the summer
Edit: Great video, the ending was great! You should do a fundraiser for this community, since they helped create your video. These communities are disappearing cause of corporate greed, this might be the last generation of cowboys.
There are many polo teams here! My sons are National Interscholastic and intercollegiate polo champions. Check out the powerhouse university of north texas polo program. Back to back wins. They train at Prestonwood.
My brothers Dan is a self confessed cowboy with Scopophobia; if I had any money (I don't) I would pay good money to see him on RUclips playing polo in England.
I was disappointed that the cowboys didn't get to ride their own horses and tack but had to get to know strange horses in the same day- cutting horses and reining horses would have absolutely SMASHED at polo. Polo players had an unfair advantage! REMATCH!!!!!
I think it was done for safety reasons. Their horses might not be used to the mallets being swung everywhere and polo horses tend to get really close to eachother. Nor would a western saddle be really helpful given it's size it would probably have been in the way
Great idea but very dangerous. Polo ponies actually know the game. It takes years to train a horse to play but once they learn, they are amazing. If you can stay on the horse, the horse will take you to the play. I was so surprised when I first started taking lessons!
Indeed. And im sure the rein holding and cues are different on those polo ponys as well. Would have been more fair if they had a lesson about that as well.
What is UP with those fingers!!? Too much pudding? Or severe fluid retention?? Mine look like that after carrying 25kg in each hand all day long without a break, even then, they're not THAT bad... What the hell!?? I'm concerned for his health! Have they always been that way?? 🤔😟
@@the.dirt.man.don't worry, American accents do the same to me. Especially when you walk past me on the street, why do you all have to speak so loud? Literally chalk to the ears. Don't even want to mention that bloody "ohh myyy gawwwwdddd"
From "I was in the SAS fighting in combat against US Marines" to "I served a professional food critic and my sister roadkill" just a normal story for Max
It was nice to see that the cowboys took this challenge seriously and weren't just horsing around. While I wanted Max Fosh polo club fc to be the dark horse in this competition, they unfortunately lost, but they took it in a stride
My grandfather helped start the Cheyenne Wyoming Polo club in 1932 , with cowboys playing polo with Army officers from the Eastern US stationed in the Area. It’s an inspired idea Max.
Fair enough. But, to be honest, I think Max was just making reference to the abnormality of it from an English perspective. We don’t really do guns in general 😅
@@SabrinaRodi Yes, the British don't do guns in general, but Max is seriously posh, probably went to boarding school and they are well used to guns for hunting pheasants and deer stalking, even clay pigeon shooting. Not to mention most public (that means private schools in the UK, weird I know) have Army cadets linked with them and most students fire guns on army ranges with the army guns. This is in order to train most future army oficers, as 90% of those come from boarding schools also. Sure not quite as much as Americans, but he will have been around plenty of guns for sure. He's saying things for jokes and effect
Max- next time you're up to shenanigans in the states, if a southern american shows off a gun in a friendly way like that, say "nice!" and you'll gain friendship points with them. Yknow, like in the sims. Also, instead of scones, tell them there will be cornbread. If possible, offer brisket. You may find greater success in recruiting this way.
People think cowboys are only from Texas but there are many states that are home to cowboys. Montana, on the opposite end of the country, has a large ranching industry
Imagine if you had gotten barrel racers. They might not have been able to hit the ball but a horse trained for that would out turn a polo horse in such tight quarters.
I know it started as a laugh, but this actually was a really great video Max. Ended with a big smile on my face, they seemed to enjoy themselves doing something new that also still involved their skillset. I bet you if you go back in 12 months those guys carry polo mallets(?) to kill time. Riding around and hitting something with a stick is probably hard to resist when you already have the horses
I would legitimately watch a feature length film, ideally by Tim Firth, about a working class kid who got in on scholarship to a posh school but is shunned from the Polo team. Because of a quirk in the posh school bylaws (it is actually a number of colleges assembled into a single school, and one college which only exists to deliver a single cheap course as a tax avoidance scheme) he is able to start a polo team for one of the pretend college, enroll a bunch of unique folks such as cowboys, someone riding an enormous shire horse for work, a rodeo clown bullrider (because the rules for the polo competition technically allow bulls), a jouster from a LARPing group. At some point the posh team would enlist a matador to try and counter the rodeo clown, who would be in full makeup at all times also.
Going to the Fort Worth Stock Yards to find a cowboy is like going to Disney World to find a princess.. yeah maybe there's one there. You should have gone to the rodeo. Barrel riders would destroy posh polo boys.
@@mateobarkey7883 some origins of a similar game come from raiding parties trying to steal food/livestock while on horseback. Also from practicing and challenging other military cavalry and horseback technique. Turning it into a game to practice Thier skills and decide who's best.
@@choomah ya, you talking about the one with the soccor ball with hangles? I know polo originated in the middle east in small mountain villages, eventually being adopted by occupying British cavalry as a training exercise, officers eventually spread it throught the empire leaving us the game we have today. ALTHOUGH funny enough original polo was played with 8 players per team and they where allowed to hit eachother with the mallets lol
@@mateobarkey7883 for the raiding party version I was thinking of the version with the goat 😅 But yeah, it's evolved independently in different regions, but the version most recognised as 'Polo', like you say adopted by the British for it's use as both a past time and development of horseback skill. Hence it's prestige in England at least. But to go in something mentioned above, how it's either extreme wealth or poverty classes that play. I wonder if any amount of crossover come not only from the practice of playing out "a raid" but also from emulation of higher class. Like "The rich play this, so play this sport not others. It's more classy than football/soccer." Sort of like making your kid dress nice, speak "proper". And so on 🤔
You could introduce it to colombias vaqueros, they have nice hats. Or to the Wayuus of colombia. Idk if they still ride horses Edit: they also have very nice hats and cloths
I just want to say thank you for unlocking a memory I didn’t know I had. My grandparents were in Texas in Dallas when they were alive. And I visited this place with my grandpa (Texas stock yard). As soon as I saw those cows my memory clicked and I remembered the gunshot. Thank you for the nostalgia. I was like 10 at that time. I remember my brother got a cowboy hat. Also I bought a stone small wolf from the gift shop. I should go back.
Polo is not the oldest sport in the world.... if you add the world "team" then it is 2nd or 3rd but versions of Mesoamerican ballgame like Ulama have been around 500 years longer.

But come back in late September for the state fair and try all the wild fried foods we got
