Description
This vintage book contains a complete guide to playing polo, with information on rules, strategy, training ponies, equipment, history, notable clubs, development, and more. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of the game, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: "Ancient Polo", "The Hurlington Club and its Influence on Polo", "The Ranlagh Club and the Expansion of Polo", "The Growth of Polo in London and the Provinces", "Regimental Polo", "The Training of the Pony", "Elementary Polo", "Tournament Polo and Team-Play", "Umpires and Referees", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on horses used for sport and utility.
