I'm going to vehemently defend Polo here. Yes the majority of players are wealthy, but that's because you need to be able to afford horsey equipment. It takes a hell of a lot of skill to control the horse and wield the mallet (more than I can muster, because I'm pretty poor and very much just make up the numbers when I've played) and is played the world over.

While polo may traditionally be a sport of the rich, one does not have to be rich to play. I have a friend who is very involved with polo and she's not overly wealthy.
It is a kickass fun time though. If I thought my horse would tolerate me swinging a mallet near his head, I'd be all over polo. Too much fun !

You should have a look round your area, most polo clubs do a training day and it is hilarious with everybody starting from scratch. Plus when you're on the horse and trying to play, you can feel it thinking "what the hell is this schmuck doing?! Where is my professional?" Well that's what they feel like to me anyway ;D |

It's REALLY expensive, and why I've never owned a whole horse. The Argentinian team is probably the best internationally, and the team is a mix of very wealthy and those from poor backgrounds with huge sponsors. The teams I know in the UK are probably 70-30, 80-20 between wealthy and sponsored. I've not met many unpleasent people in Polo either, it's a very friendly sport. |

Well that's what they feel like to me anyway ;D Tequila would probably try to eat the mallet. He's not a spooky horse, but he's not that handy either. Forword moving plow, not at all agile. He's also go power brakes and if we were running down and he decided to stop .. I'd be gone right up over his head. |
