Social inclusion, no longer a sport solely for the noble and the wealthy.
The new game dramatically reduces the cost for teams and competitors.
Some of the worlds best polo players originate from Agentinian grasslands, the great but certainly not wealthy, Gauchos.
Gender Leveller
There is an arena polo ladies only game, however the mixed game gathers momentum in many countries with men and women playing on a level polo arena.
Many consider women have an advantage due to a closer more sensitive bond with the horse/ pony gained in training (and they don’t carry the heavy egos that burden many male riders! Maggi K).
