Fabulous, I hope mr cat will share this on the discussion "best polo player of all times". Many clips showing the polo, players and ponies of the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and so on.

I agree, especially if it is possible to dissect the films to determine who is playing, what are the stakes, etc. etc. etc.  Overall I am very impressed with the quality of the horses and the players.

Hi, this is truly GREAT.

-  for me, as I am still new to the game – it is a fantastic introduction to Polo history.

Thank you!
