Synopsis

As to Polo offers practical, veteran guidance for faster, safer polo progress. In this nonfiction guide, a longtime polo player shares observations and lessons drawn from years on the field, focusing on building solid fundamentals and smarter play. The book foregrounds three key elements—horsemanship, hitting, and team strategy—and shows how they fit together in real matches.

Written to help beginners and players without access to elite teams, it stresses regular practice, safety, and clear decision making. It also highlights how to understand the game’s rhythm, avoid common mistakes, and read the field to keep up with fast, dynamic play.

• Learn the three core skills that nearly every excellent polo player builds into habitual, reliable practice.


• See how right of way and spacing affect team performance and how to position yourself on the field.


• Discover practical tips to avoid dangerous riding and common fouls, with concise guidelines you can memorize.


• Explore ideas for polo pony management and training that could reshape how you approach the sport.

Ideal for readers of polo who want clear, actionable guidance and realistic expectations for skill development.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from As to Polo

This little book was first written in very busy days in the Philippine Islands and sent out with a good deal of hesitation, as the author was in doubt as to the correctness of many of his conclusions and as to the reception that such a book would receive. It has been received so cordially that this fourth edition is now complete and is offered to polo players.

The first edition contained many errors and was shortly replaced by a second, the supply of which was exhausted late in 1918. During the war no effort was made to print a third edition and a few remaining copies of the first were used to supply the unexpected large demand this winter and spring. The third edition contains a small amount of new matter, numerous corrections, some additional comment, and one additional diagram. The chapter on rules is mostly new. Although out of date for this edition, the introduction has been left, except for certain verbal changes, as written for the earlier editions.

The author thought at first of calling the book A Polo Primer, as an indication that it was intended only for beginners, but it seems to have meta fairly general demand and is, I believe, in use by army players and members of several of the newer polo clubs.
