Polo, The Game of Rough and Tumble for Riders and Horses

Prince Harry is in the centre of a storm this week after his Polo horse was gashed by Prince Harry’s spurs during a Polo Match. Pictures of the injured horse, have earned him a nasty nickname of Dirty Harry! Animal Aid have criticised Prince Harry, saying “Polo is a rough game, and causes stress” to these powerful horses. Palace Officials have suggested that the injury could have been from another rider. They have also confirmed that the horse was fine after the game.

Well, believe what you want this is a very fast and rough game, and its not only the horses that get injured, riders are very often left with cuts,grazes and broken bones.

During February 2011, the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London is collaborating with Gaucho, Sand Polo and the HPA – Polo’s governing body, and are performing the largest display of arena polo in the UK and is set to be the most exciting polo contest of 2011. Follow the highs and lows of the players as they romp around the Arena together, with over 12,000 spectators who will be enjoying a fast and furious high-goal tournament of the highest calibre.

This is the first event of its time, and promises to be a social and sporting highlight of the year.
