Polo is back, or at least that is Nacho Figueras's dream, as he leads the charge to bring the sport of kings back to the playing fields of America.

Polo will never be very popular in the US. It's probably the least accessible sport in the world simply because you have to be extremely wealthy in order to afford the basics.

@Grace-ie1fk 10 жыл бұрын

It's actually not too bad expense-wise. Or at least not anymore expensive than any other equestrian sport. You just need to have jeans, boots, and a helmet for lessons. So long as you can find a Polo club with lesson horses, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to play it.

@pml08usaf 10 жыл бұрын

Delta Wickham I agree with that. My point was more about the horses. Unless you're relatively wealthy, or the polo club offers significant discounts or free lessons, the horses (and thus the most important aspect of the sport) will remain well outside the reach of the average person. Polo will remain a sport for the ultra-wealthy.

Riding is all about the ultimate spiritual experience - It’s the separation of your consciousness (or soul, as some would call it) from your physical body. Yes, it's that cool. In fact, there are theories that claim you're already astral projecting when you sleep. Most of us just lose recollection of it when we awake. So the riding is being able to do this while being "conscious" of it. Rissala Polo Club.

Greetings to argentina and this champions! This is a traditional Iranian sport. There only historical evidances of this sport is only found in Persia, one evidance in Persia/Iran in bishapour, shiraz there are mountain carvings from Sasanian Persia era (200 A.D) in one scene it representing a polo site, at one side stands the imperial team of "Chogān" stading in lines vs one of his foes teams, which is one of his relatives. its said that the Iranian tribes used to battle eachother with the game of polo or buzkashi, to save their men and safe from casualties. Thats why its called "sport of kings" because it even been played by the kings of Persia to prove their might in the region. This sport came to europe only 200 years ago, while it been playing in Iran and central asia for over 2500 years, and in india for arround 1800-2000 years. Its important to know the history ,its not a british sport, culture of cavalry and horseback arts are one of the brightest Iranian identities ,and represents our culture and our background, polo have't been played in iran since the qajars ruled over Iran, its arround 100 years. But always been know to the people and was visible in the Iranian art and poetry. Its original name is infact "Chogān". Its funny that british came to the region 100 years ago forced most of nomadic people to settle down and, then you suddenly hear that british is playing our national game and representing it as a british game.

I think it depends on the area. If you're area is filled with horse ranches, then its definitely more accessible there. But if you're in my area where horses are really really rare, then you should be probably very rich to be even be able to play the sport. It does look cool though, very sad

This is Sagol Kangjei, the origins of modern-day polo. Legend has it that Manipur's deity-king Kangba invented the game in the 14th century BC, and that in 33 AD., deity-king Nongda Pakhangba organised the first polomatch. ...

Some saying polo has already been played in Persia..OK fine but all of you missed out a very crucial point that it was the British who set up the first modern polo club in British India after discovering the game sagol kangjei in manipur Manipuris didn't claim polo was invented by us but the British had it in their paper meaning we are the legal owner of the modern version which is why every year our hometown imphal is thronged with foreign crowds from Australia England and other commonwealth countries during the annual tournaments where we have our own manipur team vs the rest of world rather than being part of india team Persian theory is not reliable from modernist point of view its like saying aeroplane was born in india when we all know the Wright brothers are the official inventers.. well technically also Persian civilization was already destroyed by Alexander and their game already forgotten long back. It was just a theory not proof.

Lo que sin dudas ocurre es que si JUGÀS AL POLO PROFESIONALMENTE SEGURO NACISTE EN ARGENTINA, esto es asì porque ARGENTINA ES INVENCIBLE EN EL POLO, en eso ARGENTINA ES ÙNICA y ademàs es un GRAN ORGULLO porque el POLO es el DEPORTE MÀS EXCLUSIVO DEL MUNDO, ES EL DEPORTE DE LOS REYES Y SOLO LOS MULTIMILLONARIOS LO PUEDEN PRACTICAR EN UN BUEN NIVEL.

@ 06.30 in the presenter says that a racehorse peaks at 3 or 4, however, that is a VERY 'soft' comment: she seems to be thinking of Flat horses, only, which, individually, can 'peak' at any time,: for some, even when they're in double-figures. The comment, obviously, doesn't even admit the existence of Jumpers, many of which come from an earlier career as Flat horses. Presenters need to be up on this very basic knowledge of whichever subject they are broadcasting on.
