When You Have DOGS IN THE AUDIENCE STANDS Watching a Polo Match

We love the game of Polo not just for its classy and regal appeal but simply because it is an outdoor sport where dogs are allowed! Where, shiny horses ridden by suave players chase a ball with their mallets over grassy fields in an attempt to score a goal against the opponent. It is the perfect example of how men and animals can be so much in sync. The coordination is a test of a rider’s equestrian skills and agility of a thoroughbred horse. The event that celebrates the vigor and vivacity of horses, a.k.a the polo ponies also acknowledges the puppy love of its patrons.  No wonder players and audience alike are allowed to bring their pet dogs to witness the spectacular sporting sensibilities and root for their favorite team.

The sport is played across 16 countries in a professional way. It is very interesting to know that the modern polo game first surfaced in Manipur, India. The world’s oldest polo ground is the Imphal Polo Ground in Manipur. However the original game in its traditional form was invented in Persia around the 6^th century B.C.
