Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Polo has been experiencing a comeback recently. The "sport of kings" is shedding its old image and now trying to become the sport of all men--and women. This comprehensive primer has everything you need to know to learn how to play polo, or just enjoy it. Beginning with a summary of the history of polo, it continues with description of the basics of play, equipment, and choice of ponies; discusses team play and advanced strategies; and ends with a section on polo clubs, etc. The authors, both noted horsemen, have produced a clear, concise how-to that will appeal to both novice and experienced player, as well as all who enjoy horses, whether they wish to play or not. Recommended for libraries with equine or large sports collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact Guide to Polo, May 12, 1997
By A Customer
The Polo Primer, as the name suggests, is an introductory guide to polo. It traces the game's history, from its origins in ancient military training to the games of modern times. Equipment, horse selection, learning the strokes, playing as a team, and how to get involved with polo are all covered. My rating of a 9 was based on the length (around 100 pages); I would have preferred a more detailed work. However, a lengthy volume might put off many new comers, whereas this book is the right size for the person deciding whether or not to get into polo
