How fast can a polo horse go?
Polo horses are generally thoroughbreds retired from the racetrack. On a full gallop they can reach speeds of over 30 miles an hour. It’s a dangerous, impact sport.
Do the fans cheer in polo?
The fans do more than just cheer, too.In between the third and fourth chukkar, there’s a short half-time. That’s when fans are encouraged to step onto the field of play, and stomp the divots made by the horses and the mallets. Stomping the divots helps put the field back together, and also makes the ball roll more consistently. Judy Meredith has been coming to watch polo in Bliss for three years.
