Deffinately a first for me, we were invited along to a polo match (w00t) 8) not something ive ever done before and the lure of the hospitality tent was too much so i had to go along.

I couldnt believe the condition of the ponies...they were fantastic.....and the cost of some of those horses were (w00t) (w00t) (w00t) ...unbelievable!!!!!.

You should of come Gin Pit! (w00t) Lots of sweaty men working hard on rollering the track, Sam, Maddy, Robyn & Ruby rolling around in the mud while me & Vicky 'supervised' over some black cherry Archers. Classy birds! :lol: :cheers:

Highlight of the day- Tony impaling himself on a tree

(w00t) 8) lol @ tony, maddy did mention he'd walked into a tree but i didnt take her seriously.

so i had the choice of sweaty gin pit "hunks" or the juans & nico's of the polo world...........hmmmmm tricky one.

After years of reading jilly cooper novels (polo, riders etc) i can understand why the rich bored housewives in the books :lol: run off with the argentinian horse trainers lol

B&M in ashton!(make a detour on your way home from work!) o

 

[michelle]

black cherry archers does sound lovely (must look out for that one :cheers: )

Is there an offside rule in polo? i did learn that you dont stomp on a divvit if it steams :x and that each rounds a chukka (w00t)

 

[wild whippies]

Yeah it's a bit like football only they don't muddy their whites (hence the horses and big sticks)

Personally I like men to get low down & dirty! (w00t) :lol:
