What Is Polo? - Polo Demystified

 

All You Need To Know About Polo Sport, The Game of Kings... and Queens

Warning: If you get confused easily, you don't have to read the Intro part in italics. You may please scroll down and keep reading from after the photo :)

​

Polo is about sitting, eating and drinking, and, most critically, eating and drinking at the same time, while sitting. Does it make sense? No? Ok let's try again.

​

It is about horses and balls and sharply dressed players, and of course, music and after-parties, sometimes even fashion shows and other entertaining displays. Simply put, it is about Dubai, and London, and Miami, and Los Angeles, and Ibiza, and Switzerland, and Argentina, and St. Tropez. Makes sense this time?

​

Here, though, is what Polo is not about: it is not about making small talk with people you barely know. It is not about checking out random dudes or chics, who by all estimations won’t be around for the next Polo season. It is not about making drinks for other people, unless those drinks happen to be beer, or those people happen to have brought over a picnic basket full of goodies, including beer. It is not about “networking.” It is not about “dressing to impress.” It is not about “trying to get that girl’s number.”

 

And it is certainly, under absolutely no circumstances, about standing up, or, to be more specific, about not having a comfortable place to sit down, usually on the lawn.

​

But it can also be about all these things mentioned above, and more. Still confused? Like, we're actually now getting confused trying to confuse you. Just kidding, ok let's start over, seriously...
