No, but... you kinda have to own a horse. Not cheap, right?

[@TheKara33]

These horses are incredible... Seeing that one mare's lead changes, I was astounded!! Not only are they so smooth and effortless, but the only aid he's using is he reins. That's just insane

[@equine2020]

I was lucky to own a polo pony. He was intelligent, quick, & brave. I fox hunted him. He didn't know what refusal was. At 27 he passed & buried at our place. He was my world. I've had others, but he was my heart.

Polo will never be very popular in the US. It's probably the least accessible sport in the world simply because you have to be extremely wealthy in order to afford the basics.

[@Grace-ie1fk]

It's actually not too bad expense-wise. Or at least not anymore expensive than any other equestrian sport. You just need to have jeans, boots, and a helmet for lessons. So long as you can find a Polo club with lesson horses, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to play it.

[@pml08usaf]

Delta Wickham I agree with that. My point was more about the horses. Unless you're relatively wealthy, or the polo club offers significant discounts or free lessons, the horses (and thus the most important aspect of the sport) will remain well outside the reach of the average person. Polo will remain a sport for the ultra-wealthy.

This is Sagol Kangjei, the origins of modern-day polo. Legend has it that Manipur's deity-king Kangba invented the game in the 14th century BC, and that in 33 AD., deity-king Nongda Pakhangba organised the first polomatch. ...

@@user-oo6qk2fj9h How do you know about it. Who told you ? Probably someone told you or you see. Anyone can claim it were it invented. But there should be some proof. Some saying polo has already been played in Persia..OK fine but all of you missed out a very crucial point that it was the British who set up the first modern polo club in British India after discovering the game sagol kangjei in manipur Manipuris didn't claim polo was invented by us but the British had it in their paper meaning we are the legal owner of the modern version which is why every year our hometown imphal is thronged with foreign crowds from Australia England and other commonwealth countries during the annual tournaments where we have our own manipur team vs the rest of world rather than being part of india team Persian theory is not reliable from modernist point of view its like saying aeroplane was born in india when we all know the Wright brothers are the official inventers.. well technically also Persian civilization was already destroyed by Alexander and their game already forgotten long back. It was just a theory not proof.

[@AjayAhlawatRissalaPolo]

Riding is all about the ultimate spiritual experience - It’s the separation of your consciousness (or soul, as some would call it) from your physical body. Yes, it's that cool. In fact, there are theories that claim you're already astral projecting when you sleep. Most of us just lose recollection of it when we awake. So the riding is being able to do this while being "conscious" of it. Rissala Polo Club.

[@christianpitts3793]

I am 13 years old and I am a one-goaler. and I know that polo is not for just the wealthy and I know this because im not rich and some guys on my team aren't either. I hope more people start playing the sport, because more people ware polo than play it!

I think it depends on the area. If you're area is filled with horse ranches, then its definitely more accessible there. But if you're in my area where horses are really really rare, then you should be probably very rich to be even be able to play the sport. It does look cool though, very sad

[@Keyhan-c8c]

Greetings to argentina and this champions! This is a traditional Iranian sport. There only historical evidances of this sport is only found in Persia, one evidance in Persia/Iran in bishapour, shiraz there are mountain carvings from Sasanian Persia era (200 A.D) in one scene it representing a polo site, at one side stands the imperial team of "Chogān" stading in lines vs one of his foes teams, which is one of his relatives. its said that the Iranian tribes used to battle eachother with the game of polo or buzkashi, to save their men and safe from casualties. Thats why its called "sport of kings" because it even been played by the kings of Persia to prove their might in the region. This sport came to europe only 200 years ago, while it been playing in Iran and central asia for over 2500 years, and in india for arround 1800-2000 years. Its important to know the history ,its not a british sport, culture of cavalry and horseback arts are one of the brightest Iranian identities ,and represents our culture and our background, polo have't been played in iran since the qajars ruled over Iran, its arround 100 years. But always been know to the people and was visible in the Iranian art and poetry. Its original name is infact "Chogān". Its funny that british came to the region 100 years ago forced most of nomadic people to settle down and, then you suddenly hear that british is playing our national game and representing it as a british game.

[@kill-them8412]

That's totally wrong since it has been already discovered in India in the state of manipur name as sagol kanjei after that it as given the name as polo but they don't introduce manipur as the invention of polo 😐

This is not the sport of kings but the king of sports. It may the sport of the rich in the west, but in Manipur, the home of the Polo game, still any commoner can play.

[@Tatatatatatattttatata]

The origin of polo is conflicting. However the modern polo originated from Manipur, a state in India. British first saw the game being played by Manipuri royals and soldiers as a kind of war practice game because Manipuris had a warfare called Arambai which is very similar to the moves of the traditional polo. The mallet design used today is also of Manipuri style whereas Persians used only a curved stick.

[@SandiegoRockstar]

Actually it come from Peshawar, Pakistan. But even that likely originates from the Mongols who used a early form of the game to train cavalry. The mongols like Timur converted to Islam and spread to Pakistan and then India.

@ 06.30 in the presenter says that a racehorse peaks at 3 or 4, however, that is a VERY 'soft' comment: she seems to be thinking of Flat horses, only, which, individually, can 'peak' at any time,: for some, even when they're in double-figures. The comment, obviously, doesn't even admit the existence of Jumpers, many of which come from an earlier career as Flat horses. Presenters need to be up on this very basic knowledge of whichever subject they are broadcasting on.
