May be my adversity to ethnocentrism, but it might be a much better game without the riders - maybe play half the chukkas with Elephas alone?; 10 September, 2010 18:45

Sorry, but where's the fun in elephant polo?; 11 September, 2010 09:58

Belle de Ville said...: My comment was made as a player not as an observer. Now that my polo playing years are way behind me, yes, the point is to dress up and mingle with a drink in hand. Ponies, elephants, goats whatever.; 13 September, 2010 10:20
Laguna Beach Fogey said...: Glad you left polo behind. In polo the players are the servants, the hired entertainers, the monkeys that dance for the crowd. They are practically irrelevant to the event. I once took polo lessons and couldn't stand it. I simply can't tolerate horses, nor people who like horses.; 14 September, 2010 22:42
