Add to that the return of one of polo’s great forces, Ellerston – whose patron is James Packer, son of Kerry Packer, the late Australian media tycoon and polo enthusiast – to UK high goal for the first time since 2008, and expectations of a classic season have rarely been higher. Unusually, polo insiders have been loath to make predictions. Even the professionals chose to sit on the fence when contributing to the annual Polo Times predictions for the season. “So many teams and combinations have changed that it is difficult to know how it’s going to turn out,” says Max Routledge, the 21-year-old five- goal professional and one of the Eng- lish game’s rising stars. Alterations to handicaps forced Alterations designed to speed up the game and stop the best players from hogging the ball have contributed to some surprising results Reuters some of the changes.

2016 Brittish Riding Pony Breed Standards and Showing Rules
2016 Brittish Riding Pony Breed Standards and Showing Rules Secretary: Mrs Alicia M Hay Blairview, By Milnathort, KY13 0SF 07970 816416 www.npsscotland.co.uk BRITISH RIDING PONY BREED DESCRIPTION The British Riding Pony is a breed, established over a hundred years ago, originally by the Polo Pony Stud Book Society in 1893. However, 20 years later it became the National Pony Society and to this day it is the custodian of the Stud Book. The Stud Book was formed to encourage the breeding, registration and improvement of both Riding Ponies and at that time all the native breds too, though they now have their own stud books. The foundation blood lines of all the British Riding Ponies were Polo Ponies, Thoroughbreds, Arabs and the British Native Breeds (mostly Welsh or Dartmoor). An increasing number of the ponies now being registered with the NPS are the progeny of British Riding Pony sires and dams and through many generations of selective breeding a very high standard has been achieved. British Riding Ponies are of three categories or types – Show Ponies, Show Hunter Ponies and Sports/Competition Ponies. The Sports Ponies result from cross breeding with Sport Horses or Ponies. All types have outstanding quality while retaining the pony characteristics of good temperament, hardiness, soundness and surefootedness. They provide an ideal mount for today’s competitive riders and are successful in a wide variety of equine competitions and disciplines. The British Riding Pony is much respected and sought after world wide and some of the best blood lines have been exported, predominantly to Australia, New Zealand and America. -

The traditional sports and games of Tajik people, which from ancient times survived till our modern times, are: archery, jogging, jumping, wrestling, horse race, chavgon (equestrian polo), buzkashi, chess, nard (backgammon), etc. The article begins with an introduction observing the Tajik people, their history, origin and hardships to keep their culture, due to several foreign invasions. The article consists of sections Running, Jumping, Lance Throwing, Archery, Wrestling, Buzkashi, Chavgon, Chess, Nard (Backgammon) and Conclusion. In each section, the author tries to analyze the origin, history and characteristics of each game refering to ancient and old Persian literature. Traditional sports of Tajik people contribute as the symbol and identity of Persian culture at one hand, and at another, as the combination and synthesis of the Persian and Central Asian cultures. Central Asia has a rich history of the traditional sports and games, and significantly contributed to the sports world as the birthplace of many modern sports and games, such as polo, wrestling, chess etc. Unfortunately, this theme has not been yet studied academically and internationally in modern times. Few sources and materials are available in Russian, English and Central Asian languages, including Tajiki. -

Winner Takes All, Polo's Hilario Ulloa, Cover Story–Palm
WINNER TAKES ALLPolo player Hilario BY MICHELE MEYER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DIEGO CAPPELLA Even while practicing alone, Hilario Ulloa performs the same fearless, focused Ulloa’s competitive moves that make him the Michael Jordan of the equine set. He’s ranked among the world’s top 10 polo players, and his confidence in the saddle hints at a history nature and equestrian steeped in horses. With his mallet behind his back, he leans far off his steed—at 40 miles per hour, no less. Somehow, he knows where the ball is and slams it home. prowess impress on the “I was practically born on horseback,” says Ulloa, offering a nonplussed expla- nation for his super-human skills. For those who know him best, it’s his drive to win field and in the stable that most sets the 34-year-old apart from his competitors. “Hilario’s very intense,” says fellow Argentine 10-goaler Guillermo “Sapo” Ca- set, who’s played with—and against—Ulloa since age 12. “He has to win, even if it’s PlayStation or ping-pong. He’s really, really competitive.” That tenacious pursuit earned Ulloa a 10-goal rank, the highest possible, in the U.S., his native Argentina, and England at age 30. He was only 24 when he became a 9-goaler. He’s played in Wellington for the past nine years, racking up triumphs such as the 2018 U.S. Polo Open Championship. 88 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2020 89 Ulloa stables 25 horses in the U.S., 12 to 14 in England, and more than 100 in Argentina. -

The Second Edition was published in 2002, and now we’re publishing the Third Edition. I’ve taken out details that are no longer relevant, included Appendix 1 from the USEF Rules for Eventing because of the guidelines this document contains for all the levels, but other than that, there are very few changes. Remember that this pamphlet is about the basics of course design for Jumping courses. It is only about the basics. My advice is to stick to the basics until you have a thorough appreciation of what effect your modifications will have. Like any art, you must understand the basics first, and only then can you mix them up and become more ‘creative’. In addition, I recommend that you read the Introduction -
