Of course it was polo which was chiefly of interest to ourselves, the only onlookers being the members of our faithful families.

My two ponies were the only occupants of my stable except a cart-horse.

My wife and I rode and drove them, and they were used for household errands and for the children, and for two afternoons a week they served me as polo ponies.

Polo is a good game, infinitely better for vigorous men than tennis or golf or anything of that kind.

There is all the fun of football, with the horse thrown in; and if only people would be willing to play it in simple fashion it would be almost as much within their reach as golf.
