POINTS OF TYPICAL BREEDS 79 



Polo Ponies. 



When selecting a pony for polo, try and 

 get one with a long back and short loins, low 

 withers, long muscular shoulders, and neck 

 inclined to be carried upright. 



All the joints should be strong and free 

 from any disease that will interfere with their 

 full play. 



Blemishes are unimportant ; the same may 

 be said of colour and aoe, but the height 

 ought not to be above 14 hands. 



The Arab cross is an advantage, but many 

 polo ponies are bred without any real idea as 

 to their suitability for this special work. 

 Fabulous prices are frequently paid for ponies 

 which have earned a reputation on such 

 srrounds as Hurlinoham and Ranelah.
