SOUND AND UNSOUND HORSES 



As to conformation, the back should 

 be long, and loins short. 



The shoulders, long and muscular to 

 a degree, and neck carried vertically. 

 Withers low ; ears small and pointed ; 

 fore arms long, broad and muscular ; 

 broad, " clean " knee and hock joints ; 

 pasterns of moderate length, and of good 

 slope. In general build a polo pony 

 wants to be a small " stoutly " built 

 (if such an expression can be used) 

 thoroughbred, and the best means of 

 producing these ponies will be b}^ means 

 of a small thoroughbred sire.
