Production of polo ponies.— At present the only method of pro- 

 ducing ponies such as the modern game demands is the mating of polo 

 pony mares with a Thoroughbred stallion of approved type. How- 

 ever, a very large percentage of get is over height and only a small 

 percentage of foals that are of proper size have the conformation and 

 disposition to become polo ponies. The breeding of this pony is a 

 proposition only for the specialist who makes a special study of the 

 requirements of players and of methods of production.
