will be produced. The good farmer on
rich land has produced too heavy a

Gas a rule the polo pony comes from
Texas, where he may have been the
property of a desperate or cowboy,
for such persons need a feet pony, one
that is more or less of an acrobat"
says Allen Sangree in Ainslee's. "a
polo player needs the same kind of
pony. Northern milliOnaires according
~ send their experts down south to
pick the fleetest, gamest and quickest
ponies that can be found. When a
squad has been chosen, they are
trained out west for two months and
then brought to one of the great polo
stables in the east. These animals cost
from $3.50 to $1,000 and are difficult to
procure, as a Texan loves his horse,
quite often more than money. The as
tonishing thing about a polo pony is
its ability to carry heavy men like Mr..
P. +. Collier or Mr.. George Gould and
still enter into a game with heart and
