checked he'll run over the ball and
carry his rider out Of the zone Of
play. A pony that will twist and turn
as though on a pivot and then break"
and race at top speed and stop in
stantly at command is the ideal polo
mount. His value is beyond price
There are many poloists who can
not afford to maintain large strings
of ponies and hire trainer. Most Of
these men have from three to six po-
MES in their string. They place the
ponies in public training stable. The
cost is $50 month for each pony.
These public trainers hire stable lads
to exercise and take care Of the po-
MES. One boy looks after four ponies.
The actual cost of feed for a pony Is
SIP month.
Some of the expenses other than
those of buying and maintaining the
ponies, cost the players many dollars.
The balls, made of light willow, are
furnished to the Polo association at
ten ,cents each. One firm has a con-
tract to furnish the polo associations
with 10000 balls. The mallets are
worth from 50 to $3.50 each. The
heads of the mallet are frequently
broken in the game or during practice.
1t costs dollar to replace the heads
The helmets the players wear cost
from 81 to 81 each. The riding boots
are worth from SIS to $25. The rid
ing breeches cost from IS to $12.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1913-07-25

bred for that purpose. In 1876, when
the first games of polo were played
in New York, It was possible to buy
ponies for prices ranging from $35 to
500. Mr.. Herbert once bought pony
for S35 that afterward developed into
a crackerjack and his value scared to
$4,000 OF course that was an excep-
ton. Nowadays ponies suitable for
polo cost from $500 to $4,000 each.
When Mr.. Whitney prepared for his
campaign in England in 1909 he spent
$4,000 for ponies. Since then he has
added many more to his string and
has spent at least $4,000. 1t will be
seen by this that he has expended in
the neighborhood of $125,000 for po-
niles alone. One Of his ponies cost
him $4,000 This was the high-water
mark paid for any pony, but many
good ponies have cost $4,000. The
duke of Westminster has spent In the
neighborhood of $125,OOO for his ag-
gregation of ponies. The ponies that
we're used in the international matches
we're made up in large part of those
owned by Mr.. Whitney and the duke
OF Westminster Several ponies, how
ever, have been donated for the use
Of the players by various Americans
and Englishmen who are interested in
the game.
at takes several years of hard
training to make pony suitable for
pole playing. He is usually bought
when three years of age and for two
years is taught the elementary parts
of the game, such as not to shy at the
mallet, to follow the ball, to break"
quickly and to obey the slightest touch
of the relns on his neck. Most ponies
are trained so that the rider may
guide them by simply touching them
on the right or left side of the neck
with the reins.
Many persons not familiar with polo
consider the fastest pony the best
pony. This is an erroneous idea
While speed is an essential qualifica-
ton for a pony, he is utterly worth
less II he does not know the game
thoroughly and is not subject to in
slant c-ntrol. If his speed cannot be
