The Sport of Kings

On Sunday afternoon Mike and I went to our first Polo game. The Okatie Rotary Club played Hargray(local cable co.) for local charities here in Bluffton. We learned several neat facts about the game in between the "chuckers", i.e. rounds. For example, after each seven minute chucker all riders change horses. Each horse rides between 4-5 miles over the 10 acre playing field and account for 80% of a win so a fresh horse is in your best interest if you want to take the match. It was a lot of fun to watch and it was perfect weather, so relaxing!

We are stomping divets at half-time. Each match has six chuckers. We are stomping between the third and fourth.
