Polo Oil Study
“Polo, which has been called “the sport of kings”, has become a spectator sport for equestrians and society, often supported by sponsorship. The game is played by two opposing teams with the objective of scoring goals by using a long-handled wooden mallet to hit a small hard ball through the opposing team’s goal. Each team has four mounted riders, and the game usually lasts one to two hours, divided into periods called chukkas. The sport originated from equestrian games played by nomadic Iranians. Polo was at first a training game for cavalry units, usually the Persian king’s guard or other elite troops”
