Polo

On our way back to the car after our visit to the zoo last Saturday, we walked by the Dublin polo club, and we saw that the horses and their riders were warming up. So we decided to have a closer look, as they started their match. We watched 1 chukka or 2, I'm not sure. I only noticed the bell once, but it felt a lot longer than 7 minutes. Quite an exciting game, when you can hear the sound of the horses' hooves and their quick breathing, as they go back and forth. It's only later, after we looked at the photos that Brendan had taken, that we realised one of the riders was a woman. I guess it's a mixed game.
