I hope you will continue to take the content from my blog and post it here. Thank you for your support. It is my hope that every polo player will take as much interest as you do in the training and maintenance of their horses. "Of all the things I have made, man and horse are dearest to me." So said the Lord to Adam. Arab saying. I am very flattered! I hope you will continue to take the content from my blog and post it here. Thank you for your support.

That's a good idea about the leg yielding tip, I'll add that on to the post. Perhaps one of these days we can convince Moon to put together a video of him executing a proper ride-off!

For those players that have not quite gotten to the level of being able to perform flying changes, may be a good idea to add on the section moon put about leg-yielding. The leg-yielding technique comes especially useful not only for beginners, but arena players as well - works better than "my horses head over your horses head" technique. Just to add, my Uni coach tells the beginners to have their legs ahead of their opponents before initiating contact. And to be a bit cheeky, a novice player in the club tells the beginners to kick the opponents stirrups off for fun. Excellent first tip! Glad to see it on here!
