Polo is one of the world's most exciting sports and is played in 76 countries in the world. Polo is widely known to be a very high risk sport, because the probability of injury while playing on galloping horses always remains very high.
One of the most unique and universally respected features of Polo and equestrian sports, is that men and women play together. There is no distinction on the basis of gender, as all players are rated only by their skill levels.
