Skull Valley Polo Club and Yuma Polo Club - Polo Demo
  Two polo teams, Skull Valley and Yuma, will play four seven minute 
   chukkars (play periods) at the Equifest. The teams will have three 
   players per side and play will start with a throw in of the ball.  
   Polo is a passing game and the object is to work as a team toward 
   the goal.  When a goal is made that team's goal changes to the 
   other end of the field. Players need a fresh horse for each 
   chukkar. 
   Horses (polo ponies) are about 15.2 hands tall, learn to follow 
   the ball, and don't object to the player using a mallet to send 
   the ball forward.
