This pony is built solid, 14-15 heads tall, his back is design to allow your polo saddle to fit perfect, and with leather cushions on the main to practice reach out, two sets of leather to resemble the proper polo rig. It allows you to practice your swing with confidence and precision in all different directions. Any experience polo player will tell you that the most important part of playing polo is your pony and of course swing. building the confidence to stand on the saddle and reach out for the ball comes within time and practice. with this wood pony you can practice "stick and ball" as many hours as you like even at home as a polo player I wish I had one of these long time ago if you interested on the design send e-mail to jorgekurczyn@yahoo.com and I'll send you details and design so you can build it your self, or I can make it for you. As my good old friend polo player Vince Azzaro used to say. "the difference between a good and bad player is practice or the polo pony"
