Polo requires a unique combination of skills. Horsemanship is key, demanding the rider expertly control the horseβs direction and speed with minimal effort. The basic principle of horsemanship is to get results in a humane way through a combination of balance, seat, hands, and legs. The game is played on a large grass field, with players using mallets to drive a ball for passing and goal scoring. Players need to be able to pass to teammates, maneuver at speed, and prevent opponents from scoring.
