That was my first polo match, I was there invited to record part of the game by one of the players.
Before the game the horses are brushed, their legs are wrapped for extra protection, the assistants give them some water and put on the saddles. In the meantime, the jockeys are revising their mallets, straps and boots.
At the end, I never completely understood the structure of the game but was a beautiful experience watching men and horses in a (almost) perfect synchronization and the horses received a well deserved bath in a near creek.
