Perfect day at Van Dickson Ranch
Warm up time
Portrait of a polo player
Warm up ride
The Umpire is ready for things to begin
Chukker begins when umpire rolls ball between the teams
Finding the ball may not be easy
The chase is on!
Racing to the ball
Shots can be taken when uncontested
The backhand shot is difficult
This is how to hit a ball in the air
Hoping for a shot on goal
This is intense concentration
Horses, riders and mallets in sync
Wide open field...for a moment
Not sure how well this works
You can hit the ball or opponent's mallet
Ball is in the air...go get it
This is what competition looks like!
Fighting for ball control
Competition is spirited
Race to the ball
Hitting the ball from front to back: a miracle
The chase narrows
