Well it is a sport for the rich royalty and elite (notably the European elite ) but if you want to see real polo being played as a real man's sport I suggest reading about the Shandur Polo tournament that is played annually in Pakistan's Northern Areas

They didnt call it the Game of Kings for nothing

p.s. ignore the obvious mistake of saying Polo was "invented in Chitral/Gilgit areas" by people who mistake the passion for this game there for being its "inventors"

Just because we invented polo 3000 years ago

doesn't mean we are able to play it so amazingly in 2008.
