"...We have had many
complements on the program this year - the cover specifically. Players can
be very particular about polo art because there always seems to be
something not quite right about the tack, the pony, the player, etc.
"Obsession" is almost a polo lesson in and of itself. The players are in
position, the subject player is beginning a swing with perfect form - hard
to do and hard even to photograph - can't imagine getting it right in oil.
He's also balanced and is not "in the pony's mouth" with the bit. Such a
great piece, and we're fortunate to have it as the cover this year.
Thanks again."
