This thundering image highlights the strategic teamwork,
the risk, the professional skills, horsemanship, and the sharp intelligence that is required to play at the professional
level.
Mr. Tony Lott, of the Lexington Polo Club
is quoted as saying:
"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." |
