Several universities and colleges here in the States have equestrian programs. I don't know of any that have polo, but some do have rodeo.

As usual Bridge feels it necessary to insult.

Loughborough Uni, where my younger son is, hosted a sell-out polo match in February this year.

well, who are we to be such spoil-sports as to dare complain and try to stop them ?

Oh, you mean that bizarre activity where asses riding ponies are watched by donkeys.

Of course when they walk to the polo field from the school, they will need 10 adults to accompany them for every 20 children - yes, I saw this near my home this morning. This is crass stupidity brought upon us by the idiots in 13 years of labour tomfoolery!!!

Whe I went to school, it was one teacher for 30 children.

I shall make enquiries at Cowdray Park on Sunday (Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup day) about schools polo in the area. I know that our polo club (Hurtwood Park) encourages it.
