Letter of the month The writer of letter of the month wins a bottle of British Polo Gin @britishpologin 18 years and over only

Dear Sir, I would to make note to all your readers, on the welfare of the polo ponies at the end of the season. I thought that every pony I have seen in this very short polo season looked absolutely marvellous. Fit and well turned out, not too fat or thin, just right. I went to the last match of the season at Cirencester on Sunday 26 September, and it seemed a pity to turn them out! I can only speak for the ponies in and around Gloucestershire, but having watched polo on the T.V. all the clubs seemed to have all horses in tip top condition. Congratulations to the grooms, stable managers et al.

Most polo clubs seemed to have managed well in such difficult times.

Here is to the 2021 season, may the sun shine, no Covid and fast grounds!

The best substitute bench Juanma is doing great in his recovery. He is progressing well, already practising with his mallet and we hope he can make his comeback as soon as possible. Pablo tore a muscle during Saturday practice and is recovering as well. He will surely be able to play again in the coming days. Pelón suffered from a torn abductor muscle during the match yesterday and was substituted by Tomás Fernández Llorente – he’s facing a two-week recovery period. Meanwhile, they are all supporting the team on the sidelines and, hopefully, we’ll be able to see the three of them again on the field alongside @adolfocambiaso1 #LaDolfina #ladolfinapoloclub #ladolfinasaudi #ladolfinapoloteam #adolfitocambiaso #adolfocambiaso #pelonstirling #pablomacdonough #juanmanero #porotocambiaso Boris’ lockdown 2.0 puts arena polo plans on hold

#ThrowbackThursday The Gloucestershire Stall at the Veterans Fete, July 7th - 9th 1908. The 7th Countess Bathurst (middle) was renowned for her fine needlework. In Cirencester Parish Church there is a beautiful alter cloth which was made and donated by the Countess, an exquisite example of her work. #gloucestershire #cirencesterpark #oldphoto #history
