They get the coffee table and tickets to the State Fair. Look good. Do good. Give us a call. There are few sports more beautiful than polo. Or coming out the way you want it in a divorce.

Polo 101
While riding on ponies, called “mounts,” the goal is to move the small white ball down the field, using a mallet to score in between the opposing team’s goal posts. The Scottsdale Polo Party plays with three players on each side due to field size. Each time the ball is hit through the goal posts, the team scores a point. The team with the most points at the end of all four chukkers, periods of play, wins! Traditionally, there are four players and four mounts (ponies), per team. Players play a particular position that corresponds with the number on their jersey.
The Forward
This player is the primary offense, hitting the ball through the enemy’s goal.
The Quarterback
This player is the strategic leader, and a powerful hitter, getting the ball to the offensive players.
The Central Midfielder
This player is both offense and defense, either scoring themselves or protecting Player 1.
The Goalie
This player is the primary defense; protecting the team’s goal is their number one priority.
