Did you know that they play polo right here in southeastern Wisconsin? The Milwaukee Polo Club plays every weekend during the summer right down the road from us in Hartland. We went and watched a match this past Sunday and it was terrific. You can pull your car right up close to the field and tailgate or picnic. Some of the spectators even brought their dogs along. We need to remember that when we go back next summer.
Polo consists of six chukkers, or periods. At half time all the spectators go out onto the field for the "stomping of the divets." Yes, just like in the movie "Pretty Woman" except I didn't see any movie stars. You are also allowed to walk over and talk with the players and pet the horses at half time.
Polo is a pretty exciting sport to watch. There is a lot of action and it's very fast-paced as the players move back and forth across the field. Of course, the horses are beautiful and so much fun to watch. It was a blast!
