Polo ponies play gymkhana games

23 December 2006
Christmas Polo Gymkhana ... As the player don their fancy dress costumes ...

And the ponies are adorned with tinsel ...

The competative spirit starts kindling ... I wouldn't dream of cheating!

Thats a lot of eggs to eat ... if Paul Newman can do it ... then I'll give it a go ...

The egg and spoon race ... are you allowed to hold the egg on the spoon with your thumb?

Choose your weapon of choice for mortal combat ... hmmm that carrot looks tasty.

Right, run a fast a you can dropping the ball on the floor so that you have to get off your horse and pick it up again ...

Tacking up race ... where does this bit go? Round the world, barrel racing ... jumping?

First place carrots for the pony!

Lap of honor for the winners ...

Everyone's a winner ... say pasture mix!

Ooops ... someone feels left out ...
