Am I being pedantic by saying that the title of this excellent series of photographs should actually be " How to break 2 polo sticks? That aside the picture of the broken sticks could and probably should win the Pulitzer Prize for sport action if, of couse, there is such a prize?

Can’t say you didn’t catch the action, cracking action shot there (no pun intended but may get some stick for it ) nice one.

Just a thought, sure you won’t shead a tear once you sell this lens? Just put three lenses on Ebay tonight to futher my conversion.

Excellent sequence old chap, did you hang around for the post-match dust up?

I will miss it, it’s an astonishing lens, probably one of the best ever made.

I awarded myself the “best sequence of the day as taken by me” prize, so that was nice. My award acceptance speech probably went on longer than it should have done though.

It appears to be accepted as normal behaviour. They are very strange people.

Is there an emoticon for “groan?”

I would like to inform everyone that I disapprove of sports that involve animals (that ranges from bullfight to horse race and horse polo). You could join my efforts to abolish sports that involve animal by stopping to visit such events and posting pictures thereof. You probably don’t care what I think about horse polo, but at least I have to tell you once.

Oh dear! Tut-tutting and disapproval. Goodness me! Whatever next… By the time the greenie PC nutter brigade have finished sanitising the ‘planet’ we’ll ‘ave now’t left but cockroaches to race…

Of course, by commenting upon this post you have slightly increased its ranking on Google and therefore the likelihood of people visiting the photos…. I have no time for animal cruelty, but the polo horses seem to be keen to play and they live an extremely pampered life; much better than being bred to end up in a lasagne. If you want targets in Thailand, I recommend drugged tigers in parks, dolphin shows, abused elephants almost anywhere and soi dogs.

Oh dear indeed …. I guess we won´t get into the dwarf throwing ten-pin bowling competition then !

Soi Dogs? Do they go well with a dash of Soy Sauce?

Never mind Polo Horses, over here in Sunny Alba the horse that was 5/2 at Musselburgh races yesterday was 3 for 2 Lasagna at Lidl’s today …

Let alone wet “T” shirt competitions, mud wrestling, jelly fighting and all our other harmless little amusements, although they may survive if we remember not to involve horses…

Oh yes, and plenty of onions, chilli and garlic. Personally I find the northern Thai dog recipes much more to my liking than those from Esaan or Lao…
