Hold your horses: Polo fever strikes again

With the chill in the air and the sun shining bright, there couldn't have been a better day for a game of polo in the capital. Recently, the

Jaipur Polo Grounds

hosted the Neptune Foundation Polo Match, which saw not only intense action on the field but also the attendance of some of the city’s most prominent polo enthusiasts. Watching the game from the stands were

On the field, an exciting game took place where both the teams wrestled for control of the game throughout the six chukkers, but in the end, the Vyom team beat the Neptune team by five goals to three to take the Neptune Cup. MaryKay Loss Carlson, Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy, was present at the game as the chief guest and she looked visibly impressed by the on-field action. "It was a good game and a nice experience for me to be here. I hope I can make it to more of these in the future," she said.
