LET'S CELEBRATE....

... thought being the horses birthday here would be appropriate for a couple of "nags" to celebrate.
Found this pair being trained down at the Polo grounds across the river - later this year the BIG event is on - in October, so you are all invited!!

Just maybe this pair are a bit better than "nag" status!

Enjoy, and have a look in LARGE

... some further info ....

The XI FIP (Federation of International Polo) World Polo Championship will be hosted by Sydney Polo Club in October 2017.
The Sydney Polo Club is 1 hour away from Sydney’s CBD and major airport. Sydney Polo
Club is one of Australia’s first polo Clubs, dating back to 1870, located in the historic town of
Richmond NSW.
The Club sits on over 450 acres of prime agriculture land with an exceptional Equestrian
Centre, which covers all aspects of equine sports and therapy.
The local area was colonised in 1794, one of the first in the country. Prior to colonisation it
was home to the Darug people, a community of the Aboriginal Australian population. We
acknowledge the XI FIP World Polo Championship is being held on the country of the Darug
People of the Darug Nation and acknowledge their ancestors who have been Traditional
Owners of their country for thousands of years. We also wish to acknowledge and pay our
respect to the Darug People’s Elders past and present.
An environmentally sustainable approach with green initiatives and methodologies is
implemented across the event.
This is a global event that is held every three years and involves a number of qualifying international polo teams.
The CEO of Sydney Polo Club, Mr Peter Higgins, was awarded host venue for the 2017 event, following a successful bid presented in Buenos Aires in December 2016, with the support of the State Government and Destination NSW.
