2. Ever heard of polo?
Polo is a sport using two goals and teams of four on
horse back. The aim of the game is to score goals from
horse back with a stick and a wooden ball. Pitches are
usually 360 yards long by 160 yards wide. The modern
game lasts roughly two hours and is divided into
portions of time called chukkas. The winner is the team
with the most goals.

4. We decided
…to take advantage of the beautiful beaches of
Mango Republic. We decided to have a Polo
race, where there is one ball per horse and rider,
and the standard length stick. The aim is to win
by racing a kilometer along the beach. The
winning team has the most players back in the
allocated time (bogey time – set time of an
average time, team has to be finish before this)
with their stick and ball. We have named this XC
Polo.
