a team sport where two teams of riders on horseback use mallets to hit a small ball into the opposing team's goal. Played in periods called "chukkers," the game involves strategies similar to soccer or hockey, with players aiming to score by hitting the ball between the goal posts. Key aspects include the use of "polo ponies," specific rules for hitting, safety regulations, and different field sizes for arena or outdoor polo.
