EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1932, the excitement of a polo match comes to a sudden halt as one of the ponies collides with a goal post, shattering it into pieces. Amidst the chaos of the game, a Maltese Cat named Polo calmly observes the scene unfold from the sidelines. Polo, a small yet regal animal, adds a touch of tranquility and intrigue to the otherwise frenetic atmosphere of the polo course. Polo was a beloved mascot for the polo team, often accompanying them to matches and bringing good luck with his charming presence. The Maltese breed, known for their distinctive white fur and gentle demeanor, were popular companions for the wealthy elite during this era. Polo's presence at the polo match not only added a sense of elegance but also served as a reminder of the deep bond between humans and animals. The polo match, a quintessential symbol of the aristocracy and high society, was a popular pastime for the wealthy during the early 20th century. The image captures the raw energy and intensity of the game, as well as the unexpected moments of serendipity that often occur on the field. The broken goal post, a testament to the power and speed of the ponies, serves as a stark contrast to the graceful and composed Polo, who remains unperturbed by the chaos around him. This photograph, taken in 1932, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the love for horses, polo, and animals like Polo, brought together the elite and the common man in a shared appreciation for the beauty and thrill of the sport.
