The image captures a moment of respite between chukkas, as Lord Louis Mountbatten and two other team members gather on horseback. Dressed in their impeccable riding attire, complete with polished boots and jodhpurs, they exude an air of elegance and skill. The scene is steeped in history and tradition, showcasing the timeless allure of polo as a sport for royalty and dignitaries. Lord Mountbatten's presence adds an extra layer of prestige to the occasion, highlighting his passion for equestrian pursuits. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that more than just a game is being played here; camaraderie and sportsmanship radiate from each rider. Their shared love for the sport unites them beyond social status or titles. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving our rich heritage. Housed within the West Sussex Record Office Ref. , No. Garland N18496 collection, it allows us to glimpse into a bygone era where horsemanship was celebrated with grace and style.
