Here, amidst the lush green fields and vibrant atmosphere, these remarkable women showcased their prowess on horseback with grace and determination. It is impossible not to be captivated by the historical significance surrounding this momentous event. Not only does it epitomize an era when polo reigned as a symbol of prestige and sophistication, but it also highlights how sports can transcend social boundaries.
