Jacket, which is attached to book, has light scuffing. Profusely illustrated. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 275 pages; Polo was a cowboy sport in the Canadian West long before the advent of the organised rodeo with its bucking horses and chuck-wagon races. Played there within twenty years of its introduction to Britain, it flourishes today. From the first match in southern Alberta in the 1880's, the game's popularity spread like wildfire through the foothills ranchlands. In a country whose life revolved around horsemen and the horse, polo became its most popular sport and a focus of community pride and social life. Based on extensive reserarch into original sources, Tony Rees vividly explores the history of polo on the field and the role of its players and patrons in the development of Western Canada's unique society. Polo: The Galloping Game, for the first time defines the place of Western Canadian polo in the international world of sport.
