*Pro*

Moon liked to limit her talents to strictly jumping so I decided that we should broaden her horizons and practice a game of polo. The polo field had only been used a few times since it had put in so that was yet another good excuse to take Moon out there. I could feel her apprehention as we headed past the indoor arena towards the polo field. Who knows, maybe if me and Moon had a good time out there we would start a trend! With one hand holding her reins I bent down and pulled a mallet and a ball out of a canvas bag hanging beside the gate. Moon eyed them warily but soon began to get excited as she noticed the huge expanse of bright green lawn laid out before her. Billy, my baby bearded collie was out in the middle of the field bounding around and playing with a wooden polo ball he had stollen from the canvas bag. With a smile on my face I sighed and mounted Moon, landing softly in my old worn out english saddle. Once I had gotten situated I sent Moon out onto the field at a trot, her stuning blue wraps glowing against her white coat. Billy, startled by the massive white monster moving towards him, began whimpering and running towars the gate. I reined in Moon and called softly to him. At the sound of my voice he stopped right in his tracks and began wagging his stubby little tail. "Go on back to the barn little Billy before you get yourself into any trouble." With that he turned around and began bounding happily back to the barn. Moon was starting to look quite bored so I spun her around, tapped the ball, and squeezed her into a speedy canter. She bolted....... spooked and attempted to run from the ball. Not what I was expecting:-P So as soon as I gained control and calmed her down we walked back to the ball and tried again. She hesitated at first but broke out into a canter and ran straight towards the ball. As we came up beside the ball I swung and smacked it as hard as I possibly could. The ball flew right into the goal. I threw my arms up in the air and yelled "Yeeeehahh!!". Just then my friend Morgan came riding up on her protrained polo horse, Rocky, and all decked out in polo gear. Now this was going to be fun! She cantered onto the field and we imediately began playing. Me and Moon only mamnaged to snatch the ball twice and make one goal but we did a lot of giggling. In the end Morgan won, the final score being 9 to 1. Like good sportswomen we shook hands..... and then burst out laughing! In fact we laughed all the way back to the barn, where both Moon and Rocky got warm bubble baths and a handful of carrots.
