About this video

Just days after winning the Queen's Cup at Windsor '09 (a career high for Mark) he talks to Fiona Price about polo. Mark offers his thoughts on what makes a good polo pony, their training and fitness, the ideal temperament and breed. He also talks about 'star quality' in horse and rider and his life in Argentina for half the year. Mark describes the joy of winning the British Open in 2003 with friends including the world's leading lady rider, Nina Clarkin, a female polo icon (along with Mark's mum who still holds the women's high goal handicap record). Marks' goal is a handicap of 8 by the end of 2010. A great insight into the sport!

Fiona Price 3 Jul 2009 We made a number of videos at his yard just after we filmed this piece (which was at Laura Bectholsheimer's). So lots more coming soon! Also, his biog page, just posted, has more information.
L & W 3 Jul 2009 What a nice guy. Would like him to do a video on what happens in polo, as I've never watched a game.
Silver Snaffles 3 Jul 2009 Reminded me that many years ago I used to exercise polo ponies including an Argentina pony on whom you could have read the paper while cantering she moved so smoothly.
HiddenFarm 3 Jul 2009 What a gorgeous guy!
