As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.

How to play polo
Here is the best video that I found on how to hold the polo mallet and the physics of the polo swing, delivered by Steve Thompson who is a polo coach in Dubai. (Hum, I just discovered that my description echoes the original video description--no plagiarism intended--it's just an accurate description of the video contents.) Enjoy!
