Offside Forehand Swing Intensive Video (Polo Playing Tips and Advice)

Videos like this are helpful for understanding both how the game is played and the importance of proper technique. For example, the swing and follow-through are critical. You can clearly see how the mallet comes fully around after contact, staying aligned with the line of the intended shot. The next time you’re on the field, it’s worth practicing with this in mind.

St.Regis World Snow Polo Championship - Finals: What Souls Were Called?

While watching the second part of the St. Regis World Snow Polo Championship, one might notice a number of fouls early in the match. Understanding these fouls helps build greater awareness of how the game is played and why certain calls are made. Often, the referee will stop play briefly to assess a situation and either award a penalty or have the players hit the ball back in to resume the match.

Most polo fouls exist to protect the horses and to maintain the flow and safety of the game. With multiple horses moving at speed and approaching the ball from different angles, the “line of the ball” is critically important. This rule helps prevent dangerous perpendicular collisions. While some natural bumping is allowed, referees must judge whether an action crosses the line into unsafe or unfair play and warrants a penalty.

Several of these fouls were discussed during the broadcast, and you can read more about the specific penalties below.

-Hook Foul

-Inappropriate use of mallet.

-Lane violation

Refreshing Your Equestrian Wardrobe for 2026

If you’re interested in both horses and fashion, 2026 may be a good time to refresh parts of your wardrobe. Equestrian activities typically require specialized, functional clothing, yet many of these pieces can also transition well into everyday wear. Costs can be quite reasonable, though they naturally vary depending on personal taste, brand preferences, and budget.

For example, if you’re playing intramural polo or simply practicing, you don’t always need top-tier riding apparel. While proper polo breeches are ideal, white stretch or flex jeans can work well for training sessions—especially if, like me, you tend to wear through clothing quickly. Saving higher-end gear for tournaments, lessons, or group rides often makes practical and financial sense.

When it comes to color, classic tones tend to perform best. Earth colors such as navy, black, gray, beige, and white are versatile and easy to mix and match, allowing you to get more use out of a smaller riding wardrobe.

Functionality and breathability are also key considerations. While some athletic clothing can cross over between sports, equestrian wear is largely its own category. Pieces designed specifically for riding offer the durability, flexibility, and comfort that the activity demands.

You may find the article below helpful—it’s well written and offers several practical tips for selecting equestrian clothing that balances style, performance, and value. These are some nice pieces and quality driven.

St.Regis World Snow Polo Championship: A Few Thoughts and Links About the Event

These charity matches offer a great opportunity to watch seasoned players in action. Because this was a charity event, you also see a number of well-known figures on the field, which adds to the appeal. It is especially interesting to watch polo played in the snow. Riding in snowy conditions is likely going to present some challenges for stopping and changing directions. 

Overall, it looks like a very well-done event, and I’m sure the more affluent attendees enjoy the added touch of luxury. It is enjoyable watching these games not only for entertainment but also as a learning experience. Observing how experienced players move, how they handle their mallets, and how different equipment performs is invaluable. You can see the flexibility of the mallets, how they’re used, the colors players prefer, and the general functionality of fiber cane in real-world conditions.

Most importantly, events like this raise funds for worthwhile causes, which is a big reason people come out to play and watch. And I’m sure that if you were interested in donating to the charity, they would be more than happy to receive the support.

The game was played to raise funds for the Aspen Valley Hospital Foundation.
