17th May 2013 - Polo on the beach - Watergate bay.

Whilst I was watching the surfers on Watergate bay, the Extreme Academy and Veuve Clicquot
bought some of the polo ponies down onto the beach to promote this weekend's Polo on the beach event.

Three polo players, Andy Burgess, Rob Brockett and Major Ben Marshall representing "Team Joules" and "Team First Great Western" exercised the ponies along the surf line.

Andy told me later that Tonka with his ears pricked really enjoyed the shoreline.
