[:es]The first thing you need if you want to practice polo is a pair of jodhpurs and a T-shirt. The pants should not be too tight, but not too loose and always white. The T-shirt is the team T-shirt, but they are usually two-colored.
Knee-high riding boots must be worn on the feet. A spur is attached to the heel of the boots to better control the horse. For the same purpose, a riding crop is also worn.
Finally, don’t forget the accessories for the game itself: the taco or mallet (a bamboo or graphite stick with a wooden head and a length that varies between 119 and 137 cm.) and the ball (made of wood in the past, and nowadays of plastic, with a diameter between 7.6 and 8.9 cm.).
With all these elements you are ready to play![:en]The first thing you need if you want to practice polo is a pair of jodhpurs and a T-shirt. The pants should not be too tight, but not too loose and always white. The T-shirt is the team T-shirt, but they are usually two-colored.
