Very funny. I didn't know polo players wore tights, but then I can't say as I ever saw any polo players. I spent my adolescence riding my horse around the county backroads, a lot of the time pretending I was in England, on a hunt, or rather, anywhere but in Kansas.<br /><br />It's a rather stunning portrait.Coreopsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468751724163567889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-8962457788785799932011-04-26T13:06:27.899-07:002011-04-26T13:06:27.899-07:00I think I'm the only female who isn't in l...I think I'm the only female who isn't in love with horses, which makes it all the more ironic that I worked so hard to go to polo :) Thanks for the comments!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-33535476575998651582011-04-26T12:23:48.429-07:002011-04-26T12:23:48.429-07:00Really enjoyed reading this post...I hung out at t...Really enjoyed reading this post...I hung out at the Polo fields too as my 16 year old self. Even dated one of the players, but not because of how he looked in his breeches. In hindsight it had more to do with the horses I think.
