Tue 22nd Mar 2016Polo Times Out This Week Guest Editor Nic Roldan and Reports Galore
The April issue of Polo Times will be out this week. This month, American professional player Nic Roldan has picked up the reins to write about a myriad of subjects that are close to his polo playing heart. Following on from our previous Guest Editors, Roldan talks about saddle fitting, Monty Roberts, the Gay Polo League, how to survive the States, Brooke USA and three young players we should be keeping an eye on for the future. That’s not all, this issue is also brimming with reports from the New Zealand Open, Bryan Morrison Trophy, the Arena Gold Cup, C.V. Whitney Cup and the Julius Baer Gold Cup. We catch up with Alex Jacobs with a mini interview for our Women’s Polo pages after her win in the National Women’s Tournament. Not one but three reports from the SUPA Schools Championships (Junior, Senior and Girls) appear in our Youth Polo pages. In our Knowledge section we get to know four Best Playing Ponies in Pony Power from SUPA National Senior Schools to The Arena Gold Cup, Martin Perez highlights some handy exercises to strengthen your backhand shots and Lorna Edgar explains the best way to improve topline on your ponies with her expert nutritional advice. This month's vet, Daren Tamplin, who was chosen by our Guest Editor Nic Roldan, explains the reasons and treatments for ponies suffering with severe back pain. Our final page of this issue includes an interview with America's only 10 goal arena player Tommy Biddle where he tells us his passions on and off the field.
