I can't remember any inspirational quotes, but I remember many humerious indoor polo games played at our stable Fox Run Farm in Suffield ct during the years 1969 to 1982 especially one player named Moe Garber.  There was also an artical written about indoor polo played at our stable in the 1970's

Here are a few I thought fit the bill...\n\nGeorge Allen\n"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to."\n\nCalvin Coolidge \n"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."\n\n Dale Carnegie \n"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no help at all." \n\nAristotle\n"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self." \n\nThomas Jefferson\n"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it." \n\nWilliam J.H. Boetcker\n"Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success."

Here are some funny ones that actually could be somewhat inspiration depending on how you see them...\n\n"the first 90 minutes are the most important." -Bobby Robson\n\n"Sometimes in football you have to score goals" -Thierry Henry\n\n"A game is not won until it is lost." -David Pleat...It kind of makes sense, but then again, it kind of doesn't...

You could work on your interchange between your two hands.  At higher levels of play you will see players using both hands, or at least having a good amount of dexterity with their off-hand.  The exchange has to take place without touching the ball with both hands, as i'm sure you know, two hands on ball is a foul.  I would sit in my room for hours bouncing my ball off the wall catching with the throwing arm, exchanging at the face, and throwing with the off-hand. Another dexterity excercise is to juggle the ball between both hands using your fingertips.\n\nI used to practice balancing the ball in my hand, and exchanging when I couldn't take the burning in my shoulder any longer :).  A polo player should always be in a ready position, with the ball in the air, ready to shoot or pass.  This should help condition those muscles.\n\nI'd also suggest you incorporate running into your conditioning routine, as well as lifting weights if you are able to get into a gym.  This should put you a little bit in front of your competition.  Hope that helps :)

Seeing a horse doing what he enjoys to do means more than $$.These horses - the good ones - love to run. I love watching a talented pair of horses grind it out to the wire or a gutsy domination of a field of good ones. But equally like watching a reining horse letting the dirt fly and a Saddlebred showing off as the crowd cheers and a jumper strut off the course like he owns the world. The world of polo is known for $$$ but the horses are ATHLETES. \nThe good ones leave a memory. Skywalker and Imperator battling out, lathered but digging down in competition for the World title in the 5 gaited class. Secretariat's domination and Affirmed and Alydar's duels. The image of Gils Bay Boy (Scamper) streaking away from the third barrel with the bridle dangling between his front legs, but in control running for the title. Reading of horses like the legendary Snowman, Pharlap, Dan Patch, Greyhound, Wing Commander and others. I don't watch for the bets or the handicapping but for the enjoyment of an athlete.

Patz, your questions sometime seem to provoke the braggadocious side of me. lol.. And though I'm sure it may seem shocking to you, I really try to not go there. But my story holds a warm spot in my heart, so here it is:\n\n The other day two strangers stopped by my place to inquire about buying some hay. \n\n The youngest stranger walked down to look at my horses with me, and started telling me the sad story of the hardships his life had been in lately and as though there was a need to just unload the burdens. He talked endlessly about it. I listened deep to what he was saying, putting myself in his shoes and the whole story sadden me. When he'd finished speaking, I knew our paths had crossed for a reason, because for the moment I could help his situation! \n  I turned and walked back up the path where an older stranger who had came with the young one, was speaking to my husband. They stop talking and spoke to me as I appproached them. I spoke then commented to the man speaking to my husband, if he knew anyone interested in some part time work? He quickly answered, "Yes Mam, I am. I recently lost my job, and it's been tough on my family. I'm willing to do anything for a few dollars." I told him, "I'm sure grateful you came along. Can you start work tomorrow?" He said with a smile, "Gladly." Then I inquired about the young man with him, and him taking a 'fancy to a filly I had' and ask if he had a place to keep her? The older guy told me, 'yeah, but the young guy couldn't afford to buy her right now? I told him, I like to do a little 'horse trading' and bout that time the young stranger walked up. I squatted down and looked at the young stranger and ask him,\n"What you got there in your pocket, Mister?" He pulled out  25 cents and two 'hotwheels' cars. And showed them to me. I told him, "Heck Cowboy, that's just what I've been wanting for that horse you like! You want to trade?" The older guy, his father started smiling and trying to tell me, "if you let me work her off, I'll pay you. You ain't gotta do that!" I told him, "We're 'horse trading', and I set my price! You want to deal?" The six year old, blue eyed, redheaded stranger screamed, "Deal!" So we loaded the pony on my trailer and the little stranger rode with me, while I followed his dad and delivered the pony to their house. \n I spent about 2 hours there talking to his parents and watching him play with the pony. \n I even visited where he'd placed the flowers where his old pony was buried.\n\n When I went to leave he told me, "I sure am glad I met you and that you been wanting some 'hotwheels'! Can I tell my friends that you're my 'bestfriend' too?" I told him, "I'd be honored to be his bestfriend too. And that's what I was going to tell my friends, you're my new bestfriend too!" Then the young boys mother hugged me and said, "You are too kind and May God Bless you!" I smiled, looked at the boy and told her, "God already did!" Then showed her the two 'hotwheels' and said, "And I got two 'hotwheels' and a Quarter, to boot!"\n\n\n\n Now, you made me brag! lol.. 'I got a new bestfriend! But that's something that's priceless!' \n\n Hope you have a Good Day!

The quote, in slightly different form, appears on the tomb of Cheops IV and was borrowed by Machiavelli.  The latter is the correct philosophy.  However, as we learn from Michael and Vito Corleone (both of whom have popularized the expression so that the hoi poloi now use it) have taught us, it is good to keep everyone within range of a good .38 Special.

Yes. It's called "BUZ KASHI". Two teams on horses trying to pick up a dead goat from the ground and carrying it around a flag pole and then making it back to the other side of the field :-)
