Shandur Polo Tournament 03

The Shandur Polo Tournament in Pakistan is played at the Shandur

Pass, the highest pologround in the world (alt 3720m - 12400ft). The

3 best teams from Gilgit and Chitral play this big tournament since

almost 400 years. The conventional polo rules are not in use for this

tournament, the only rule there is, is that there are no rules, so

the games are quiet violent. The game is very demanding for horse and

man because of the low amount of oxygene, very high temperatures and

the dusty surroundings. In this scene a Gilgit supporter is seen

while he checks the Gilgit horses condition early in the morning

prior to the C team final game. All opinions welcome...please visit
