Horse Jewelry for Polo Players

July 9, 2009 by Alison Greene

Hooves pound, creating rolling thunder within the close, excited confines of the arena. Ponies whirl, pivoting tightly, responding to the slightest touch of the reins, ears pricked forward, eager and excited, racing after the ball. The crowd is on their feet, craning to see every moment of the fast and furious action.

Forget horse racing. Polo is increasingly the equine activity of choice for the adrenaline loving set; those riders and horses who love pushing the envelope, who have perfected the seamless communication that makes this exciting athletic spectacle possible.

Whether you’re an athlete or a fan, you need horse jewelry that demonstrates your love of polo. That’s why we’re looking at this piece: A Sterling Silver Hackney on a Polo Mallet Featuring wonderful, realistic detail, this elegant sculptural piece will ride proudly on any lapel; a subtle yet elegant testimony to your devotion to the sport.

An appreciation of polo is truly timeless: the game was first played in the kingdom of Persia, which we know now as Iran. The fast pace and sheer athleticism of the sport made it an ideal training exercise for soldiers, who would often fight battles from horseback.  With more peaceful times, the sport became the genteel past time of many, with a hard core fan base developing in Britian.  American polo has truly come into its own over the past few decades, with a 32-team professional league thrilling fans across the nation.

About Alison Greene

Show Stable Artisans, The Equestrian Jeweler, was started in 1994 by 2 friends who had a passion for horses and jewelry- and who wanted to share the passion with others. They sought out the best artisans who created the finest pieces of equestrian jewelry -beautiful and keepsake pieces that reflected the equestrian lifestyle.

We chose the name for our blog for 2 reasons. The first reason is because we hope to “spotlight” the relevant trends, horse jewelry and information that will be of interest to you. The second reason we chose the name is to honor the most wonderful horse I have ever had- In the Spotlight, the chestnut horse pictured throughout this blog. She was an unbelievable show horse, a loving companion and my horse of a lifetime!
