The 67th FIP Ambassadors Cup polo tournament was a great success. It featured Malaysia’s polo heritage and love for this wonderful sport. Malaysians love their polo. This was apparent to the FIP Ambassadors throughout the tour.

Most of the Ambassadors were here for 8 or 9 days. During that time, they played at the Royal Pahang Polo Club, Putrajaya Equestrian Park and Royal Selangor Polo Club. They also visited Bukit Kiara, Ranhill-Tanamera, Central Market, Petaling Street, the Lanchang Elephant… Continue

“On 22 August in the year 2009 twenty-five courageous riders will mount their steeds amidst the ruins of the Great Khaan’s ancient capital Kharkhorin, to face a gruelling 1000 km race across the empty wilderness of Mongolia.

I’ve been having fun at Zack’s Tack. I’m in the shop every day and sometimes am manning it myself. It feels great to be back in retail. It’s been a few years since my last saddlery shop and I am enjoying reconnecting with people at a retail level.

Surprisingly we beat Jogo Polo again in our final match of the Royal Pahang National League tournament. Every time we win a match we come off the field shaking our heads and asking each other “How the heck did we do that?”. Our 3rd place finish got us 4 league points. We keep laughing because we didn’t expect to win any league points at all, so four pretty much makes our season. http://www.equestrian.com.my/blog/polo/?p=81
