Description
Chantilly in early summer, and the polo field is a sea of linen suits and wide-brimmed hats. Champagne corks pop beneath the striped awnings, children run about with flags, and then the thunder of hooves rolls across the grass. A rider in a white helmet leans so far from the saddle it seems impossible he will not fall, swings, and sends the ball sailing between the posts. The crowd leaps to its feet. At halftime, everybody walks out to stamp down the divots, laughing in the sunshine.
This box captures that dashing, dramatic moment. A polo player in action rides on horseback across its form, every stride full of movement. It is a fine gift for a polo player, a rider, a horse owner, a breeder or simply someone who loves the elegance of equestrian sport. Displayed in a tack room, a study or beside a trophy shelf, it brings speed and spirit to an otherwise still corner.
